The hood is made of 10 rows of double i!0 crochet, without increasing or de creasing, and at the end of each row cut oh' the wool, as in the cape. After the 10 rows are done, double tho work in two on the wrong side, putting the first double crochet of the twelfth row against the last of the same row, and sew up the Io double croc het on each side: work tho hood on to the cape by a row of tightened stitches, which is also done on the two exl rem Itiee of the cape not covered by the hood.

The Home Preparation of ThU KsscniLii Ingredient In HreaduiuUing'. In the preparation of yeast absolute cleanliness of all the utensils used is nec essary to success. For tiiis reason it is better io prepare the yeast in a porcelain lined saucepan rtnd set 1t to rise in a rt :i" pot. The best yeast for fsAiily nee wiU keep for two months in thewintei and In : lie summer also if kept ill a good refrigerator. To make this measure out a Cupful of dry hope, pour a pintof boil ing water over them and let them Biiu ffler in a pon . lain saucepan for i!3 min utes. The saucepan should be kept fof this special purpose, as it will be strongly im pregnated wiih the flavor of hops. Strain tho boiling hot hop water over a pint of hot mashed potatoes, stirring it iu grad ually. Add a cupful of sugar, a cupful of salt and a cupful of Hour, mixed to gether. Beat this mixture thoroughly ao us to remove all lumps. It is just, as wi ll to mix tho dry ingredients with the pota toes before pouring on the hot bop Wa ter, When a thin, even batter is formed, add 4 quarts of boiling water, Let this mixture stand till it is barely blood warm, Then add a good cake of grocer's yeast. After homemade yeast has once been started, no grocer's yeast i needed. Two oupfull of it will be Sufficient to start u new batoh, and should be r-aved each time for this purpose. Set the yeast over night behind the stove or in somo place where it will be kept at a uniform tem peratureof about 80 degree! It. is not strictly necessary that this temperature should be maintained all night, but it is desirable that the yeast should be kept in quito a warm place for at least six hours in order to start the fermenta tion. The yeast should be carefully cov ered after it is set to rise, and in winter it should bo wrapped about with a warm cloth and thick newspapers, if nothing elso Is convenient, in order to keep in the heat. in the morning the yeast should be well covered with beads of foam. Beat well, and let it rise 13 hours longer, beat ing several times. When ready to put away, it should be a thick mass of white foam. Put in two stone jugs holding a gallon each and tin tho corks down with strings for a week or two, advises the New York Tribune, authority for the foregoing. With 1 his yeast uso only a teaspoonful of salt for four loaves of bread. TBS CONVENIENT F1RKSOBKEN, qtient colds, as well as hiding from sight things useful, but not always agreeable to look at. Tho old time screen was a cumbersome affair, composing often eight or ten leaves and standing 0 feet or more in height. Modern screens afford an infinite variety of kinds, embracing light and heavy screens, small and large, costly aud inexpensive. The Japanese screens, with their light weight frames, rank among the popular sorts. Screens are in favor for dining rooms, where they are placed to cut oil' drafts or conceal the butler's pantry beyond. The most simple are covered with reddish brown from Japanese papers of incompar able decoration. There are other screens made of light white wood with panels, tho lower part of which is simple, while the upper part is windowed with little mirrors rather square than rectangular, the wood generally covered with white lac. Yery comfortable are the screens in vented for the hearth. These envelop the front of the fireplace, and an open ing in the lower part of the principal panel permits one to warm the feet with out feeding the heat of the coals in the face.

Physic is proverbially nauseous, and in some cases a little may be done to dis guise the taste. Castor oil is best taken in milk, coffee or brandy. It may be made into a tasteless emulsion by adding a little cinnamon water or orange flower water and a drop or two of oil of lemon. This is OS palatable as milk if properly made. Epsom salt s may be disgu ised by peppermint water, quinine or cinchona by milk, senna by cloves and aloes by liquorice. Women PhyslcUns In Turkey. Judge Terrell, the United Btates min ister, has just gained u notable diplo matic victory. For several years the number of female physicians in Turkey has been increasing, notwithstanding the fact that Turkish law re fused to rcvognke them as legitimate practition ers. Foremcst among them have been the American missionaries, who hau repeatedly won the highest praise for their self denying work. They have, however, been greatly hampered by the fact that they could not secure regular Turkish diplomas, and the various for eign embassies have been very earnest iu their efforts to gain for them official recognition. Hitherto they have tailed entirely, but at last Turkish conserva tism has yielded, atid to the American embassy belongs the honor of securing what neither Russian, French, British nor German embassadors could tcain. tauie near the bed. a cozy basket chair or I a sofa, which makes the difference be- Iween the guest chamber and a room in I a hotel. Iu tho transforming of the ugly spare I room for the coming guest, what shall I prevent madam from paying 50 cents apiece for a charming salmon paper, with bold brocadelike pattern in a darker shade and triage of pink and yellow dahlias on a cream ground, and cover ing the ceiling with yellow daisy pat tern? The paint shall be Japanese ivory, with gold paneding. The floor is covered a dainty terra cotta aDd gold brussels carpet, leaving one foot of stained and polished surround. In the windows we hang short curtains of gold serge and frilled oues of creamy muslin reaching to the window ledge, beneath which, to the floor, are fixed shelves "boxed in" at the ends, over which hang dainty little curtains of cretonne. Then there should be a quaint ly fashioned walnut suit, with ward robe showing a full length mirror, plen teous drawers, a pnetty niche for books, pottery, etc., and furthermore a long wooden overmantel, to be painted with the room. Add to this a wide mantel board, with a deep frill of handsome terra cotta and gold figured velveteen and we have a pretty resting place for the treasured odds and ends which mean so much to a really womanly woman. For the bedstead, we chose one of the pretty shape with no tester, but merely winglike supports for curtains at either i side. For the curtains we choose a love 1 ly cretonne, showing velvety single dah lias in soft shrimp pink and tender yellow on a willow green ground; the curtains are lined with salmon color and edged with tufted binding. The bedspread is of pink or willow green sheeting, witli a frill to the ground. How much pleasanter to open eur eyes in such a room as this than iu one of those "done up" in the chilly idd gray and white style, ugly enough on a bright day, but depressing beyond all description on a dull, sulleu one! , Oysters Are ourlthlni; rood. Urging the use of oysters as food, an ; exchange says: Speaking roughly, a quart of oysters contains, on the average, about the same quantity of actual nutritive substance as a quart of milk, or 8 pound ' of very lean beef, or a pound and a half I of fresh codfish, or two-thirdsof a pound ' j of bread. But while the weight of actual ' nutriment in the different quantities of food material named is very nearly the ! same the quality is widely different. That of the very lean meat or codfish consists mostly of what are called iu chemical language protein compounds, or "flesh formers" the subutauces which make blood, muscle, tendon, bone, bruin and other nitrogenous tissues. That of the bread contains but litllo of these and consists chiefly of starch, with a little fat aud other compounds, which serve the body as fuel aud supply it with heat and muscular power. The nutritive substance of oysters contains considerable of both the flesh forming and the more especially heat and force giving ingredients. Oysters come nearer to milk than almost any other common food. Their values for supplying the body with material to Imild up its parts, repair its wastes and furnish it with heat and energy would be pretty nearly the same. Household IUnte. For scalds from hot water or stoves there is nothing more apt to lje handy than baking soda. Wet it up soft and apply freely. It the bum is superficial or of slight extent, binding it up with this is all that will be necessary. No matter how large the spot of oil, any carpet or woolen stuff can be cleaned by applying buckwheat plentifully and faithfully, brushing it into, a dustpan after a short time und putting ou fresh until the oil has disappeared. A lump of camphor in your clothes press will keep steel ornaments from tar nishing. Strong tepid soda water will make glass very brilliant; then rinse in cold water aud wipe dry with linen cloth. A goblet of hot water taken just after rising, before breakfast, has cured thou sands of cases of indigestion, and no sim ple remedy i.i more widely recommended to dyspeptics.

Making sure that your friends' rooms are looking their best is not only s dnty, but should be a pleasure. It is just tho fact of having a well plenished writing table, a wastebasket. a steady Dear Mother: Do you know which of the subjects in this circle jour child will ask about ? Of course not; for he may be a genius on any one of them. But you cannot be prepared to answer him on all of them; if you were you would know everything. And yet he should have his questions answered while he is eager, or he may lose interest in what would otherwise make him successful and, may be, famous. Is it not better to tell the child that you do not know, il you don't, and invite him to help you look up the question in the Encyclopedia Britaunica? In this way he soon becomes an in vestigator. Your child now has a chance to se cure a set. THE TRIBUNE will supply this splendid library to you at io cents a day.
