The following story, as fold by a

been going the rounds concerning hla
earlier days:
"Occasionally ha used to come to the
reetaurant where we ate our carefully
calcinated dinners—a figure tall, Im-
maculately dir—ed, and with a fine
air. We had long admired him from
a distance, wondering who he waa,
and why such a man of such obvious
lagtortance should dine in -so modest a
plaoe.
One day after a weeks’ absence ha
came in and sat down nt the table
opposite with so grand a manner that
our curiosity overcame our courtesy.
"With a subtle gesture we called
Sadie, the waitress.
"Why.' said she, 'hie name la
Smith.’
*"Well,’ we insisted, ‘what does ho
do lor a living?’
Tm not sure,' she replied, 'but I
think be is a writer fellow. Anyway,
he never seems to have much mo nay."

Doss Veur Door Stick?
If your door oi bare 1 a drawer sticks —
d1 you know what to do to "fix' It? The
complaint man In » Hiooklyn furniture
stole said ths other day ‘'This Is a
trouble with much furniture especially
that which Is new. What do we do in
ouch c.t- s? We simply tetl the customer
to wet the surface of a bar of common
laundry soap and rub It firmlo over the
ports of the wood that stick This miikes
the surface smooth and slippery and In
nearly all cnees the drawer wll! slide
easily, especially after It has been o|iened
and shut a few times. gThla also Is ulu-
alle with doors which. In new flats, aro
likely lo settle or are apt to scrips at
the top. Just us< oonp or. them and save
the trouble -if sailing In s carpenter who
will plain ofi the varnish China cabinet
doors with c rved glam cause us a lot of
trouble .but most of the tightness can be
remedied by the use of soap snd a few
applications ,.f sand paper? The furnlt ire
man guvs i tother "helpful hint." "If
mission furniture, with ths dull finish
loses Its smoothness surface snd charac-
teristic waxy appearance." he said, “do
not despair and send It to the renovator.
Take a pound cake of common floor wax
xxd rub It over the surface until the fin-
ish Is restored. If you have no floor wax
l beeswax and If you prefer something
made especially for ths purpooe you bun
buy liquid preparations one of which will
remove the old finish, leaving the table
top or other object ready for the appli-
cation of the other substance, which will
duplicate the original finish."
Left-Overs of loop.
Almost every woman of dainty instinct
Indulges to a greater or lesa extent In per-
fumed toilet soap, the better qualities of
wtddh are always rather expensive; and
It Is the latter fact which prompts her, If
she be economically Inclined, to use each
tablet down to the very fragment. In or
der that so little as possible of ths prec-
ious substance may be wasted.
The smallest left-overs of soap may
he used by placing the hits together In
■mall bog of linen cheesecloth, and tying
securely .so that none of them can eo
cape. The bag Is used In precisely the
same way as the tablet of soap would be,
the soap oosl ng freely through the fabric
when the latter Is Immersed In water.
For the bath a soap bag Is to be pre-
ferred to the piece of ecap, being decid-
edly lees elusive and on the whole easier
to manage. The bag may be embroider
ed. If one cares to bestow the necessary
time and labor upon It, but a plain bag
of cbeeoecloth la quits as satisfactory in

Caro of Sawing M
A sewing machine must not be expect-
ed to run well unless It la kept clean and
oiled as often as necessary. Keep a soft
Juater always in one of the side drawers
and use It every time you sit down to
the machine. Sometimes It may be nec
essary to use a little brush with stiff bris-
tles to gwt Into the crevices, or a soft,
fine twine to draw between parts to got
out the dust and lint.
The matter at oiling depends altogether
upon how much the machine ts used. Do
not drench the machine with oil, but put
a drop or two In each llttlo hole deslgnat
ed for It, and nowhere else. When about
to new wipe with the duster the bottom
of the shoulder on the left-hand aide,
through which the steel bars of the pros
ser-foot and needle-slcket descend. This
Is where the oil comes from that some-
times makes unsightly spots on ths work.
When not In use keep the machine cover-
ed and the Iesther strap slipped off the
large wheel. It will last longer and
stretch less If this precaution Is taken.
If the machine stands In one of the living
rooms and there are young children In
the house, release the device which most
modern machines have at the right-hand
for connecting the driving-wheels with
the upper parts. Probably a good deal
of wear and tear will thus be avoided. And
If necessary, keep the machine locked.
Nursery Notes.
Children who stoop—It a Utti# one
shows tendency to stoop, keep him In ths
open air as much as possible, give very
nourishing food, snd let him do a few
simple physical exercises every day. If
aftei a few weeks you see no Improve-
ment. take him to a doctor, for It la al-
ways possible that stooping may be caus-
ed by some weakness ot the spine, and
the child may need special treatment.
About alck children—In giving medi-
cine rod the chHd In a blanket with the
hands well Inside; raise its head upon
your left knee and hold Ita small noas
quite gently with the left finger and
thumb. Put the spoon containing ths
medicine as far over the tongue as pos-
elUe,. and the fluid will go down. Pour
Newly, so rs not to choke the child.
Remember that the excitement which Is
nothing to an adult Is everything to a
child, that all preparations must be cot
pleted before washing or bed-making,
and that fresh air la essential to recovery
No Irritable or nervous person should
over nurse a child; it, requires endle
patience, cheerfulness snd tact, .and Is
very fatiguing work. We must encour;ige
their belief In recovery, stimulate their
extraordinary power of throwing off III
health, but at the same time It ts vary
Important to “make haste slowly" for the
spirits of the small fry are often In ad-
vance at their strength, and may lead us

How to ascertain the health of an In
fant—A child from birth to six months
of ago Should be weighed weekly, as by
this means, almost to the exclusion of all
others, we can tell how the child Is de
veloplng. During the first week there is
generally loss In weight, but by the end
of the second week the child should have
regained Ita birth weight and If there Is
a gain of less than four ounces weekly or
a stationary weight we kr.ow there Is
some fault with its nutrition, either In
quantity or quality of the milk It receives
or Its powers of assimilation.
Baby's toilet—Cleanliness Is one of the
most important factors In a child's well
being. A baby's bath le an Intereating
part of the voung mother's many duties,
and all mothers agree In thinking that
they should be bathed every day. A child
that Is bathed every day la leas likely to
take a contagious disease than one who
Is bathed less frequently. The best ttms
for the bath Is midway between ths
meals—never when he is hungry or Im-
mediately after a meal —and may be In
the forenoon or afternoon to suit the con-
venience of the mother. The room
should be warm enough to be comforta-
ble, and the water a little warmer than
new milk. Have the clean clothing and
everything you will need ready, so there
will be no delay, for the bath should bo
given quickie. Put the bathtub on s hog
or s low tab e so you can alt by It. Wnsh
hlir quickly, using a good pure soap and
a large, soft sponge. When you have fin-
ished lift him out, dry the little body
with a soft piece of old linen, and dust
any chapped, tender places with powder.
Put on clothing warm and dry. and he
will sleep In a few moments.
Overdressed children—If you have
money, dress your children well: but If
you do not wish them to be regarded with
dislike and eontempt, teach them to for-
get that they are wearing fine clothes
Carefully Impress on them that to make
comparisons between their own garments
and those of children less richly clad Is
to stamp themselves as lllbred. Girls are
worse than boys In this respect—Mother
Hubbard.
