Of crisp and rat pish fluttering*,

Tim Self-Denial of Parent*.
That parents should deny them-
selves superfluities for the sake of
their children is not in the least to
their credit; it is meet, right, and their
'dounden dutv. That they should give
their children better advantages than
•'.frey have had themselves is equally,
in the nature of things, their proper
line of conduct. Bach generation
owes to the one in advance all that it
ran bestow of preparation, of culture,
of opportunity and of privilege. The
self-denial of parents is the tribute
the race demands; it is not especially
notabbp nor particularly praiseworthy,
because it-is the appointed and ex-
pected role which is given to people
when they take upon them the obliga-
tions of parenthood.
Hut self-denial on the part of par-
ents is one tiling, and self-effacement
quite another. The plain man and
the plain woman who have scrimped
tmd stinted and saved, contrived, man-
aged, risen early and sat up late, to
ftend their sons and daughters to col-
lege, to educate them liberally, to
^ la *e then) well in the world, are not
to be set aside as * \ small account
when their children arrive at maturity.
They are wroug to allow themselves
to be pushed to the wall, set in the
background, as they sometimes are.
The mother may not know Euclid, or
have the faintest acquaintance with
the Greek poets; the music her
daughter plays may be a Chinese puz-
7,1c to her comprehension; but she
does know a whole world of science,
not necessarily in booVs, to which her
daughter can gain no clew in the
class-room since life must be the
teacher. The father may speak a less
ornate vernacular than his boj'fc
vocabulary, but he has the shrewd-
ness, the acquaintance with men.
which come only by intercourse with
one's fellows, bv joy and sorrow, and
the different phases through which
all pass who Jive long enough. it
should be no pa t of the self-denial
of parents to do without the defer-
ence, the tenderness, the regard, of
those whom they have brought up
Ouc finds it oftencr in a compara-
tively new country than in the more
conventional life of our cities, a state
of things in which parents sec in to
have been outgrown by their children.
There are farm-houses in our frontier
states where women, not yet middle-
aged, have put on gray hairs and
wrinkles, losl I've beauty and elastici-
ty of youth, years before their time,
resignedly a cpting privation and
toil and loneliness to give their girls
chance. If the girls are noble, sweet-
natured and true, they will hold the
dear mother in the greatest esteem
because of all that she has lor
Eden. The proprietress personally
attends to every detail of irrigation,
cultivation, gathering, packing and
shipping. Her success- demonstrates
what a plucky and inti ligent woman
can do when thrown on her own re-
sources.
Appetising Maudwlclic*.
Men are carrying lunches jus- now
because they can't spare the money
for a restaurant bile. S« me of the
sandwiches put up i.re not lit to eat.
Wives who are ashamed of their
ignorance may And u hint in the fol-
lowing recipes for delicate and re-
freshing sandwiched:
Buy a bottle of anchovy paste; or,
better, wa h and bone six anchovies
and work into a paste with the yelk
of u hard boiled egg, a tablespoon fill
of olive oil, a dash of paprika^ ;nd a
little soup stock or gravy; press
through a sieve and mix with a gill of
whipped cream. Keep on the ice un-
til needed. Pick some cold baked or
broiled fish and season with white
pepper and a little lemon juice. Slice
some white bread thin, trim awav the
crust, cut in squares, circles, or ob-
longs, spread with the anchovy paste
first and then with the fish.
Mayonnaise used in the same way
with halibut, striped bass, mackerel
or salmon, flavored with minced
celery or parsley, is an appetizing
mixture for sandwiches.
A paste made of mayonnaise with
half a gill of whipped cream and a
spoonful of horseradish spread on thin
slices of rye bread, with a slice of cold
tongue or mutton.
Men are fond of roast beef sand-
wiches, but it takes a chef to carve
( the meat properly. The average
j woman will d« well to operate witlr
something easier.
A sandw eh should never be over-
buttered so that it will cake and gel
dislodged when the slices are pulled
a: art. Spread very lightly, and it
necessary melt the butter. It will be
found economical and convenient to
butter the loaf, leaving the crust line
to be trimmed. Young people are very
fond of sweet sandwiches, and to quote
the children, stewed plums stoned are
"awful good." Naked pears or boiled
quinces sliced, and halves of cooked
or raw peaches with sugar and a few
drops of cream, go very well with
white bread and butter. Table sand-
wiches made with apple sauce,
whipped with cream and flavored with
vanilla, are nice for lunch or supper.
Two Kitchen Tables.
It was with two unpainted, pine
kitchen tables that one woman ac-
complished wonders in a decorative
line. They were not expensive—$1.25
covered her expenditure for them.
Another 81.25 paid for two long, fancy
brass screws and four brass handles
Antl white enamel paint was cheap.
On the back of the table she firmly
nailed two strong wooden bars, far
enough apart to allow her to screw
between them a mirror. Then she
painted the table and the sticks,
screwed in an old mirror with a gay,
white wood frame, b,r xseans of her
brass screws, put brass handles on th^
drawers, and proudly stated that she
did not envy Loafci Qui^te his chamber
adoruuieats
The other table was also treated to
a coat or two of white paint and was
placed against the wall just beneath
a set of home-made white book
shelves. An obliging carpenter made
a small set of pigeon-holes to fit on
the hack of the table beneath the
books and this was also painted white.
A big white blotter in a red leather
case, a red penholder, red note books,
red photographic frame, red-covered
hand blotter and a big china ink-well,
painted red l> the clever woman's
own hand made the desk as dainty
and attractive as possible.
To Mend Tortoise Shell.
Two broken pieces of tortoise shell
can be fixed together by tiling the
edge down with a rasp till each
piece has an edge like a chisel. These
two edges are then made to overlap
one another, and after softening in
boiling water are tightly held togethei
in a clamp or vise. Tb ucating must
be very carefully done, so as to avoid

Children'* llair.
The hair of children should never be
shingled, says an authority, referring
to the to-and-fro motion of the shears
used by barbers in cutting hair, "as
that tears and hardens the hair. The
hair of children, whether they be boyg
or girls, should be kept short until
the seventh or eighth year, as the
growing hair is a drain upon the nu-
trition of the body, and at this time
of life all the nutritive forces should
be expended in the growth of muselc
and bone. The hair of a girl, aftei
she has reached her eighth year,
should be allowed to grow, as the les>

country is in a transition state.
The past five years have witnessed

the probability of the, early opening
of all of the remaining Indian lands
in the Indian terrtiory lying west of
the reservations of the five civilized
tribes has stimulated railroad enter-
prise in that section. Already two
companies have been organized under

gion, as their roads lie parallel.
These roads are the Kansas, Oklaho-
ma Center Southwestern, and the
St. Louis, Oklahoma fc Albuqurque.
In addition to these roads is the Kan-
sas City, Oklahoma & Pacific whose
