When making a pudding don’t forget 0» make a plait in the cloth at the top of your basin, so as to allow the pud- dizg room to swell. ’ When making soup or stew with old vegetables add one teaspoonful of su- gar, which will sweeten them and make them taste like new. To clean tinware first wash the tn thoroughly with hot soapsuds, wipe it thoroughly dry and then scour with flour and well-crumpled newspaper. To keep sponges soft and white wash them in water with a little tartaric acid in it, then rinse in plenty of cold water. Take care not to put in too much tartaric acid or the sponges will be spoiled. Stains may be taken off an enameled bathtub if it is rubbed well with rough salt, moistened with vinegar. This will also clean enameled pots and pans, no matter how burnt or discolored they may be. When a spoonful of borax is put into the last water in which white clothes are rinsed it has the effect of whitening them. Before it is added to the rinsing water the borax should be dissolved in a little hot water. Borax is a useful thing to have in a kitchen. Add a little to the water when boiling out enameled saucepans and iL will help to clean them. If add- ed to the water dish cloths are washed in it will help to keep them a nice color. Many housekeepers experience ex- cessive weariness after washing dishes, mixing bread, ironing or doing other work which requires bending over a table, stove or sink. If a stove is too low it may be raised by having the zinc beneath it lifted by means of a thick board cut to fit. If the table is too low try to have a kitchen stool and eit down whenever practicable. The housekeeper who has never tried the kitchen stool will be surprised at the saving of strength it embodies. If the sink is too low the dishpan may be placed on a large basin turned upside down, which will raise it sufficiently. Any device which will make house- work easier should be tested by the woman who has her own work to do and ‘should also be passed on to the maid if there is one. Every woman longs in her heart for hardwood floors. They are easy to keep clean and beautiful. These women who are so fortunate as to possess the longed-for luxury will find it mueh easier to keep thelr rooms glean and free from dust if the tropical plan is followed of polishing the floors with beeswax rubbed on with a cocoanut husk. It is a safe rule to go by to give the room a good cleaning the very minute the curtains ‘begin to look grimy and smell musty. Everything movable should be carried out of the room, and {it should be swept thor- oughly and the walls wiped with a clean cloth. In washing matting salt should be put in the water. Kerosene should be used for woodwork and am- monia for the window glasses and pic- tures. The best cleaning fluid for fur- niture is plain water, afterward rub- bing the articles with a dry, clean cloth. At all tims the rugs, hangings and pillows should be kept clean. RESENTED INSULT TO FLAG Gen. Sherman and James G. Blaine Were Boys Together — Former Bhowed the Soldier in Him. When Gen. Sherman was a small boy one of his intimate playfellows was James G. Blaine, says the Lippin- cott’'s Magazine. The two boys, to- - gether with Hoyt, a younger brother of the general, were out driving one day, when, as they passed a flag wav- ing in the breeze, “Jimmie” Blaine placed a thumb on the tip of his nose and made a very disrespectful gesture toward the banner. “Did you mean to do that at the flag?” demanded “Cumpie” Sherman, his loyalty outraged. “Yes, I did,” declared Jimmie, stoutly. “Well, if you do it again, I'll put you out.” Nothing more was said and the drive proceeded enjoyably. On the way home the flag was passed again, and again Jimmie Blaine put his thumb to he tip of his nose and so forth. Cumpie refined in the horse, took the uggling Jimmie and gently but firm- y lifted him out of the wagon. Then, in spite of Hoyt's remonstrance that that was not the proper way to treat a yuest, he drove off, leaving Jimmie to tramp the ten miles home as best he — mb —————a oy ~ CHAMBERLAIN 8S €OUGH REMEDY ABSO- LUTELY HARMLESS, The fault ofgiving children medicine con taining injurious substances, is sometimes _ more disastrous thanthe disease from which they are suffering.

Charles Frohman was discussing the morals of the average play. “I believe in a clean stage,” he said, “and I think the stage, pretty gener- atly, is clean enough. Here and there, to be sure, you ¢an find a spot of black, but you have to look for it. You bave to pose for it in the corners and remote recesses. Some of us can find uncleanness anywhere.

In some respects one of the most re- markable war photpographs ever made was secured by a man named Meyer, a correspondent for a German illustrated newspaper durimg the war in South Africa, says Everybody’s Magazine. Meyer was with the Boers, and one day during one of Buller’s attacks along the Tugela he took a position on the firing line. The fire from the British batteries across the river was very heavy during the preliminary period of the assault, and shells literally rained on the low- lying kopjes occupied by Botha’s army. Meyer thought he saw a good oppor- tunity to secure a fine picture, and he jumped out of his ‘“schanze” to snap it, Just then a big lyddite shell exploded within a few feet of him, killing him in- stantly. I afterward secured his cam- era, which was comparatively uninjured, When the film it contained was devel. oped I discovered that Meyer had made a beautiful photograph of the huge shell which snuffed out his life. I sent a copy of the picture to his relatives in Ger- many. es CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY THE BEST MADE. “In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best made for colds,” says Mrs. Cora Walker, of Porterville, Cali- fornia. There is no doubt about its being the beat. No other will cure a cold so quickiy. No other is so sure a preventive of pneumonia. No other is so pleasant and safe to take. These are good reasons why it should be preferred to any other. The fact is that few people are satisfled with any other after having once used this remedy. For sale by J. 8.
