That Little Tickling

In YOUR throat which makes you cough
once in a while and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catsIrn,
and as catarrh is a constitutional disease
the ordinary cough medicines all fail to hit
the spot. What you need is cOnstitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Ssrsapa,rlila.
Many people who have taken this medicine
for scrofuls, dyspepsia, loss of appetite;
and other troubles, have been surprised
that it should cure this troublesome cough.
Bat to know the actual cause Of the cough
is to solve the mystery. Many cases OF
consumption can be traced back to the
neglect of some such slight affection as
this. Consumption can be controlled IN IN
its early stages, and the effect OF HOOD,
Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood, ouila-

hope of meeting La Blanche, and has con-

test will be a hot one. Young Mitchell

Dainty Desserts Of Apples.

Now that winter is well under way, our
supply Of fresh domestic fruits is exhausted,
except the homely but always welcome apple;
but this is tower of strength to the ingeni-
Gus cook, for it can be served in numberless
attractive and palatable forms Here are
one or two:
Apple Cream.-Peel and core six large
apples; boil them in little water, with two
ounces of raisins and the grated rind of
lemon, till quite soft; when cold add glass
Of sherry. Lay the mixture in pie dish,
beat up the whites of three eggs with little
sugar to a stiff froth, spread it over the
apples and bake in a slow oven.
Apple Custard. Lay some stewed apples in
q deep pie dish, if not already sweetened,
strew some sugar over them. Make custard
with four eggs, one pint of milk, and flavor
ing to taste, and, Of course, a little sugar;
pour it over the apples strew some powdered
cinnamon or nutmeg on the top, and bake it.
An excellent dish for children
Apple Meringue Put teacupful of rice
in saucepan with one pint of sweetened
milk, and let it simmer till quite tender, turn
it into basin, mix with it the beaten yolks
of two eggs return it to the saucepan, and
boil it up again once or twice; then pile it high
in glass dish. when cool spread it all over
with stewed apples Whip the whites of the
two eggs to a stiff froth. mix with them a
small quantity of sugar and lay this icing
over the apples

The Ho@e Spun Linen Sheets Of Our
GRANDMOTHER.
Fancy workers who happen to own old
linen home spun sheets, such as are put away
In forgotten trunks In many an old garrett,
may think themselves fortunate, says The
Home Maker, for few modern materials are
better subjects for needle work. II q sheet
of this kind is in good order, 1t can be made
into beautiful quilt by making it very much
smaller, as an ornamental bed cover Is not
designed to tuck in or hang very far over.
The edge on each side may be fringed out
and tied, or the edges may be hemmed and
slightly gathered frill Of torchon lace added
Far enough from the edge to come within tho
square defined by the mattress broad pattern
in large design is drawn and worked in out
line stitch with heavy rope silk in one or at
most two shades. In the middle of the quilt
outline with the same color a large shield.
Within this shield work name or initAls
and darn all the plain part of the shield
with contrasting shade Of silk.
II a sheet is too far demoralized to use in
this way, 1t may be torn into strips and each
strip decorated with running pattern in
outline stitch. These strips are hemmed and
Joined to alternate stripes Of antique or
torchon lace inserting, or the inserting may
be knitted or crochetted, II time Is not par
amount object.
For bureau covers, toilet mats, chair scarfs
and cushions, this old linen Is admirable. At
some Of the exchanges for woman's work,
highly decorated curtains are shown Of the
same material which hangs in beautiful
folds

namely, Grace Darling. It includes sailors
jacket and skirt in white and red tennis fan
mel, loose front, and tucked up drapery in

bands round the short sleeves to correspond,
trimmed with blue braid; black cashmere
tie; cloth cap encircled with a ribbon, on
which is inscribed the name of boat; rope
and life buoy at the side.
The other figure in cut No. 2 shows cor
rect dress for Druidess. The long, flowing
dress may be Of white China Grape, nuns
yelling or Indian silk, and is confined at the
waist with girdle This white dress is
draped over gray satin skirt. An oak leaf
wreath is on the head

light Night" and consists of long dress and
a long veil, both of black tulle, studded with

Fur Lined Garments,


Fur Innings are now limited almost entirely
to the useful circulars with squirrel lock lin
ings, and to the gay opera cloaks that are
lined with the white crinkled fleece of the
Chinese mandarin lamb The circulars, says
Harper's Bazaar, are of Ottoman silk or of
black camels hair, and are improved by hav
ing an inner front fastened from top to bot
tom, with armholes in the outer cloak; they
are trimmed down the fronts, over the arm
holes and have collar Of fur, but are not
trimmed at the foot, as that would add to
their weight. Opera cloaks are long Russian
coats of fine twilled wool in the new rosewood
shades, with white lamb skin lining and col
lar, or else they are more loosely shaped, with
square or flowing sleeves, and are made of pale
gray velvet, with white mandarin collar
and lining, or Of plush lined and trimmed with
chinchilla, or the cloak may be merely warmly
wadded, and its only fur be the rich sable
used for it's shawl collar and border Short
opera cloaks in the mantle shapes are made
of gay red or blue striped velvets, matelasse,
or plush, and trimmed with the long furs,
black fox, bear, silver fox, badger, etc.
Cloth garments that are trimmed with fur
are made up in nearly all the designs used for
fur wraps, thus short jackets are of blue or
black diagonal cloth, fitted by tailor, and
trimmed with collar, cuffs and vest, or with
long front rows of plucked beaver fur; or else
a black camel's hair cloth jacket has a wide
roll or binding of black Persian lamb skin
all around it, making it suitable for mourn
ing wrap, while the long Russian coats are
made of the softest diagonal cloths-blue,
green, or rosewood in color-trimmed with
shawl collar and lengthwise rows of black
marten, or some other fur with long fleece.

softening Water for the Laundry.

An authority on softeninA water, making
soap and kindred matters says: For all wash
ing and cleansing operations it is indispens-
able, II good and economical results are to be
obtained, first to soften the water before us
ing soap Of any kind Softening water sim
ply consists in removing the soluble lime
salts with which all water Except pure rain
water) is more or less impregnated. If this
is not done the soluble lime forms an insolu-
BILE lime soap from the decomposition Of the
soap used for washing. This substance Is
greasy, sticky, oily compound, perfectly in
soluble and more difficult to wash away af-
forwards by any treatment. It is this that
causes the yellow grayish deposit on the
edges Of collars and cuffs washed simply with
hard water and soap, and the sticky, greasy
deposit on wool when treated In similar
manner and also on the sides and edges Of all
washing machines.
It is a most uneconomical proceeding to
wash anything in water and soap alone with
out previously softening the water Not .
particle Of soap can become available for
washing purposes until all the added lime in
the water has combined with the amount of
soap it requires to form the insoluble lime
soap. As compared with the pure 9S per
cent. powdered caustic soda, such as the
"Greenbank'' brand, 1t requires twelve
pounds Of the very finest pure soap, or twenty
to thirty pounds Of ordinary soap, such as
is usually sold to manufacturers, to do the
same work that can be done with one pound
of this soda.

Beef Drippings for Cooking Purposes.

Good beef dripping is better than Lard for
some kinds Of pastry and for frying purposes,
though for the latter use it burns sooner than
lard. Clarity it BY pouring boiling water on
it as it is taken from the dripping pan, letting
it stand till cold and firm; then taking out
the cake Of fat and scraping Off the impuri-
ties from the bottom; the rest win be clean
and sweet. Bacon fat can also be used in the
place Of lard, but mvtton drippinGs viii anlY
answer for frying purposes, and many cooks
will not use them even for that on account of
the flavor they impart.
