Flat -irons will not yellow linen if they are first rubbed on a cloth satur• ated with kerosene.. Butter put into clean pots and well surrounded with charcoal will keep good for twelve months. All traces of mud can easily be re- moved from black clothes by rubbing the spots with a raw potato cut in half. In baking bread or rolls put a saucepan of boiling water- into the oven. The steam will keep the crust smooth and tender.

Some parents'coiupel their children to eat against their will, as when they come to the breakfast table without an appetite or have lost it in prospect of' a visit or a ride, or for the sake of "eating their plates clean" in discour- agement of wasteful habits. Unless we are thirsty we cannot drink the purest water without aversion, and, as for eating when there is no appe- tite, it is revolting, as any one may prove to himself by attempting to take a second meal in twenty minutes after having eaten a regular dinner. • The appetite, the hunger, is excited by the presence of gastric juice about the stomach, but if there is no gastric juice there can be no hunger, no ap- petite, and to compel a child' to swal- low food when it is distateful is an absurdity and a cruelty. bathtub, tl A sea salt bath, followed by an foil rub," is an excellent daily habit for delicate women who need vital - big. Sea salt may be bought in three or five pound boxes at a druggist's, and a half cupful dissolved in boiling water and added to a basin of luke- warm water is enough for a sponge *r, bath. The best way to take it is to std ari in e, alld,after sponging one's self from head to foot, pour the remaining water over the chest and shoulders. To be entirely satisfactory the oil must be applied by another person. Cocoanut oil is best and cheapest for the purpose, and it should be rubbed into the slain till no trace remains on the surface. It is most beneficial to have the bath and the oil rub just before going to bed, and in any case tile• patient should rest in a reclining position for " at least half an hour after receiving • the treatment.

They find Stranger roans in Varly Days Than Are Now Mantrestoti.--stolen'Nuod Mortised Into Lite Keel to hake the Vee- eel Sail vaster, Lieut. J, D. Jerrold Kelley gives an in - Westing chapter of "Superstttions of the Sea" la the July nintiber of the Century. After studying theta tairly well, he doubts if modern sailors are more superstitious than any other chess wise equal training and opportunities. I believe that every- body la leavened with superstition, he says, notably the noisiest seeders, and those mountebanks, tl,e Thirteen Chubs, for these gentry protest too much. It seems to he a human hIletii t modified by racial inheritauces ante developments. In the youth of the world its manifesta- tions were the earliest recorded utterances of men concerning the visible phenomena ot the universe, and he grip on simple words was an outgrowth of the fear of the unknown. Of all people, sailors wrist deal at first hand, and helplessly to some degree, with the most unknowable, uncon- trolleble of material problems, the sea, and it is only natural that their folk -lore should be, in part, land stories fitted with sea meanings, and in part blind explana- tions of sea phenoniena,—both beiug main- tained valorously by the gruesome con- servetistn of the seaman, even after rational causes come t) the rescue.. In earlier clays superstition was as much a part of every ship as the water she was to float in; for it entered with the wood scarfed into her keel, and climbed to the lags and garlands waving at her mast. heads; it rash riotously at her launching, coutrclled her name, her crew, and car- goes; it timed her days and boors of sail- ing, and conveyed her voyages. It sum- moned apparitions for her ill -fortune, and evoked portents and signs for her pros- perity ; it made winds blow foul or fair, governed her eneoessfal ventures and ar- rivals, and, when her work was done, promised a port of rest somewhere off the shores of Fiddler's Green, where an good sailors rest eternally, or threatened foul moorings deep in the uuoanny locker of Davy Jones of ballad memory, In many countries stolen wood was mor- tised into the keel, as it made the ship sail faster at night; though if the first blow struck in fashioning this keel drew rite, the ship was duonee to ;creek neon Ler maiden voyage. Silver (usually a coin) placed in the niaiulnaststep went for Tacky ventures. and misguided indeed was the orales who perilhitte.( any of rhe unlucky timbers to enter into the construction. Something ot the ceremonious character given to launchings survives to this clay; whereas Old ships were decked with flowers and crowns of leaves, flags now flutter; the libation poured on the deck, the purification by the priest, the anointing with egg and sulphur. find their exemplars in the well - aimed and wasted magnums which etre shattered on the receding cut•water as the Draft, released from the ways, slips. well - greased, into the sea; the jar of wine put to itis lips by the captain, and theu emptied on deck, the cakes and ale set before the crew, the stoup ot wine offered to passers. by on the quay*, and the refusal of which was an evil omen—all are realized its these sadder lustrutns by the builder's feast in the mold -loft. Lawyer.. clergymen and women are ever 1001131 at with disfavor ou sailing -ships as sure to bring ill-luck—lawyers, undoubted- ly, from the antipathy of sailors to the class, a dislike so pronounced that "sea - lawyer" 18 0 very bitter term of reproach, and "land -shark" is 0 synonym. Clergy- men—priests and parsons—arc unlucky, probably because of their Week gowns and their principal Slaty ou shipboard—that of consoling the dying and burying the dead, —theugh possibly because the devil. the great storm -raiser, is their special enemy, and sends tempests to destroy them. Wo- men—who may reason ont their nnpupu- larity?—save that a shii, is the last place for them, or perhaps because of the dread of witches; for of all spell --workers in human form nene is so dreaded as the female brewers of hell -broth. Like the priests of the middle ages, they can raise it prime quality of storm by tossing sand or stones in the air, and, like Congreve's Lapland sorceress, are sipliosed to live by selling contrary winds and wrecked vessels. Certain families could never get ass ern• ployment wader their own surnames, not even such members as were born with cauls, for they were tabooed, barred; and many animals—hares, pigs and black cats for exalYlnle—CenlCi neither be, curried nor mentioned on shipboard, save under very stringent conditions. Searborongh wivds kept a black cit in the helve* to assure their Itusbandis' lives at see; but on voy- ages every ,.luck oat earried a gale in .her tail, and if she became unusually frolic- some a storm was .sure to follow, Years ago, on board the flagship ,Franklin, up the Mediterranean, we had a yarn that il- lustrated tt survival of this antipathy to certain forms of animal life. Two old gtharterinasters were heard during the motniug watch exchanging in the cockpit dismal experiences of their dream's the might before. One was particularly har- rowing, for the narrator wound up with, "And I tiny, Bill, I was never so afeered in toy life; when I woke up It seemed as true as day, and I was all of a tremble like pin ase) on et leaf," "What's that?" said the other. "Pipe dote; don't mention that reptile; he's it hoodoo oft •shipboard."

Kipling Doing Good 'Wont. Rndyard Kipling continues to nour out ballads and short stories. He lifts four books in the press now. I with many others have modified my views of hien within three years, for within that time he has done his best work, which has in it a promise of something really like genius. .At all events, what be sloes is masculine— much of it jolly brutal, as if he revelled in an excess of gender—and whatever his failings no one can accuse hien of exhibit- ing any effetninncy in his work. Probably the very best evidence of his large, over- weening sex in writing is the fact that women do not care for him. They cannot read him without shrinking a little at his fresh and riotous candor. But I think this very quality is a capital answer to the laments of the Sarah. Grande and the Devereux Brakes that', our men are all writing down to the desires of weak girls. It is a comfort to think that somebody esti write so that weak girls'rvill not read. lir. Kipling retains in whatever he does the smell of the barracks.
