Commonly hoarfrost Is described as being frozen moisture, but this is not an adequate description of an agent that has the power of adorning in a few hours such prosaic objects as gate posts and dustbins with all the trap pings of fairyland. Moisture is Indeed the fabric out of which all this feath ery whiteness is built up; but, although It seems sometimes as if It is disturbed in a very capricious manner, there are nevertheless certain definite circum stances which cause the hoarfrost to settle down on some surfaces rather than others. On any cold and frosty morning it will usually be found that those surfaces that are the best radi ators of heat are also those that are the most successful in collecting hoar frost. It is not always realized, how ever, that all objects are continually radiating heat, so that, no matter how much they may receive from the sun, they are constantly trying to get rid of It. A fern leaf or a stone may perhaps receive generous supplies of heat dur Ing the day, but as soon as night comes It hurries to spend or radiate it, and the object that is quickest at this work will soon become covered. in hoarfrost. Every one has observed how the mois ture from the air will settle on the out ide of a glass of cold water brought suddenly into a warm room. A simn ilar process takes place In the open air, so that as the currents of moist air travel across surfaces that are very cold they pay tribute In drops of va por, which In warm weather take the form of dew and in cold of hoarfrost. Moisture therefore plays a very impor tant part in the development of these hoarfrost pictures. But there must not be too much of it. Some of the most delicate designs occur during the prev alence of mist and haze, and In towns especially it is no uncommon thing for a choking brumnous fog to be in some degree compensated for by a subse quent display of copious hoarfrost. Knowledge. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Kid gloves will not mold If you pack them away carefully In a dry pla ce. The appearance of a grate may- be improved by rubbing It over with a. piece of old velvet after It has been polished in the usual way. IMetal teapots should have a lump o' sugar put inside them before they are put away, otherwise they are apt to re main damp and acquIre a musty flavor. Loops for hanging up garments are continually breaking. A serviceable loop is made by cutting a strip of kid from an old glove, rolling in it a piece of coarse string and sewing the edges of the kid neatly together. Gilt frames may be revived by beat Ing up the whites of eggs with an ounce of soda and then, after blowing the dust from the frames with the bel lows, -rubbing them over with a soft brush dipped in the mixture. Experts ia cut glass advocate the fol lowing as the best means of cleaning: Wash the glass thoroughly with warm soapsuds and cover with sawdust. As soon as the sawdust Is dry brush the article very carefully with a soft brush, reaching all the crevices. It will come out as clear and sparkling as a bubble fresh from the pipe. IAbbreviations In Letters. Emerson said that "In a letter any expressions may be abbreviated rather than those of respect and kindness. Never write 'Yours aff'ly.'" But, be it said with all respect, this smacks of pedantry. The close of- a letter is mere formula and is precisely that part which in writIng to a friend may with out rIsk of misunderstanding be cut short or dispensed with. But no haste or degree of familiarity excuses care less expressions In the letter itseli. Written words stand by themselves. The tone of the voice and the glance of the eye, which often convey more than halt the meaning, are not there as footnotes. Many and many an un Intentional sting has been planted by a clumsy phrase or halting expression. The same principle holds good in con versation.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Many Think They Are Only of Value In Seasoning Food. Salt and pepper, as generally consid I ered, are of value in bringing out the flavor of the food to which they are added. That they have any value from a health standpoint is not so generally recognized. You may know that a lump of salt is good for a horse, but you do not stop to consider how impor tant salt is for your own well being. In eastern countries the condiments. such as pepper, are used to profusion in all foods. Gastric troubles common enough in other countries are conspic uously absent, and the free use of pepper has much to do with that fact. Salt and pepper work against fermen tation. When the stomach is out of or der, or, as the common saying is. upset., it is in a state of fermentation. A certain very wise physician who. has advanced to the point where drugs seem the unimportant thing and cow mon sense the important in making the sick well is advocating the use of pep per and salt even in a glass of milk. It Improves t,he flavor to a remarkable degree, a fact you can prove to your own satisfaction by taking two glasses of milk, one in :lts original simplicity. the other changed by the addition of a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper, then sip a little of each. The chances are that you wi': prefer the seasoned milk. Besides :improving the flavor: and overcoming the tendency toward fermentation the pepper will practi cally disable any microbes that may be floating in the fluids. Thus the gas tric juices will perform their perfect work of changing microbes to food. One of the best remedies for a dis turbed digestion Is hot water to which have been added salt and paprika. If taken a full hour and a half before breakfast, a cup:sul of this very palata ble drink will completely cleanse the stomach and lea-re it in good condition. Out of a hundred persons selected at random It is no exaggeration to saiy that eighty eat too much and also that these same eighty fail of proper muas!, cation. WVeakened digestions are of course the direct result of overeatin; and insufficient mastication, and weak ened digestion means undermined sys tems. At the estremes of life. y-outh and old age, it is wisdom to make the diet much the same. A child's nourish ment should be very simple, so In old age it should grow plainer and plainer. -Chicago Tribune. 3ever Lcoses a Servant. Every one acquainted with a certain practical millionaire living In a crost. street not far from the Fifth avenue highlands wonders how he manages never to lose a good servant. He ex plains his system In a few words: "I pay fair wages, tip my servants when they deserve it and encourage my guests to do the same. if you dint: with me this evening and are particu larly pleased with your waiter, Ar mand, you are at liberty to remember him to the extent of a dollar, no more. Make the tip a quarter. a half, three quarters, if you please, but never more than a dollar. If you do, he will give me the surplus, and I shall have to re turn It to you. Tip my butler, my cook. my maids, if you will, but not on the sly. Do it openly, as they are taught to avoid deceit."-New York Press. V Ialley Forge. My impression had been that Valley IForge was a wild glen high among the mountains, where winter fr-osts and snows held unrelaxing sway for many long, dark months every year. But really Its situation is neither lofty nor remote, and the rigors of the cold are not nearly what they would be in our more northerly states. Comparatively little snow falls, and often there Is not a week's sleighing the winter through. The valley Is only twenty-three miles from Philadelphia. with which it has direct communication by a r-ailroad that skirts along the Schuylkill river. Clifton Johnson in Woman's Home Companion. "Do you say your prayers?" asked the little girl. "Well, sometimes." replied the little "When?" asked the little girl. "Well," returned the little boy, "when Bob an' I get to playin' an' makin' an awful racket while we're goin' to bed an' we hear pop comin' up stairs two steps at a time we drop right down o our knees an' begin to prany, an' Iwhen he gets to our door he don't dare disturb us."-Chlcago Post.
