wAsTEFUL ECONOMY IN THE KITCHEN.
"NIany young wife," said motherly
woman the other day, "would find the
wheels of her household moving much
more smoothly if she would spend little
less money on the furnishing of her
drawinp-room and devote it, instead, to
supplying her kitchen with laborsaving
appliances and plenty of utensils. Econ
omy in kitchen utensils may easily be
pushed too far, and if there is another
place where a woman may be more read
ily excused than another for extravaganza
it is Just there.
"To have to stop in the middle OF
making a dessert in order to clean
saucepan or a kettle in which the soup
had been prepared, because you have not
another, is folly when soup kettles can
be had for twenty-five cents each. To
have your kitchen knives of such poor
metal that they will not stay sharp, or to
let a GOOD knife remain dull because you
think YOU cannot afford to spend ten
cents to have it sharpened, is a real waste
of strength out of all proportion to the
saving. To have nothing by which you
can measure your ingredients accurately,
because it costs more to buy set of
weights or graduated glass measure
than to trust to guess-work and an old
tea cup, has spoiled many good dish
that cost Just as much and has brought
humiliation on many good cook. To
scrape your porridge pot with spoon
because you will not buy patent pot
scraper for twelve cents wears out ten
spoons to one pot-scraper, and the hired
girl invariably selects your best spoon for
that purpose Sitting the coal ashes is
such dirty business as it is usually per
formed and the servant kicks against ii
so vigorously that the most economical
housekeeper soon abandons it in despair.

"There is hardly anything in the
kitchen of which there are not two varie
ties, the cheap and the dear, and the re
suit of the use of either is generally its
exact opposite in actual cash. But il

their own cost many times over every

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
MARKING CLOTHES.

II is of essential Importance that
clothes should be marked and numbered.
This is often done with ink; but as some
persons like to mark with silk, we shall
describe the stitch. Two threads are to
be taken each way of the cloth, and the
needle must be passed three ways in or
der that the stitch may be complete. The
first is aslant from the person toward the
right hand the second is downward to-
ward you, and the third is the reverse of
the first-that is, aslant from you toward
the left hand. The needle is to be
brought out at the corner of the stitch
nearest to that you are about to make.
The shapes of the letters or figures can be
learned from an inspection of any COM
mon examples Observer.

The white population of the Congo, in
West Africa, is increasing at quite a
rapid rate. Five years ago, after Stanley
had founded mis- stations, there were only
about 200 white men engaged in the
various enterprises along the river. The
number has now increased to nearly 500,
some of whom have lived on the river
nine or ten years. The gratifying thing
about it is that a fair average of health is
maintained among these colonists. The
fact would attract worldwide attention
if these pioneers were having the ex-
perience which, it is said, was formerly
the fate of the Governors of Sierra Leone,
the old Governor invariably going home
in his coffin while the new official was
travelling to his field of labor,

The Business Woman.

The typical business woman of today is
an object of admiration to men and of won
der to members of her own sex. Men
would not marry her, but they enjoy hob
nobbing with hCr and drawing out her
ideas, which are generally novel. If they
are not always thought practical it is be-
cause other women, who have not been
real business women, have created a lack
of confidence in the minds of men,
The typical business woman likes men
and talks to them like brothers. When she
is talking, if she happens to be seated, she
turns sideways on the chair, crosses her
legs and places one arm akimbo on the
back; when standing she crooks her ell
bows and, with quick little movement of
her thumbs, she places them in the imagin-
ary armholes of her imaginary waistcoat
She is almost always good hearted, has
ready sympathies and, if she acquires mon
ey, puts her hand in her pocket to help the
needy with more than manly alacrity.-

The White House Linen.

There is still another room where one
can get an idea of Mrs. Harrisons house
keeping. 1t is the linen closet on the sec
ond floor. The linen was formerly kept in
the damp closets in the stewards room,
but Mrs. Harrison noticed one day that
there could be closet amply large made
behind the elevator and she had the space
walled in, shelves built, and now the
White House has a matchless linen closet.
1t is under the care of Josephine, Mrs.
Harrison's maid, and Whit of it is like a
breath from a meadow in May, for it is
kept so clean and sweet. Everything is
initiated with ''U. s." in white linen, al
though one set of napkins has the initials
in white, with faint line of red The
napkins are all yard square and of the
finest damask. Mrs. Harrison has added
to the stock since she has been in the
White House, and there is one set of din
ner linen that was used at the first state
dinner that is as fine and soft as silk

The We'll Bred Girl.

A well bred girl thanks the man who
gives her seat in the street car, and does
it in a quiet and not in an effusive way.
She does not declare that she never rides in
street cars. She does not accept n valuable
present from any man unless she expects to
marry him. She doesn't talk loud in pub
lie places. She doesn't shove or push to
get the best seat, and she doesn't wonder
why in the world people carry children in
the cars, and why they permit them to cry.
She does not speak of her mother in sar-
castle way, and she shows her the loving
Difference that is her due.
She doesn't try to be man, and she
doesn't try to initiate him by adopting
masculine dress and manners. She doesn't
say she hates women, and she has some
true good friends among them. She doesn't
wear boots without their buttons on, or a
frock that needs mending. She doesn't
scorn the use of the needle, and expects to
make clothes for very little people who will

4 Bedroom Fire.

The fire should be made up every night,
at or 10 O'Clock, by placing four or five
pounds of coal evenly on the top of it; over
this about seven pounds of very small coal
or coal dust should be spread; and over the
whole about four pounds of fine coal ash
should be strewed, and patted flat with the
shovel. Such fire will burn all through
the night without any attention, and in
the morning the resulting cake of ash and
coal dust can be broken up, producing a
bright blaze. The addition of a little fresh
coal, with light strewing of ashes on the
surface, will keep the fire in throughout
the day. 1t is calculated that by this
method fourteen pounds of house coal and
seven pounds of coal dust or pit screening
will keep large bedroom at an average
temperature of So degs. for twenty-four
hours. Another advantage is that almost
smokeless fires result, since the layer of
superimposed ashes appears to filter the
smoke which passes through it, retaining
all the particles of solid carbon.-Cassell's
