The Decorator and Furnisher is au
thority for the statement that there is a
revival of screens. Housewives general
ly, and everybody in particular, ought
to bo glad, for there is nothing moro
charming, more intimate, more confi
dential, more decorative, than a pretty
screen, with its elegant nines and large
leaves embellished by exotic decorations
or original arabesques. Formerly the
screen was looked upon a3 an indispen
sable and protecting article of furniture,
being an ingenious and practical obstacle

HOW TO MAKE YEAST". .
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. Then there are little table screen-;,
with three glazed leaves, which, without
interrupting the view, protect the head

Nauseous Physic.
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.

FURNISHING THE SPARE ROOM,
Arils tlfl Decorations That Are Inexpensive
but Very Effective and Pleasing,
The actual decoration of spare rooms
pales before the comfort of one's guest,
by which 1 do not moan necossarily cost
ly furniture, but the fact that the visitor
has all that he or she can possibly want,
says a writer in The Decorator and Fur
nisher. 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. The books are on exhibition at 437
Spruce street, where they may be seen any
day, or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
evenings.
