Cor. New York World. . Women and Their Teeth. "Dentists have some decidedly funny experiences," ex-periences," said Dr. Howard Magnusson. "Not long ago a German woman came into my office and wanted to know if Bhe could get a set of up stairs and down Btairs teeth. Of course I knew what she meant, and she was speedily accommodated. Another woman applied for the privilego of renting a set of false tooth for an evening. She had been invited to an entertainment, but had no false teeth of her own and had no money to buy a set, so she thought that she would rent a set, that she might be able to do jur-tice to tho viands that would bo set before her. Another woman had an Ulster on her tooth, she snid, and wanted to have it removed. The latest funny incident inci-dent that happened to me Was the visit paid to me a day or two ago by a woman who wanted to have her teeth sharpened so that she could oat beefsteak. That party had the true carnivorous instinct." Chicago Post. THE CITADELOF WOMAN 8ome of the Evil Effects of Mrs, Martinets Infancy Drill To Give Money to Children! WOMAN'S MISTAKE IN SHOPPING How Bab ia Pod The Young Woman of Today Feminine, but Neat. The infantry drill in some households we wot of is subversive of all the inoRt on- gnging qualities of childhood. Look, for i example, at Mrs. Martinet's family. Everything Every-thing like impulse has been disciplined out of them. Mrs. M. herself is said to have been very strictly brought up on tho auto- I matic principle, and tho strait jacket system of education which made her tho statuesque creature she is she faithfully repeats upon her children. People say they are remarkably well behaved. They never romp or laugh or do anything obstreperous. ob-streperous. When spoken to they respond in set phrase, as if talking out of a book. - If in their babyhood they exhibited any germs of a rollicking disposition tho said germs were carefully extinguished. No signs of them at prewmt exist, and looking into the dull, untwinkling eyes of Mrs. Martinet's children Ono can hardly fancy that even in their long clothes they ever ventured on a chuckle or a crow. And yet, as we have hinted, the little Martinets are considered model children. So, in fact, they are in one sense, for they are about as unimprossibla as if they had beon molded out of wax, or cast in plaster of paris. Th'oir mother, who, in hor cold way, is somewhat proud of the little "precisians," "pre-cisians," in making honorable mention of their negative virtues, assures her acquaintances ac-quaintances she is too much of a machine to have friends that they never make any noise. The idea of noiseless boys and girls! What do children come into the world for but to make a noise to whoop, whistle, sing, danee, run, jump, fight, yell, roll in the dirt and spoil their clothes? Ahl Mrs. Martinet, your repressive system is all wrong. The enthusiasm of childhood should be gently and wisely guided and directed not cheked down. . The boy is father to tho man, and if the boy is systematically sys-tematically snubbed into silence bo assured as-sured the man will uover "make a noiso in the world." New Yar'i Ledger. ping." A little forethought, and eepecially the remembering what so many women forget, that it takes time to go from place to place, and that street ears are not lightning light-ning transits, would mako a vast difference differ-ence in many cases. Harper's Bazar. ! How to Give Money to Children. - : Give your little folks a weekly allowance as soon as they are able to stand before a cundy counter that comprises what an allowance al-lowance would mean to the average child giving thorn to understand that just so much is the limit of their pin money. (I believe I began with two cents, increasing in time to five.) Then add to that weekly whatever thoy may earn in little ways. Teach them the pride of having earned pennies. Many a good habit can bo inculcated incul-cated by at first stimulating it by a small reward. For instance, a penny for having clean hands, clean nails, cloun teeth, for well combed hair, for hanging up coat and hat in coming from school on nails put low and especially fur them, for filling the wood box, and so on for various things adapted to varied circumstances. But that is not all. Teach them what the money is distinctly for, and that if tho requirements re-quirements are slighted or undone the pennies pen-nies will not be forthcoming. Teach thorn i that they cannot have the "hnlr combed penny" it they come to dinner with a frowzy head, or that the door mot penny Is not theirs if there are muddy tracks in the kitchen. Cor. Good Housekeeping. How Raby Is Fed. My baby nurses practically when she is hungry, every four to Bix hours, on the average. I am inclined to think that hot-tlod hot-tlod babies should not he Jed oftener than once in four to Bix hours. Our baby is never overfed, and we never allow her to nurse until we know that she is hungry. Nor do we ever interrupt her sloop to feed her. Not long ago Bhe woke up at noon, nursed, wout to sleep again at 3 o'clock and slopt till 10 o'clock at night 10 hours without nursing. The sleep was of as much benefit to her as the food given when she waked hungry. We hope that she will nurse until she is 13 or 15 months old, and we will not begin to give hor cow's milk until wo see that the mother's milk is actually insufficient. When she is ready to take solid food, which she will not be until she is Id or 15 months old, then she will gut graham bread with the milk and we may add a littlo fruit later. Many babies die of dyspeptic starvation star-vation by overfoeding, and I don't intend to let mine. Interview in Boston Globe. j The Young Women of Today, ' It is not enough that the young women of today shall be what their mothers are or were. They must be more. The spirit of the times calls on women for a higher order of things, and the requirements of the woman of the future will be great. I ' must not be misconstrued into saying that I the future woman will be one of mind j rather than of heart. Power of minu1 in itself it-self no more makes a true woman than does wealth, beauty of person, or sociul station. But a clear intellect, a well trained mind adorns a woman, just as an ivy will adorn a splendid oak; a true woman has a power, something peculiarly hor own, in her moral influence, which, when duly developed, makes her queen over a wide realm of spirit. But this she can possess only as her powers pow-ers are cultivated. Cultivated women wield the scepter of authority over the world at large. Wherever a cultivated woman dwells be sure that there you will find refinement, moral power and life in To Carve Fowl. Place the fork firmly into the thick part of the breast; take slices from each side of the breast bone, extending the whole length of the fowl; joint and remove the wings, and divide them at the first joint or pinion.

No hand can be perfect when the nails are not properly attended to and well kopt. They ought to be most carefully cut with a pair of scissors made for the purpose which rounds them off at the corners. Tho skin at the baso of the nails should be pushed down with a soft towel each time the hands aro washed. Never force tho skin dawn with n knife or any sharp instrument. in-strument. If tho alxve plan is adhered to thore is no chance of "rag nails" appearing; t hoy only come when ono omits to push ! down the skin. The nails ought to pasa beyond the finger points and not be cut too short. Clean them with a piece of .fino flannel well rubted with soap. This is a far better plan than using a nail brush. After cleaning the nails and pushing down the skin they ought to be polished. This is -quite an easy matter, as the most exquisite little boxes are now sold for a few shillings containing all the necessary appliances for the toilet of the nails. Chatter. A Pretty Bab; Basket. I should like to toll how I made a very pretty baby basket at a cost of only a few cents. Procure some stiff pasteboard, cut ' two eight sided pieces as large as you want the bottom of your basket to be, cover both on one sido with pink or blue lining cambrlo and overhand thorn together neatly. If do-sired do-sired more delicate,use thin white muslin to cover the cambric. Now cut sixteen pieces to be covered in the same way for the sides, having the bottom of each piece just wide enough to fit on tho eight sided piece, and ! slanting it out toward the top to make the latter about an inch wider than the bot- ' torn. After these pieces are covered overhand over-hand them together to form a circle, sew the bottom in, add cushions and pockets to please the fancy and edge the top with i cord, plaited ribbon or lace. One can make ; the baskot as costly as she pleases, but as : described it is dainty enough for a princess, j Cor. Housewife. Woman's Mistake in Chopping. No pursuit known to the feminine world so successfully and delusively disposes of time as shopping. The experienced hus-j hus-j band and father knows that any engage ment with his family which stands at the end of a shopping day has large chances against fulfillment. Even a woman of discretion dis-cretion in other matters who has hut an hour at her disposal will plan enough errands er-rands for that time to crowd & half day. "It is 3 o'clock," says the shopper. "Two hours more, and in that time I can easily call on the dressmaker up town, make several sev-eral purchases at Bartle's and run in to look at the new etchings at the gallery, since I shall bo so near. I'll look at the book store as I come down and select a book for Susie's birthday. Then I can take a cross town car and get home in good season."
