The Story of q Ham.

young man, take my advice and
pay for things as you 60. Do not run
up bills"
This was the sage advice we'll
known business man gave a reporter.
"Why ?" continued he. Because in
the end you will pay for it all. and
there is no telling for how much else
beside. l will tell you little incident
that came under my observation re-
Gently, and you will see why say so.
The proprietor Of large provision
store in this city made a credit sale of
a large ham to one of his customers,
but much to his surprise he found out
little later that he had forgotten
to whom he sold it, and failed to make
any note of it.
"This bothered him somewhat until
a happy thought struck him. He
cudgeled the gray matter in his brain
and recalled the name of 13 men who
had happened to be in the store at the
time the transaction took place,
though for the life of him he could
not think who had gone off with that
piece of swine. But, nothing daunt-
ed, he went back and told his book
keeper to charge up one ham to each
of those 13 different accounts. telling
him at the same time that when 12 Of
the men objected to paying for it to
explain to them that it was mistake
that would not occur again.-Wash-

Easy Soap Making.

Tho waste grease and fat from the kitchen
can be disposed of to very good advantage
by making it into soap. A country house
wife tells of an economical way of getting
good soap with very little trouble: Fry out
bits of beef suet and other fat and waste
grease and strain out the oil into a stone
pot until you get from four to four and
half pounds. Put the contents of pound
box of concentrated lye into a stone vessel
and pour three pints of cold water into it;
stir with stick until it dissolves and be-
comes boiling hot; then let it cool till luke
warm In the meantime, melt the fat, and
when both lye and grease are barely luke
warm, pour a tiny stream of lye into the
tat, stirring briskfy, otherwise it will not
form soap. In thirty to forty minutes it
becomes thick, like honey. Then pour into
wet vessel and next day cut into bars

FAos AND FASHIONS IN SILVER.

New Things fer the Boudoir. Library
and Dinner Table.
Elsie Bee tells in The Jewellers Circular
Of many taking novelties in silverware;
among them the following:
Trays of all sizes and shapes meet the
present fad for setting handsome glass
pieces on silver receiver.
Silver bowls are employed for a variety
of purposes, as for salads. fruits. cracked
ice and desserts.
A handsome Wedgwood bottle mounted
in silver and set in circular silver tray,
elaborately carved, furnishes unique ink
stand for library.
There are some dinner tables at which
the guests powder their sauce from silver
nutmeg CRATER, and relieve olives of their
pits with silver olive corer.
The tendency is again for gold Innings in
silver cups, bowls, cream jugs and the like.
A novelty in individual salts are canoe
shaped ones. with tiny silver paddles for
spoons.
For bedrooms and boudoir there are sill
yer futed twisted candlesticks with carved
standards.
Scissors with silver handles that fold
over and protect the sharp points are made
for carrying in ones pocket.
Jewel boxes Of rock crystal mounted in
silver are counted among other high art
articles that find place in the boudoir.
Silver powder boxes beautifully chased
and decorated with medallion portraits of
historical persons are greatly admired.

How to Do Up Cretonne Draperies.

NOW 70 Oo up Cretonne Or2perleS.
Large cretonne draperies, such as cur
tains and furniture covers. should be sent,
II possible, to cleaner, but if it is neces-
sary to do them at home, they may be
washed thus: Cut up some soap in small
pieces into a basin, and fill up with boiling
water; leave this until it is in a jelly.
When ready to wash the cretonne, put
this jelly in tub with plenty of boiling
water. and let it become lukewarm. Then
wash the articles thoroughly in it. When
the dirt is out rinse the cretonne in tub
of clean water with little blue and some
salt. II very much soiled it may be neces-
sary to put it through two tubs of soap and
water. Roll the cretonne in an old
blanket and squeeze out the water; pull
the stuff into shape and hang it up to dry.
This method comes from practical source,
but it must be remembered that it is wiser
to send valuable curtains, etc., to a
cleaners. However, this plan is safe one
to try for small and unimportant articles
