NOVEL BUTTER CUTTER.
Divides Pound Into a Number of Small
and Equal Slices.
Among the Infinite vnrlety of de
vices that lighten the housowlfo'i
bunion and add to the nttracUvenesa
of the dinner table Is the butter cut
ter devised by two men In the State
of Washington. Nor Is this cutter
useful In the home alone. In fact, it
la probably of more real use In hotels
and restaurants, where many pounds
of butter have to be cut 1b a day, and
where an equal portion to every cus
tomer U a diplomatic necessity. The
apparatus consists of an oblong frame,
slightly larger than a pound of butter,
with handles at each end. Running
through the center of the framo
lengthwise is a thin sharp strip of
metal, the edges pointing out ' At
right angles to this, and crossing the
frame at close intervals, are other
knifelike strips. The device Is placed
over a pound of butter and pressed
down through it, dividing the lump
into about two dozen equal squares.
CLEARS UP ALL BAD ODORS.
Nothing Better Than An Onion to
Purify Atmosphere.
Everyone knows that an onion has
a distinct and unpleasant odor, wheth
er cooked or raw. But everyone does
not know that this odor of an onion
"will draw to It every other disagreea
ble odor and clear the house atmos
phere in a day.
The onion can then be thrown
away and with it go the disagreeable
smells that come about In a house
that has been closed for the summer.
And this is also a good thing to
know: That it will absorb all the
odor from fresh paint and turpentine.
If the house has been freshly painted
and cleaned for the season's occupan
cy, the people moving Into It will be
miserable with the smells that come
from the walls and floors.
One onion should be cut into small
pieces and placed about the room In
two or three saucers. Allow an onion
to each room and let the saucers re
main there over day and night If
every bit of odor hasn't gone in that
time put a few fresh pieces In for the
next day.
The Home.
I'Istache nuts salted in the shell
are a dainty addition to the luncheon
or dinner menu.
To candy lemon peel boll It in sugar
and then expose to the air until the
B'"gar crystallizes.
To make a cake flavored with cof
fee use strong coffee in place of milk
in mixing the batter.
A novelty In a table crumb brush Is
fashioned after a carpet sweeper. It
Is made of brass.
The fashion in birthday cukes hns
whiffled and now one candle for the
whole life Is the thing.
V piece of asbestos or of leather Is
excellent to slip between the filling
when making iron holders.
Uy soaking beans, peas, and other
dried vegetables thoroughly much
fuel will be saved In the cooking.
Warm water should he used with
yeast, while with cream of tartar and
soda only cold water should be used.
Fried Spinach Pie.
Clean and cook one-hnlf peck of
s Inach. When cooked chop, but not
too line, beat three eggs, ndd three
tablespoons olive oil, two cupfnls
grated bread, one cupful grated
t pese then the spinach. Salt and
orlon sliced very line should be add
i after the former ingredients have
1 n mixed, and mix again thorough
1; I'arclschan cheese is the best to
use. Put on a frying pan in olive oil
or butter, if preferred and fry until
almost cooked, then form Into a sort
o" pie shape and brown on both sides.
.fier one side has been browned, it
cin bo turned over by placing a shal
low plnte on top and quickly turning
It downward, holding both together.
This mixture can be used to stuff fowl.
To Clean Tubs.
K piece of steel wool will remove
tains or lime deposited by water on
tubs, basins, sinks. It will also clean
refractory cooking utensils which have
4een burned. The same piece may
o used over and over. A pound of
fills steel wool, which will last a long
time, may be obtained at any paint
store for about 40 coats.
Don't Use Feather Duster.
Don't dust your furniture with a
feather djister, it only spreads the
dust more than ever throughout the
house and causes the necessity for
laundering the curtains oftener.

Improving A Boy $
i
"I wish," said Miss Lticy, the public-school
teacher, to Miss Carpenter,
her neighbor In the school, at recess,
"1 wish that George Smith would pre
tend he wns a dog once in a while or
do something elso to show that he
is a real live boy."
"Dog?" repeated Miss Carpenter,
looking puzzled.
"Yes, Hoy, the young rogue, spent
about Ave mlnues this morning bal
ancing an eraser on his nose, tossing
It Into the air and catching It In his
mouth. My! How he seemed to en
Joy it!" Miss Lucy laughed at tho
recollection. "Ho looked exactly like
my dog Bob when Bob Is doing tricks.
"No; the other pupils were entirely
unaware of his performance, because
this month Hoy sits In the back row.
"nut little Clrorglo seems never to
have any fun, he Is so poor and weak
and shabby and dull. He never moves
all day.
"No, I'm not tickled to death to
have him so quiet. He's too good. I'm
afraid he'll turn out to be like that
embezzler who was the pride and Joy
of every teacher he ever had. Didn't
you hear about him? Why, it wns
right here in Chicago.
"I pointed out to Itoy," continued
Miss Lucy, "when I told him to copy
a poem to night, that he'd better learn
to be good when he had a kind teach
er to punish him than be punished by
some hard-hearted employer when he
went to work and perhaps lose U
place. From his actions I think he
would rather take his chances with
the eruel 'boss' In the' dim future than
be killed by behaving himself In the
present," Miss Lucy laughed. "I ns
sured him that he would be thankful
to me some day for making him cop.,
the beautiful thoughts in the poem,
but he seemed very unapprccial'
He didn't hesitate to tell me that he
would have 'beautlfuller thoughts' If
he could read 'Frank on a Gunboat'
"Yes, I agree with you that making
children copy poems is a splendid
way to encourage a detestation of llu
'best literature, but l was determine i
that Roy should do the work himself
this time. His mother stayed up half
the night to work out the cancellation
examples that I gave him the other
day to punish him.
"But, dear me! I wish Roy could
divide some of his surplus energy with
Georgle. What good times thev
would both have!"
The next day Miss Lucy had tin
other story to tell. "I can grow elo
quent to-day on the 'curse of granted
wishes,'" she said to Miss Carpenter.
"Why, I absolutely had my breath
taken away this morning. That timid
little Georgle persistently kept his feet
stretched out in the aisle. When
Gertie fell over them I confined my
self to a few remarks about girls who
went down the aisles with their head
turned over their shoulders; but when
I went down the aisle and Georgle
put out his foot so quickly that it
was only by falling on tho neck of
Harry and nearly strangling him tint
I saved myself, I could see nothing in
It but pure maliciousness. Do you
suppose he could have heard what 1
said to you yesterday about him?
"Yes, I do like boys to have a lit
tle fun, but I draw the line at fur
nishing It for them by turning somer
saults In the aisles." Miss Lucy Join
ed in Miss Carpenter's laugh, but not
with her usual heartiness. She .as
plainly worried. "At noon," she s-id
"I'm going to try to find out what
possessed the little imp."
So Miss Lucy began her Investiga
tions at the first opportunity. "Don't
cry so, Georgle," she said, "hut Just
tell me why you were so bad this
morning. Don't be afraid; I won't
punish you this time, because you
have always been such a good boy.
But you must promise not to do it
again, will you?"
But all her coaxings and pleadings
and threats were unavailing. Sobs
which shook tho poor, thin little frame
were the boy's only answer.
"Well, Georgle, you will have to
bring your mother." said Miss Lucy,
quite out of patience. .
The mother, as timid as her son,
could give no explanation when she
came to see Miss Lucy.
"He Is always a good .boy at home."
she said. "He always gets the sup
per and cleans up the house when I
am at work. This week he gets up
hdlf an hour earlier than usual and
he is so sleepy to clean his shoes.
because then he thinks you will be
glad and maybe will lot him stay by
you after school and clean the black
boards. He Is so lonesome at home
when I am away, and the boys don't
like him, because he Is so still. He
likes you much, Miss Lucy, I don't
think he moans to bo bad."
"Oh, Mrs. Smith!" said Miss Lucy,
her voice tremulous. "I did notice
his shoes, but I didn't say anything
he Is such a timid little fellow that I
don't say much to him. And his
shoes are lovely, and I'm never go
ing to be cross to you again."
"George Is improving," Miss Lucy
announced to Miss Carpenter a month
later. "Perhaps it is the familiarity
which brings contempt, but ho told
me a Joke yesterday after school anil
actually laughed as much as Roy
would have done. And ho has wills
pered in school twice within a week
and ho was reported twice for squirting
water over Willie Davis. Yes, Georple
Is a real hoy, after all.
"Ho is going homo with me now tc
take iliy dog Hob out for a run. Yon
wouldn't know Georgle for the same
boy, would you?" And sho looked
fondly at tho llrtlo fellow, who was
playing tag with another boy.--(Jlilca-Co

THE KIS8INQ CURE.
Man with a Toothache Willing to Try
His Friend's Remedy.
On entering a street car tho other
day I noticed a familiar figure, ono
hand holding a strap, the other being
prrssed against his Jaw, seemingly In
great agony. Recognizing him, I slip
ped him on the shoulder and asked
what the trouble was. He auswend:
"Ouch! Can't you seo I've an aw
ful toothache T"
"You are only Imagining you havo
a toothache," said I.
"Sometimes 1 Imagine It, too, but
when I gt horn, my wlfo kisses
around the toothache, and by It, and
on it until I forget I ever had a tooth
ache." My friend was quick to reply, "Will
your wife be horn in half an hour?"
How It Began.
Man was experiencing his
first
aehe.
"It warns me," he reasoned, "that
I have violated a law of my nature,
and puts me on my guard against do
ing so again.'
But Just her he happened to dis
cover some anodyne herb which put
an end to the acta.
"Ha! 1 needn't trouble, after all,
I can go on and do as 1 please!" ho
exclaimed, highly thanking his lucky
stars.
And from such beginnings rose tha
great art of healing.
Ever "Preen."
A traveling salesman died very sud
denly in Kalamazoo. His relatives
telegraphed the florist to make a
wreath; the ribbon should, be extra
wide, with the Inscription "Rest In
Peace" on both sides, and if there is
room, "We Shall Meet in Heaven."
The florist was out of town and his
new assistant bandied the Job. It was
a startling floral piece which turned
up at the funeral. The ribbon was
extra wide and bore the inscription:
"Rest in Peace on Both Sides, and If
There Is Room We Shall Meet In
Heaven."
Exercise and Food.
"What do you want?" demanded
Mr. Newlywed as h confronted the
tramp at the front door of the bunga-
low. "breakfast or work?"
Both, sir," replied the wayfarer,
timidly, says Brooklyn Life.
"Well, eat that." returned the other
savagely, handing out a biscuit and a
piece of steak, "and you'll have both."
Whoreupon Mrs. Newlywed glanced
reproachfully at her husband for he
was giving away the first fruits of her
culinary studies at the cooking school.
Bitter Cold.
A South Side man claims that the
Janitor of tha flat building in which
he lives is the meanest man on earth.
"Ha never gives us half enough
steam during tho day," said the com
plainant, "and at night tha conditions
are simply awful. Why, I frequently
wa".:e up and hear ray wife's teeth
chattering on the bureau."
Quite Another Thing.
"Whom are you going to give those
cigars to?"
"To tho Janitor, so that he will give
us more heat."
"Why, I thought I heard you abus
ing him terribly this morning."
"My dear woman, you don't think I
dare address the Janitor like that? I
was talking to the landlord."

The Etiquette of Calling When
tha Formal Visit Is Necessary
Leaving of Cards for Men as
Well as Woman Dinner Call
Is Impsrtant.
Formal anlli In the city during the
season ara paid between 3 and G.30
o'clock in tha afternoon. The day at
horn la a purely social occasion, and
calls ef congratulation, of apprecia
tion for soma hospitality, or maraly
for. the pleasure of friendly inter
course are paid then If possible. It
Is always mora considerate and com
plimentary, says Vogue, to observe
a friend's day at home, it sho baa Is
sued cords appointing one, than to pay
her chance calls on other days.
Brides and strangers newly Arrived
In a neighborhood never make but al
ways wait to receive flrst calls. Wom
en who have been Invited to visit, or
during; tha summer season have been
entertained In a friend's house in the
country, must ba among the first, di
rectly thWr hostess returns to town,
to call upon her.
When there exists no previous in
debtedness on either slds and aftor a
Bummer's holiday two women arrive
In their homes on vary nearly tho
same data the younger calls upon the
alder first.
Where the difference in tholr ages
is very slight the woman who returns
to town first makes the initial call, or
the unmarried one calls flrst on the
married woman.
Should a member of society bo in
arrears for hospitality or an Invitation
received by those who issue their at
home first the routine of calling be
gins without strict reference to courte
sies extended or received in the fore
going winter.
It is not only a civility but a social
necessity when one has served as a
bridesmaid, maid of honor, usher or
best man to call upon the brides
mother shortly after the wedding, and
upon the bride directly after she re
turns from her honeymoon. The guests
at a home wedding, wedding reception
or breakfast must call in due course
on the mother of the bride, and later
on the bride.
It is an obligation to call on one'a
hostess after a dinner, u dance, a mus
icale or a luncheon. For men as well
as women the dinner call is of para
mount importance. It is paid within a
fortnight after the -dinner.
First calls in the season should be
returned very promptly on the next
reception day of the person who has
made the call, if she has a reception
day; and if she has none, then at any
propitious time within a week or fort
night After this polita exchange of
civilities a longer period between vis
its may be allowed to lapse. Calls of
condolence and congratulation should
be made as soon as possible.
The majority of calls between wom
en are exchanged on their appointed
days at home, and then the cards are
left by the caller on the tray In the
hall as she passes through on her way
to the drawing room. She puts into
the tray one of her own and two of
her husband's, If her hostess Is mar
ried. If her hostess' unmarried daugh
ters receive with their mother, the
caller would leave one of her cards
when going out.
A young lady paying a chance call
on a mother and daughters, or a host
ess and friend, and being told tho
ladies nre out, leaves two cards. A
call paid to a lady visiting In a house,
whether the lady of the house la a
friend or stranger to the caller, re
quires two cards one for the guest
and one for her hostess, and this 1b
still tho rule whether the caller is a
man or woman.
A young man when calling for tho
llrst time on an unmarried woman
asks for her mother, or chaperon, as
well, and If they are not at homo, he
should leave two cards. Subsequently
he need leave but one card.
Thcro was a time when a man sent
up his card when calling, but this has
gone out now for Infomal calls. He
sends his mime by tho servant; leav
ing a card only If she on whom he la
calling is not at home. On reception
days ho leaves cards on tho tray.
We are In a transitional stage In
large cities as regards the European
custom of leaving cards at tho door
by the footman without nsking to see
the ladles of the house. This is an
entirely correct proceeding in a largo
society, where the demands on ono's
time are great, and in any metropolis
It is a sign of provlnclnlism to take
offense at the practice. It has been
done for years In London, and Is quite
the ctiBtom in Now York and Wash
ington.
White Kid Slippers.
When white kid slippers have been
used to such an extent that they aro
a little shabby they can bo palntod a'
delicate blue or pink, to go with tha
party frock. Oil paints should boi
used, being put on with a camel's hair
brush. Metal buttons and ornaments
may be painted with oil paints so that
they will harmonize with some new
frock. Tho painting of quills and
feathers Is a decided accomplishment,
but many amateurs do It, making very
pretty ornaments out of thorn.
Diamond Earring Protectors.
For women who wear diamonds the
little hollow gold balls to snap over
the earrings are a novelty not to be
despised when traveling. They may
want their Jewels with them when in
appropriately gowned. To these wom
en the latest dovlce In gold will prove
