THE HOUSEHOLD. TraiiHfoi'iiiinß a Hull lied room—To I'lilateli tlie Vegetables. A small ball bedroom, 111 ventilated, as such rooms generally are, was made habitable by turning the end of the room opening over the street into one I large window. A transom over the door into the hall was swung on a bar that permitted it to be opened or closed at will. The window was made with a wide sill, wliieh served as dressing ta ble and writing and reading desk. From the tloor to the shelf were two rows of shallow drawers, the open spare between having a curtain upon a brass rod. When the sill was used as a writing desk, this curtain could be moved back to permit one to draw close to the table. When the windows ' were not open, the owner's pretty read ing lamp stood on one side of the sill, over which was laid a white embroid ered scarf. At the other side was a dainty mirror in its old fashioned swinging frame with tiny drawers and stand for the toilet bottles and utensils, j Between the lamp and the dressing j stand some hooks were usually laid. 1 The windows, covered by sash curtains of white net. were spanned by an arch and a wide cornice, which in winter ac commodated heavy portieres. These, draped back during the day, could be lowered at night to shut out the drafts and sounds of the outside world. A couch bed during the day was covered with pretty pillows and at night was turned into a comfortable bed, the bed clothing being kept in the interior. Small pictures in narrow frames cover ed the walls. One corner of tfio room was curtained oft* with a portiere, and behind this was the wardrobe. Small as it was. the room was ideally dainty ! and comfortable.- Washington Star. DoorN I olatelKMl by Hit* Foot. If you have ever attempted to open a door with both hands full, you can realize the utility of the invention shown in the picture. It is often desir able to keep the door between two rooms latched and yet provide some means by which it can be readily un latched and swung open when it is nec essary to pass through with the hands occupied, as, for instance, in earring THE APPARATUS IN PLACE, dishes from the dining room to the kitchen. To this end Eli Denne of Winnipeg lias designed the door at tachment illustrated here. To the spindle operating the latch of the door is secured a short crank arm which is connected with a pivoted footplate by a vertical rod. The footplate is balanc ed by a weight in such a manner that it will return to its normal position im mediately after tlu foot is removed. By changing the pivot pin to a short rod and passing it through the door a second plate can he attached on the op posite side, thus permitting tlie door to be opened from either side. By plac ing the foot on either plate and apply ing a slight pressure the cntcli is re leased. when a further movement 011 the foot in a horizontal direction will swing the door open. C'ooklnur VefretulilcN. I)o not let your cook take too thick a rind off in paring potatoes. The best part of the potato is near the skin. On the other hand, turnips should have a thick rind pared off. Tlie turnip lias an outer part that destroys the fla vor of the whole if not thoroughly re moved. Onions should not be added to a stew or put in to cook with anything else until they have first been boiled for about ten minutes and the water thrown away. City cooks too frequently fail to properly "string" beans before cooking them. This is annoying at the table. Beans are vastly improved by a cream or milk and butter dressing. Cabbages are better if boiled with meat. Potatoes should always be boil ed separately. Otherwise they are sod den and unpalatable. See that cucumbers are sliced as thin as possible, and put cracked ice over them half nil hour before they come to ♦ the table. To clean celery of the insects often found on it take a wineglassful of hot water in which a little bicarbonate of soda has been dissolved. Plunge tlie celery into this after it lias been wash ed. Then cool in ice water before serv ing. Sim 1 tic Antlacptlcii. It is well to remember that charcoal and borqx are simple but valuable an tiseptics. Meat, poultry, game or fish, etc., may bo preserved from taint by being sprinkh d with powdered char coal, which should be washed oft" with clean cold water before tlie food is cooked. Borax is very purifying, and meat is often benefited by being wiped over with a damp cloth dipped in bo rax. In tlie washing of glass, china and other things borax is again of val ue and imparts a luster to such articles as is not obtained by washing them in water only without the assistance of borax. A solution of borax ami hot water should be made and then allow ed to cool before it is used fur glass. Plnycd It to the Limit. Many writers have declared that an Irish gentleman's hospitality is unlim ited, but this is a slight exaggeration, as is shown by a story borrowed from a book of Irish memories. Jerry McCartie was often the guest of friends who 011 account of his pleas ant ways extended to him that sort of old Irish hospitality which enabled a visitor in my own family who came for a fortnight to stay for six years. 111 McCartie*s case the visit stretched to nearly double that time. After eight or nine years, however, his kins man got a little tired of his guest and let him know of his old mansion's pro posed renovation and that he had sign ed a contract for having it painted from garret to cellar. "By George," said Jerry, "it's for tunate that I don't object to the smell of paint, and it will be well to have some one to keep an eye on the paint- ; ers now that tlie wall fruit is ripen ing." Some months passed. Then his host informed him that he was going to be I married, adding, "I thought I'd tell you in good time, so that you could make leisurely preparations to go, as the lady and you may not hit it off as well as you and I do." With tearful eyes Jerry grasped his ' cousin's hand, saying: "Oh, Dan, dear, you have my hearty thanks for your consideration; but, I dear, dear boy, surely if you can put up ! with her I can." The Howacn' Refnge. There is one corner of Central Amer ica that Is at present a perfect paradise j for men who have committed any crime. It is a place whore the outcasts 1 of tlie world's society rule the land of their adoption and where the officials | of the government protect all thieves that come to them and make it danger- 1 ous for any detective to molest them. This is the republic of Honduras, one , of the least advanced of the states of | South or Central America. Honduras indeed is a curious mixture of jungle | and gigantic forest, of cocoa and of i rubber trees, of bugs, vampires, snakes j and crocodiles—of all manner of things that creep and crawl and sting and bite; a region where life in the daytime is a mockery and at night one feels as though sleeping in red pepper. Here, in every hamlet and city, are to be found men from different lands, | mostly outlaws from their own coun -1 try. Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia all furnish their quota. England, France, Italy and even far away Russia have their share. They make no attempt at concealment, bear tlie names they were born to bear and go along about their business as if the I laws of their own country had not de , clared them outcasts.—London Ex press. Naming the Chinese Ruby. In China gills are called instead of j Mary Ann or Marguerite "Spring Peach," "Cloudy Moon," "Celestial Happiness" or what may not be con- I sidered so nice, "Come-along-a-little | brother" or "Add a-younger-brother" or "Load-everlasting-younger-broth ers." The latter means that a son would have been more welcome than a little "go away child," as they call the girls. They belong to the family of the husbands to be and do not count in the family of their birth, so that when a Chinaman is asked, "How many chil dren have you7" he makes no count of the girls, although he may have ten. The boys only be counts, and his reply will indicate only the number of boys. lie gives his sons sucb names as "Ancestral Piety," "Ancestral Knowl edge," "Practical Industry," "Able to Sing Out," "Second God of Learning," "Excite the Clouds," "Beginning of Joy," "All Virtue Complete."

A Little Mistake In Medals. Tlie chief officer of a Yorkshire yeo manry regiment while congratulating one of the troops on its appearance made a stirring allusion to the medals | worn by some army veterans in the ranks. One of the men, a native of Wharfedale, afterward went home in a very thoughtful frame of mind, and next morning he came on parade with several medals 011 his breast. Said the officer, "I didn't know you had been in tlie regulars." "No; I ain't," said the man. "Well, how about the medals, then, my good fellow? Tliey can't be yours." The man promptly answered: "Can't they? Aye, but they be. My old coo won 'em all at Otley show."—Upper Wharfedale. Not Available. When at 3 o'clock one morning Mrs. Newman was convinced that she heard a burglar In the parlor, she cautiously awakened her husband.
