A Way to Manage it.

Little Johnny began to lay plans for
Christmas, even before Thanksgiving ar
rived. Mamma" said he, 81 know
what Pm going to ask Santa Claus for
already"
'What is it Johnny"
ga big red wagon"
"But how is Santa Claus to get the
wagon into your stocking?"
Johnny meditated moment and then
said:
"I'll write and explain it to him."
He sat down and in a short time r ro-
duced the following letter.
dear Sanity Clos-I want you to bring
me a Wagon. A very red one for
Christmas. IT you can't gett the
Wagon in the stocking, you can gett the
stocking in the Wagon.
Your Truly,
Johnny"

If the chimney catches fire run to the
salt box, and empty it out upon the
flames; they will be reduced as if by
magic, and furthe. steps can be taken
to subdue the outbreak. If SCOT falls
upon the carpet or rug, do not attempt
to sweep until it has been covered thick
ly with dry salt; it can then be swept up
properly, and not stain or smear will
be left. If anything happens to catch
fire, either whilst cooking or otherwise,
throw salt upon it at once to prevent any
disagreeable smell.-The Housewife.
WASHING COMPOUND. - Take one
pound chloride of lime, scald it by pour
ing one gallon of boiling water over it,
stir up we'll several times, then let it
settle and pour off. Then pour one-half
gallon boiling water on the lime and re-
peat process, taking care when pouring
off the liquid not to get any lime in;
then add two pounds washing soda to
the liquid, let it dissolve and it is ready
for use. Put one-half cupful in the
water when soaking your clothes, and
another in the boiler before you boil
them. Try it sisters.-Gipsy.
CoCoANUT CAKE Take one half cup
of butter, one cup of sugar, three eggs,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two
cupfuls of -four, one-half cupful of sweet
milk. Beat the butter and sugar thor
oughly together, then beat the eggs
the yolks and whites separately-and
stir them in with the butter and sugar !;
then add the milk, with favoring to suit
the taste. Stir the baking powder in the
flour and stir this rapidly into the fore
going compound. For dressing between
layers, take the whites of two eggs, beat
well, and add one-half cup of white
sugar; spread it over each layer and
sprinkle thickly with cocoanut; also ap-
ply some dressing to the top and sides.

Famous Yet Unknown.
WIVES WHO ARE HIDDEN By THEIR HUS-
BANDS FAME, YET WHO ARE WON
DERFUL WOMEN.

The wife of famous man will often
times be completely hidden by the dazzle
of her husbands fame, and it is aston
ishing how little is known of those
women whose husbands names are
household words throughout the coun-
try. While the newspapers team with
the name of Thomas A. Edison, moth
ing is comparatively known or heard OF
Mrs. Edison. Every newspaper reader
knows the name of Chauncey M. Depew,
but of Mrs. Depew only the most casual
reference is made. Even in England no
one ever hears of Lady Tennyson, Or of
Mrs Gladstone. And the same is true of
the wives of such men as P. T. Barnum,
Will Carleton, John Wanamaker, Spur
geon, W. D. Howell, DR.. Talmage,
"Mark Twain and James G. Blaine. Of
ten these very wives have been the max
ers Of theif husbands careers. Their por-
traits are even less known than their
lives. In asplendid series to becalled Gun
known Wives of Well-known Men," the
Ladies Home Journal, of Philadelphia,
will, during the next year, sketch all these
women and others, presenting their por-
traits, in many cases for the first time TO
the public.

Keep the Children's Faith.

Mothers, don't destroy your children's
faith in you by not keeping your promises
to them,no matter how trifing they may
seem. The simple childish faith they
place in you should be a reason, if there
was no other. from keeping promise once
made. The child may doubt ever one
else but will believe the mother. A
child's faith is involuntary, born of
weakness and conscious dependence,
and his mother is his law and gospel.
But let child once distrust the word of
his mother, and he loses forever his
simple childish faith. It is shock that
the tender sensibilities never recover
from, and often cruel disillusion that
makes him ultimately perhaps cynic.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

II you have task to do,
That seems as if you'd ne'er get through,
Believe me, that the wisest way,
Is to begin the task to-day.
If you have word unsaid,
Spoken, would make one comforted.
Go find that one, and say it straight,
1t is word that can not wait.
If you can do kindly deed.
Can heal the sick or hungry feed,
Do not leave the deed undone,
Until you see to-mOrrow's sun.
But angry word, and selfish way,
Are best put off another day.
And then another day again,
Postpone what gives another pain.
So keep the hasty speeches down.
And make smile chase back the frOwn,
In silence let i'll temper lie,
For an eternal by and by.

How to Use all Kinds of Baskets.

A contributor to Table Talk says the
cheap baskets OF commerce, in which
small fruits are marketed, are found
very convenient for kitchen and other
uses. Some ofthe large sized splint ones
can be made much stronger by inserting
two strong, thin Stats of wood through
the splints lengthWise of the bottom.
The smaller wood ones which are used
mostly for grapes, should have the bot
tom fastened in firmly by small tacks.
Then, if all are painted, both outside
and inside, they will last long time.
The uses to which these baskets can
be put ale limitless. Their utility is by
no means confined to the homely kitchen
uses of holding kindlings, vegetables,
fruit, clothes pins, etc. They can be
converted into handsome knitting or
darning baskets by covering the outside
with puff of handsome figured Saline,
and the inside with harmonious color
in plain satin, making half-inch ruffle
of the figured goods above the shirr at
the top edge. Cut a piece of strong
cardboard to fitthe bottom on the inside;
cover it with the lining material and in
sert it.
The round twelve or twelve-quart
peach baskets make an excellent family
work basket by placing the bottoms of
two together and firmly mailing them in
position. Then cover them hour-glass
fashion, with figured satin or oil-boiled
Turkey red calico. Put wide ribbon
around the centre with bow on one
side. You can fasten pin cushion and
several small pockets around the inside
if you choose.
These baskets also make good scrap
baskets. Scour it smooth with sand
paper, carefully paint it two coats of
bronze green paint, letting the first one
dry thoroughly before giving second
one. When dry, touch up freely with
liquid bronze paint. Line the inside
nearly with a delicate shade of plrk
Saline, or some other harmonious color
(this material is much softer, and the
colors more durable than silesia. though
trife more expensive). Insert a bot

tom in the same manner as given above
for the darning basket. A fall of lace
or fringe at the top is decided addition
to it's beauty. Ribbon can be woven in
through the Stats if preferred, and
large bow of wide pink and green ribbons
should be put on one side.

Home Made Candies for Christmas

Home MADE CANDIES Tor christmas.
In our leading article of last week,
"Getting Ready for Christmas" space
would not permit for the many sugges-
tions and helps, which naturally might
then have been given. This week,
therefore we suggest to our readers that
they give large place to Home Made
Candies in their list of preparations for
the coming holidays.
No one article, probably has greater
sale at Christmas time than nice candies.
Christmas would hardly be Christmas,
if not sweetened and favored with these
Christmas dainties. If they can be
made at home, (Which must be done on
the sly if the children are around) many
a penny can be saved, and the candies
fresher and much better than those pur-
chased at the shops; they are certainly
clean, pure and healthful.
Presuming that the candy bags of all
sorts and shapes, made of coarse lace,
empty egg shells, decorated with decal-
comania pictures, or other materials as
the fancy may dictate, are all ready,
now comes the making of the candy to
fill them. Confectioners' sugar, which
is of much finer grade than the pulve1
lied sugar, is always used for the incest
candies.
OF course none of us are abcve liking
the old fashioned molasses candy made
at a genuine old fashioned "candy pull"
when we thought no evening entertain
ment could be sweeter or more satiseac-
tory. This is the way we used to make
it. We put two quarts Of genuine mo-
lasses, not syrup, into bright sauce
pan and boiled moderately, stirring all
the time, until little dropped in very
cold water would become hard and brit
tie. Then we stir in a teaspoonful OF
cream tartar and boiled very gently for
few minutes longer, this makes it nice
and white. When taken from the fire
we added little winter green essence,
and then poured it in we'll buttered

ready for the pulling" when the old
fashioned fun began in earnest.
But for cream candy you should use
the confectioners' sugar. Take two
large cupsful to six spoonfuls of boiling
water. Boil briskly until it will harden
in cold water, then add one heaping tea
spoon of Gre am tartar, and one teaspoon
of extract Ct rose or vanilla as you may
prefer. Pour into a well buttered dish
to cool and then pull it white, cut this in
long strips to harden.
But there are many varieties of deli
cious candies which can be made without
a particle of boiling and very little
trouble. The basis of all these varieties
simply paste made by beating the
whites OF two eggs to stiff froth, then
adding as much confectioners' sugar as
