How Norwegian Bread I* Made,

How to make little children behave themselves in a problem that prewoits itielf in Kme form or other to yoang mcrthers continually, and the way they try to solve it is often amusing, but morr generally painful, to the disinterested onlooker. A writer recently paid a visit to a "babies' shelter," which is in charge of a committee of intelligent women, who are trying to prove that spanking is not at all necessary to make youngsters behave themselves*

Children are taken into this place when they are from 18 months to 2 years old, and are looked after until they are 6. They come from the ranks of the poor, and have generally been accustomed to bad food, bad air and bad clothing. The house to which they are taken is large, well ventilated, and the laws of good health are strictly observed.

Every child has a morning bath and wholesome breakfast, after which they are sent out in the yard to play for several hours then comes, I believe, some sort of kindergarten exercise, which is more like a play than a task, then dinner, then a nap, and a walk in the fresh air.

Under such a regimen as this the change which takes place in the appearance of the poor little half starved waifs is perfectly marvelous. A pale, sickly, ugly little specimen of humanity will, in an incredibly short space of time, develop into a healthy, plump, rosycheeked little beauty. And what is still better, their dispositions also show a vast improvement, for unless children are spoiled they are nearly always good when they are comfortable. "Our first trouble," says the bright eyed girl who showed the visitor around, "is to teach the new children to oat regular meals usually they don't want any breakfast then about 10 o'clock they bagin to cry for something to eat. For the first few days we humor thom a little, for everything here is new and strange and they are unhappy at being separated from their parents but after that an early sapper is given them of bread and milk, rice pudding, hominy or some other light food, and they are allowed nothing else before bedtimo so next morning they awake feeling bright and hungry, and relish their breakfast so well that they eat heartily, and by keeping them amused and entertained they seldom think of asking for anything to eat until their 12 o'clock dinner. "This is a good, wholesome meal of soup, fresh meat, well cooked vegetables and fruit. The children are encouraged to eat as much as thoy like, and having learned by experience that they will be allowed nothing between meals, soon get into the habit of making a full meal, and then forget all about eating until the next. No coffee or tea is permitted, but they have an abundance of fresh, sweet milk. From the way children want to do after thoy come here, it seems they have been allowed to amuse themselves at home, eating all day long. That is what makes them so cross—they are half sick all the time. You know yourself that you couldn't stand it. •A Our children are very good." a tk "But

Vane,

sometimes?" was

:ed. "I have" seen children at home with boffi fiielr mothers got into a perfect rage, lie jjwn on the floor and roll and kick, and

TMwui at the top of their voices. Then the mother says there is nothing to be done except spank the child, which she generally proceeds to do. What do you do in such cases t" "Somehow, the children here never get into such tantrums they wish to be good. The nurses have a system of rewards rather than punishments. When a child is good it is allowed many privileges. For instance, some of our friends are always Bending the children fruit or some little nice thing to cat, in which the ones who have misbehaved are not allowed to shore. Of course, the child is naturally very indignant, and thinks itseif badly used, but it remembers to be good next time, for it ihuls that being bad doesn't pay." "Hut these are very mild measures. What do you do wheu they fall—when a child refuses to be pacified on auy terras?" "Then it is put to bed," she answered. "Thoy dislike that worse than anything—not to have nny toys to play with or anybody to talk to. A child remembers that a long time.

Our children ruv never allowed to gain anything by crying they aro always tho losers. Ami

mthor.- they actually pay their children to cry. A little' wanted to go sotmnvhere wjth her father, but the weather was bitter cold that (1'iy, and her mother refused to permit her to out. The child, however, was determined to carry her point, and went about it iu the most systematic way. They lived in the country, where they bad huge wood tires, and looking around the room for an humble sent she saw the pile of wood near the door and went and sat down upon it and began to cry softly to herself. Pretty soon her father passed by and asked what was the matter. "1 want to go with you," said the child, holding up her pretty tearful face. "That you shall," he said. "Here, wife, wrap this chilli up well, and give her to me. I'll take her, if it is cold."

As the little girl went off to get her wraps, she murmured softly, yet still loud enough to be heard: "I thought if I cried, pa would let me go." —New York Sews.

The Indolent Women of Guaymaa. Mauual labor is considered dishonorable for any but tho lowest clams, and poor indeed must the aristocratic Mexican become before he or she will consent to do any kind of work, indoors or out—in most cases I •erily believe they would prefer starvation. To be sure, the ladies look after their households a little each day, after a fashion—that is, they go around the casa and worry the multitude of servants by. ignorant orders moot of them use the needle skillfully on lace work and embroidery. But for the moat part their lives are spent in the hammock, eating, sleeping, smoking cigarettes in dainty ailwr holders, and chatting airy nothing*.

Ladies of the Chase.

1

"ar*-

The ladies take more and more every year a share in the excitement of the chase. The Comtesse de Paris and the Duchesse d'Uras are the leading huntresses. The fleetueas with which they follow the bunt and their exploits in the field have won for them fame. A number of ladies who do not hunt on horseback hunt cm foot, and, gun in hand, prove themselves untiring pedestrians. French women were atone time little addicted to taking open air exercise now, during the autumn season, their walking exploits rival the prowess of the hardier English women.

They tramp through woods and across country clad in skirts scarcely coming down to the knees, wearing high boots of untanned leather reaching up to the hem of the skirt a business-like looking little bag hung with a strap across the shoulder, a gun and a small felt hat complete their attire. The grasses are made of velvet or light woolen material of the color of the woods in autumn, russet and golden brown heather, or uim green like the green of the pine trees.

To describe ows of these dresses is to describe all. The one we have in mind, destined for one of our most accomplished Dianas, and made by a leading house, was of woolen stuff, checked fawn and brown. The short skirt was pleated and edged with a band of brown velvet. The velvet vest bodice opened over a chamois waistcoat fastened with filigree buttons. Untanned leather boots, a Russian leather sachet, a small, brown felt hat trimmed with a pheasant's wing, carried out the sober autumnal harmony of color.—Woman's World.

Manners at Table.

The time for acquiring good table manners Is during childhood and at home. Tears at boarding school, hours spent over books of locial etiquette, may efface vulgar habits, but can never give the ease and grace acquired in childhood at a well ordered table. A child who is almost a baby can be taught to handle his knife and fork, or spoon, if he is too young for those more advanced implements, with a daintiness that will offend no one. Whore there are children, it is not a good plan to have a wide difference between your everyday and company china, silver and napery. There is too apt to bea wide difference, also, between everyday and company manners, Let each child have his coveras nicely laid with plate, knife and fork, spoon, napkin and glass as bis elders, and remember that he will be sure to note your own use of these articles. Teach him to say "thank you" and "please," and if he is allowed to leave the table before the me&lis ended, let him learn to say "excuse me." We were very much amused at a baby of four summers who recently dined at our table. The meal, interspersed with interesting conversation, was tedious to hia infant appetite and intellect, and finally the little man spoke up with: "May I be excused, please? I have enjoyed my dinner very much." Some one at the table—not his father—remarked that that boy bid fair to be "the finest gentleman in America."—American Agriculturist.

Auburn Haired Girl*.

All young women possessed of red hair can remember that in the days of their childhood their hirsute adornment was a source of mnoking merriment to their friends, and the term "sorrel top" or "strawberry blonde"' was one of contempt. They wondered, perhaps, why it was they were always called "red headed," when their playmates were described as being black, brown or golden haired. But the "rad headed" girls don't mind now that it is every young woman's ambition to be auburn haired, and she hopes by the use of hair dyes to attain the shade which belonged to the wicked Lucretia. If she gets exactly the right shade she does not see why a single thread of her hair might not be preserved Mid exhibited, as is the one so

{onged

roudly

shown in Florence as having beto the wicked Lucretia. It is odd how many famous women have had this Titian red hair. Catharine of Russia gloried iu it, and Anne of Austria had brown hair, just on the verge of beiug red. Ninon do l'Enclos was equally proud of her warm colored tresses, and Mary Stuart seemed a daughter of the sun. Jane Hading and Mrs. Potter both have warm, auburn hair, but it does not reach the real tinge, which is that which crowned, in all her glory, the head of the Empress Eugenie, she who has known the extreme of happiness and of sadness.—Exchange.

The New Colors.

Eiffel red is a deep brick red, having a dash of terra eotta. Buffalo is a rich medium red, Virgil is a bright shade, rosewood a purplish red, ten a flaming Bhade, imperial a deep tint and Titian a yellowish red Red is a most prominent color, green, lilac, brown, gray and blue following. Cythere is a pale green, reseda a grayish green, tilleul alight yellow green, lisard a bluish tint, linden a pale gray shade, verdette a dark leaf green, ecoroe a grayish green, also Rhone and sage. Serpen te is of a blue gray green, if such a combination can be imagined. Vieux rose remains a famed pink, while rose fane is of the same style, though brighter. Orchid is a pinkish mauve, veal a reddish pink, and Camilla a very deep shade. Mikel is a bjuish gray silver and steel are clear shades. Boa and serpent are greenish grays. Afrique is a red brown chestnut and Vandyke golden browns Chataigne a dark oak shade, and Kairtman yellow brown. Citron hi a bright yellow, or rouge a red gold pearl, grayish white opal, milk white: sliver white, a pale gray white violet, purplish lavender iris, blue plum burned brandy, brown lilac, and a pale plum, having a tint of pink. Saxe is a deep bios Ciladon, a greenish shade Russian, a dark tint gris bleu, a steely blue granite, a gray Woe Quaker, a clear shade, and Neptune, a dark, grayish tint.—Exchange.

A Japanese Sister.

A Japanese house is all hack dodr hut the backdoor faces the street and to separated by only afoul ditch which runs the of every Japanese street on both sides, to which all the refuse and slops at every family find their way. There is no tide walk, but the better bouses have a little Tvi««»ir bridge y»«»fag the ditch in front. He whole side of the boose is open to the street by that, if a baby chances to be tied to the busy mother* beck as she goes about her work, it is virtually on the street anyway.

Sometimes it looks as if one. baby had just been unstrapped from its mother's back and bad the next one tied to its own before it had guinea strength enough to support itself with moo Then both babies are to be pitied. Think of your little 4 or 5 year old girl mth a baby from 3 months to a year old hung to her back—never free from her burden for an hour at a time, from ear 17 morning nntil late at night. Japanese children are not tucked away in their downy beds with the setting of the sun, but stay out with their street companions until nature is exhausted. Thai the babies are removed, and they creep under their cover on the floor and sleep until the daylight calls them out from their dreary, ill ventilated rooms to the street again.—Babyhood.

". The "First Intention."

If children are taught to do things by the "first intention" and the parents keep up the practice, half the work of housekeeping will be saved. For example, the boy who is always whittling, should be taught to do the cutting over the wood box or on papers spread down to protect the carpeting, and when he is through, he should see that the room is as tidy as before, not leaving the dirt for his mother or sister to sweep up. In Cutting out work or in dressmaking, no time is lost in gathering up the scraps as they fall from the scissors and putting them in a basket, und the room is not kept in such a state of disorder that one can hardly tell which way to turn. In short, there is no need of two movements where only one is necessary. It takes no longer to put the burnt match into the receptacle provided for it or into the fire at the time it is used than it does an hour later. If a smutty kettle is set on a table, it takes more tim« and strength to wash off the marks left than it would to have placed paper beneath the kettle in the first place. Teach the children when eating their luncheons to sit quietly in one place and not scatter the crumbs broadcast over the floor, or, when eating candy, impress it upon them to touch nothing about the room with their sticky fingers. It Is chiefly in avoiding the "litter" or confusion made by both the children and the elders that the saving tells. There are hundreds of other natters wherein the first way of d«" laves time and trouble but tt though simple, may serve as e:| Lewiston Journal

I 1 Norwegian Bread. The real Norwegian bread is the fla' bro, or flat bread, made of barley flour or oatmeal stirred into water with a little salt, and ironed out in large flat sheets afoot in diameter. Sometimes potato, and nearly always caraway seeds, are added, and ip the uninitiated fla' bro looks like so mam wrinkled bits of leather. The large rounfi wafers of fla' bro are baked about once a car at the farm houses, and put away in the fcabbur, or storehouse. It is brought out as ®eded, and freshened by being put in the oven for a few minutes. A Norwegian table is never set without a large plate of fla' bro, and travelers learn to like the crisp brown wafeSr bits that go so well with cheese. It is grange that with the present rage for novelties for the dinner and the afternoon tea tale, no one should have introduced the llrijapro, as, in every city whero thero are atiM^candinavians, there are bakers who maw it.—Harper's Bazar.' 1*1 I

Queen's Mistake

It is so infrequent that the queen te wrong on a point of detail that the following story is worth telling. An artist who is pretty well known to fame was ordered to take down a military picture for exhibition at Windsor. He did so, and the queen on seeing it at once remarked that in a certain unimportant particular one of the uniforms was incorrectly paint*** The artist was so little erf a courtier as to protest respectfully that be was right, and her majesty to convince him sent for a specimen soldier from the guard on duty. He came and an examination of his coat proved tH»t the artist was correct. It is only fair to add that an alteration had only recently been made by the authorities, of which the queen was, apparently, not aware.—Figaro.

Hew Styles' In Furs, For Garments, Seal Wraps and Fur Lined Cloaks—All About Shoulder Capes of Fur and This Season's

Boas and Malik. Seal garments lead in popularity. Sealskin sacques remain in favor with misses and young matrons, while mantles and long garments are preferred by middle aged and elderly ladies. The seal sacques are, properly speaking, natty coats, made double breasted, with high shouldered coat sleeves and less fullness in the back. Most of these sacques are made with a collar that turns up high about the neck. The seal wraps, or mantles, are similar in fashion to those of last season many show long, straight fronts and flowing sleeves set high on the shoulders. Long seal garments literally cover the wearer from head to foot. A novelty has been introduced in the shape of a circular with the back following the outline of the figure, and straight fronts.

SEAL JACKET—PKRSIAN LAMB CAPS. "a£" Fur trimmed cloth wraps include a great variety of jackets, coats, vhites and long cloaks. The fur lined garments are almost entirely confined to wraps especially designed for evening and carriage wear.

The fashion prevails in fur wraps of two differing furs, as sealskin trimmed with Persian iamb skin, seal and silver fox, etc. Fashionable furs for trimmings embrace Russian sable, Hudson Bay sable, beaver, sea otter, lynx, fox, Alaska sable, chinchilla and Persian lamb,

"FUR LINED EVENING CLOAK In the first out, one figure represents a sealskin jacket, with Medici collar, cuffs and facings of boaver. The collar can be turned down if desired. The remaining figure shows one of the several forms of shoulder cape now in fashion. The one pictured is in black Russian lamb, with revere and long boa ends in lustered beaver. The muff matches the cape.

In the second cut appears the representation of an exceedingly warm, and at tha same time light and becoming wrap for evening wear. The outside is of plush of any pleasing color, and the linings and trimmings are of fine far.

New Muflb, Collars and Boas. Flat muffs have a new feature in a ruffled border at each end of a different kind of fur thus a Persian lambskin muff has a sealskin ruffle gathered at each end, and loops of sealskin are in tho ribbon bow which is set on the front a pretty figured satin lining s'howb inside the frIT! .1 ruds. Similar muffs of sealskin have Persian lamb ruffled ends. Round muffs are slightly larger in shape, with fancy linings, but no trimming of bows. A combination of two furs is seen in muffs' to match collars, capes, or jackets, made by alternate stripes of the furs around the muffs, such as seal alternating with Persian, or with leopard, or with undyed seal

The fur cravat is a novelty for wrapping around the high collar of the gown or cloak, and is made of the whole skin of a single animal, with its stuffed head and legs and tail left on. Paris cravats have the eyes of the sable or mink head made of jewels, but a plain, natural eyed Russian sable skin is handsome and costly enough for most tastes and purseSL

Boas are more gracefully made this winter, and are three yards in length. The richest boas are of sable, silver fox or black bear, and others are of lynx, colored black marten, otter, fox bleute, fox argente, beaver, or raccoon. The new fur collars have a plastron pointed to the waist, with high standing English collar, or the Elizabethan en* Marie Antoinette collar wired to flare oatward from the face. The Russian collar of laat year is again worn very wide, and rolled in a point to the waist.—Harper Ba«r. ui

Bracelets and bangles are in" greater' demand than ever. Japanese dressing gowns and sacques are in favor now with New York ladies. These are made of Japanese silk and wadded throughout.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

New IdeaVTD«»iK»s and Recipes for Housekeepers and Home Makers. The arrangement of tables for dinner parties has grown to be an art in which no small ingenuity is exhibited. To devise an entirely new fashion of doing this is a triumph on the part of the hostess. A very unique and successful effect was lately produced by arranging the tables in a triangle. The host sits at the point of the triangle, with the two most distinguished female guests on his right and left hand. The hostess occupies the center of the base of the triangle and has the distinguished men with her.

The beauty of this arrangement is that at large dinners the host and hostess are not entirely removed from the guests at the oenter of the table. As is usually the case, they are so far removed that they cannot keep an eye upon them, and see that they are well served and are being amused. But with the triangular table every one faces them, is near enough for conversation to be possible and agreeable, and altogether the conversation is easier to start and to regulate.

At a recent fashionable dinner the center of the triangle was fitted with ferns edged with Parma violets, and the tablecloth was of pale pink silk under elaborate openwork damask. At each place was a little gilded Japanese basket tied with silk ribbons and filled with the violets. There were twentytwo people at table, but every one was brought into such direct communication with the host and hostess by this arrangement that It resulted in being one of the pleasantest and liveliest dinners of the season, and it is likely to be imitated many times.

Little Bed Bird Lice.

Our pet canaries, fond as we are of them, sometimes suffer because of unintentional neglect One cause of great discomfort to these gay songsters is the little red bird lice whose presence may exist for a time without being suspected by the bird's mistress. If your canary iB growing lean, looks out of condition and pecks at himself continually, especially at night, he is most probably infected with this pest.

Throw a piece of white flannel over the cage at night, and if mites are the trouble you will find a number of these tiny red insects on it in the morning. Keep the cage clean, and every day put fresh, clean sand mixed with a little crushed aniseed on the bottom, cover with the flannel at night, and in a short time the insects will be overcome.

Sliced Green Tomato Pickle. Slice one peck of green tomatoes and six large onions, sprinkle with a cupful of salt and let stand over night in the morning drain off the liquid and add to the tomatoes two quarts of water and a quart of vinegar boil fifteen minutes, drain off the vinegar and water and throw it away add to the pickle two pounds of sugar, two quarts of vinegar, t«c tablespoonfuls each of cloves, alspice, ginger, mustard, cinnamon and one teaspoonful of cayenne boil fifteen minutes.

If you like musk, use one dram of musk, but it is a matter of choice. Musk is offensive to many persons, and the recipe is complete without it The longer you keep it the nicer the perfume. Keep corked tight at all times.

A Fad In Serving Bread* -1

"Bread should not be sliced" is the dictum of some of our housekeepers who take kindly to new fashions. One little woman, who is au fait on all such matters, uses a silver bread plate, on which is placed half a loaf. The guest who abhors crust is allowed to tear out a handful of "soft" from the very heart of tlje loaf, while tho English lover of well-done-and-a-day-old breaks off whatever he wishes.
