MIXING THE SALAD.
Salt, Pepper and Seasoning Should R.
 Mixed with tho Vinegar.

Salt, Pepper and Seasoning Should Be
 Mixed with tho Vinegar.
 A great mistake which some salad makers are guilty of is to stir the salt in with the oil or just after the oil. The salt and pepper and seasoning should be mixed with the vinegar, the salad leaves should be tossed in the oil and the seasoned vinegar poured over them. If the salt is mixed with the oil, it fails to melt and is apt to give the salad Q gritty flavor.
 Green salads are too often carelessly drained. A good salad basket is very useful article. It is quite similar to 8 croquette basket in general appearance and costs but twenty-five cents. If a salad is properly washed and drained in such basket, there is not likely to be much water left in the salad bowl when the dressing is poured over it. Not ev- eryone knows that tomatoes are deli cious dressed with simple French dressing. The popular mayonnaise dressing which is so much more expen- sive than the simple French dressing is almost the only dressing in which to- matoes are served in the American household. The French housewife con- siders a mayonnaise dressing suitable only for a grand occasion and an ex- travagance for everyday use-
 To prepare tomatoes with 8 French dressing, select firm, red tomatoes. The beefsteak tomato is especially nice for this purpose. Plunge them into boiling water and remove the skins, and set them on the ice to become thoroughly chilled. When they are ice-cold cut them into thin slices. To half dozen tomatoes put half a teaspoonful of salt, tablespoonful of pepper, two table spoonfuls of vinegar and the same amount of the best salad oil. If you wish. add few drops of onion juice, which gives a pleasant flavor for a change to this simple and delicious din, ner salad.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Way to Pour Tea.

There is more in pouring tea and coffee than most persons dream of in their philosophy. Even if these decoc- tions are brought to the table ready made, 1t requires experience, judgment and exactness to apportion them so that they shall prove sufficient in quan- tity for the family and so that those who wish their tea weak will not get it strong, and vice versa. Often persons pour tea without being aware that the first cup Is the weakest, and that the tea grows stronger as you proceed. The proper way to pour tea, therefore, is to i'll all the cups before serving any; and where several cups of equal strength are wanted, pour little into each, and then go back, reversing the order as you fill them, and the strength will be properly apportioned- - Farm and Home.

tended to prevent uch,accidents; while it may be useful in lessening the fatigue of carrying infants and freeing the arms of the nursefor other inciden- tai duties. As will be seen by the figure, the appliance consists of strong network attached to an eyeleted strap. This is thrown over the left shoulder and affixed to the end of the net, which is brought under the right arm by means of hook. We draw attention to this invention, as we believe it to be calculated to be of survice to such as have the personal charge of infants and useful as a preventive of a class of calamfties to which very young children, are liable.=London Lancet.

 Six years have passed. Rachel, grown into a plump, pretty girl, had just left the room, when Mrs. Martin threw her hand back and groaned.
 Whats the matter, mother?" asked tall, manly fellow of twenty-three, who entered at this moment.
 ''Why, Jack, I have just remem- bered that tomorrow Rachers time is up, and she'll be free to leave us to go where she pleases. What I'm to do without her beats me. declare 'twould be like choppin' off a hand to lose her"
 "Is that all? Then don't worry, mother. Rachel won't leave the farm, even though her time is up."
 Well, I'm glad to hear it-though il beats me how you came to know Sd much about it." rejoined Mrs. Martin.
 "Well," stammered Jack, growing red, 'T don't know as it's a secret now"
 ''Oh, that's what it's come tor" said Mrs. Martin, with a pie ased expression. 'Well, l dunno as object if you two know your own minds. Mrs A. G Thompson, in Short Stories.

 The scene wasn't an inviting one, the day was chill and gray and the dead leaves lying upon the ground were of dingy brown.
 The little barefooted, poorly-clad child moaned and shivered afresh every time she deposited handful of tubers in the big basket.

 "Oh, Jack, do you s'pose they'd let me Eo with you?"
 The little face so woe-begone and for lorn a minute before was full enough of life now, and all aglow with antici- pated pleasure, while the little red fin gers fell to work with fcvcrish rapidity.
 The task was soon completed, and two light hearts gave freshness to the feet that turned toward tiny brook that ran, gurgling, through the meadow at the end of the field.
 But sharp eyes were looking from the low-roofed farmhouse few rods away, and shrill cry of Rachel, Rachelv brought the girl to a sudden standstill.
 Once more it was repeated, and this time in a tone not to be disregarded.

Two years she had lived on the Martin farm and had six more to serve.
 The people who had pledged them selves to give her home and clothe her in return for such service as she could render were not Intentionally cruel.

CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF PIPES.
Odd Ways In Which All Glasses of People
 Know How to Make Them.

Odd Ways in Which All Glasses of People
 Know How to Make Them.
 A long and slender stemmed pipe was brought from Central Africa some years ago, from the neighborhood of Albert Nyanza, by the Stanley expedition, and was obtained from the dwarf tribes in- habiting the Arewemi and Ituri forests, near the equator. To make the pipe the little people take the midrib of the banana leaf, which is cellular, and, by pushing long, hard river reed through the rib, they are enabled to get the bore required for the pipe stem They plug the lower end with clay, and, roll ing up a section of the banana leaf into tiny cornucopia, cut 8 hole in the stem and insert it for bowl, the sap in the green leaf preventing it's com bustion as the tobacco burns. This pipe recalls the bowl made from a po- tato and the stem made out of a piece of twig from which the pith had been driven, which was employed by many American soldiers during the great war.
 Another curious pipe is made from a shell which comes from New Guinea. While the pipes used in the interior | are more generally made of bamboo, those smoked in the neighborhood of the coast, and especially in Savo and | the Solomon islands, are made of shells \ which are picked up on the seashore. | At present the principal pipe used in | the southern portion of New Guinea and the adjacent islands is the English clay, and pipe of this description is generally acceptable as part of the payment for days labor in that dis. trict
 Quite recently some curious pipes Ewere found in the vast guano deposits of Peru, the date of which is fixed by scientists to whom they have been sub
 mitted as co-equal with the famous Pc ruvian pottery, the eleventh or twelfth century. Herald.

the $1,000 appropriated to open

pended IN the course of education,

otherwise, and being in the posi-
ton of advantage, its opinion will
prevail. We hope the new council
will be more earnest in their support
of this measure which the public
