Tho Russian Knout.

A knout is not merely lash or whip,
but an ingenious and refined instrument
of torture, consisting of very long and
narrow strip of leather, with thin edges
says the Cincinnati Gazette. The leather
is first boiled and soaked in preparation
of iron, in order to mako it hard and
heavy. Before allowing 1t to harden,
however, the thin edges arc doubled over
along the whole length of the knout, and
in such manner rs to mako them very
sharp, so that the knout on its concav,
side is like two long, flexible knives.
The knout falls ION the concavc side
on the naked back Of the victim, and the
borders cut into the flesh like knives
Should the cxecutioncr perform his tash
conscientiously, the victim usually swoon
away after the third stroke, and Otter
dies under the fifth. Peter tho Great
fixed by ukasc the maximum number of
strokes at 101, and when that number
was really inflicted it was usually upon q
dead body, since it is next to impossible
for human being to survive more thar
twenty honest strokes of the knout.
Therefore, it is very rare for the regu!a
ton number of strokes to be inflicted.
unless with intent to kill.

A SCOTCH WAY OF WASHING.

Here are some Scotch directions for
washing underclothcs and stockings.
These articles should be washed with
tepid water AMI boiled soap, and the
lathcr worked up quite light before they
are put in. They should never be rubbed
or allowed to soak in the water, but
should be simply drawn through the
hand. Each article should be entirely
finished washing and pinning up to dry
before the next is made wet, and in every
instance they should be quickly washed
ard dried, the soap being rinscd out in
cold water. Socks and hose require
wooden boards to prevent them shrink
ing while wet. These should be inserted
while tho articles are wet, and left in
until they are perfectly dry. Any car.
pentcr can make these stocking boards
OF the required size.-Ne,0 York lFor!a.

WASTE NOT.

1t is sad fact that there is. perhaps,
more extravaganza in brcad-the real
staff of life-than in any other article.
Pieces are thrown away, crumbs shaken
into the fireplace, and ctusts or "heels"
of loaves allowed to get stale; whereas
the careful housekeeper has large dish
an the toplshelf of her pantry, in which
every scrap and crumb of bread left un
consumed is placed. Once week
regularly these are dried-uot Drowned
in the oven, then crushed on the paste
board or pounded in mortar, site
through wire sieve, and stored in an
earthen jar. Not only are cheese bread
crumbs useful for making solcs or outlets,
or for frying, but, soaked for some time
In milk, they make the foundation OF
many sweet buildings, which are both
nutritious and economical, and of which
the style and flavor can be varied TO auy
extent-Daughters of America.

Largest Lily in the World.

The Botanical Garden has succeeded
in propagating the famous royal water
lily, or as it is known in botany, "The
Victoria Rcgia." One of them is now
in full bloom in the little fountain south
Of the main greenhouse, aud several arc
in bloom in the basin OF the large cen.
tennial fountain in the centre OF the
grounds.
The plant is most peculiar growth,
the leaves resembling in form huge fry.
ing pans, varying in diameter from six
to eight feet, and, on account of tneir
peculiar construction, are capable of sus-
tanning considerable weight. Yesterday
photograph was taken OF the lily with
the nine -year-old son of the assistant
superintendent of the gardens compla
Gently sitting in the middle of one of
the mammoth leaves. This is not the
first time lilies of this variety have been
grown in the United States, but it is the
first instance where they have lowered
in water not artiicially heated.
The flower is exceedingly beautiful,
and resembles in its first stage large
magnolia. As it grows older its color
changes to delicate pink, gradually be.
coming red, until finally it sinks from
sight and develops a seed pod.
Hundreds OF persons visited the gar
dens and viewed the curious botanical
creation. Superintendent Smith has de-
cided to keep the garden open every day
during the blooming of this lily until
dark, so that every one can have chance
Of viewing the largest water lily in the

For from your eyes there flashes
Loves sunlight through its rain,

No moro tho past recall,

ON SERVING GREEN TEAS.

Every good housekeeper delights in
having her table look as dainty and at.
tractive as possible. And here is a hint
how to prepare green vegetables, es.
pecially green peas. When you cook
the vegetables put them in an uncovered
dish, and keep them uncovered all the
time they are cooking. If you see to it
that your cook prepares the green peas
in this way, you will have them served
looking as green and fresh as when they
were first picked from the vines.

Lay the Innings on the floor, putting a

rolling it in the direction in which it is
to be laid. Begin to tack it mt the end
Of the room which is the most ire gular.

When the carpet is fitted to place, US,
small tacks to keep it down. Take one
