What is needed in this respect is a budget system which would put such affairs upen a businessifke basis instead of leaving them as at present in an al- most unfathomable tangle from which it is dificult to oxplain the necessity of ecconomy except upon general grounds. IMMIGRANT PESTS. There was a time when pest the forerunners of what afterwards proved to be pests could be brought into this country with impunity. Such is not the case today and the wisdom of it is fully understood by those who has suffcred from the ravages of insects, birds and animals brought from other countries. Most of the import- ed pests have been ' obtained for the purpose of doing good, since | they were looked upon as the of other pests which it was to destroy. The faith in the ectiveness of such means has not shaken, but it is from the fact| the importations have proven so so than the original that no be n with any more. st such grounds that ¢ has invoked the laws nest of ants brought to try by Mrs, C.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. water is excellent for cleaning a dia- mond. It should be applied to the under side and will make it very bri- Hant. It is wise to break eggs, one at a time, into a cup, and transfer each one as it is broken. Then, if one prove: bad, the whole dish will not be spoil- ed.

Sashes are now tied at the back in large spreading bows which accentu- ate the bustle draperies. Tulle calottes, with fur and jet trim- mings, are hats much liked for wear at the dancing teas. Some of the new silks with amaz- ingly bright and large designs upon them are meant to be used in quanti- ties for the new blouses. are veiled. shawl collars, frill of the same material, will worn by the smart little Parisiennes. Black and white combinations are as popular _as ever, and the loveliest frocks of black charmeuse have tunics of white charmeuse cut in 0dd designs. Small hats of black straw trimmed with_choux of brilliant colored veivet or ribbon, placed directly in front, are the approved headgear of little girls. One of the newest ideas is a lace trimmed garter, the lace so deep that it falls from knee to ankles. It is in- tended to be used with dancing dress- es which permit no petticoat Among the juvenile models which deserve attention are the bolero jackets of black velvet which are worn over frocks of plaid materials.

To prevent buttonholes from raveling in thin goods mark the buttonhole with a thread, then work it completely be- fore cutting. In this way you will have a much evener buttonhole and it will not ravel. This is especially suited to cotton crepes.

COAL ECONOMIES. To make coal last longer dissolve a small handful of washing soda in pail of warm water. Sprinkle this over the coal, using a watering can. Coal dust mixed with clay makes ex- cellent firebals. Chalk mixed with coal gives out an intense heat. Lay some pleces at the back of your stove. They soon glow red and keep hot for a long time. For a few pennies at a builders enough chalk could be purchased to last two or three months. CONCERNING WOMEN. Over 25,000 women are employed in the manufacture of wool and worsted 8004 in Leeds, England. c. Berry Wall, once so famous as thd arbiter of fashion, says that the American girl of to-day 18 a different creature from the girl of twenty years ago. He. thinks that she 1s drifting toward masculinity, and he says that men do not find such women interest- ing. The chief charm of woman, he says, is in being different from ' the other sex. Mrs. Emma H. L. Knight of New York says that the “goo goo” girls is no longer wanted in business circles. | Men ~want stenographers and clerks Who know their business and who aiso know how a business woman should dress. An office with a “goo £00” girl in it would be a reflection on the busi- ness ability of the man at the head of |it. The Vanderbilt hotel in New York has an idea for the benefit of its guests who have children which might well be copied by other hotels. A kinder- garten has been established, under a trained teacher, using toys of every description to ' keep the youngsters amused, and in the meantime they may be learning something worth while. During the past year Cleveland had one divorce in each four marriages. Mary of England saves vear due to her economiz- Queen $55,000 a ing ways. Over 400 women made application for patents in Great Britain last year. Mrs. Ledke of Winchester, Va, cul- tivates a plantation of 8,000 apple trees. Mrs. Brama L. Schultz is the only woman hotelkeeper in Delaware coun- Pennsylvania. Woman school teachers in Cincin- nati have been placed on the same oqual as the man teachers. The mayor of Covington, Ky., has been asked to appoint & woman as & member of the police force. Sheldon has announced sociate justice of the Supreme court of Kansas. TO KEEP SOAP. Nover put a quantity of new soap in the pantry—its odor is penetrating and delicate articles take on the flavor. It is economy to get both laundry and toilet soap by the box and dry it thor- oughly before using.

Sometimes we congratulate ourselves on our wide catholicity, our fine tol- rance, our large hearted _charity. Theso are attributes of which the pres- ent generation is rather proud. What- ever else we may me, we flatter our- Ives that we are larger minded than our grandfathers or -even than « thers; we sce things in a broade our horizons are wider. Outwardiy there may be someth in the boast. We are not a persecuti generation: we do not believe in quisitorial tribunais that sit in ju ment on the opinions of others maiters of faith or no faith we are con- tent to live and let live. But why Are we really so much larger hearte 80 much more magnanimous than ou ancestors? s it not rather that we no longer care for the things for which they cared that we hayo grown different and ca erefore afford gencrous Tolcrance In matters for which we 4, to upful | ! care nothing is a purely negative fea- ture: there is no virtue in it. 1t is nothing elther to be reprobated or ad- mired. Sometimes it is mere sloth; | We are too lazy to form an opinion; | our interests are not affected and we donot trouble. There is at least one' thing to be said in favor of Digotry— it is sincere and it feels strongly, We may be too half hearted to be sincere, too shallow to feel deeply. So long as we remain indifferent nothing can be more tolerant than our attitude toward others; let those oth- ers become violently antagonistic to our closest convictions—or, to put it on a lower level, our personal interests, our property, our possessions, material or other—and the boast of Charity is forgotten, the tolerance becomes a de- ceptive name; We are at one with our forefathers, because human nature has remained the same. The outward ex- pression has changed, the inward real- ity continues. WATCH YOUR STEP!
