Make Your Own Candy.

Now is the joyous season of the
year when, if YOU are only acquainted
with the precious secret of their prep
aration, you can make for yourself
with ten minutes work candies more
delicious than were ever purchased
at the most expensive confectioners.
The latter never have this particular
sort of candies for sale because they
will not keep. But, fresh-cooked.
they are morsels for the gods, and
this is the way to make them:
Take some big strawberries, ripe
but firm, and hull them. Then mix
two cupfuls of granulated sugar with
a little less than one cupful of cold
water. Put the mixture on hot fire
and let it boil hard, without stirring,
until spoonful dropped into cold
water crystalizes to the brittle point
Immediately. Now take it off the
fire and pour it into cups, previously
warmed in the oven. Dip the straw
berries one by one into this hot solu-
tion as quickly as possible, fishing
them out with forks and laying them
on creased tin pans.
The hriefest sort of an immersion
will be sufficient to give each berry
the desired coating of sugar candy.
Finally, set the pans on the ice IN
the refrigerator, and as soon as the
fruit is cold it will be ready to eat.
Perhaps "gobble'' would be more
appropriate word, considering the
eagerness with which such strawber-
ries are usually consumed. In very
truth, they are not rivaled by any
other kind of sugar plums, as you
will yourself confess if you try them.
Malaga grapes and nuts as we'll may
be treated in the same way.

The Salt of the Earth.

If the feet are tender or painful af-
ter long standing, great relief can be
had by bathing them in salt and wa
ter. A handful of salt to a gallon of
water is the right proportion. Have
the water as hot as can comfortably
be borne. immense the feet and
throw the water over the legs as far
as the knees with the hands. When
the water becomes too cool rub brisk
ly with flesh towel. This method,
if used night and morning, will cure
neuralgia of the feet.
Carpets may be greatly frightened
by first sweeping thoroughly, and
then going over them with a clean
cloth and clear salt and water. Use
a cupful of coarse salt to large ba-
sin of water.
Salt as a tooth powder is better
than almost anything that can be
bought. 1t keeps the teeth brilliant
ly white and the gums hard and rosy.
If after having a tooth pulled the
mouth is filled with salt and water,
it will allay the danger of having a
hemorrhage.
To clean willow furniture use salt
and water. Apply it with a nail
brush, scrub we'll and dry thoroughly.
When broiling steak, throw lit
tie salt on the co ais and the blaze
from dripping fat will not annoy
Damp salt will remove the discol-
grafton of cups and saucers caused
by tea and careless washing
Brass work can be kept beautiful
ly bright by rubbing with salt and
vinegar.
Wash the mica of the stove doors
with salt and vinegar.
Salt in whitewash will make it
stick better.
Salt and water clean willow furni-

Hints to Housekeepers.

Was silk hose in warm boraX wa
ter, but never iron them.
Old tablecloths worn thin make ex-
ce llent dish towels.
Leather chair seats may be revived
by rubbing them with well-beaten
white of egg.
Really good butter is sometimes
spoiled by the use of inferior salt.
Soft tissue paper is the best for
polishing mirrors. This may also be
used for polishing or drying window
glass.
If the odor of cabbage is waited to
the sitting-room or parlor, it can be
destroyed by boiling a little vinegar
in cup, which can be poured over
the cabbage before it is served, if
liked, or put in pinch of soda or
lump of charcoal with the salt.
For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish for
a burn than collodion, and being al
ways at hand can be applied imme-
diately. 1t is also more cooling than
the sweet oil and cotton which
was formerly supposed to be the sur
est application to allay the smarting
pain.
Cuffs laundried at home fail to
please because they are ironed out
fiat, and when the buttons are put in
they blister and wrinkle. This can
be avoided if the laundress irons the
cuff until it is perfectly dry, then
takes the broad end of the fiatiron,
and pressing very hard on the edge,
places it at one end of the cuff and
slowly goes over its whole length.
The cuff will roll as the iron leaves
it. This is SO simple an operation
that one can succeed the first time it
is tried.

How She Attracted Notice

This little incident-it is q true
story-occurred a few years ago in
Philadelphia.
The owner of large retail store
gave holiday to all his employees,
in the middle of June. Cashiers,
foremen, statesmen and women, cash
boys and porters, all were invited to
spend the day on the grounds of the
country seat owned by their employ
er. Tents were erected, bOuntiful
dinner and supper were provided,
a band of music was stationed in the
grove, and special trains were char
tered to carry the guests to the coun-
try and home again.
Nothing else was talked of for
weeks before the happy day. The
saleswomen, most of whom were
young, auxiously planned their dress
es, and bought cheap and pretty mus
Inns, which they made up in the eve
nings, that they might look fresh and
gay. Even the cash-boys bought
new cravats and hats for the great
occasion. There was one girl, whom
we shall call Jane, who could not in
dulge herself in any pretty bit of
finery. She was the only child of a
widowed mother who was paralyzed.
Jane was quick and industrious, but
she had been but few months in
the store and her wages barely kept
her and her mother from want.
"What shall you wear?" said the
girl who stood next her behind the
counter. 81 bought such lovely
blue lawn"
81 have nothing but this said
Jane, glancing down at her rusty
black merino.
"But that is winter dress You'll
melt, child. There'll be dancing
and boating and croquet. You must
have a summer gown, or else don't
GO
Girls of Is like pretty gowns.
Jane said nothing for few minutes.
81 shall wear this,' she said firmly.
"And l think l will go. Mother
wishes it"
"But you can't dance OF play GRO
quet in that %
cit is always fun to see other peo-
pie have fun" said Jane, bravely.
The day came, bright and hot, and
Jane went in her heavy, well-darned
dress. She gave up all idea of
'sfun" for herself and set to work to
help the others find it. On the cars
she busted herself in finding seats for
the little girls and helping the SER
wants with the baskets of provisions.
On the grounds she started games
for the children, ran to lay the table,
brought water to the old ladies', was
ready to pin up torn gowns, or to APP
plaud "good BALL. she laughed
and was happy and friendly all the
| time. She did not dance nor play
but she was surrounded by a cheer
full, merry group wherever she went.
On the way home to town the en-
plover, who was a shrewd business
man, beckoned to his superintendent.
ssThere is one girl here whose
friendly, polite, manner is very re-
markabIe. She will be valuable to
me as saleswoman. Give her a
good position. That young woman
in black" and he pointed her out.
The next day Jane was promoted
into one of the most important de-
partments, and since that time hel
success has been steady.
The good humor and kindness Of
heart which enabled her to ''find fun
in seeing others have fun were the
best capital for her in her business.
She had the courage too. tnaisregaId

Courage which rarely fails to meet

Tins Dove.

One day when little Tim Ray was
picking berries in field, he found a
dove with broken wing. He carried
it home and bound the wing close to
the doves side with a linen band.
| Soon the wing was as well as ever,
and the dove could fly again; but it
did not want to fly away from Tim,
for it had grown very tame. Tim
was glad to have it stay, for he had
no pets nor toys.
When he went to pick berries the
dove would go too, sitting on his
shoulder. Tim named it Fairy, and
taught it to come at his call, and to
eat from his hand. At night the
dove would sometimes roost on the
head of Tins bed.
The next winter Tins mother was
taken very sick. There was no one
to nurse her but Tim and when she
grew worse, day after day, and could
not eat anything, Tim called doc
tor to come and see her.
"She will get well if she has good
food" said the doctor. 'sShe must
have some chicken soup, or meat
broth.
Tim had no money to buy meat,
for his mother was very poor. But
he thought at once of his dove. He
knew that it would make good broth,
but he could not bear to kill it.
He took the little bird in his hands
and carried it to a neighbor across
the road.
''Please kill my dove, and make
my mother some BROTH he said ;
ssfor she is so sick, and she has
nothing to eat
Then he ran back home very fast,
and tried not to think of his poor lit
tie dove. He did not want his moth
er to see him cry, for then she would
say that the bird must not be killed.
In about an hour the neighbor
brought some good hot broth; and
when Tins mother had taken it, she
said she felt almost we'll again.
"You shall have some more tomor-
row, ''said the woman. 81 will make
broth for you until you are quite
WELL"
Tim followed the woman to the
door as she went out, and said, so
that his mother could not hear, that
he had no more doves, and that he
did not know how to get meat for
more broth. But before the neigh
Dor could speak, there was little
rustic of wings, and Fairy flew in
and lighted on Tins shoulder
"You see did not kill your dove, %
said the woman. 81 made the broth
from a chicken, and l have plenty
more at home. You are a good boy
to be willing to have your pet dove
killed to make broth for your moth
en-"
How happy Tim was He loved
his dove better than ever, now that
he had it back again. His mother
did not know until she was quite
we'll how near she had come to eating
poor little Fairy. -Hdaper's Third

What is Scrofula

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, accumu-
lating in the glands of the neck. produces un-
slightly Jumps swellings; which causes painful
running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which
developes ulcers in the eyes, ears or nose, often
causing blindness deafness; which is the origin
of pnples, cancerous growths, or many other
manifestations usually ascribed to humors
1t is formidable enemy than consumption
or cancer alone, for serofula combines the worst
possible features of BOTH Being the most ancient,
it is the general of all diseases affections
FOR very few persons are entirely free from it.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods Sarsa-
oarilla, which, by the cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar medicine
for this disease. For all affections of the blood
Hoods Sarsaparil1a is unequalled, and some OF the
cures it has effected are really wonderful. IL You
suffer from serofula in any of its various FORMS
be sure to give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial
