DONG UP CURTAINS.-A more eco
nomical method of doing up curtains
than to send them to laundry is deS-
cribed ly a good housekeeper as follows:
Dust them thoroughly, and if there are
any breaks or tears in them, me them
before washing. DO not wiring them,
but p IS through 4 clothes wringer,
keeping them straight; boil few min
uies, then rinse in cold water. Blue
the starch a trifie, but do not make
them too stiff; then lay sheets on the
floor and spread the curtains on them,
taking care to stretch the work straight
and true. Pin the edges on the sheet
and let them lay till perfectly dry, and
you will be convinced that home laun-
drying of nice curtains is far preferable
TO hiring them done up, as they will
last longer and look nicer than when
pressed by hot irons.

A scANr tesspoonful of sugar added
to each pint of meat gravy, imparts
delicious flavor that can not be obtained
in any other way. 1t is also an i'm
provement to soups, if added in the
same proportion. If meat has been
allowed to stand little too long before
it was cooked, sprinkle little sugar
over it before removing it from the fire,
and the unpalatable taste Will be re-
moved. A teaspoon of sugar to every
pint of milk should always be used
when the milk is to be thickened with
corn meal. Oatmeal is much improved
if sugar is put in it while it is cooking,
instead of being put on it at the table.

The Sanitary Neses of April 6 calls

A CHEAP CoRN-CRIB.-This Is the
plan for a courthouse. The patent upon
which has just expired. 1t is intended
tor use where large quantiti,s Of com
are rais d. and where shoveling IN and
getting al the grain is OF Importance.
Portions of one side of the roof are
hinged IN such way that upon driving
beside the CRIB the load can be shoveled
in at the roof, and the roof afterward
made tight again. An inclined floor,
and AN ncliued pate running the ell e.
tire length of the crib, naturally lead it
10 the trough on the bottom. outside
whence it is taken by means of shoyels
or scoops. As fast as il is removed, that
remaining in the crib takes its place,
the incliues causing the grain to grayi-
tate into the trough. The narrow in
cline regulates the flow of the corn, ard
prevents it from clogginr willie en- er-
ing the though. Such cribs can be made
of slabs or of any cheap material, and
are as useful as more expensive build
ings in new countries where lumber is
scarce. OF course they cannot be as
high as Eastern corn-cribs il il is
expected TO throw the corn in through
the roof. Neither will the cheap condi-
tion of the building warrant its being
erected to any great height, for il might
thus catch the winds and he demol-
iShed.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.
uOPAL BASKETS

The most popular ornamental baskets
for florists use seem Just now TO be
rather large and shallow ones, with tall
handles. bent to a rectangular shape,
which are covered, body and handle
both. with folds OF ribbon 1t Is a
question whether IT Is as tasteful to use
such an extent of color in connection
with flowers as to use the simple, har-
monious tone of unco!ored straw
Nevertheless, the public always fancies
new and effective" arrangements, and
when the color of the ribbon contrasts
properly with that of the flowers, and
too many bows and streamers are not
employed. these baskets are distinctly
better than many We have seen IN re-
cent years. The fashion seems to have
come from France, where baskets OF
this kind are often used to contain two
or three pots with growing plants, the
pots themselves being covered from
sight with trimmings of green Sonre-
thing may be learned from ParIsian
florists as regards the number of bios
SONS which should be used. Too often
in this country we see more blossoms
and less foliage than is desirable, while
in Paris, even when cut flowers are
used, four or six fine specimens relieved
against great mass of green, are pre-
ferred to a more compact display IN
which the beauty of individual flowers
cannot be SO well revealed.
