How the Turks Make Coffee.

The Turkish way of making coffee
produces a very different result from
that to which we are accustomed. A
small conical saucepan with long ham
die and calculated to hold about two
tablespoonfuls of water is the vessel used.
The fresh roasted berry is pounded, not
ground, and about dessertspoonful is
put in the minute boiler; it is then nearly
filed with water and thrust among the
embers. A few seconds suffice to make
it boil and the decoction, grounds and
all, is poured out into small cup which
fits into brass socket, much like the
cup Of an acorn and holding the china
cup as that does the acorn itself. The
Turks seem to drink this decoction boil
ing and swallow the grounds with the
liquid. 1t is always taken plain, as sug-
ar or cream would be thought to spoil
it. Europeans after some practice pre-
fer it to the clearer infusion made in
France. In every hut these coffee boil
ers may be seen suspended, and the
means for pounding the roasted berry
are always ready at hand.

How to Mako Old Clothes Look New.


If a suit of clothes be of good material
and be well made it can be made to last
with some care very long time and do
q great share of service. 1t is best when
clothes are not in use to fold them care
fully and put them away where dust will
not get at them. Hanging clothes in a
wardrobe is not nearly SO satisfactory.
At the end of season when q man lays
aside an old suit he sees the shining
elbows and the bullying knees and the
grease spots here and there, and says to
himself, "Well, this is the end of themw
Go slow, good man, have alittle patience.
Brush the old garments carefully; sponge
out the grease spots with little am
monia and then carefully fold up the old
"duds" and lay them away. When the
next season comes take them out, send
them to be pressed and when they come
back you WI be surprised. The shining
elbows 10 longer glisten i'll the light
the knees are once more in shape and you

How to Avoid Catching Cold.

Accustom yourself to the use of
sponging with cold water every morn
ing on first getting out of bed. 1t should
be followed by good deal of rubbing
with wet towel. This has considerable
effect in giving tone to the skin and
maintaining proper action in it, and
thus proves a safeguard to the injurious
influence of cold and sudden changes of
temperature. Sir Ashley Cooper, the
celebrated English physician, said: 1.-THE
methods by which have preserved my
own health are temperance, early rising
and sponging the body with cold water
Immediately after getting out of bed, a
practice which have adopted for thirty
years without ever having taken cold"

How to Use Terms of Compliment and
Respect.


In official letters "Sir" should be used
and the writer should sign himself Every

business letters "Dear sir" should be
used, and this form of address should be
followed by Respectfully yours" Where
some personal or social relationship en-
ters into business acquaintance "My
dear sir" is proper form of address,
and this should be followed by yours
truly" or "Yours faithfully" Where
the communication is entirely social the
address should be Dear Mr.. Smith" or
its equivalent, and this form of address
should be followed by Sincerely yours"
or "Yours very truly" Where the So
cial relations are somewhat intimate the
form of address may very properly be
"My dear Mr.. Smith," In social letters
"Dear sir" should never be used, and if
a writer objects to the more intimate
forms of address, then the letter should
be written in the old fashioned form Of
the third person where "Mr. Brown pre-
sents his compliments to Mr.. Smith,
etc." Scent" or "Gents" should never
be used under any circumstance. Never
even to one to whom you feel an enmity
should letter be addressed MIR. Smith"

How to Treat for an Overdose of Opium
or Lnudanum.

Give any quick emetic you have at
hand. If there is none, tickle the roof of
the tongue and throat with finger or
feather till the patient vomits. Then
pour in hot strong coffee as long as the
patient can be made to swallow it. This
should be done from the first, without
waiting for the vomiting, if the latter be
delayed more than two or three minutes.
Keep the patient moving and sweating.
If necessary to the latter, place the feet
in hot water or hot cloths. OF course
physician should be sent for while all
this is going on. Opiates are not taken
up by the stomach as rapidly as is gen.
orally supposed, and life may often be
saved long after the poison is swallowed.

How to Remove FreckIes.

In these days when outdoor sports are
happily in vogue for both men and
women young ladies do not have the
horror they formerly had of sunburn and
freckles. Sometimes, however, it is de-
sirable to remove the freckles, and in
such cases this wash will be found eff
cacious: Take one ounce of lemon
juice, quarter of drachn Of powdered
borax and half drachm of sugar;
mix and let the compound stand in a
glass bottle for forty-eight hours. Then
rub it on tho face occasionally, and lo'
the freckles are gone.

II Toronto is a place where all the

much cheaper than elsewhere on this

profitable plan for Mr.. Howard to en-
gage in active business there. Perhaps
he would like to ride TO business in the

bob-tailed horse, that is worth the fabu-
lous sum of $,5. Perhaps he would like
to ride in cars that cost $625 each, in
preference to those in this city, which
cost 5000 each. Perhaps, too, he would
prefer to ride on cars that have no con-
ductors, so that he would be permit
ted to get up, walk about the car
and have the driver make change
for him, and then drop his nickel
in the cash box for himself
instead of having gentlemanly con-
ductor collect it from him without
trouble. All these are the comforts Of
Toronto, and they are combined with a
rate of wages that is less than three
fourths those paid here.

horse railroads of Providence were con-

of cost and wages as in Toronto, our
local company could make clean profit
of $250,000 year over its present in

RESULTS OF THE HEARING.

The hearing on the Franchise act is
ended and so far as any disclosures of
logically founded opposition to the bill
are concerned it might as well have
never been held. A careful resume of the
statements brought against it shows not
one that is new and not one that has not
been repeatedly refuted during the past
six months Of discussion. The bugbear
of cheaper production of electricity and
the cry of extortion, the assertion that
monopoly is deadly, that competition is
advantageous in quasi public services
all were secuted by the two ablest
speakers who appeared before the special
committee against the bill. There can
be no better evidence on the part of
most conscientious student and cer-
tainly none more weighty than that
presented by DIR. Andrews, and on the
other hand practical business success
has no more respected representative
than Mr. John McAuslan. And yet
both these gentlemen expressed their
belief in the principles involved in
the franchise act.
A further consideration of the opposi-
ton TO this bill shows that, with the ex-
ception of the gentlemen above men
toned, all OF the opponents who spoke at
length were Democrats. IL is not the i'm
tention of the News TO give more of a
political aspect to this question than is
forced upon il, but those who have had
an eye to the matter from the outset
have been well aware that the cloud of
Misrepresentation in which il has been
sought to obscure n very simple matter.
has been raised for the most part 10y men
whose names are bywords as standing
Democratic candidates, and by others
whose affiliations prove them TO be in
politics for spoils. This is not pleas
