HASHING Did Vole Ever Know a Woman 'Who Liked the Job? There are few kitchen maids who under- stand how to wash dishee properly. In- deed, there are few kitchens where all the -utensils are provided so that dishes can be washed by the best methods. Houses pos- sessing the best sets of Dresden china often have no knifeboard and no kitchen rack on which to drain the china and porcelain or glass after it is washed, says a writer in the New York Tribune. Where the dining. room china, is washed in the butler's pantry it is often found that one dish pan does the work of two ; or that there is an insuffi- cient supply of the proper towels for wiping and washing. There shoullalways be two dish pans, one to contain hot suds in which the dishes are washed, and the other clear, hot water in which they are rinsed. A "soap -saver," a convenient little in- strument made of open wire, in which the soap is placed and shaken about in hot water to produce suds, will help to use up small pieces of soap and prevent the soap being left soaking in the water, as It too frequently is by careless maids, If the water supplied to the house is hard a bottle' of household ammonia is almost a necessity. A few drops will soften the water so that suds can be easily produced. A rack for draining dishes is a convenient and useful addition to the butler's pantry or to the kitchen sink, wherever the dishes are washed. This is an open layer of slats laid over a shelfsloping to the sink. The dishes, after they are washed, are laid on this rack, boiling water is poured over them, and they are left to drain, or they are lifted from the rinsing water on to this rack. This almost does away with the necessity of wiping them, as they will be found to be nearly dry when lifted from •the rack, though it is wisest to go over them with a son absorbent cloth. It pays • to get an English knife -board of the kind which are covered with channels leather and bound with rubber. If you are provided with powdered bath brick or sandsoap which collies for polishing knives, there will be no trouble in keeping the knives sharp and clean with very little labor. • Shun This Girl. She is the girl who takes you off in one corner and tells you things that you wouldn't repeat toyour mother. She is the girl who is anxious to have you join a party which is to be " a dead secret"; and at which, because people are very free and easy, yoa are uncomfortable and wish you were at home. She is the girl who tries to induce you "just for fun," to smoke a cigarette, or to take a glass of wine, and you don't know, and possibly she doesn't that many of the sinners of to -day committed their first sins "just for fun." She is the girl who persuades you that to stay at homo and care and love your own, to help mother and to have your pleasures at home and where the home people can see them, is stupid and tiresome; and that spending the afternoon 'walking up and down the street, looking at the windows and the people, is "just delightful." She is the girl who persuades you that slang is witty, that a loud dress that attracts attention is "stylish,"andthatyour own simple gowns are dowdy and undesir- able. She doesn't know'nor do you, how many women have gone to destruction be- cause of their love for fine clothes. She is the girl who persuades you that to be on very familiar terms with three 'Or four •young men is an evidence of your charms and fascination, instead of being, as it is, an outward visible sign of your perfect folly. She is the girl who persuades you that it is a very smart thing to be referred to as "a gay girl." She is very, very much mistaken. And, of all others, she is the girl who, no matter how hard she may try to ina,ke you believe in her, is to be avoided.—Buth Ash- more, in the Ladies' Home Journal. • Is Old Sol Blue? Opinions differ on this subject. Prof. Langley, a distinguished American astrono- mer, having studied solar radiation and made numerous observations, came to the conclusion that the pristine or extra- terrestrial sunlight, is bluish, or, in other words, that the sun, if seen beyond the ab- sorptive atmosphere of the earth, would appear blue. On the other hand, Capt. Abney, another scientific authority on the question, has arrived at quite a different result to that of Prof. Langley, showing that sunlight is white. • The principle was illustrated by a fine experi- ment which Capt. Abney called an artificial sunset. Through a solution of hyposulphite of soda a clear circle of electric light was thrown on the screen and the image was like the sun at noon. Then a few drops of hydrochloric acid were added to the solu- tion. This *produced a turbid mixture, and, as the turbidity or muddiness increased, first the violet, then the blue, the green and the yellow rays were successively cut off, the image varying with every gradation, until finally there was the dull red of the sun setting in a wintry or smoky sky.

Undertaking, Tito St. Clair tunnel has been constructed under the river of that name, at the foot of Lake Huron, for the purpose of superseding the ferry boats which have hitherto con- veyed the trains of the Omani Trunk route across that river. It will afford immense advantages to passengers and for freight traffic, in avoiding the. inconveniences of ferry, iu savin,„e. two hours of time and in shortening the distance by about six miles. The actual tunnel itself under the river is 6,026 feet long. It is lined throughout with solid cast-iron plates, bolted together in segments—each segment being five feet long, eighteen incites wide and two inches thick, with flanges five inches deep ; the whole lining weighing 28,000 tons. The bolts and nets for connecting the segments together weigh 2,000,000 pounds. The permanent way through the tunnel is laid with steel rails, weighing one hundred pounds to the lineal yard. The interior diameter of the tunnel is twenty feet, and ample means have been provided. for thorough ventilation, and for lighting it throughout when required by the electric light. The road is practically level -under the river, with approaches at each end on gradients of 1 in 50. The total length of the tunnel and approaches is 11,553 feet. At the ends of the approaches are junctions with the Grand Trunk Railway on the Cauadian side, and the Chieago and Grand Trunk Railway on the American side of the river. In, connection with these junctions ample ground has been levelled and pre- pared, and shunting sidings to the extent of ten miles have already been laid on each side of the river. The tunnel was constructed by means of heavy wrought iron shields, with sharp edges, 15,:feet 3 inches long, and 21 feet 6 inches in diameter. Each shield was pushed forward by 24 hydraulic rams, the barrel of each ram being 8 inches in diameter, with a stroke of little moro than 18 inches. Each ram exercised a force of 125 tons. It is believed that the route as thus im- proved will offer facilities for through com- munication between Chicago and all points in the east, which will be appreciated by passengers and freighters. There will be no more trouble from ice -blocks or other obstructions in the river, and the best time will be made for traffic of all descriptions. From the date when the shields were first lowered in position at the portals, to the , meeting of the shields in the ttuanel, the time occupied in constructing the tunnel was twelve months. The cost of the tunnel proper was $1,460,000. Bits of Advice to Girls. AVOID A loud, weak, affected whining,' harsh or shrill tone of voice. Extravagances in conversation—such phrases as " awfully this," "beastly that," "loads of time," "don't you know," hate " for "dislike," etc. Sudden exclamations of annoyance, sur- prise and joy, such as "bother!" gracious ! how jolly !" Yawning when listening to any one. Attempting any vocal or instrumental piece of music you cannot execute with ease. ' Crossing your letters. Making a short, sharp nod with the head intended to do duty as a bow. OPLTIVATE. An unaffected, low, distinct, silver -toned voice.

The High JlisIliig Craze. , A report from New York city states that a scheme is on foot there to put up a twenty -story building of "solid steel" for a casing, with walls of stone and terra cotta. Above the building will rise a six -story tower the summit of which will be 550 above the street. The lot on which this tower of Babel is to be constructed is on the west side of Broadway opposite Bowling Green. It is 163 -feet front by 200 feet deep. Some idea of the height of the building can be obtained from . the statement that if the Potter building was put on top of the Pul- itzer building's dome, and a six -story struc- ture on top of that, the whole would not reach the crown of the proposed building. The estimated cost is $4,000,000. The pro- jectors will have to hurry up, or they will find a law iu existence limiting the height of buildings in cities. Even fire -proof struc- tures, however solidly built, lave their perils. An earthquake, for instance, is not impossible even in New York. He Hadn't Taker' Anything.

But facts are facts, so let us to them : Martin Engel lives! in New York and glories in local,politics. He is champion of Dollar Smith. In a bar -room brawl on the night of June 18th Engel was put through the mill of pugilistic adversity. He was laid out, keel -hauled, skinned alive. Tae boric of his nose was so badly shattered as te make that useful and ornamental organ both useless and hideous, and both of his jawbones were broken in several places. His cheek bones were also broken. In short, Engel's face was withont shape. At Bellevue Hospital this "beautiful case" was turned over to Dr, Kelly, who at once began to work on the patient. He made Engel a new nose, the internal part of which is artificial, but the external part of which is of flesh and skin taken from other parts of the.patient's body. The new nose is of a decidedly flat or Mongolian caste, whereas the old nose was conspicuously aquiline ; but Engel does not mind that. While the nose was being formed work was also being done on the brokea cheek and jaw bones, and they were Soon brought into shape. In mending his jaw bones, however, it was necessary to give Engel's face a much rounder form than it previously had, and the work on the cheek bones had the effect of drawing down the corner of the eyes in a way foreign to their original appearance. When the work was done, however, it was pronounced web done for Engel's face though changed was not badly disfigured. In fact, the chief disfigurbment was a gash in the upper lip, and that was carefully concealed by giving a new turn to his luxuriant mustache. Engel is now attending to his business, but even his best friends don't know him. Blockheads for Sale. When Lord Thurlow first opened a lawyer's office in London he took a base- ment room, which had previously been, occupied by a cobbler. He was somewhat annoyed by the previous occupant's callers, and annoyed bed the fact that he had few of his own. One day an Irishman en- tered. "The cobbler's gone, 1 see," he said. "1 should think he had," tartly respond- ed the lawyer. ," And what do you sell ?" inquired the Irishman, looking' at the solitary table and a few law books. "Blockheads," responded Thurlow.

Where it is Produced Arid How it is Prepared for Market. The British Consul at Bussorah, in an interesting report on the growth of the liquorice plant on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates, says that these greet rivers in the part where the root is found flow through flat, treeless prairies of unculti- vated and nearly uninhabited land. For three months of the year hot winds blow, and the temperature reaches 104. For six months the climate is moderate and salubrious, and for three months bleak and wintry, the thermometer going down to 30 at night. The liquorice plant is is small shrub, with light foliage, growing to about three feet high, where its root can reach the water. It grows without any cultivation. No lands aro leased for the purpose, and no objection is made to its being cultivated. It is found in abundance from Ctesiplion, ten miles from Bagdad, down to Kut-ul-Anara, half way between Bussorah and Bagdad. It grows on red earth soil, and also on light, almost sandy, soil, where the wood is best, provided it has plenty of water, and the ground is not more than fifty yards from the actual river or stream. Only one firm works it in Bagdad, and it is well known that the business is a prosperous one. The wood, after being once dug up and cut, grows again better afterward. The time of collecting is, generally speaking, during the winter, but it is possible all the year round. The TOOt when dug is full of water, and must be allowed to dry, a process which takes the best part of a year, especially in hot weather. It is then sawed or cut ioto smell pieces six inches to a foot long. The good and sound pieces are kept, and the rotten ones are used for fire -wood. It is then shipped in native river boats to 13ussorah, whence it is shipped in pressed bales to London, and again from there to America, where it is used largely in the manufacture of tobacco. The consul thinks the trade is capable of expansion. The de- mand in America ia great, and shipments are easilydisposed of. After sorting there still remains some useless wood in the bales, perhaps 7 per cent. From figures supplied by the Bagdad firm engaged in the busi- ness, it seems that the total net cost of a ton of liquorice root laid down in London is about £4. No frost in Manitoba last night. Import Facts „I Please Read Them We respectfully ask your careful attention to this statement, brief but important, and which we will divide into three parts, vis: I, THE SITUATION; 2, THE NECES- SITY; 3 THE REMEDY. 1st. The Situation Health depends upon the state of the blood. The blood conveys every element which goes to make up all the organs of the body, and it carries away all waste or dissolved and useless material. Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue lives upon what the blood feeds to it. Moreover, every beating of the heart, every drawing of the breath, every thought flashing through the brain, needs a supply of pure blood, to be done rightly and well. 2d. The Necessity ,The human race as a whole is in great need of a goodblood purifier. There are about zecio disorders incident to the human frame, the large majority arising from the impure or poisonous condition of the blood. Very few in- dividuals enjoy perfect health, and fewer still have perfectly pure blood. Scrofula, a disease as old as antiquity, has been inherited by generation after generation, and manifests itself today virulent and virtually unchanged from its ancient forms. If we are so fortu- nate as to eacape hereditary impurities in the blood, we may contract disease from germs in the air we breathe, the food we eat, or the water we drink. 3d. The Remedy In Hood's Sarsaparilla is found the medicine for all blood diseases. Its remarkable cures are its loudest praise. No remedy has ever had so great site- cess, no medicine was ever accorded so great public patronage. Scrofula in its severest forms has yielded to its potent powers, blood poisoning and salt rheutn and many other diseases have been permanently cured by it.

The 'Uncomfortable Situation Which a Toronto Mau is Placed. The little grocery store on the corner of Anderson and William streets was the scene of an incident Thursday night, which has put the proprietor in a very uncomfortable posi- tion, and one which he would willingly resign to someone else. Early in the even- ing a woman carrying a baby bundled up walked into the store, deposited the armful on the counter and left. Mr. Johnston made a frantic endeavor to get the mother to take her baby away, but it was 1131811C- cessful. She said she thought 'he should be proud to be given a chance to support his own child, but the irate sitorekeeper denied, in vehement terms, the paternity of the infant.
