KITCHEN HINTS.

1t you will put a tin of water in the oven
your cake or meat will not burn.
If you will heat your knife you can cut
hot bread or cake as smoothly as cold.
When cooking onions set a tin of vinegar
on the stove, let it boil, and you will have
no disagreeable smell.
Be sure to keep your dishcloth clean, as
some physicians claim diphtheria will start
from using greasy dishcloths.
To take the ''fishy' smell from your
skillet after frying fish, put soap and water
in the skillet and let boil for ten minutes.
Take two large spools. drive large nails
through them in the wall, about two inches
apart, and hang your broom up, brush end
up.
When your oilcloth is dull and beginning
to wear out give it one or two coats of var
nish. 1t will be pretty again and wear
much longer.
Never put milk or butter in the cup
board where cooked cabbage, turnips or
onions are, as the smell from them will
taint butter or milk in short time.
To keep your hands from chapping get
equal parts Of benzine and glycerine, shake
well, and rub few drops on the hands af-
ter washing them. 1t will keep them soft
and white Chicago Nail.

WHY NOT BE KIND TO THE LIVING,
FOR THEN THEY WILL LIVE
L0NGERs

This, from Harper's Weekly, may not be
in the Bible, but it ought to be:
1t is an odd thing that no sooner has
death claimed our friends for his own than
we begin to say and do multitude of
things of little use at ali then in compari-
son to that which they might have been
had they come in advance of death. Then
out of hand we flock to the house with of
fers of assistance and proffers offriendship;
we rob our gardens and our lighthouses
and send cut flowers in profusion, and
funeral wreaths and crosses and pillows
a1d anchors and stars to encum brance, and
do all we can, though late, to hide and dis
guise and sweeten fate. But if we had
have been aware of it how much pleasure
and excitement and relief from monoton-
Gus or lonesome hours our sick friends
might have enjoyed when all was a tire
some round of day and night and medicine
and solitude, when a bunch of flowers
brought in would have brought light to
the duh eyes of joy both over the gift and
the giyer, joy which no broken columns of
tuberoses and ivies, costing small fortunes,
can bring TO the eyes of the dead Even
could we not have been admitted to the
sick room itself, we could have brought
there the murmer of the outside world by
the mere knowledge given to the patient
that we were within the gates, some
break, some cheer, some good.
Then, too, how profuse we are with our
good words after the ears are stopped
with dust. We do not hesitate then to say
all that is true or even more than is true
in praise of the departed. 1t is as if We
had suddenly discovered in the sand jew
Ell fit for kings to wear; we make an out
cry and hold it up to the light and turn 1t
this way and that, and exclaim and marvel
and admire and cali on Others TO do like
wise. There is nothing to say about this
person now that the place once filled is va
cant. But if we had said tenth of it all
when it might have been heard BY the liv-
ing person, of how much more worth it had
been! What Joy and satisfaction it might
have given, Tie subject of it all might
have felt as if satisfied to leave life with
such appreciation. But it was not spoken
and life went ON without it; and now we
regret it. and do the same thing over with
the ext friend.

COTTON SEED AND IT'S USES.

Twenty years ago the last thing to make
trust out of would have been cotton seed
oil. Forty years ago cotton seed was a
drug and nuisance to the planter, who
abused it up and down. Itwas burned as
garbage, and ways were devised to get rid
of it.
At length it was thought of as fertilizer.
Happy thought. The very thing. Next
some genius thought of feeding it to cattle.
Happier idea still. 1t was full of oil, and
made animals sleek and fat. May be the
oil in it was good for something. Anoth-
er brilliant thought The oil was found to
be valuable for many purposes.
A ton of cotton seed was soon valued at
s14. 1t contained thirty-fve gallons of oil,
which, after it was refined, brought a dol
lara gallon. There was another miracle.
The cotton seed hulls were found better
food for animals than the whole seed had
been, while as a fertilizer and iuel they
were unsurpassed. Finally, to complete
the story of a nuisance, the ashes of the
hulls make first class potash, and the re-
fuse of the oil is manufactured into an ex-
celient soap.

ENCOURAGE YOUR SONS.
wise father gives this sage advice

4 wise father gives this sage advice:
MY boys are out in the world and de-
ing well, but sympathize with the aDxi-
cites of fathers who have yet to see how
their boys viii pan out. My plan always
was to encourage the boys in all possible
ways. Remember that boys are not equal
ly smart. Don't crowd your boy. Above
all don't be comparing him unfavoraby
with some other boy, your neighbor's son.
That sort of thing breaks boy s spirit de-
stroys his pride, and he may lose all ambi-
tion. Protect him; build him up on his
weak spot; let him feel that you are back
of him; that while you except him to
plunge in and swim for himself, still you
have long pole that you will reach out
to him in case he needs it, Don't hurry
him if he is little bit slower than some
boys. Precocious boys are not always nor
often the most successful men when they
come to the mature stage OF life. Don't
let your bog get the idea that money is the
sole epd and aim of existence. But teach him
thrift, and by adding something to his saw
ings bank account, say IS to every $50 he
saves himself, teach him from the start to
realize the value for rainy day OF dol
lar laid by,

OUT-sIAYED HER WELCOME.

Perhaps you have known what it is to
have visitor prolong his or her sojourn
with you beyond reasonable limit-out-
last their welcome, that is. The next time
this happens the following recipe may be
of service to you: Some weeks or months
ago certain young lady who dwells in
another State was invited to stay with a
Pittsburg family. The length of the visit
was not prescribed. The young lady came
and stayed all June; then all July, and
when August came she showed no signs of
moving. She was medium-weight, aver
age-looking, fairly agreeable young person,
and during June her hosts enjoyed her soc
iety. In July they began to grow weary
of her, and the verge of August brought
them to the verge of a genuine dislike for
the guest. Still they were too well-bred
to show their feelings, and if there had not
been mischieyous boy Of fourteen in the
family | have no doubt the girl would be
still emulating the example of the ''Old
Man of the Sea- 1t was this boy who
conceived plan to start the tarrier home
ward. He studied a society journal for the
correct style and then wrote to paper
which makes speciality of such things the
following paragraph:
Miss -, who has been staying with
- for the last three months, has return
ed to her home in-n
The author of this society note took care
his victim should see IT. She took the hint
and departed.

HIGH ART DECORATIONS.

Havea make-belieye wood fireplace in one
corner of your house, with hickory logs in it
that are never meant to burn. Have a tall,
brass topped shovel and tongs, tied up
with blue ribbon bows, somewhere not far
off. Stick little dabs of yellow, red and
blue ribbon ateyery corner of every picture
frame. Continue the dabs of ribbon over
each chair, weave il in between the canes
and quirlit around the rockers till plain
man would be afraid of bis life to sit
down in it. Hang tabs and ends and
fringes of things all over your walls, till
they look like rag bag struck by light
ming. Have portiere to each square foot
OF space. If you have not room enough to
show your portieres properly, put two or
three upon one door, and then loop one ov-
er the other. Decorate your windows in
the same way. Have about six hangings
and bolt or two more of ribbon to EACH
Cover the floor with rugs, two or three
deep Have them NICE and handy where the
caller will trip upon them and fall and dis
figure himself. A rug that is
not placed where it will trip
and throw somebody has missed its mission.
Stick tissue-paper roses wherever there is
any place for them.
All these hangings and drapings are in
the true line of high art. By no posi-
bility can the room properly fitted with
them be busted. That will save labor.
The rags and tabs and bits of cloth
and ribbon with which your room
is filled are warranted to catch and hold all
disease germs, typhoid, small pox, con-
sumption and diphtheria. If there is any
body you particularly wish to get rid of,
fit his sleeping room with high art decora-
tions and scarfs and things.
Some people are of opinion that the most
appropriate decoration for a room is the
free, dancing, glorious sunshine and air
that the Almighty gave us. Don't mind
such people, they are cranks. What did
the Almighty know of high art9 A high
art room was never meant to breathe ia.
If people want to breathe, let them go out
doors. Then, miss or madam, when all
about you is properly bedraped, sit down
and make the following final triumph Of
artistic skill:
TISSUE SHAVING BALLS.
Cut from seyenty-ire to one hundred
circles of tissue, either pink or yellow, that
shall be the size of coffee saucer. Take
each circle by the center and crimp slight
Iy between the fingers. String these cir
cles by the center on fine wire, having
small loop turned up at the end to prevent
them slipping off In threading them ar
range them SO they will form an evenly
shaped ball. When perfectly round turn
the other wire end in a loop, through
which narrow satin ribbon is drawn and
tied in bow to hang it up by.

The following bit of sarcasm is going the
rounds: "a valuable subscriber sends us
the Ten Commandments and asks us to

we must decline to do so. 1t is true that
the Commandments were written several

ONE MORE.

W hen man and time itself were peers,
In the far days before the food,
And living souls had flesh and blood,
Five hundred or thousand years,
Till birthdays grew a misty guess,
What signified one more or Iess2
All me. no thought may now contemn
That unit of the lives of men,
Whose dwindled years are one to ten
or Adam and Methusalem,
And one hath all the cares that grew,
In twenty when the world was new.
4 year. tbs natures morn and night,
The lifetime of a plant, with dover
OF seed and sprout and leaf and flower;
And yet before its SHOWS are white
We claim the next, and plan to run
Another journey round the sun.
Our course of being hath no goal,
Alone in passing youth or age
The onward step, the further stage,
Is counted by the insatiate soul
That haunts the Futures open door
And cries for one tomorrow more.
And though the new to-morrows beam
On thankless slight and willful waste,
And greed Of mortals crazed with haste
Who hope and scheme and wish and dream,
Still added to life's growing sum,
In mercy one by one they come.
One more repfieye from sorrows stress,
One more delay for duty's stent,
| One more probation to repent,
| One more condition of success
| We ever crave. The boon is lent
| We take-but we are not content.
| Do New Years rise and set in vain
| Because uneasy spirits fret?
Not so; the world hath wisdom yet,
And punctual sense of present gain,
| And faith, whose patience waits so long
| Its yearning doeth time no wrong.
sAnd Heaven, that chides the rash and blind
| Relents when love of life ent1eats,
| And still with granted seasons meets
| The common prayer of all mankind,
| And gives eternity-whose store
OF years forever yields one more.

Oh, the gorgeousness of autumn blooms.
The clusters bright and rare,
Oh, the concentrated sunlight beams
That blossom ev'rywherei
Springtime flowers long have faded,
Summer blossoms droop and die,
But the gorgeous autumn flowers
Gold and crimson colors vie.
All the long and sultry summer
Just bank Of living green.
Just restful row Of verdure,
1t was all that could be seen.
But there hovered ardent fairies
In the gloomy summer weather,
Slowing sunshine, dew and laughter.
Love and beauty altogether
And they burst forth with the gladness
OF the daylight and the dawn.
And it's at this lovely season
That the fairest flower is born.
Oh, the gorgeousness Of autumn blooms,
The clusters bright and rare,
Oh, the concentrated sunlight beams,
That blossom ev'rywherel
Springtime flowers long have faded,
Summer blossoms droop and die,
But the gorgeous autumn flowers.
Gold and crimson colors vie.

"a side window in stable makes horses
eyes weak on that side; a window in front
hurts his eyes by the glare; window be-
