pretty and warm. Of course others are
much dearer. Next % the sedingOtos in
importance are the wraps and jackets
Many Of each are trimmed with fur, but
the richest and most elegant trimming
for such garments IS braiding, which Is
very much worn this winter The wrap
which is presented here has q pointed
vest front and is heavily braided in SOU
taohe braid. Wraps of black cloth,
cashmere, serge or Henrietta cloth
are all elegant braided, and dark
blue braided with black is very
rich. In braiding garments the SOU
tache should be laid on very closely
where it is in straight lines The walk
ing jacket is Ornamented with an ap-
plique OF chamois skin, bordered with
black soutache. This is only suitable TO
young lady.
Many ladies like to wear q black or
dark cloth suit without a wrap, even in
the coolest Of weather, either to show
their friends that they do not mind the
cold or for the reason that they do not
like hC4Vy wraps. For such here Is a
handsome black ladies' cloth costume,
trimmed with q braided pattern in vest
and on the skirt. Under this the lady
usually does, and always should, wear q
chamOis vest if she wears no wraps.
The ample and graceful Russian red
ingote worn by the young lady Is made

A Uniane Advertisement.

Some years ago, when Mr.. Bonner be-
came worn out with the fatigue of hard
work, he purchased a place in the coun-
try. He had not been there Il great
while when the following appeared in
the Ledqer under the heading, "a
country seat for sale where there is fever
and ague:"
| hereby offer TO sell my country seat at
Wes5 Morrisauia, near Melrose Station, where
| have lived for the past three summers, but
do not think / could live much longer.
have h ard that people looking for a place to
purchase could never find one where they
have chills and fever. They always have it
about a mile or a mile and a half or two
miles away, but never right there at the
place that is for sale Now, offer for sale
Notwithstanding rare-the precise. exact
spot where the fever and ague is. / will
warrant it to be there. Three of my children

premonitory symptoms, and | have a suf-
ticient inkling of it myself Any doctor with
a large family, with specific for fever and
ague would find it a most eligible situation.
The neighhorhood is full of the disease, and
if he could keep it out OF his own family
it would give him reputation which would
assure his future Besides the fever and
agusthe estate consists of a fine double house
with modern conveniences and improve
ments, such as hot and cold water, furnace,
range, etc. ADOuttWO acres or lanu, a pretty
fair barn, and some excellent box stalls for
horses. 1t is really beautiful place The
grounds are handsomely laid out and covered
with shrubbeTy and trees of the choicest
kind. The trees not only afford delightful
shade, but a nice harbor for mosquito 5.

get fever and ague and become shaky. Those
wishing to purchase will please apply imme-

ROBERT BONNER.
p. S.-The town authorities have begun to
make alterations in the streets adjoining
and if they drain the place as well as they do
the pockets of the landholders, it may become
healthy.
This advertisements created quite a
sensation at the time, and was copied in
the daily papers all over the country.

Useful Hints.

Use good soap in the kitchen, as it
saves the hands.
salt dissolved in alcohol will remove
grease spots from cloth.
Rub the tea kettle with kerosene and
polish with dry flannel cloth.
Flour should be kept in barrel, with
a flour scoop to dip it and sieve to
sift it.
Ceilings that have been smoked by a
kerosene lamp should be washed oil with
soda water.
Cold sliced potatoes fry and taste bet
ter by sprinklng a teaspoonful OF flour
over them while frying.
4 hand ONE effect is obtained by COW
ering the ceiling with cane strips and the
wall with mating. 1t is rich looking,
yet it is cheap.
Ad excellent way ST cooking eggs is to
break them in boiling milk without beat
ing. Cook slowly, occasionally stirring,
aud when done add pepper, salt aud
butter.
There should be a small table about
the height of the range for use as rest
ing place for utensils when ONE cites,
griddle cakes, etc, are made 1t should
be covered W tn zinc.
For removing stains from oil cloth and
zinc use kerosene. 1t will soon evaporate
and leave no odor Kerosene may safely
be applied to the most delicate furn ture
aud carpets for exterminating moths.
Too many of us spoil tea instead of
making it palatable. 1t is boiled until
it tastes insipid. The process of making
a good cup of tea is so simple that it IS
surprising to find a housewife who does
not understand it. Yet there are many
such. Heat a black eartheuware teapot.
Put into it teaspoonful of tea leaves
and pour over it 4 pint of freshly boiled
water. Let it stand two minutes on the
back of the range where it will not boil.
Aud that is all there is to it, If it boils
it will become bitter and no delicate
palate will accept it as tea.

This is my favorite way of cooking
chicken, says Mrs. Jewell in the Prairie
Farmer. They are nj e roasted or boiled
or fricasseed, but a good pie is better
than them all. prepare it as follows:
Cut up one or two plump young chicken,
and stew them neary done in water
enough to come up well around, but not
over them Then skim out the chicken,
season the broth to tas with pepper and
salt, thicken it with large tablespoon
full of flour rubbed smooth in two table.
spoonfuls butter, and the yolk OF an
egg. For the crust, rub into three tea
cupfuls of -four two thirds cup of butter,
or butter and lard together, one tea
spoonful baking powder, and as much
salt; add water enough to roll out with,
out sticking. Keep the materials Cor the
crust as cool as possible. Roll out and
fold the paste over upon itself three or
four times, roll again and rereat this
process if a tlaky crust is desired. Next
line the s dies, but not the bottom, of Il
deep pudding-dish, with the pastry. Lay
the pieces of chicken in smoothly, sea-
soning them with salt and pepper, as
needed; pour the gravy over and cover
with pretty thi. crust. Leave an open
ing in the center for c escape OF steam,
pinch the edges closely t. keep in the
gravy, and bake in IA good oven from
forty to foTty-fve minutes. 1t is always
well to reserve some gravy to send to the
table in tureen, to be served with the
pie should it happen to have cooke
away the gravy too much as it is quite
apt to do.
