'FOE THE CHILDREN.

01 LETS FOR DRESS OCCASIONS FOF SCHOOL AND FOR PLAY..f'J

The Tendency Is Toward More Sensible Fashions—A Wide pifference Between Boys' Dress Salts and School Salts—Comfortable Styles For the Wttle Tots.

Durability is the fashion and will receive from mothers a vote of thanks when tho school suits of the winter aro examined. The goods aro rough and heavy, with doublo knees and seats. To patch the little trousers for Johnny will be one duty less hereafter. Almost all school suits aro with double breasted short sack coats, largo buttons and braid bound edges. Again, the "reefer" for winter topcoat is an especial fad, the wide rolling velvet collar lined with clan plaids from rich Scotch importations. For little fellows is the long skirt over-

coat, double breasted and buttoned to the bottom. Tho capes are much smaller and all detachable. They are made from fancy cloths in shades of brown, grays, fawns, etc., English mixed goods. Many of them are heavily braided with flat silk galloons, silk buttons to match.

As sensible mothers do not permit ©old weather to interfere with their children's outdoor exercise, care must be taken that warm, comfortable wraps are Provided. In addition to styles already deecribed may be noted a pretty model Cor a little girl, consisting of a tan colored cloak and hood to match, both trimmed with black far. The collar of this cloak is large enough to cover the •boulders, but does not go orer the puffed sleeves. Brown boots and stockings harmonize with the whole dress.

For little tots just beginning to walk, a scarlet cloth coat and cap trimmed with black fur will be found both comfortable and becoming. Black doth boots edged with fur may complete this costume. This dress will do for either a little boy or girl. For older boys in Itnickerbockers the newmarfcet coat rith double cape, in light ta.wn cloth, is popular. With this may be worn a brown velvet jockey cap and brown leather leggings. The empire bat in felt or fur affords a picturesque headgear for little girls and also a pretty contrast to the close hood. For boys there are all sorts of caps, more or less effective, that may be classed aa pictoroaqoe head-

The mode for children's dresses for sometime past has followed the more sensible English fashions. This is noticed first in the shortening of the skirts, which, after the little maid has .passed her third birthday, are no longer cnt on the Kate Greenaway model, but are full and flowing and so short as to just coyer the knee. Conservative mothers make the little dresses to reach midway between the knee and the top of the shoe. The children'- department is an interesting one, especially that portion which includes a warm, light, soft cloth that is utilized for bonnets, caps, bats and cloaks, as well as coats and pelisses for infants—indeed, it is suitable to any age from 3 months to 12 years. The tan and golden cloths are used for coats, and there are some new washing fabrics intepded for indoor and nursery wear. The picture garments a^e specially delightful for chil

dren, both boys and girls, and they are less costly than they used to be. Among them are the moor hats, mutch bonnets, pelisse gowns and wraps trimmed with fur. There is a new and cozy shape for sleeves, and some of the cloaks are made full and reach nearly to the feet, so cut that tliey wrap well round the small figures. Silk faced cloths in fawn, golden brown and gobelin blue aroused for older girls. The cloaks in this are graceful in form and without frills. The furs most used are of golden brown tones.

In boys' clothes a decided difference is noted this season between the toilets for school and for dress occasions. Never were the latter so elaborate or so effective in cnt and style. For boys from to 12 years, dark blno and black silk velvets arc still popular, but suits from imported cheviots and cassiiueres with rich silk bindings and buttons are readily accepted by way of variety. The constant brushing required by a velvet suit is an objection worthy consideration. Tho younger the boy the more charming the effect of a little cutaway coat and vest, but of course these aro not suitablo under 8 years old. The blottse silk shirts still aro presented, and prettier than ever before.

SELECTING OUR SHOES.,

Their Relations to Health, Beauty and Comfort—Three Styles of Fastenings.

Withm reasonable limits one* is at liberty to consult one's own preference convenience 'and comfort in the matter' of footwear, without violation of the social law. Tb« tendency of late is toward common sense in the selection of shoes For each of he three styles of fastenings of high, cut shoes something can be said

VARIOUS STYLES OF SHOES.

both in commendation and in criticism, While the congress or elastic inset is the easiest of. management, it has also the disadvantage that it exerts a continuous compression about the ankles, and thns in a degree corresponding to the tense ness of the rubber interferes with {he circulation, while it is very likely to draw and disarrange the stocking. It is decidedly difficult to get buttons so arranged as to give a perfect fit to all parts of the foot and ankle and to get them securely fastened to the leather exactly opposite the buttonhole. But when this is done a method of fastening is provided which proves very satisfactory for all manner of service.

The lace has manifold advantages. It is quite liable to break, without any preliminary warning it has a way of spontaneously untying, or of getting into a tangle which is even more difficult to manage it is not easy to get the shoe adjusted smoothly and perfectly. Yet when this is done, when the knots are made secure and the fiber is so strong that there is no danger of breakage, the lace doubtless enables the wearer to get the most perfect fit attainable in either method and to adapt it to circumstances, making it more or less snug as occasion may require, or here tight and there yielding, if necessary to favor a sensitive part.

A great deal depends upon the judgment exercised in selecting shoes. On the one hand, it is for ordinary persons unwise to buy the fancy, high priced articles, which are temptingly displayed in the shop windows to attract the public. With the exception of being unique these have nothing to recommend them. It is advised in Good Housekeeping to get the standard serviceable goods that have been tested, which the merchant is ready to warrant, because he knows whereof he affirms. It is equally unwise to buy coarse, ill fitting, perishable shoes simply because they are cheap. While the initial cost may be a little less, a well made and well fitting article will wear much more than enough longer to compensate for the difference, to say nothing of the comfort to be enjoyed or the satisfaction always to be felt in the proprietorship of a desirable outfit.

For those who desire something out of the ordinary line, the shops now present such a variety of footwear as has never been exhibited before. There are shoes slippers and boots of all colors, of endless variety of pattern. For street wear, the high cut shoe in straights, goats, calfskin, dongola kid and heavy French kid, afford a variety for selection. The most popular of all is perhaps the French

French

kid. For house wear, many select a low cut shoe or slipper in light French kid or suede. For women's evening wear, shoes are generally made of material to match the gown.

A New Idea In Pinenshions.

A new notion in pincushions is to make them flat, the size and shape of a square envelope. The pins are inserted at the edge. They are made of two pieces of cardboard covered with white silk and put together over a half inch stuffed bag of the same size. The address of the person for whom they are intended is written out first on tracing paper, then transferred to the silk and outlined. A stamp is put on one corner ---it may be painted there if one is clever with a brush, or a genuine stamp affixed in the usual way. A ribbon loop is attached to one corner by which to hang them. The foregoing suggestion is made in the New York Times.

Clam Chowder.

Take a quart each of clams, onions and potatoes. Peel and slice the onions and potatoes very thin. Put in a kettle 6 thin slices of salt pork and fry until orisp. Then put in a layer of clams, one of potatoes, one of onions, seasoning with salt and pepper, until all the ingredients are used. Cover the top of the chowder with hardtack, pour in the clam liquor and fill up with water until the whole is justcovemL Simmer for two hours. The clams may be chopped if preferred.

The Destrable Splasher.

For the washstand a splasher at the back to protect the wall is a necessity in well regulated households. To make one take a width of closely woven matting of the desired length and bind it across each end with a strip of linen

SPLASHER FOR A WASHSTAND.

about the same shade as the matting. Opon this paint in oil a running vine design in the shades of green, brown or red. A splasher of matting twice as long as the width of the matting will be found convenient If used as carpet splasher in a bathroom. These matting splashers are inexpensive and more readily made than the embroidered linen ones and do not have to be laundered, an important item in many houses.

ABOUT SCALE TESTING.

Instructive Suggestions for Youthful Performers on the Piano Forte.

An excellent test for evenness in scales is to play them over as softly as you possibly can. To realize what I wish to convey, writes Ernst Doppler for The Keyboard, try to imagine that some one is lying ill in the next room and you are fearful of disturbing them, but feel (as Indeed all earnest students do feel) that you must have some daily practice, however little, just to keep your digits in working order.

By thus playing scales very softly you will certainly find (unless very accomplished in technique) the thumb bumping somewhere, and the third finger producing but a weak sound from its key. Since to know where a weakness exists is a long way toward remedying it, I need not write any more to the intelligent student on this score.

In this excellent method of scale testing, play very slowly as well as softly at first. A little increase of pace may be made later if desired, but if the scales be played really quickly it is difficult to distinguish the faulty notes.

You will, of course, understand that each hand must play its scales separately. To try this experiment with both hands together is simply to waste time and effort.

The scale of (five sharps) is (in the right hand, at any rate) the easiest on the piano, from its being naturally adapted to the formation of the hand and for ease in thumb passing, so the student may well begin his scale testing with this. Afterward he may take E, A, flat, A flat, E flat, B. flat, F, Gr, (this is a difficult scale for the left hand), and flat (F sharp)—majors, of course. A good scale for the left hand to begin with is flat. is the most difficult in both hands to play with perfect evenness and should .therefore be left by the tyro until the last, or at any rate until late in the series, but experienced players may start upon this at the outset.

Much benefit to one's playing generally is certain to result from this searching analytical test of scale technique.

An Attractive Writing Desk.

A writing desk is not only a great convenience, but if selected with care may be an ornament as well to the room it is

USEFUL AS WELL AS ORNAMENTAL.

to occupy. There is a great variety to select from. Here is the description of a desk,suited to a place in one's parlor:

The desk is formed by a movable flap covered with morocco, and the stationery fittings are of cedar. It is fitted at the sides with brass handles, by which it can be moved about if desired, and the candle sconces are so placed that alight ran be obtained when the desk is required for use at night. The front panel is inlaid with various kinds of wood, the design forming a musical trophy. Below are shelves for books. At the back of the desk is a panel of silk, plaited in such a manner as to form a screen for photographs. Below this panel is a shelf for teacups, small ornaments, fern pots, etc., which can be let down if not required. Again, below this shelf is an ingeniously contrived rack, made to hold music, papers or needlework, which can beclosed up quite flat if not in use.

The Selection of Towels.

In buying towels the housewife will remember that large towels are considered to be the most economical purchase, although the question admits of argument. A number of good and experienced housekeepers assert that a small towel performs the better service, and though the number is increased in t!ie weekly wash any laundress prefers to «lo up three small towels to a single large wad heavy one. It is of course an individual question, but the advocates of the lesser size will have to make their towels from huckaback by the yard to insure getting a good quality, as the better grades are not offered in the very short towels. „4 V, I

At the linen counters nowadays are sold scrub cloths of sleazily woven hemp and cotton, which sell for about $1 a dozen. Another useful cotton cloth that can be bought is the so called chamois dust cloth, which is a firm, dose woven, yellow cotton flannel that looks like its namesake and excels it as a remover of dust. ft

Household Notes.

Try anew soft paintbrush for cleaning furniture that is carved. Remove ink stains from marble with lemon juice.

Lemon will remove stains from the hands, Lime water is useful and should be kept on hand. A tablespoonful of lime water added to custard will prevent the milk from curdling, and a spoonful of it in a glass of milk is excellent for children or those persons who cannot use sweet milk.

If grease has been spilled on table or floor of kitchen or pastry, put a little aoda on the spots and then pour boiling water over them.

A baked iemon is said to be as excellent remedy for hoarseness and one that Is often resorted to by singers and irablic speakers. The lemon is baited like an apple and a little of the heated and thickened juice aqueesed over lump sugar.

WARNED BY HIS DEAD WIFE.

A Voice That Came In the Night and Saved a Girl's Life. "Now, my friend Mr. So-and-so had entirely different experiences that converted him," continued the gentleman. "One night, many years ago, he and his family retired. Shortly after midnight he was awakened by the voice of his dead wife, who said, 'Gas, quick.' He thought it was imagination and lay awake thinking about it for some time. As he was dozing off tlje voice came again, 'Gas, quick, quick,' with more imperativeness. 'Well,' thought my friend, as he sat up in bed, 'that surely was my wife's voice, but I was just dozing off to sleep, and I may have imagined it. I will stay awake now so that'—just then the voice came again with greater sternness, saying in an imperative way, 'Gas, quick, quick, quick!' My friend waited no longer, but jumped from his bed and rushed to the rooms on the second floor where his daughters were sleeping. There was no gas there. Down stairs he hurried, looked into the cellar and all about, but no gas was to be found. He suddenly remembered a newly arrived Swede girl who came that day to do housework, whp was sleeping on the third floor. Up stairs he sprang with a bound, and as he neared the door he detected the gas. He broke into the room and found it filled with gas.. In the stillness he could hear the heavy, labored breathing of the girl on the bed. "He saw no time was to be lost. Down on his knees he got, and keeping his face as close to the floor as possible, he crawled to the window which he opened. He then reached for the girl, and catching her arm, which was hanging over the side of the bed, pulled her to the floor and through the open door to the next room, where restoratives were applied. The girl was asphyxiated and in 15 minutes more would have been dead. It took several days for her to recover. She had tried the old experiment of blowing out the gas with almost fatal results. My friend tells me that frequently in times of danger the warning voice of his wife comes to his rescue."—Pittsburg Dispatch.

For Nervousness

Use Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Dr. H. N. D. PARKER, Chicago, 111., says: "I nave thoroughly tested it in nervous diseases, dyspepsia and general debility, and in every case can see great benefit from its use."

Preservation of Butter.

When we consider how many hints have been given during the many centuries past for the preservation of fruits, it is remarkable that the present enormous industry in that line had not been invented earlier. It shows the advantage of what are, called abstract studies. When by the invention of the microscope it was found that rot and decay were the result of the action of small organisms, and that not even these fungi could develop without atmospheric air, it was the most natural thing in the world that successful canning of fruits,should follow, "yet the hint has long ago been given in connection with many things, and especially with the preservation of butter.

The old Gardeners' Monthly recorded a number of cases where butter had been fished out of wells, where it had dropped from vessels suspended over the water for the sake of the cold temperature. These lumps of butter, in many cases a century old, were found just as fresti uud good as the day they were churned. Kept, from the atmosphere, no parasitic fungus could attack it. Recently butter has been found at the bottom of bogs in the old world. It is believed in some cases to be nearly a thousand years old, and yet entirely fresh and good. These hints certainly are of great value to the practical person, who desires to see a dollar and cent value in every scientific idea.—Meehan's Monthly.

Be Your Own Doctor.

It won't cost.you one half as much. Do not delay. Send three 2 cent stamps for postage, and we will send you Dr. Kaufmann's great work, fine colored plates from life, on-disease, its causes and home cure. Address A. Ordway & Co., Boston, Mass.

Caloric.

"During your Arctic expedition," some one asked an explorer, "how did you get warm when your fuel gave out?" "Simplest thing in the world," answered the explorer. "Two of us were Republicans and two Democrats, and whenever the thermometer in the hut went below the freezing point we talked politics."— Youth's Companion.

I can recommend Ely's Cream Balm to all sufferers from dry catarrh from personal experience.—Michael Herr, Pharmacist, Denver.

I had catarrh of the head and throat for fiveyears. I used Ely's Cream Balm, and from the first application I was relieved. The sense of smell, which had been lost, was restored after using one bottle. I have found the Balm the only satisfactory remedy for catarrh, and it has effected a cure in my case.—H. L. Meyer, Waverly, N. Y.

Lane's Family Medicine Moves the Bowels Each day. Most people need to use it.

PHENYO-CAFFEIN.

If you Have Headache or Neuralgia, Take Phenyo-Caffein Pills.

They are effectual in-relieving Pain, and in curing Headache or Neuralgia. They are not a cathartic and contain nothing that stupefies. They tone up the nerves and tend to prevent returns of Headache and Neuralgia. They are guaranteed to do all that is claimed for them.

TESTIMONIALS.

I have never seen anything act so promptly as Phenyo-Caflein in sick and nervous Headache. Many cases have been cured and not any failures reported. H. L. Fairer, Belle Voir, N. C.

For jean I have been a terrible sufferer from headache some six months ago my physician prescribed PhenyoCaffein, and since tben, by their use, I have not had a severe headache, being able to stop them completely in their incipiency. J. H. Stannard, Concord, N. H.

Yon hit tbe nail on the head when yon put Phenyo-Oaffein on the market. They are tbe best thing out for headache. E. P. Jones, M. D., Orleans, Mass.

One year ago I was one of the greatest sufferers from sick and nervous headache I ever knew. I no more have trouble with sick headache and seldom have even a si igbt headache. I attribute the great change to your Pbeuyo Caffein. a remedy could not do without if it cost $5 a box. I have tried a dozen or more medicines (warranted to cure) without their even helping me. I can not praise your valuable preparation enough. Frank 8. Schmltt, Seymour, Indiana.
