,Eye-Water and L0nesomeness.
Detroit Free PrasS

Lonesome up here! lonesome, did We says
said tall, bronzed guide who had just
lighted an afternoon pipe in the camp on
Lake Utowana, in the Adirondacks "Why,
gentlemen, you're joking. A man kin never
get that feelin' here, not if he's got any of
the poetry of nature in him, and I hope that
man amt living. Why look round here.
Here are lakes that can't be matched in the
world. See how they reflect the trees, the
flowers and vines. For background you
have over yonder the blue mountains, and
close in the pines and spruce, their dead
limbs hung with nl0ss, and pointing
all about ike arms a-beckonin' YOU
and pointin' out game Down by the shore
you have to push into the wild rosebushes.
and when you Go reach the water there are
the lily pads, and altogether there rises such
a smell of roses, spruce pine and water lilies
that the very fishes jump out of the water to
get Whit of it. At night you hear the does
sighin' for the bucks, the splash of the trout,
and perhaps the yell of panther way back
In the woods. Get lonesome here? No,
Sir-e-en
''You did not preach that last fall, when
the eye-water gave out, said another guide,
who had been a listener to the Grafton, "and
tell you, gentlemen, this poetry of natur'

on them six children O mine. When I'm

that the analogy applies to her mental sus-
tenance and equipment!-tha if we feed her
uniformed and emotional nature with
hlgh-spiced, morbid, unreal fiction she
will become incapable of digesting better
literature, and that by the time she is a
woman anything solid will be rejected by the
pampered appetites Have you never seen
this, you mothers!
Good fiction is truly a legitimate, healthful,
and improving means Of pleasure and profit.
By the perusal of clever novels, of real and
idealized pictures of human life, our mental
range OF vision is extended, the focus of our
intellectual glasses is truly adjusted, our
sympathies enlarged, our prejudices driven
away, our knowledge of and regard for the
just value of life increased and verified; we
are amused, improved, touched, warned,
helped, and urged to help others. There is
no better means of impressing on our minds
the facts of history or the qualities and val
ues of human nature than by the historical
or critical novel. But such are not the re-
suits which usually follow from perusal of
''the light literature of the day." which
library people prove young girls devour
yearly in unlimited quantities.

Save the Old Paper.

Never throw away old paper. If you have
no wish to sell it, use it in the house. SOME
housekeepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning
many articles of furniture.
For instance, volume written by a lady
says: CATER stove has been blackened it
can be kept looking very well FOR long time
by rubbing it with paper every morning.
Rubbing with paper is much nicer way OF
keeping tea-kettle, coffee pot, and teapot
bright and clean than the old way of wash
ing them in suds Rubbing with paper is
also the best way of polishing knives, tin
ware and spoons; they shine like new silver.
For polishing mirrors, lamp chimneys,
etc, paper is better than dry cloth. Pre-
serves and pickles keep much better if brown
paper instead OF cloth is tied over the jar.
Canned fruit is not so apt to mold if a piece
of writing paper, cut to fit the can, is laid
directly on the fruit. Paper is much better
to put under carpet than straw. 1t Is
warmer, thinner and makes less noise when
one walks over it.

Blase and Miserable.
[St. Louis Republican,

There are women in our midst who have
looked forward all their lives to a possible
time when they might own a plain, lady like
costume of elegant material-say a good
black silk. To have such a one would make
them perfectly happy, while their neighbors
are women who have worn nothing but
silken gowns and velvets all their lives
But the first is the happier of the two. She
hops on-still looks forward to the superb
possession, while the other has nothing to
look at through the lens of futurity. The
future. when the rosy curtain rolls away, can
show her nothing she has not known in the
past-only newer silk gowns, others like what
have gone before, and which have fallen to
the lot Of the poor relative. She can still feel
an enthusiasm while looking at painted satins
and brocaded velvets, but her expectancy is
blunt at the point. What can the woman
know of the genuine happiness who does not
remember the first day she wore a sealskin
pelisse, trimmed with natural otters The
fortunate she, born to sealskin, is blase and
miserable.

Good cream tartar bread is perfectly whole
some. but it lacks the alcohol, and can com
monty be distinguished from yeast bread
even by the taste, and this mode of raising"
is used chiefly for those forms which we viii
so unwisely persist in eating hot.
For herein comes to light the most import
ant distinction between the two modes of
raising dough. As formerly remarked, hot
bread, biscuit, etc, ought never to be eaten
by any one. But if we are bound at any rate
to do it, there is much greater safety and
much more ease of digestion secured by the
use OF the cream tartar. The biscuit, ETC.,
made with it can within very few minutes
after baking pass through all the changes
which IN the other case requires five or six
hours. And until these molecular transfer
nations have ceased, the bread is fearful bur-
den to weak stomach. But where it is to
be eaten cold, as it shoulf always be, yeast
fermentation is what it has in ali aces been.
the one way to raise bread.

an Epidemic OF Scrap-Rass.


One of the fancies of the day is TO have in.
Vulnerable scrap-bags and work-bags scat
tered through the house. This should, and
probably will become something more than
fancy, for after one has become accustomed
to the convenient practice of putting away
things IN them it will be difficult to give
them up. They are made in every style and
Of every kind of material
1t for bedrooms, they should match in color
with the other bright or sombre colors used
there One very simple and pretty way to
make them is to make the bag of white
butchers linen; cut it square and have it
about fifteen inches each way. Across the
top and bottom put on a strip Of Canton fan
mel three inches wide; sew this to the linen
with fancy stitches, then draw three circles
at equal distances apart and about the size OF
haf-dollar. Work these, commencing at
the centre and going up in straight lines to
the circumference, with three or four shades
Of yellow embroidery silk. The bag is not
gathered at the top, but has two blue strings
attached to the corners to hang it by. The
bottom of the bag may be ornamented by
strip Of butchers linen fringed out, or by
row of torchon across the bottom, slightly
fulled or, or it may be left plain.

bag Of q band Of silk, sateen OF velvet, five
inches wide, and the rest OF the bag, which
should be ten inches or more long, of one
kind of material The top should be faced
for about five inches and a shir be stitched
there and ribbon run in. Aida canvas bags,
made IN the shape OF tie first one mentioned,
are very pretty. Embroider some snowy
figure or pattern on the canvas, and have the
upper part Of silk with very narrow ribbon
to hang it by. The canvas so extensively
used by tailors in gentlemen's coats make
nice and serviccable bags This may be used
in place of butchers linen.
Still another style is to take piece of silk
three-quarters of yard long and twelve
inches wide, line it with silesia, sew it up in
long and narrow bag, leaving an opening in
the centre large enough to insert your hand,
gather the ends and finish with a tassel, sin
two small rings of bone or Of brass over these
ends up to each side Of the opening. These
are made up especially to hang over rod OF
the knob of a door that is not used often, and
made very ornamental. Outline WORK shows
to good advantage On brown canvas, and
cashmere is pretty for the upper part of ths
bag.

Charming Women.
Atlantic Nfonth,r1

When it was all over, my friend said.
''Now, that is q woman in earnest. Do YOU

Besides, they haven't time. Then they never

running luH nit against every one else's.
That is where they differ most from
women who haven't purposes and who
have seen q good deal Of the world 1t is
the business Of q woman OF the world to be
agreeable. She spares no pains to make her
self Just As good looking as possible and just
as Charming. And she is always tolerant
She may think you q fool for your beliefs,
