Hops nsed at tea are highly reeon Mended for a 11 blood impurities. A good remedy for sprains and twists Is to cut a red onion into slices and bind them on the afflicted parts. Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of salt Tbe patient should bo kept as quiet as possible.

For cuts use alum water to stop the flow of btood, afterward drawing the severed parts together narrow strips of court plaster. For neuralgia apply an ordinary bread poultice as hot as can be borne to the afflicted part This remedy is very highly recommended. For a burn by vitriol or anything else apply the white of egg mixed with powdered chalk to tbe parts burned with a It will afford instant relief. The following remedy is recommended as a preventive of tonsilitis: Oil of peppermint ten drops; pure carbolic acid, one dram; alcohol, three drams. Add ten drops to a glass of hot water and use the solution as a gargle several times a day.

The adage that one "must stuff a cold and starve a fever" is pernicious. A cold is a fever, and one of the surest means of cutting it short is to take a laxative, abstain almost entirely from food for twenty-four hours and driuk two or three quarts of cool water. Mothers Clnlis. One of tbe things that the mothers' clubs have accomplished is the better ment of the diet of the children of the family. It was found on investigation that the usual breakfast given to them was a slice of baker's bread which wns sprend with a cheap jelly that could be purchased at some of the little shops.

This, with a cup of strong coffee or tea, as the family taste preferred, was given alike to the babies and the children all along the line. Following much suggestion and kindly admonition, many tenement mothers now provido sx nutri tious and wholesome, even if still Inexpensive, meal for their children. One wonders after knowing of some breakfasts spread for children In families quite out of tbe tenement district if suggestion and admonition are not quite as much needed there. Fried sausage, pork tenderloins, fried potatoes, with hot breads or grlddlecakes smoth ered in a sweet sirup, are a common American breakfast during the winter for children from five to fifteen years. It is little wonder that colds, bilious attacks, sore throats and the like are common aliments in such amines from November to May.

Tbe real mar vel is thnt the children get through the winter at all. Benefit of Exercise. Next to bodily cleanliness exercise may be reckoned as the greatest aid to beauty. In fact exercise is almost nec essary to cleanliness, for it is a great incentive to perspiration, which is nature's way of throwing tbe impurities of the body to tbe surface of the skin, from whence they are then removed by the use of water. Open air exercise should be taken every day, but according to strength.

One should return home after walking, riding or cycling with a sense of being pleasantly fatigued, but without any feeling of ex haustion. Exercise should be taken regularly, and, if possible, dumbbells should be used night and morning. The corset should not be worn while exercising with dumbbells. Skipping Is an excellent exercise for the figure, and it Is one of which our grandmothers were fond. It is usual with children to throw the rope forward when skipping, but It Is far better to throw it backward, for it expands tho chest much better.

A Lanndry Hint. For strong materials which have be come mildewed or otherwise stained a piece of lye the size of a walnut dissolved in a bucket of cold water makes a solution hi which the article may be soaked over night It should then be washed with a good white soap and boiled, lastly being run through weak blue water. This gives a peculiarly fresh and dainty whiteness. The ob jection that tbe lye will rot tbe mate rial is not sustained save In very delicate materials. A pique or duck will last several such soaklngs with no ill effects whatever.

After an engagement with govern ment troops from Barranquilla, which lasted four hours, the rebels were routed with SO men killed or wounded. A Good Scheme.

To prevent the bedclothes from rest ing on an injured foot saw a common barrel hoop Into two equal parts. Then after crossing one piece over the other and fastening them together in that position cover tbem with cotton bnt-tiiiff or old flannel. Place this in the bed over the foot and tho bedclothes over lt To Case the Feet. If when obliged to be on your feet all day yon change your shoes several times for a fresh pair, you will be astonished how much lt will rest tbe tired feet The reason for this Is that no two shoes press the foot In the same part In washing Japanned ware one a poiige dampened In warm water and Immediately afterward dry with a soft cloth.

Work to Beain April IS. From Pan Francisco to St. Petersburg by rail In twelve days! Around the world In parlor cars, with no more of a water voyage than a thirty mile transfer across Perlng strait in enormous stool lighters. This is the trip promised, within five years, for there are In Xew York, Scuttle, IVnver and Washington capitalists, engineers and explorers who have completed the preliminary work and havo arranged to start bulldiug tha Trnnsnlasknn railroad on April 15, says tbo New York World. This line, which will be 850 uWes in length, will open up one of tho richest countries In the world, but moro interesting and spectacular than that Is the certainly ot Its making what will be practically nn all rail route to Asia.

4 F. S. Granger, a Senttlo capitalist, who was for many years connected with tbo Turlington road, and J. O.

of Washington, general counsel of the new company. "It would have sounded like a Jules Verne dream thirty years ago," said Mr. Granger tho other day, "but It presents no engineering difficulties, not half tbo difficulties of building a subway In New York. Tho plan as adopted provides for a single track road from Iliamua bay, insldo of Cook's Inlet, to Port Clarence, on Bering strait, to connect on this sldo with steamers of tho Transaluskan railway running from Senttlo and on the other with steel ferries to uinko a direct connection with tho Trausslberlan railway. "Feasible? Not only feasible, but practical nnd profitable.

In 1907 one can go from San Francisco to St. Petersburg or Tarls in twelve or thirteen days. The old world and tho new will bo brought together, nnd great mineral and agricultural lauds will be thrown ami greater wealth than ono dreams of will bo reaped by the nation.

BUILT HEBE TO BEAT THE EEITISH faerman Kmperor'a Reaaona Po FlaciDK Ilia Order la the I'nlted States Explained by Diana Carry.

Plenty of Room on Board For Boy al Gueat. From a yachtsman's standpoint the kaiser's new yacht, recently launched at Shooter's island, near New York, is a wonder in her way and is the largest sailing yacht ever constructed in an American shipyard, writes Duncan Curry, the yachting expert, in the New York Journal. She is only exceeded ia size by the English schooner Gleniffer, owned by James Coats of Scotland. Many people have wondered why the uerman emperor had his boat built in America, and many believe he had her Duilt Tor political reasons, While this may be true of Trince Henry's visit and the selection of the president's daughter to christen the boat, they had nothing to uo with his original order to build the boat, which was simply due to the fact that he knew he could get a far better boat of this type built here than in either Germany or England. In 1S89 A.

Cary Smith, one of the best of our naval architects, designed a steel keel schooner for Chester W. Cbapin of New York city, which was called tbe Yampa. She was a wonderful boat in her way, and when she was afterward sold to It. Suydain rainier be visited Germany in her at the opening of the Kiel canal. There she fell under the eye of the kaiser.

lie admired her beautiful lines and wonderful seaworthy qualities which, by the way, are features of all boats designed by Cary Smith and immediately opened negotiations for her purchase. when the emperor finally purchased the yacht, he immediately renamed her the Iduna and presented her to the Empress Frederica, and shfe has been used as a sort of royal training ship for the imperial family. Within the past two or three years there has been a big revival of schooner racing in England, where some big two stickers have been built, notably the Gleniffer and Rainbow, which, while of huge size, have not been able to get out of their own way when it came to racing. Ihe German emperor, who is a great believer in ocean races, last spring decided to build a schooner to meet tbe new English boats, and, with a view of finding out what was latest and best In fhe two sticker line, he sent tbe head naval constructor of the Imperial German navy and two of his aids to America to look over the After vis iting Ilerreshoffa and all of the best naval architects In this country they decided tbat they could not do better than place an order with tbe designer of the Iduna. And so it came about that Cary Smith got the order to design tbe new royal yacht, which be in turn had built at Townsend Downey's yard at Shooter's island.

Tbe yacht is built of steel, with lead deck and bronze furnishings. The main saloon is nmidsblp and occupies tbe entire width of the vessel. It is twen ty feet long, and there will be broad divans along tbe sides, to say nothing of an open fireplace, a piano and a mu sic room. Tbe dining table will seat twenty-four persons. Aft of tbe sa loon is the emperor's stateroom, which will be furbished with a silver bed stead, a desk and a wardrobe.

Adjoining the kaiser's room there are a bath audiliis valet's room. Tbeso rooms ore on the starboard side. On the port side are three smaller staterooms for guests, and aft of these there are a vestibule and a stairway leading to a steel deckhouse, and Iiutlie extreme after portion of the yapht there is a woman's cabin, with a cbrtrooni alongside of the steclhouse. forward are the galley, forecastle and officers' quarters. Tbe entire yacht Is circled by a continuous nlr compart ment Captain Karpff and tbe Parker brothers, with a crew of twenty men, will take her to Eoglaud as soon she la rigged to have her interior fitted out.

Tbe new Meteor has an over all length of 100 feet, a waterline length of 320 feet; bcr beam Is 27 feet, her draft 15 feet and bcr structural depth 18 feet From tbe tip of ber giant club topsail to ber waterline she will tape 100 feet The following tablo will show tbe srar dimensions of the new yacht: Feet Length from end ot boom to tip of bowsprit 195.

'I be cigarettes are maae in afferent degrees of strength. she does It at tile butcners cost ir she is busy, she will not waste time li'i eating. she la unhappy, she. goes without food. A man eats if the sheriff Is at the door, If bis work drives, if the undertaker Interrupts, and he Is right.

A woman will choose ice cream instead of beefsteak, and a man will not Another of her mistakes la in not knowing how to rest If she is tired, she may sit "down, but she will darn stockings, crochet shawls, embroider dollies. She 'doesn't "know thnt bard work tires. If she Is exhausted, she will write letters, figure her accounts or read up for some circle or club. She would laugh nt you If you hinted that reading or writing could fall to rest her. AH over tho country women's hospitals flourish because women do hot know how to rest.

Another mistake on the list is their constant worrying. Worry ond hurry are their enemies, and yet they bug them to their bosoms. Women cross bridges before they come to them and even build bridges. Women are not jolly ''They make too serious a business of life and laugh At its little humors too seldom. Men stop In the midst of perplexities and have a hearty laugh, and it keeps them young.

cannot, and that Is one reason why they fade so early. Welcome Broom Cnre. Young women who are bemoaning the possession of arms uot plump enough to be pleasing may accept the following suggestion, if only on trial It is said that Clara Louiso Kellogg, the singer, when a young girl wns much annoyed by tho attenuated appearance of bet- nnus when she began to don evening dross at her crowded concerts. Some one recommended a brisk nso of tho broom, which advice she followed nnd soon hnd round, plump nrms as the reward of her labor. If a thin, listless girl ran by any menus be persuaded to try tbe "broom cure," she will bo astonished to find what a beautifler it surely Is.

Blending; China. In mending china and bric-a-brac the very best cements will fall unless they are carefully and properly applied. In the first place, make sure tbat the parts to be joined are perfectly clean nnd free from grease and grit The broken edges should be thoroughly washed In a strong solution of lye or soap and care be taken not to touch them with the bands 'afterward. The cement should be put on very sparingly, and tbe edges should be held together until It Is solid. For tills purposo a piece of copper wire Is better than string, as lt can be tightened by twisting and holds the parts more firmly.

Coffee Saner. A coffee sauce offers a good flavor with a mold of any sort of blancmange. The coffee Is brewed ill hot cream. Pour half a pint of boiling hot cream over two tnblesuooufuls of ground cof fee. Cover closely and let stand for about a quarter of nn hour; then strain into a saucepan, sweeten and stir In tbe yolk of an egg and a scant tea-spoonful of cornstarch.

Let It come to a boil over a medium fire, and when cold add the beaten whites of two eggs and set away to chill thoroughly before Small Gloves. Don't squeeze your bands Into gloves which are uncomfortably small. doing this you will be sure to mako your hands look pudgy and puddingy and will very probably mako tbem red and uncomfortable after the gloves have been taken off. Chooso gloves that aro long enough in the fingers and which button neatly at the wrixt Take care, however, that they aro not too large, for baggy backs, slouchy wrists and wrinkled fingers havo a slovenly look which is most unattractive. Hire Hands, To keep tho hands nice rub over thoroughly with a few drops of pure glycerin, which will rcmovo stains and dirt Then wash with good toilet soap and tepid water; also have a solution of borax always ready in a bottle, and Into tho water you are going to wash In pour as much as will softun it If women would only use this more and make it by dissolving borax In boiling water, they would find it most cleansing pud softening.

There is a shop on Walnut street thnt is-unique in trade in Philadelphia. Its director is a woman of high social standing whose love of art prompted her to go into trado and who since she put out her sign has been called in to decorate some of tho handsomest homes in this city. The woman is Mrs. Prlestmau, and she is the first woman in the city to take up the art of house decorating and by following her profession on the principle of art first and money mnk-, Ing second has gained a reputation and success hitherto undreamed of and has raised the work of interior decorating to a fine art Mrs. Triestman, herself a woman of refinement and culture, understands perfectly the requirements of ber fashionable patrons.

She has planned the furnishing and decorating of thclioines of some of the most influential and ex- MBS. PRIESTMAN. elusive families in town. Sho has among her patrons women who nre noted for their excellent taste and wboso names stand for all that is refined and cultured, who belong to the very oldest families in the country. These society leaders, charming hostesses, who realize tbat to a great extent tho success of entertaining depends on the beautiful and harmonious 'appearance of their parlors and drawing rooms, rely on Mrs.

to transform empty rooms into bowers of beauty and comfort That she is ever to be depended on and that her success is unfailing are proved by ber fame as an interior decorator. Mrs. Prlestmaii first studied the art of bouse decorating In England, and she was the first woman to enter that field in this country. She took up the work out of a pure love of making things beautiful and restful, and she says that In no country are restful homes more necessary than in energetic America, where the people are al ways on the rush, their nerves com. stautly strung up to the highest pitch and their brains ever active.

Philadelphia Times. A Children' Party. It la a mistake to spend much money on expensive flowers or favors for a children's party, especially if tho little folks be under ten. They will appreciate more keenly something that is novel or thnt they can eat or destroy. In celebrating a birthday the cake must be the central ornament Small cake candles are inexpensive and come In all colors.

Very pretty nre the tiny candle holders In the form of rosebuds, pink or white, and arranged so thnt they can bo securely fastened to tho cake. These cost 3 to 5 cents each. The candles should be selected to match tho Icing of the cake or the flowers used at decoration. Light them Just as the little guests are seated at the table. Surround tho cake with a wreath of evergreen or fringed tissue or milled crap's paper.

The evergreen wreath Is moro decorative with bow of ribbon- to match the candles In color at one giile. Arrange a plate with fork and tea-spoon at tbo riht und glass with straw for each cbikl nt the top of the plate, a little to the right Lay a napkin on each pinto with a name cookie at tho upper side. Tbo menu at a children's party may Inclndo plenty of chopped meat or chicken sandwiches and a few sweet sandwich bars tied in pairs with narrow ribbon, creamed chicken In paper cases or in shells, cakes, cookies and wafers, bonbons and Ice cream. Cut the ico cream In round tdmpe wbeti serving, aid It will bo Just as satlffuc-tory as If molded in fancy forms. For drink serve cocoa with whipped cream-on top or lemonade linted faintly with pink color Times.
