Keep the Conee.pot CIean.

Not even milk-pans require more
scrupulo~s care than the coffee pot.

using, and yet be far from clean.
There is an oily property about coffee
which adheres in spite of rinsing out

been some time in use (unless it has
been very cleanly kept) and you will
find clinglng to it black grease mot
brown; this will come off if you will
rub cloth around the inside. Now,
this deposit, for instance, for some
reason which l would like to have ex-
planned, destroys the fragrance, color
and flavor of coffee. Ifyou see your
coffee looks black-brown instead of
ruddy- brown, you will know it is
asvorless, however strong. To keep
this black oil from the pot, it must be
daily washed (not rinsed), sealded and
dried. Each peace of French coffee
pot must be seperately dried before it
is put away. II packed together wet
the strainers will in time give metal
ic taste. Another reason Is that with
out it the strainers get clogged and
the coffee will not go through. If
you find that your coffee-pot has been
neglected put piece of washing soda
as large as a hickory nut into hot
water; set the strainers in it; let them
stand on the stove for hours; put the
same in the coffee-pot; then rub and
brush both till the gauze is clear and
all the black removed; then run boil
ing water slowly through, and dry it.
Let the care be daily afterward. The
grease will not form, nor will the
cause fill up, if pint or so of boiling
water is poured through every morn
ing and it is dried before being put
away. Cold water is worse than use
less, as it sets tho oil, Sometimes the
coffee pot is put away exactly as ii

An old oil producer, who has seen the
effects of burning petroleum, declares the
novel scheme of coast defense by flood
ing the harbors with blazing oil, is not
only practicable but would afford splen-
did protection. "We have oil in plen-
ty," he says. "Lima (Ohio) oil is worth
about Is cents a barrel, and there is no
limit to the quantity, and that is about
all it is fit for. 1t is so heavily i:npreg-
mated with sulphur 1 think the odor Of
one barrel, judiciously distributed
around British man-of-war, would
send her scudding home-at all events,
the bows of ship, would do more
damage than a shot through her mid
ships" Gen. Louis Merrill and Chief
Engineer H. HI. Stewart, of the U. S.
navy, think its valne is still to be

THINGS A BABY GAN DO.
Any Father or Mother Knows That
These are Sound Facts


What baby can do is explained by
"Five Talents of Women," new work:
A baby can beat any alarm clock
ever invented, waking q family up in
the morning.
Give ita chance and 1t can smash
more dishes than the most industrious
servant girl in the country. !
1t can fall down oftener and with
less provocation than the most expert
tumbler in the circus ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss over
simple brass pin than its mother
would over broken back.
1t can choke itself black in, the face
with greater ease than the most accom-
plished wretch that was ever executed.
1t can keep family in constant tur-
moil from morning till night and from
night till morning without once vary
ing its tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep peace
fully all day when its father is away on
business and cry persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
1t may be the naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believe it, and you had better
not try.
1t can be charming and model in
fant when no one is around, but when
visitors are present it can exhibit more
bad temper than both of its parents put
together.
1t can brighten up house better
than all the furniture ever made, make
sweeter music than the finest orchestra
ever organized; fill a larger place in its
parents breasts than they knew they
had, and when it goes away it can cause
a greater vacancy and leave a greater
blank than all the rest of the world put
together.

A properly conducted printing office
Is as much secret society as Masonic
Lodge. The printers are not under
oath of secrecy but always feel them
selves honor bound to keep office Sc
crets as though triple oathed. An en-
ploye in printing office who willingly
disregards this fact in relation to print
ing office secrets, would not only be
scorned by his brethren of the craft, but
would lose his position at once. We
make this statement because it some
times happens that communication
appears in a newspaper under an as
sumed signature, which excites COM
ment, and various parties try to find
out who is the author. Let all be saved
the trouble of questioning the employees
of the printing offices. They are know
nothings on such points as these. On
such matters they have ewes and ears,
no mouth, and if they fail to observe
this rule, let them be put down as dis
honorable members of the craft. II is
the same in job printing. If anything
is to be printed and kept secret, let
proper notice be given of the desire for
secrecy, and one might as we'll question
a spynx as one of the printers; so that
the secret books of lodges are printed
without fear.-Er.

The Board of Managers of the PEN
