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

Looks for Things and Sees Them.
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. A woman
found uncleanness once in Dr. John-
son's dictionary. ‘I am sorry, sir,’ she
sald, ‘to see in your work so many
naughty words.” ‘So, madam, you
were looking for them, eh? the old
lexicographer retorted.”

How a Correspondent During the Boer
War Gave His Life for a
Snapshot.
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.

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. Carmany Florin
