HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Science in the Househo old.

There is heat enough wasted around an
ordinary kitchen range-to say nothing
of the furnace to furnish all the power
needed to run the sewing machine, pump
water for an elevator, and light the
dwelling by electricity. The same waste
Of heat of the cooking apparatus might
be made to cool the house in summer aud
TO dispense with the ice bill. When
nitrate of ammonia, for example, is dis.
solved in water it absorbs an enormous
amount Of heat and the principle Is
readily applied in the construction of re.
frigerating chambers. Properly elabo-
raated and located these could be so ar.
ranged as to keepmcats, etc., better than
the ordinary ice box, to cool water for
drinking more who 'esomely than the
average ice supply, aud to send volumes
OF cold air down through shafts to rcgu-
lators in the ceilings of rooms so that the
heat of summer might be tempered as
certainly as the cold of winter. The same
supply of the ammonia salt may be used
repeatedly by evaporating the wat r. for
which purpose the waste heat above
spoken of could he utilized. The posi-
bilities of applied science in the house
hold have not been even nibbled at
Chicdqo Ners.

Use No SUGAR On Oatmeal.

"Be careful how you eat oatmeal {"
said a doctor recently to reporter for
the New York Mil anil Elpress. "Oat-
meal is a very heathful food if taken
properly. No food Is healthy If i'm
properly used.
''How should it be eateni"
"lf oatmeal is eaten in excess of the
needs of the body for proper nutrition it
ovcrloads and taxes the system. 1t must
not be eaten partially cooked. Flour.
corn meal, rice and other approved arti.
clcs of wholesome diet are not healthy il
half cooked. If an excess of sugar or
other sweets is used it will disagree with
many people, causing indigestion. If
eaten with an excess of cream it will not
be healthy Cor some persons whose
stomachs are too delicate to stand rich
food. Oatmeal is a healthy food when
not used for oyer.foeding, when suf-
ficiently cooked and when not used with
an excess of cream OF sweets Oatmeal
sLsuld be eaten without any sweets,
using little milk or cream, a little but
ter, ana seasoned with salt as the
Scotch do"

Household Hints.

Leather chair seats may be revived by
rubbing them with well-beaten white OF
egg.
Sweet potatoes require nearly twice the
time that Irish potatoes do either to bake
or boil.
Tepid water with a little borax dis,
solved in it is good to wash colored table
linen in.
White and pale shades of tint may be
beautifully cleaned by using whiting in
the water.
Cook oatmeal in double boiler or in
a covered pail set in kettle Of water.
BE sure to salt it.
To wash castor bottles, put them one.
third full of rice, and fill up with water
shake thoroughly.
To clean red brick floors, rub them
with a brick moi,tened witha little warm
milk and water and wipe dry with a
soft cloth.
To clean straw mating, boil three
quarts of bran in one gallon o, water
and wash the mating with the water,
drying it we'll.
Teach leaves pounded TO a pulp and
applied TO bruisc, or a wound from a
rusty nail, or a simple cut, will give i'm
mediate relief.
Don't allow matches TO be kept loose
or in paper boxes, but only in metal OF
earthern safes. Those lighting only on
the box are safest.
If the face seems constantly dry, rub it
with trihe of olive oil every night for q
time; If too oily, put little boiaX in
the water used for bathing it,
If you wish to keep a sharp knife don't
put in hot grease; stir your potatoes
while flying, or turn meat with fork OF
an old case knife kept on purpose,
To remove paint from windows, take
strong bioarbonate of soda and dissolve
it in hot water. Wash the glass, and in
twenty minutes or halt an hour rub thor.
oughly with a dry cloth.
The carving knife and large knive.
used in the kitchen, as well as cooks
knives that are required to be very sharp,
should never be used about the fire for
stirring hot things. This will quickly
dull them.
Lemons will keep good for months by
simply putting them into a jug of but.
termilk, changing the buttermilk about
every three weeks. When the lemon,
are required for use they should be well
dried with cloth.

cred a. boat he called out that he would
split the head of the first man who at
tempted to board the schooner. Our first
mate, the boatswain, and two of us fore
mast hands went in the boat with Mrs.
Thomas, aud ms we hooked on TO the
schooner's chains the boatswain pulled a
revolver and climbed in over the bows.
The mutineer rctreated aft, aud then we
all boarded The woman had not spoken
n word since leaving the ship. She was
pale as death and her eyes glared like
tigers. AS she dropped from the rail to
the deck she cooked the weapon in her
hand, walked aft aud right up to the
mate, and as he ilourshed his cutlass and
commanded her to keep OF, she shot him
dead in his tracks.
"It's the law of the sea,n she quietly
remarked, as she turned to us. "NOw to
rout out those lascarsl"
'But you won't kill them" said our
mate.
''No, not quite ~ was her grim answer,
as she handed him the smoking revol-

Casting look at the dead mutneer,
to be sure that he was dead, she went
forward, took bel1ying pin out Of the
port rail and approaching the hatch,
she called down.
"On deck here, every man OF you, and

They came up one after the other, and
as each man touched the deck she gave
him q crack over the head which made
him see stars. They went down on their
knees and begged for their lives, and
after knocking them about in a liberal
way she finally agreed to extend pardon.
Under her direction the mates body was
searched, and, as she had anticipated, all
the money aboard the schooner was
found. She then ordered the body flung

one of the biggest white sharks ! ever

the Lascars were cleaning the deck the
little woman ran down into her cabin
and brought up do en- bottles of wine,
six boxes of cigars and lot of dried
fruits for us to take back to the ship.
| Then she gave each of us shake of the

/ sprang upon the port rail- held fast to

shouted to our Cap. ain:
"Good-by and God bless you, Capt
Wheeler I've got my craft back, thanks
to you, and I'll keep my eyes open after

Then she jumped down and went to
the wheel and gave orders to get the
schooner on her course, and in a couple
of hours the craft was lost sight of be-

the inside of the route. Two years later

A SONG

There is ever a song somewhere, my dear;
There is ever a something sings alway;
There's tho song of the lark when the skies
are clear,
And the song of the thrush when the skies
are gray.
The sunshine showers across the grain,
And the bluebird trills i'm the orchard tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly. /,
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear,
In the midnight black or the midday blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through.
The buds may blow and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
sere:
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the
snow,
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear.

Well made tarts are very dainty, and
form an acceptable change from pies.
The English tart, so famous in that
country, is baked in deep dish, Gov
cred with an upper crust only, while ours
is the reverse; an under crust is used,

Valuable Coins and Coin Collectors.

Said a noted coin collector recently, in
conversation with a New York San re.
porter: 40 you know that, strange as
it may seem, the oldest coins are not the
rarest, and are the least in demand by
numismatciaus!
The reporter was not aware of the fact,
and inquired why such was the case.
"The vagaries and caprices of the col
lector cannot be explained" replied the
connoisseur. "Why man should prefer
the scarce American dollar of 1901 at
500 (Which is the market value of
good specimcn), TO the beautiful Kgina
coin, the oldest and most artistic pro
duct of the Greek mint, a fine copy of
which may be had for 81, is as difficult a
question to answer as why the handsome
and talented Montague b own married
the unprepossc ssing Miss Dobbs.
There is always a lively demand for
the scarcest cOins.n continued the col
lcctor, 'and it seldom concerns the en-
thusiast whether they are beautiful or
not. 1t is well nigh impossible to begin
now and make a comp.ete collection of
our American coins. TO doit one would
have to possess, beside knowledge of
American numismatics, the patience of
job and purse as long as a Vanderbilt
The colon al coins alone are worth
small fortune. Fabulous prices are paid
for good specimens of early American
coinage. The Pine Tree shilling is worth
from $40 to $50, and in later times there
is the Washington half dollar, valued to-
day at $50. The dollar of 1894 has
brought as much as 500 at an auction
sale The half cent of 1896 is difficult to
get at SO, while the half dollar of the
same date readily sells at $50. The
rarest, however OF all the small pieces, is
the half dime of 1902, which recently
sold for 500
"Where do all the old coins go tol"
queried the reporter.
"To the same place that pins and but
tons do, wherever that may be, replied
the collector. "Of course, all UNIQUE
copies and the finest specimens sooner
or later find their way into public or
private collections or the hands of the
dealers. Th1 largest and finest collec-
tions are owned by DR.. Charles Z. West,
Alexander Balmano, r. III. Lawrence,

A SONG OF MAYTIME.
As fades the night with morning light,

AS fades the night with morning light,
SO winter creeps away;
And in his place with sunny face
There shines the sun OF May.
From over all the cloudy pail
OF chill and darkness drear
Is quick removed, and spring is proved
Her warmth and light are here,
From out the South with perfumed mouth
The summer whispers, "Herer
And sweet and low the bree1es blow
As soft she treadeth near.
Day after day the sky is gay
With tender tints of blue;
On airy wings the robin sings,
And wooi-birds call and coo.
Within our hearts, too, life imparts
A gentle throb and thrill,
And bitter strife no longer rife,
Peace, Love, our bosoms flll
