To perfume bureau drawers rose
sachets are most desirable. They may
be made of cheese cloth or any thin
material, in cream or white, tied with
narrow bright ribbons, or colors ir
harmony with the toilet draperies can
be chosen. In size the sachets should
not exceed six inches in length and
four in width. Fill them with petals
freshly gathered, as such a small
quantity will not need drying, the air
circulating freely through and around
them. They may be refilled several
times during the season. 1t is much
better to enclose the leaves in this way
than to scatter them loosely through
the drawers as is frequently done, for
when they wither and dry up the re
suit is not pleasing. - Margaret D.
Brown, in American Farmer.

How to Clean Blankets.

Various methods of cleansing blan.
lsets appear in the newspapers with
periodical regularity Among them
the following has the merit of being
probably the least taxing to the
physical strength and the most
economical of any and at the same
time equal to any in efficacy: Pour
into the tub half pint of common
household ammonia, laying the blan-
let lightly over it, and Immediately
pour in enough warm water to entire
ly cover the blanket. This sends the
fumes of the ammonia through the
flbers of the wool and loosens the dirt
in way which seems little short Of
marvellous. The blankets should then
be pressed and stirred about with
stick till the water seems to have ac-
CURED its darkest hue, when second
tub of clear water of about the Same
temperature as the first should be
used in the same way, after which the
blanket should be run lightly through
the wringer and hung out to dry.

To Preserve Ounces.

Pare, quarter and core the ounces
and throw them into cold water Save
the parings and lznotty pieces for jelly,
being careful to reject the cores and
seeds, as they prevent the liquid from
jellying. When you have pared sufli-
Gent to make one or two jars, take
them from the water and put into the
preserving kettle; cover with boiling
water, bring to boil quickly, then
stand on the back of the range, where
they will cook slowly, until they can
be pierced with straw. While they
are cooking, put the sugar and some
water into another kettle, allowing
one-half pound of sugar and a half
pint of water for each pound of fruit.
Stir the sugar until dissolved, then
boil and skim. Lift the ounces from
the water and put them into the syrup
and cook slowly for ten minutes, and
can. If several jars are to be canned,
all the fruit should be boiled in the
same water, and this water saved to
boil the skins for jelly.

WOMAN AND HOME.
THE RHODoDENpRON.

Ono of the Most Charming Shrubs for
Northern Lawns In England 1t Is Also
Considered Ono OF tho incest Winter
Plants for the House-Dlrections for
Growing II.
Among plants for cool house decora-
ton and for evergreens out of doors,
the rhododendron takes n prominent
place. There are numerous species and
many varieties, but more that are UNI
named. 1t seems a pity that such a
handsome evergreen shrub like rhodo-
dendron maximum, which is indigen-
GUS to the United States, should be so
seldom seen in home grounds. 1t is
really better known in England than
here, and there it forms one of the
main features of the underground of
lawns and pleasure grounds. The
rhododendron is not perfectly hardy
in the ATTITUDES of New York and Bos-
ton, and requires some protection dur
ing the winter. On this account, and
also because of its greater cost over
many hardy, deciduous shrubs and
evergreens, it has not been planted OK
tensively except by people of wealth
who wish to keep up fine grounds and
who have gardener to care for them,
Because of the evergreen leaves Of
glaucous hue, if for nothing
more, the rhododendron should find
place ON every lawn, for the sake of
variety. Add to this its low growth
and beautiful flowers, and we have a
plant with few rivals. Still, amateurs
with but limited purse cannot afford
many plants, especially of the named
and grated sorts, but nurserymen are
offering unnamed seedlings at a moder-
ate price, and they are sure to give
satisfaction when planted singly or in
groups. Upon the lawn rhododend-
rons should have situation protected
from the cold sweeping winds of
winter. They like q light loan,

oueer Cats In a Church Shire.

Three cats of species said to be un.
known were discovered recently in the
spire of church at Brighton, Mass.
The cats are covered with a coat of
long, shaggy fur; their teeth are long
and are almost like tusks- On the nose
of each is a large tuft of hair resem-
bling tusk. They are very agile and
pring from rafter to rafter with the

The remark was made recently by

was called forth by conversation on
the subject of the use of gas and cleo
tricity in place of coal. The former
is used in many kitchens with great
satisfaction, but the latter, as yet,
is too expensive for common use and
requires special attachments for
using.

was started many Of the crowd were
drunk and ugly.

when an alteration arose he promptly
pitched into the referee aud felled him
with couple of blows with his fists. In
an instant the pit was filled with men in
a rough-and-tunble fight, and amid the
mass OF men the pair OF dogs continued
the battle. Revolvers were fourished,
lamps were overturned aud extinguished,
and the dog-fighting tournament ended
In free fight among the promoters OF
the event. The referee was knocked sense
less aud his face was horribly dIhgured by
the boots OF assailants who kicked him
after he had been knocked out. The
crowd then dispersed.
