KEEP THEM HOT.

There are four things that should not
be allowed to drop out of view. The

BLEACHED OR OLIVE {?

Southern Distinctions Between Diff
ferent Types of Blonde Beauty.
The question as to whether the blonde
or brunette style of beauty is preferable
is probably one that will never be finally
decided, snys the Denver NetoS. But
brunettes with bleaohed hair are certainly
not attractive while blondes with black
eyes may be.
In New Orleans they have q term which
fills a long-Felt want. as it expresses q
style OF beauty for which there are not
MANY claimants in this country. e.,
dark eyes and light hair.
The West is satisfied with two classes
qualified either by terms Of - bleached u
or ~"olive, " and this distinction in shades
seems 10 answer every purpose.

Care Of LAMBS,

Whatever about the house is dull,
don't let it be the scissors or shears used
for trimming the lamp wicks. Some
women appear to attach no importance
to this point, not thinking thai. in order
to have smooth cut, the instrument
must be sharp. have tried both round
and square ends for wicks, und favor
square ones. The flame is much broader;
but the corners must be perfectly even
and smooth, else when the wick is
turned up high, it will smoke. The
person lighting lamp should be careful
not to touch the wick with the match,
as it has q tendency to roughen or
spread it. Hold the match over the
wick, very close to it, and wait until the
flame reaches it. Keep the wick turned
down below the top of the burner except
when in u.c. II this is done, and there is
no leak about the fixture, there is no
reason why, if the Jumps are carefully
wiped every morning, there should be
oil on the outside by evening. BY the
way, why is it that so many housekeep-
ers persist in Keeping their common
lamps on the shelf behind the kitchen or
sitting-room stove, the very dirtiest
place to be found2 If in the kitchen,
they are covered with moisture from
boiling water, etc., and dust and smoke
arising from the stove. Why not put
them in a closet. or, if that is not con-
venient, have a shelf away from the
stove2 If kept in cold closet in the
winter, of course they should be taken
out and warmed before being lighted,
lest the chimneys should crack. Yanket

cheaply. Take either white or red cab
bage, CIT it fine and lay it in tin tub or
jar; cover the bottom with a thin
sprinkling of fine salt, then layer of cut
cabbage, then salt, in alternate layers
till the tub is full, having salt on the
top: then, with a potato -masher, crowd
it down solid, cover up tightly, and in a
few weeks it will be ready for use. 1t is
ni,e 10 cook in pork drip or to eat with
meats of all kinds in late fall and win
ter, and there is no trouble in keeping
it If the air is excluded. 1t is strictly Il
German dish. but Americans con enjoy
aud appreciate it just as we'll as if it
originated in the United States. Pic
caliIly is made here almost precisely
like the receipt in @ recent Writ.
Picked apples, plums and apricots are
made after the same rules as sweet
pickles, and not only look very pretty
