A family from out of town were visiting
south side friends recently. The youngest of
the visitors was a baby about a year old,
whose most noticeable feature was her eyes.
There were extraordinarily large and bulged
out of her little head in a most startling man
ner This popularity in physical make up
was a source of great wonder to the little son
of the host and hostess. He seemed never to
tire of looking at these bullying orbs. One
day his curiosity got the better of him, and
he blurted cut: Mamma, what's the matter
with that baby's eyes-Im sure they don't fit
her. Chicago Herald.

paign of 1870 the number of regimental colors
pierced was Isl. The flag of the Seventh

CARE OF THE COFFEE-POT,

Not even mlk-pans require more scru-
pulous care than the coffee-pot. 1t may
be rinsed after each time of using and yet
be far from clean. There is an oily prop
erty about coffee which adheres in spite
of rinsing out. You can see this Tor
yourself by taking almost any coffee-pot
that has been some time in use (unless it
has been very carefully kept and you
will find clinging to it a coat of black
grease (not BROWN; this will come of if
you rub cloth around the inside. Now,
this deposit, for instance, for some rea-
son which should like to have explain
ed, destroys the fragrance, color and ila-
yor of coffee. If you see your coffee
looks black-brown instead of ruddy
brown you will know it will be flavor
less, however strong. TO keep this black
oil from the pot it must be daily washed
mot rnsed), scalded and dried. Each
piece of French coflee-pot should be sep
arately dried before it is put away. If
packed together wet the strainers will in
time give metallic taste. Another rea-
son for great care is that without it the
strainers get clogged and the coffee will
not go through. If you find that your
cofiee-pot has been neglected put piece
of washing soda as large as hickory nut
into hot water; set the strainers in it let
them stand on the stove for hours: put
the same in the cotfee-pot; then rub and
brush both till the wire gauze is clear
and all the black removed; then run boil
ing water slowly through, and dry it.
Let the care be daily afterwards. The
grease will not form, nor will the gauze
fill up if pint or so of boiling water is
poured through every morning and it is
dried before being put away. Cold wa
ter is worse than useless, as it sets the
oil. Sometimes the coflee-potis put away
exactly as it leaves the table, with left
