Your dealer in lamp-chim-

You can’t be an expert in 
chimneys; but this you can 
do. Insist on Macbeth’s 
“pearl top” or “pearl glass” 
whichever shape you require. 
They are right in all those 
ways; and they do not break 
from heat, not one in a hun¬ 
dred. 
Be willing to pay a nickel more for them.

TO EVERT WOMAN: For the present, we have this 
broad offer to make to all readers of the Woman and 
Home Department: We will give a full year's subscrip¬ 
tion to The R. N.-T. to each friend who will send one- 
hal.f column of available matter within that year. 
Subscription may be a new one, or it may be an exten¬ 
sion of one already on our books. 
CONDI'l IONS.—Rut note this : We shall apply at 
least three tests to every article, viz.: Is it brief? Is it 
fresh and bright? Is it really interesting to 
women 1 Let intending contributors apply these tests 
before sending their matter. We want short para¬ 
graphs only, of not more than 200 words. In range 
of topic, these may cover everything of special interest 
to women. Indifferent, prosy or stale matter is NOT 
wanted. We, want to hear from our cleverest women, 
with facts, fancies and experiences all their own. 1 he 
half column need not be sent all at once. 
Just Soap and a Brush.—A celebrated 
German dentist says in reference to 
for the teeth : “We know that 
BUST’S

caring 
the whole method of correctly caring for 
the teeth can he expressed in two words 
—brush, soap. In these two things we 
have all that is needful for the preser¬ 
vation of the teeth. All preparations 
not containing soap are not to be recom¬ 
mended, and if they contain soap all 
other ingredients are useless except for 
the purpose of making their taste agree¬ 
able. He who will unceasingly preach 
to his patrons to brush their teeth care¬ 
fully shortly before bed-time; as a cleans¬ 
ing material to use Castileusoap ; as a 
mouth wash a solution of oil of pepper¬ 
mint in water ; and to cleanse the spaces 
between the teeth by a careful use of a 
silken thread, will help them best in pre¬ 
serving their teeth.” 
Three Absolutely New Things— that is, 
as fashions go. The latest skirt, known 
as the Empire skirt, consists of a full 
breadth each of wide goods for front and 
hack, with a gore at each side of familiar 
side-gore width at bottom, and sloping 
almost equally on both edges to an 
actual point at the top. The latest foot 
trimming is the circular ruffle, cut to 
form a true bias, a complete cirele, whose 
inner edge is the exact size of the skirt 
where it is attached. The extra size on 
the other edge makes the ruffle. This 
admits no other finish than an applied 
heading of gimp or bands. The third 
novelty is one corkscrew curl depending 
from the back hair upon the nape of the 
neck. Needless to say that fashion tries 
her hand at first on these novelties in 
the house, not upon the street; for this 
is an almost invariable rule : home and 
evening dresses change first; after that 
street costumes follow their leading. 
Saving.—A friend says, “ No man was 
ever made rich by his wife’s petty econo¬ 
mies ” When you are planning some 
petty economy, don’t count yourself out 
of the problem. I hold a private indig¬ 
nation meeting every time I read that 
so often reprinted item telling us how to 
wash our lampwicks. Wash a lampwick ! 
Shades of all the worn-out housekeepers 
forbid it! Lampwicks cost five cents a 
yard, and a yard will make five, and 
when one is dirty, put it in the stove, 
and spend the time it would take to clean 
up the dish you washed it in in doing 
something nobler and better. While 
you are wearing yourself out trying to 
save a cent, ten to one your better half 
is handing out a handful of loose change 
and never stopping to count it. Save 
yourself by using all the small labor- 
saving appliances you can get, like the 
meat and the slaw cutters, and many 
others, hut beware of those that ought 
to have a horse-power to run them.

New York’s Sense of Fitness and Justice. 
—It is a crying injustice that women are 
not considered eligible to the lowest of 
the three grades on the hospital staff— 
that of resident physician in the hos¬ 
pitals, said Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi, 
than whom no one is better qualified to 
speak upon women in the profession. 
“Women need this experience of walking 
the hospitals just as much as do the men 
They are not so much quicker of in¬ 
stinct and more brilliant of intellect 
than the men that they can do entirely 
without the experience which is by right 
accorded to their male competitors in 
the field. Yet in not one of the general 
hospitals in this great city is a woman 
allowed to come up for examination for 
the position of resident physician, no 
matter bow brilliant her record as a 
student may have been. Even in the 
Woman’s Hospital in 49th Street, where
