About Mushrooms.

1t is a curious thing that concerning the
mushroom, which is to be found everywhere
in such abundance, and which would make
SO valuable an article of food if properly
used, Americans are generally so ignorant
that as a rule they cannot tell it from a
toadstooL Certain people will claim that
anything with gills-parallel edges lining all
the under side-is edible, but will not eat it
themselves; others claim that the gill must
be of a particular color. These will have
only the mushroom grown in a cellar, those
only the mushroom grown with nothing be-
tween it and the sky. The mushroom loved
in Italy is rejected in England, and the best
English mushroom of all is regarded in Italy
as Of the same nature as the evil eye. 1t
would be well worth while to have some in
struetion made common as to the general ma
ture of this growth, the innocence of some
species and the deleterious quality of others

HnnsekernerS' Lists.

1t is often helpful, especially in the busy,
house cleaning time, TO make a list of inn
portant things you mean to do or have done,
as, for example, mending a broken chair,
having a troublesome door planed, making a
new rag bag, plastering a mouse hole, and
various things of the sort, which will never
be done if you do not make a list, and in all
probability will if you do. Always scratch
off the things which you have accomplished,
and you will take great pride, if your list Is
long one, in seeing it grow shorter and
shorter, until all the troublesome, worrying
little things are finally done
If you are to en- terrain, make list of your
dinner, tea or supper, as the case may be,
and make it in season If your guests are
many, it may be well, sometimes, to make a
list of guests, that you may plan to have con-
genial people together, for a great deal of
the success of any gathering depends upon
combination, not only of food, but of people
as well
To those not accustomed to the use of lists,
q first trial may seem too much trouble, but
it has always been my experience that the
system and order resulting from the habit
save not only great deal of time, but worry
and mistakes as we'll Havssways blocks ot

Smiles When She Speaks.

The power of unconscious influence was
illustrated recently by little incident that
occurred in eastern Massachusetts,
A lady called at the house of a neighbor on
an errand; but as the family was away, she
asked the hired man to tell his employer she
would call again. Being in hurry, and not
thinking but that the man knew who she was,
she did not leave her name The lady of the
house returned before the rest of the family,
and the man told her that lady had been
there who said she would call again
Who was itP' inquired Mrs. H.
"Oh, don't know her NAME" replied the
man.
But you should have asked her, said Mrs.
H., 80 we should know who had been here
Can't you tell me anything by which cal

want had been noticed and remembered,
leaving a sunbeam in that mans heart.

Money Savers.

1t is remarkable how saving some persons
become as soon as they have secured a little
sum of money above their immediate require
ments. The greed for more seems to fasten
its fangs deeper and deeper in proportion to
the growth of the surplus. OF course per
son securing a large sum all at once may not
DO affected that way, but may very likely be
in just as big hurry to squander it. One
whosis accumulating it gradually, though, is
always miserly inclined Curiously enough,
too, the same person never tries TO economic

loftily that women knew nothing about bust

tie property myself, just as thought best.
1t wasn't very much to begin with, but by
careful investments and by watching the
markets, so as to know when to buy and
when to sell, I've got enough to be perfectly
independent of circumstances if my husband
were taken away and all his property lost.
And still women don't know anything about
business Don't theyl I'll put my own abil-

neglected my home or my family either.
I've been a domestic woman and a business
woman, although in the latter capacity

has told all the same. My husband doesn't
know how successful l have been. He
watches my proceedings with a patronizing

W. althx Women in Plain Attlre.

Some of the richest women are the least ex,
uavagant III their clothes, as is the case, for
example, with Old Mrs. W H. Vanderbilt,
who does not spend above 81 $3.50 a year, and
the late Mrs. Gould not so much. Nelly
Gould, who will inherit Sl5UOU,OOO or
$2O,OOO,OO0, and already has an income OF
10000 year, spends about $500 in dress
The late Mrs. a. T. Stewart was a fortune to
the dressnakers, who put away $4,000 or
$4,000 year on her fuTbelOwS. When she
died and an inventory of her effects was
taken her great white mausoeum of a house
on Fifth avenue was found to be overrun
with the most marvellous amount of clOthes
laces, furs, bonnets and jewels, most of them
very youthful in appearance. though she was
over 10 years of age
Mrs. Aston dresses with u solemn, hand
some expensiveness at the cost of $1,000 or
$4,000 d year, and all of the younger Wander
bilt women spend great deal of money on
their clothes. Mrs. George Gould, who was
Edith Kingdom, the actress, and who has
been the quietest and most careful of women
since her marriage, spends money like water
when it comes to a question of clothes, and
must put good $4,000 year in the hands
of the dreSsmakers. Her dreSsmaker, by the
way, is a woman who had good deal of So
cial position, but who, when financial mis-.
fortunes came, followed the example English
women of rank have set OF late years. and
went into the milliners business. York

To Keen Cool.

But some one asks: How am | to keep my
house cool when | have such small rooms,
and must have a fire" Buy an alcohol
stove; you can accomplish wonders with it,
aud see if all the family are not cooler for it.
Study the ventilation of your rooms. An
awning over a very sunny window or door
will add greatly to your comfort. A piazza
chair, and hammock or a swing, together
with a few vines, will make a charming
place of your unused piazza, or even Of your
porch.
Enlist the other members of the household
in your plans for family comfort and cool
ness. You will be surprised at the happiness
they will feel as from time to time they con-
tribute their share, perhaps quaint or rare
fan, a japanese screen or some piece of brio
a-brac for "home"
During the warm days try to have at each
meal one very tempting, cool dish. Fruit is
best for breakfast. Rice pudding, also those
of tapioca or gelatine, which have been set
until cold are delicious. Decorated with
flowers and green leaves the table is far more
attractive than if left unadorned. Have
some flowers in each room if possible 1t will
rest you to look at them
Even a clean towel df you have no light
tides spread over the bright cover of the
rocking chair invites one to take a seat by its
very suggestion Of comfort and GOODNESS.
Make the best of what you have, and use
everything to the best advantage Let home
be just as cool and inviting as you can make
it, and ere you are aware summer with its
warm days will have passed. Ruth H. Net
