BEST WAY TO COLOR LACE best
way to color lace is to make strong
decoction of tea, strain it, reduce it to
the exact tint required, the favorite
one of the day being light straw color.
Rinse the lace in it when it is cold. Do
not attempt to wiring it, but press it
with the hands till partially dry Spread
it on clean ironing board and care
fully separate the delicate points so
that the pattern can be preserved.
This is often great Improvement to

SWEET PEA RAISING. Here is the
secret in the success Of sweetpearais
ing-to have the brush high enough,
to have them stuck firmly in the
ground, and have enough Of the
brush. But the labor is amply repaid,
for after this is done there is nothing
to do but to pull the large weeds as
they grow up among the vines, occa-
sionally loosening the soil around the
roots, and gathering the bouquets of
condensed sweetness from July to
October. A good way is to put brush
first on one side and then on the 9th
er, some four inches apart, inclining
them to the opposite side, and stick
In the small switches where the brush
is not bushy enough to properly sup
port the vines. After the vines begin
to bloom, the blossoms must be gath
cred every day, or at least every 9th
er day, for if they are allowed to go to
seed the blooming will cease.

A STICK-PIN SEASON. - Every wo-
man owns a comb, with big fancy
top. When she is in the house she
sticks it upright in the top of her
head, SO that she looks very fornnida-
BILE. When she goes in the street with
her bonnet on she takes out the comb
aud puts it in her back hair IN such a
way that it does great execution IN
the way of keeping her hat in place,
and it likewise makes an ornament.
Look at the back of the head OF the
next woman that you meet and notice
the array Of pins. There IS, first of
all, the great big pin stuck in the back
of the hair, upright and aggressive.
Then there is the hat pin. Two or
three daggers cross each other almost
anywhere among her braids and fan
cy pin holds on Der veil, while anoth-
er pins her bonnet strings on to the
back of her hat. 1t is a stick pin sea-
son. and no mistake.

The two talked SO loud and appeared
to be so angry that the attention of all
the passengers in the car was directed
to them. They seemed as mad as two

then those two conductors were having
a big lot Of fun all to themselves and
they kept it up with increasing vehe-

BOILED GREENS IN SEASONAL this
season the true value Of boiled
greens should be appreciated. Al
ter the heavy diet of winter, the home
ly wild herbs, dandelion, ragweed and
purslane, plantain and other greens
which come before the garden spin
ach is ready, should not be despised.
Dandelion is especially valuable as a
tonic, and either bleached as salad
or as 'sgreens" for boiling. 1t is extern
sively gathered by people in the sub
urbs Of Albany for the market. While
it is madness to select wild greens
from plants that you nothing about,
there are a great many wild plants,
comparatively unknown, which are
valuable in green's. Sorrel is sold reg
ularly in the markets, and is very
much used.

A good use for stale bread after 1T
has become SO dry it can not be eaten
is to CRATE and preserve it in wide
mouthed bottles or jars. When kept
well covered up, and in dry place, 1T
will keep good for a considerable time.
Bread thus powdered will be found
very useful for the preparation of
pudding, stuffings, and similar pur-
noses.

years old, regular in attendance
upon the means of grace and

departure her friends had gwen
her up as beyond recovery, but was
partially restored so she was able to
visit a few of her neighbors, but
when la grippe took hold in in ad-
dition to heart disease from which
she had been suffering for years,
she knew her end was near. She
was conscious until the closing
hours Of life and after arranging
for her burial she peacefully fell
asleep in Jesus. or the twelve liv-
ing children all were at the funeral
except Charles, Mary Jane, Samuel

tance. Some Of her noble sons and
daughters are active members Of the
church, whilc some Of them arc

cannot be filled.
