Care of BOYS Clothes,

The worst of boys clothes is that be-
ing mostly wooden they absorb dust and
odors to that degree Aunt Jane de-
clares she can smell boy across the
room by his fusty jacket. Every clos
ct ought to have window; but as every
closet does not, all the boys suits should
have thorough airing once week.
On sunny day at Aunt James you
will see the back porch strung with
lines of trousers and jackets turned in
side out and swinging in the wind from
breakfast time till o'clock in the af
ternoon. First they are whipped and
shaken till the dust is out, grease
and mud stains taken out with a stiff
Manila scrubbing brush, hot water,
and soap-any part of the lining that
is soiled is scrubbed in the
same way, rinsed in hot water
sometimes Aunt Jane says it takes
q dip in very weak copperas water to
cleanse and sweeten them to suit her
sun and wind all day doing the rest.
Then the clos, is have the floors washed
often, and the doors left wide open ev
cry day while the rooms are airing, and
by this care that immaculate woman
keeps her boys wardrobe as neat and
sweet as any girls. One rule is that NO
boots and shoes are kept i'll closets with
clothing, for leather and wooden suits to-
gether get up a smell of their own that
is, to say the least, extraordinary. The
bows never wear their boots or thick shoes
up stairs or m carpeted room. As
soon as they come home the boots are
taken off in the little dressing room off
the entry, put on the back porch to be
cleaned if they need it, and then all
go in the boot closet down stairs, while
the boys wear slippers or low shoes
about the house. It was some trouble
to make them understand they were
not to come stalking into the sitting
room in rubber boots or walking
shoes. but the noise, dust and wear
of carpets saved by it would make any
woman's heart glad. The boys pretend
their mother copies Turkish manners
and would like them to leave their shoes
outside, like the Turks at the door of a
mosque; but they find stout shoes last
longer for being kept to their own par.
ticnlar uses, and carpets certainly wear
better when not ground by half-inch
soles. How baggy at knees and wrink-
led AZ elbows the suits are when school
boys have nearly gone through them.
To prevent this, every Saturday night,
after they have been brushed, dampen
the knees of the trousers and press
them with heavy iron, or leave them
all night under smooth board and
heavy weight, the way soldiers keep
their uniforms smooth. When jacket
is worn rough, lay it on table, scrub
with stiff brush, hot water and soap,
using as little water as possible; rub
with a dry crash towel, put q thin cloth
over and press the garment we'll. A
shabby coat often comes out as good as
new from this treatment Coats must
not be hung by the loop on the collar
for any length of time, but be put away
on the wire shoulder forms, which cost
ten cents apiece. Trowsers and vests
should he laid away in press to keep them
in shape. Wide Awake.

Oatne al Mine Days Old.

find that oatmeal porridge is great
ly improved by being made some days
before it is required, then stored in a
closed jar, brought forth and heated for
use. The change effected is just that
which theoreti .ally may be expected.
viz, a softening of the fibrous materi-
al, and sweetness due to the formation
of sugar This sweetening observed
many years ago in some cruel that was
partly eaten one night and left standing
until next morning, when I thought it
tasted sweeter, but to be assured of this
1had it warmed again two nights after
ward, so that it might be tasted under
the same conditions of temperature,
palate, etc., as at first. The sweetness
was still more distinct, but the expert
ment was carried no farther. I
have lately learned that my ensilage
notion is not absolutely new. A
friend who read my Cantor lectures
tells me that he has long been accus-
toned to have seven dishes of porridge
in his larder, corresponding to the sew
en- days of the week. SO that next Mon
days breakfast was cooked the Monday
before, and SO on, each being warmed
again on the day fixed for its final
execution, and each being thus
seven DAYS old. He finds the result
more digestible than newly-made por-
ridge. The classical nine days old
pease pudding is similar anticipation,
and 1 find. rather curiously, that niue
days is about the limit to which it may
be practically kept before mildew-
morlldiness-is sufficiently established
to spoil the pudding. have not yet
tried barrel full of pease pudding or
moistened pease meal, closely covered
and powerfully pressed down, but hope
to do so.-From THE Chemistry OF

It is interesting, not to say comfort
ng, to kn ow that the business depres-
sion in the United States has its almost
exact counterpart in England and other
European countries. The facts of the
existing situation in England are re-
lated In detail by careful observer,
who writes for Bradstreets financial
journal. He says every one is COM
planning of declining prices and dimin-
ishing profits. Works are carried on
at remuneration which is not in ex-
cess of current rates OF interest, and Is
sometimes actually below them. Bus
mess is continued in many directions
only because it is more ruinous to shut up
the mandatory, dismiss workmen and
let machinery lie idle than it is to work
with little or no profit. The price of
metals in England is exceedingly low.
Iron has been cheaper, and continuous
ly cheaper, than at any period in
recorded history. The owners of lead
mines have closed them, since the price
Of the article will not pay for the work
ing. Copper has fallen to half the price
at which it used to stand, and tin,
which used to be almost exactly the
same price az copper, is seriously
cheapened. Cotton, linen and wooden
goods are, abnormally low. Coal has fall
en- 30 considerably that pits are worked
at no profit and even at q loss. The Eng
hsh farmer, though he has at last been
blessed with propitious summer and
plentiful harvest, is in despair at the
low price Of grain and the high price Of
lean stock. Freights are low and the
shipping interest is querulous. Com
plants are rife that the railways are
destroying trade by high freight charges
when their customers have no option
but to employ them, and by diferen-
tial charges Of low amount which they
grant when in thsir competition with
each other they are seeking to attract
1-- customers. Ship-building il GER
a.i.,y very much at . standstill, and
.-a.-ary building operations are suf-
k.ug under unparalleled stagnation.

Household Hints.

The gravy made from roast lamb is
much improved in flavor if few thin
slices of bacon are laid over and under
the roast.
The best way to boil corn is to boil it
with part of the husks on it. Remove
the silk and the tough outer covering,
leaving the white inner leaves. The
corn will be much sweeter If cooked in
this way.
If you are to have winter window gar
dens, now is good time to start them.
The experience of amateurs is, general
", that the slips do better with ordin-
arv soil and care than the old and stocky
plants.
A correspondent, "E," asks how to
clarity sugar: To three pounds of sugar
allow three pints of water; melt the su-
gar in the water, and let it come to q
boil; then add the well-beaten white of
one egg: Let this boil from eight to
ten minutes, and then strain it.
A delicious dish for breakfast is made
by boiling some potatoes until tender,
but not soft; remove them from the
water, dry them on a hot plate, then
rub them TIN ough coarse sieve. II
they were boiled in salt water, they will
require no other seasoning. Rub them
through sieve held over the dish in
which they are to be served, as any
handling will make the particles fall +,
and the effect will be spoiled.
Preserved Tomatoes are a luxury
appreciated in winter. To seven pounds
of tomatoes add one pint of vinegar,
three and half pounds of sugar, one
ounce each of cloves, allspice and Gin
namon. Scald and peel the tomatoes
very ripe ones are BEST; drain them.
Let the vinegar, sugar and spices boil
for five minutes, then put the tomatoes
in to the kettle; these should boil for at
least half an hour; if they were not su =
cessfully drained, three-quarters ct an
hour is none to long. Keep them in
jars closely covered.
