The following is an arrangement
for washing dishes that saves half the
risk and makes them look nicer and
brighter. The only outlay required is
n half-bushel basket. Set this either in
the sink or in Il pail. Pour boiling
water over them, rinse them thorough
ly, then set them up edge-wise in the
basket, so as to drain. The heat will
dry them perfectly, and not a streak or
particle of lint will be seen. Five min
utes will have them perfectly dry. Nc
one who tries it once will be likely to go
back to the old way.-Detroit Free Press.

of Mocha and Java coffee. Allow one

of rich cream and place upon the sugar
in the coffee cups. Take off the coffee,
pour off, return, and then let settle in
q warm place where it will not boil.
