Many young ladies who bave an alâ€" most unlimited supply of pin money, are making and laundering their own handkerchiefs, and those who must economize, can save a considerable sum every year by following their example. India linen, cambric, mull and wash silk are a few of the materials used for handkerchiefs, and the style of finish is so varied that any taste may ue suited. There are the plain, hemâ€" stitched ones without any ornament except a monogram or initial embroiâ€" dered in one corner with white emâ€" broidery cotton or silk. Those having an edge of valenciennes lace, real or imitation according to the size of the purse, put on around the narrow hemâ€" stitched bem and a scroll or monoâ€" gram in one corner are very handsome. White handkerchiefs may be scalded a few minutes if thought necessary, Very little starch should be used gor these articlesâ€"just enough to give them the appearance of new goods. Iron while quite damp, pressing the embroidery on the wrong side, and the remainder on the right; or it is a better plan to take them from the starch and press them smoothly on a clean marbie slab or a window pane to dry putting the wrong side next to the glass. o It is very bard work and full of danâ€" ger, for the hunier must cling to the crumbling sides of the steep rocks, with the waves of ihe angry Atlantic roaring beneath him, and the least misstep would send him into the deep waters far below him, perhaps to drown. Some have white centers with deliâ€" cately tinted borders in cream color, ecru, lavender, pink, and blue, and with these the monogram is usually worked with embroidery silk of the same shade as the border. : Mpask. When they are dry, take them off and fold nicely. They will not need ironing. This is a very convenient plan when one is boarding and cannot get a hot iron whenever she wishes it. Do not put your bhandkerchiefs in with the regular wasbhing, for the treatment they are likely to receiy discolors white hbhandkerchiefs, and fades colored ones. Fill a wash bowl half full of warm, soft water, dissolve a little borax in it and use enough soap to make a foamy suds. Rub them gently and squeeze in the bands until every trace of soil is removed, then rinse in clear cold water that bhas a little bluing in it. o n ind EGG HUNTING. On the lonely little island of St. Kilda, some 120 miles from the coast of Scotland, there is a race of people who live by sea fishing and hunting for the eggs of the wild sea birds which build their nests on the sides of the steep rocks that overhang the dcean, sometimes, too, snaring the birds. For safety the St. Kildaus hunt in pairs, one having tJed about his waist TO KEEP THE HAIR IN CURL. I‘ll tell you a secret, said the girl, and it is one that is worth while. It is a discovery I mads myself, and is really worth knowing. You know how bard it is to keep your hbair in curl in summer and how it will get stringy and sticky in spiie of everything. You cannot give your bead a thorough shampoo too ofien. for that ruins the hair, besides making it unmanageable,. Still, you must bave the bair around your face fluffy. Well, this is what I do. I do my hair in curl papers. 1 do not like to, but that is the best way, I find, and the quickest. Well, when I put my bair up at night 1 just disâ€" solve a little borax in the water, wet the hair that I am going to put up, taking care not to have it too wet, and the resuit is light, dry, fluffiâ€" ness that will warrant the curl will stay in longer than by any other method. Just try it and see if you do not think so. a strong rope, the other end of which is beld by bhis partner on the cliffs above. Sometimes he hangs by this rope alone to get at a nest, where there is no place to rest his feet. Around his head flap the wild fowls of the sea, shrieking and trying to drive him away, and he must be a man of strong nerve and muscle not to lose his life in this work +t# â€"Fntâ€"&:â€"A*â€"*+â€"*â€"4â€"*%â€"* ( Young Folks. } There are only 70 people Iiving on this island, and it is so far away that only one boat stops there in a year, but they seem to live very bhappily, and divide equally all the eggs and birds and fish that they catch. A BOOK‘s DESIRES. " Please don‘t handle me with dirty hands, or leave me out in the rain. Books catch cold as well as children. " Or lean on me. with your elbows when you are reading me, It hurts. " Or open me and lay my face down on the table. You wouldn‘t like that. " Or make marks on me with your pen or pencil. It wouid spoil my looks. "Or put in between my leaves a pencil or anything thicker than a sinâ€" gle sheet of thin paper. It would strain my back. " Whenever you are through readâ€" ing me, if you are afraid of losing your place, don‘t turn down «he corâ€" ner of one of my leaves, but have a neat little bookmark to put in where you stopped, and then close me and lay me dowt on my side, so that 1 can have a good, comfortable rest. " Help me to keep fresh and clean, and I will help you to be happy." Lead pencils are made altogether by machinery. The best quality of cedar is cut into proper lengths, shaped the exact size of the pencil. then split and grooved to admit the lead.

The Irish wit contains almost alâ€" _ ways the element of the unexpected, and it is this that keeps. us from tirâ€" ‘ing of the many examples of it that lwe hear. An lrish cook in a neighâ€" | bor‘s family is blessed with more avoirâ€" | dupois than she enjoys, and the losâ€" \ ing of a few pounds is a rare andjoyâ€" ful occasion with her. This year when | Mr. Jackson‘s sister came to make | her annual visit to her brother, she | was told that Norah had lost seven ‘ pounds and that congratulations were in order,. So the first time she saw the cook, after greetings and compliâ€" | ments had been exchanged, she said : |"How thin you‘ve grown, Norah !" _ "Do you think so?"‘ said Norah, a smile on her broad face. "A matter | of seven pounds." _ hok $ Wds t is ground by machinery, and, with a little mixture of glue, or some other substance to render it strongly adheâ€" sive, is molded into the shape requirâ€" ed. It is then placed in the grooves, already prepared, while a special deâ€" vice spreads glue over its surface and that of the wood, presses the two halves together, and thus completes the penâ€" cil, which is then passed on to be paintâ€" ed or varnished, dried and packed. The solored pencils are made of ochre, colâ€" ored chalk. or other materials. ALPINE HERDSWOMEN. Long before the days of bloomers woâ€" men on the higher level of the Alps wore trousers, and no one thought anyâ€" thing about it. Alpine women wear the bifurcated garment for utility and not for beauty, as one may judge it he or she has seen one of those girls. Comeliness and the Alpine herdswoâ€" men are far apart, but the style of the garments they wear and the hard life that is theirs are at the root of the trouble. The women have little of the grace and agility: seen in the maidens of Norway. They will leap across chasms with nonchalance, but there is nothâ€" ing wild and free about their move ments. While she is talking to you the Alpine herdswoman is quite apt to thrust out an ungainly leg, plant a heavy boot on the neck of a goat and stand thus while she converses. The expression " just my luck," is a favorite one with many boys and girls 2 sgtx *y 3 _ It may be well for them to memorâ€" ize the following proverbs:â€" _ _ Luck lies in bed and wishes the postâ€" man would bring him news of aâ€"legâ€" acy. _ C eday 7 With the exception of the blacks who endure a life of hunger in the interior of Africa, there is hardly anyâ€" one in the world who fares so badly as the herdsmen and bherdswomen of Switzerland. They cannot afford to drink the milk supplied by their flocks. Their fare is meat that has been dried, salted and turned into unsavory leaâ€" ther, rye bread that is like blackened cinders and cabbage stalks in pickle, that contain about as much nutmiâ€" ment as a walking stick. Hungry as the herdswoman may be on her reâ€" turn home, she must eat but sparingâ€" ingly of these dainties, for fear they should come to an end before another trip to the valley can be made. _ Labor turns out at six o‘clock, and with a busy pen or ringing bhammer, lays the foundation of competence. These women breakfast at 2 in the morning and then answer in reâ€" sponse to the cattle howling at the door of the chalet, begging to be atâ€" tended to and driven up to some favâ€" orite Alp. They eat again some twelve or fourteen hours later, when the weary tramp back to the chalet is Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something. . _Luck is waiting for something to furn up. : ‘:~>> 5 to begin. Between times. with sickles, they reap, the long, coarse Alpine grasses, which are to serve as food for the cattle during the winter. "How did you do it ?" said Miss Jackâ€" son, duly impressed. "Have you been dieting ?" ‘"What‘s dieting ?" asked Norah. ‘"Dieting? Why dieting is eating certain things and going without cerâ€" tain things. Some people when they wish to grow thin eat no sugar," exâ€" plained Miss Jackson. _ : t3 _ "Ob," said the kindâ€"hearted sou!l, "Gus, he feels bad about a girl he left up in the country. He liked ber very much and as soon as he left, she marâ€" ried another man." *"Poor boy," said Mrs. Jackson. ‘"You needn‘t be worrying," said Norabh. "I saw he was feeling ill and ave him some warm milk and he‘ll g. all right now." One day Mrs. Jackson noticed that August, the coachman, was much deâ€" pressed. He was a bright, young felâ€" low that she had brought in from the country, and not understanding his sudden loss of interest in life, she sougbht information from Norah. . "Cook, what is the matter with Auâ€" guast 1: > y No e y m 3 "That‘s it," said Norah, "that‘s it. I used always to be drinking tea and two big lumps of sugar I put in every cup and now I never touch tea and only take one lump of sugar to the cup." TORONTO DON‘T WAIT FOR LUCK. There is something peculiarly patheâ€" iic in the few mute relics of the great Napoleon, who was, within the memâ€" ory of the living, the lord and the scourage of Europe. The most interesting of these meimnmâ€" orials is the cradle in which the Emâ€" perorâ€"toâ€"be lay as an infant in his simple nursery in Ajaccio, while his future conquerer, the Duke of Wellâ€" ington, was being rocked in a similar crade in the nursery of Dangan Castle, in farâ€"away Ireland. In these two cradles, so simple and innocent in apâ€" pearance, what â€" terrible potentialiâ€" ties were nursed! Napoleon‘s cradle now occupies a corner of the drawing room of Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger, New York. It is of dark wood, very plain, free from ornament, and it was bought by its present owner at an auction sale iz Paris. RELICS OF GREAT PEOPLE Trappings of Unhappy Q@ueens, Whose High State Led Only to Bitterness and A few months ago a lock of Napoleâ€" on‘s hair was sold at auction for $25, It was given by Napoleon during his exile to Captain Poppleton, his "perâ€" manent orderly," and by him given to a Mrs. Lothaux. Captain Poppleton, in his letter accompanying the lock of hair, wrote: "Inclosed is what I proâ€" mised you. It is small, but precious. I bhave little left." sOUVENIR OF NAPOLEON‘S FOLLY. Another most interesting relic of Napoleon is the very sleigh in which he escaped from Russia, when he left behind bim a trail of half a million frozen corpses, the victims of his failâ€" ure and folly. The sleigh has been in the possession of a Chicagotamily for over half a century, and its genuineâ€" ness is attested by a parchment cerâ€" tificate, dated April 7, 1816, and signâ€" ed by one of Bonaparte‘s family, ‘The sleigh itself is full of elaborate ornaâ€" ment. One of the mostâ€"prized memorials of Mary Queen of Scots is a pane of glass from an old hall at Buxton, on which the unhappy Queen had seratched these lines wihh a diamond: "Buxton, farewell!l No more perhaps my 1 feet !Thy famous tepid streams shall ever greet," On another pane of glass in one of the windows of a moated house near Win _fi 1i Manor, Aliretcn, where Mary was a prisoner, she had traced these lines in French: ‘"‘Though bappy in thee Unbhappy am 1," When Mary Queen of Scots left France and with it happiness and security, she carried with her one of the thorns said to have been taken from Christ‘s crown of thorns. This sacred relic she always carried close to her beart, and, after hor execution, it was still found lying on her heart when it was still. IN THE HANDS OF ANTIQUARIES ALL OVER THE WORLD. There are few more pathetic Napoleâ€" onic relies than the piano which Napoleâ€" on himsel{ presented to his wife, the illâ€"{ated Josephine, and which has found a resting place in London. _ It was made in 1808, when Napoleon was at the highest of bis conquering carâ€" eer, and was stolen at the sacking of the Tuileries, _ The piano is of roseâ€" wood, with ormolu decoration; and has keys of tortoise shell and mothcorâ€"ofâ€" pearl. It has also a curious attachâ€" ment of a triangle and drum, worked by a pedal. PRINCE CHARLIE‘S CANE. The Queen counts among her treasâ€" ures a memorial of Prince Charlie in the form of a favorite walking stick, for which she paid £160. _ The stick, which was found in his bedroom bas a handle of which two bheads are carved, one of Wisdom and the other of Folly, exorbitant. Perhaps the most pathetic of all relies is the wedding dress in which that most unbappy of Queens, Marie Antoinette, appeared at the altar in all the wildâ€"rose freshness of her girlâ€" ish beauty. _ This memorial of a tragic marriage may now be seen, stained and faded by time, in the chuarch of Kennâ€" weg, near Vienna, where the young Austrian Princess was born. Curious Phase of Daiiy Life Among the Poor of Tokio, One of the bills introduced in the Japanese house of representatives illustrates a curious phase of everyâ€" day life among the lower orders of Tokio. The pawnbrokers‘ law now in force forbids a pawnbroker to levy a higher interest than 1 sen per month for a loan not exceeding 20 sen. Thus a pawnbroker may obtain 12 sen a year for a loan of 25 sen; or he may even obtain 12 sen a year for a loan of 12 sen. Such charges seem high enough, in ali conscience. _ Nevertheâ€" less, the bill to which we allude deâ€" nounces the restrictions of the present law as unduly limiting the pawnbrokâ€" ers gains, and consequently tending to prevent the people obtaining useful accommodation. Many folks, men and women, who subsist by manual labor in Tokio, find themselves constantly without suffiâ€" cient funds to buy their dinner. They can pay for their breakfast, but money to get a dinner is wanting. It is their habit, then, to put some of their cooking utensils in ‘pawn. thus obâ€" taining means to pay for their dinner and, when th:ireooi.ve their day‘s wage in the ev@hing, they are able to redeem the pledged articles, and also to procure their supper that night and their breakfast and bath the following morning. The pawnbroker, therefore, has to perform thirty transactions monthly in the nature of taking pledges and paying and receiving money. The sum involved each day is very small, and the interest as we have seen, may be anything from 100 to 48 per cent, but, on the other hand, a charge of 1 sen per mensem for such troublesome services is certainly not PAWNBROKERS IN JAPAN.
