THERE is nothing more indicative of re-
hnement and a genuine culture in a family
than bright, cheerful and tastefullydecorated
bed chambers. Tasteful decorations do not

DoS'T wash your vegetables until Just be.
fore you are ready to cook them. At least
~one-quarter of the value in sweetness, vivac.
ity. and aromatic element is lost by the too
common practice of having washed clean OF
the natural earth adhering to its fibres and
surface during thegrowth, and which, when
roughly dug, is put into the cellar or pit of
the courtryman for winter keeping. Did
that countryman wash each beet, carrot,
potato, etc, as Is generally practiced for sale

washed vegetable, accordining 10 the new es-
tabllshed law OF refinement, never yet ate of
a good natural flavor. and these same people,
if once they leave their city homes and go
into the country farmhouse, rarely fail to
notice the superiority ofivegetables. II is
not because OF the better knowledge of cook
ing. but it is from the fact that the earth is
a preseI sative and absorbant of the volatile
element of the root which, as soon aswashed,
ovapora;es rapidly into the air and is lost.
EXCELSIOR YEAST. Two cups yellow corn,
thoroughly parched without scorching. Two

any specks or hops. Rub them through u
colander and strain the water through a thin
S!oth on to the potatoes. There should be
one gallon Of it when finished. Add one cup
