GETTING RID OF RED ANTS.

There are several ways of getting rid
of red ants. Anisc oil sprinkled over
the places where they run will drive
them away. Two ounces of potash and
four ounces of flower Of sulphur dissolved
by heating over slow fire, mixing we'll
together and then sprinkled over the
places where they 1un will kill them.
Another plan is to crack walnuts and
scatter where the ants run, and when
they get covered with ants gather up and
burn, repeating as often as necessary.
The ants are very fond of walnuts.-St.
Louis RepubM.

RECIPES,

Butter Sconces-Dissolve one pound OF
sugar in half pint of cold water. Rub
one pound of butter into three pounds OF
-four, mix with the sugar and water and
add one teaspoonful of dissolved soda
and three eggs. Roll out, cut in small
cakes and bake.
Fruit Blanc Mange-Take the juice OF
any nice, fresh berries, cherries or rasp-
berries and one pint of water to two of
juice; season with sugar and thicken
with either corn starch or gelatine, cool
in mold and eat with cream and sugar.
1t is very easily made with the corn
starch, but is better, more delicate, with
gelatine; about two tablespoonfuls Of
corn starch to each pint of liquid.
Sugared Orange-Select the lightest
colored oranges for this purpose, as they
are more acid than the dark. Peel off
the rind and slice them, latitudinally or
crosswise, about the eighth of an inch in
thickness. Strew over them some pow
dered white sugar, in the proportion of
a teaspoonful of sugar to each slice. Let
them stand fifteen minutes. They are
very palatable in fevcrs, as they serve to
cleanse the mouth and keep it cool.
Ham Croquettes-Cold boiled ham
makes delicious croqucttcs. Chop the
ham very fine, add to a half-pint of ham
one cup OF fine breadcrumbs and a cup OF
mashed potatoes, one or two raw eggs.
If not sufficiently soft add q cream OF
nice gravy; season with pepper and but.
ter, roll into neat-shaped croquettes, dip
in beaten egg and roll in cracker dust,
fry in very hot pot, drain on brown paper
aud serve hot, garnishcd with curled
parsley.
Vanilla Ice Crcam-One quart milk,
ono cup sugar, two tablespoons -four, one
saltspoon salt, three eggs (whites), one
pint cream, two tablespoons vanilla.
Boil the milk. Mix the sugar, flour and
salt, add the boiling milk, and cook
twenty minutes in double boiler. Stir
az it thickens, and unit! it is smooth.
Beat the whites to q foam, but not stiff,
and stir the hot mixture into them.
When cool, add the cream, using more
if you nave it, aad sugar to taste. Straip
and add the aavoring.

A NEW INDUSTRY For WOMEN.

{ In his magazine Wick calls attention
to an association of women started III
business to undertake by contract the
care of London Conservatives, window
boxes, balconies and small gardens by
the year, season or month. The mem
bers of the association will themselves
attend to all orders, employing men for
the digging and rough work only.
Plants will be received and tended at
the premises of the association during
the absence of the owner from town.
The title of the new business is the
EWomen's London Gardening Associa-,

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
SWEEPING WITH SALT.

A carpet can be greatly improved by
a second sweeping with coarse salt or
dampened cornmeal scattered over it. 1t
is quite astonishing how much dirt will
be taken up. Wiplng the carpet thor
oughly with a damp flannel cloth, wrung
out of warm soap suds, or water softened
with ammonia or borax, is also good
way to keep a carpet bright and nice.
If oilcloth is rubbed now and then with
turpentine and bceswax it will last
longer.

surrounded by high board fence. All
suitable appliances for exercise are sup

who even stop in teams to watch the

Deafness Can't be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the inf1am-
nation can BE- taken out and this tube re-
stored TO its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

point. "What is it for?" We con-
tinually cry from the cradle to tie
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR ?" AS easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this bri1nful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started i'll a small country
town. To-day it has all honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. @

QUEEN NATuAL1E's BEAUTY A MISTAKE

QUEEN NATnALrE's BEAUTY MISTAKE.
/ A royal person about whom London
gossips are busy just at the moment is
Queen Nathalie. She has been seen
driving in Piccadilly and it is reported
that she is stopping at the Savoy Hotel.
Ut has been customary to represent this
modern Mary Stuart as the most beauti-
ful woman in Europe, possibly in order
TO carry out the resemblance between her
and that unfortunate queen whose
beauty, like that of Helen of Troy, has
become recognized standard by which
the claim of loveliness may be judged.
Perhaps in the case OF Nathalie the
wish to make her appear beautiful has
been the father to the thought that she
lis; and beauty in woman against
whom the fates war is, We know, the
most potent element in melting ro-
mantic feeling in her behalf. Sooth to
say, Nathalie is big, black-browed,
ed-cheeked dame with large black eyes,
and her general appearance is SO far
from that of the woman to whom she
has been likened ths. she is decidedly
Icoarse. Boston Transcript.

HOOP SKIRTS COMING IN AGAIN.

"Ladies are to be afflicted with the
old-time hoop skirts again." said a
fashionable modiste the other day, "just
as surely as they have been emancipated
from the thralldom of the hustle. They
have already become fashionable in a
modified form. If you will take the
trouble to watch the lower part of the
skirt of any expensive spring costume
you will perceive that it stands out
stif1y. That effect is produced by a
tband skirt which is nothing else than
b very narrow hoop skirt. Soon it will
get wider, however, and grow from its
present limit of foot until the hoops
multiply on each other snd form the old
fashioned cone reaching to the waist.
Fashion has no compassion Oh US wo-
men; we might as we'll submit with a
good grace."-NashoiNe american.
