"The Eelp Yourself Hotel"

American ingenuity and enterprise
have invaded the staid old town of
Frankfort on the Main, Germany. A
syndicate has purchased several lots op-
posite the chief railway depot with the
intention of building large hotel, which
will be conducted on a unique plan.
There will be 106 compartments, all
equally large and furnished in the same
style. An excellent name for it would
be "Tne Help Yourself Hotel" Each
guest will be required to attend to MS
wants'i person, thus doing away with
fee hungry servants, waters and others
OF their ilk. As the hotel is intended
for the benefit of those who are not
blessed With financial plethora the guests
will have to brush their own clothes aud
shoes in spacious courtyard, or, if they
so prefer, they may have it done for
them by paving the small sum of ten
Ifennigs. On the ground floor will be
"A restaurant, containing one large cir
cuiar table, where tea, coffee or chocolate
with cake may be obtained for less than
fifteen cents. The hotel is now in pro-
cess of construction, and will soon be
ready for occupation. New York Press.

now TO MAKE RAG CARPETS.

In nearly all farnhouses rag carpets
are used, and they are admirably lapted
for the purpose, though the making OF
them is no uncomfortable task for the
busy housewife, but this may be rendered
less formidable by little forethought.
Each week when the ironing is being
done, discard all sUcl garments as are
unfit for further wear, remove the but
tons, and cut and tear the rags ready for
sewing. Pace each color in bunch by
itself, if you are intending to make your
carpet striped. Try to get the rags all
sewei up once year at least. Take
day or evening. when other duties are
not very pressing, threat the machine
with No. 20 thread, Of color to suit the
rags, lap aud fold the ends of two strips
as if to ue srNel by hand, start in at the
side Just back OF the beginning OF the
lap, run sIantingiy to the center, sen the
length of the lap, and slant to the edge,
insert another without breaking the
thread or lifting the presser- foot, AMI
continue adding length alter length.
When the bunch Of rags is finished, clip
all the threads Gg-!, and then wind the
rags into balls.
Do not mix mems heavy cloth in your
carpet with the finer cotton rags, but
make them into rugs instead, using only
cotton rags, cut fine and sewed neatly,
il you wish nice smooth carpet, and
one that will not be so heavy as to DO

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
sruFFINe FoR FOWLS.

1t is one of the easiest tasks to stuff a
FOWL if Que goes about it in the right
way. The first necessity IS somewhat
dry, home made bread. 1t is all very
well TO talk about bakers bread, but
there are many cooks who claim that
really excellent stuffing cannot be made
from il.
Select well dried loaf or little scraps
cut off from any burnt portion, but not
the crust. Butter the slices and sprinkle
them with salt AMI pepper aud little
sage, thyme or summer savory, accord
ing as one may like those seasoning;
then dust over these pieces che tiniest
speck OF baking powder. Cut the slices
into dice and ill the bird with these
until no more can be pressed in. Close
the bird with skewers, tie the wings
down with strings and fasten the legs to
the body in the same way. Very thin
slices of salt pork should be cut and laid
over the exposed portions of the fowl,
the breast and legs especially being more
likely to scorch than any of the other
parts. Thesc slices are fastened in place
with small skewers, or, if great pains is
taken to remove them, with large pins.
Every housekeeper should have set OF
small sized sSewers of metal expressly
for this purpose. When the bird is
ready, put it into the oven and add at
least half a pint of water, or what is
better, good soup stock. Basic the fowl
every fifteen minutes and keep careful
watch of it until done.
Almost every one becomes familiar
with her own oven, and the time that is
consumed in making various articles.
There is one thing that must not be over
looked, and that is that all meats OF
whatever sort should be thoroughly
cooked. The rare-mect idea is an ex-
ploded one, aud the time is not far dis
taut when to eat it will be looked upon
as almost barbarism. OF all unsaisfac.
tory and lnGigestible dishes an ill.cooked
is the worst.
Prepared in the above way, the stuff.
ing OF chicken or turkey resolves itself
into the work OF few minutes. Tue
continual basting gives the necessary
moisture to the dressing, the baking
makes it light as feather, and the soup
or other gravy gives the flavor that cpl
cures like so well.-New York Ledger.

NATURAL GAS.
A Brief History of the Rise aud Fall OF
This Fuel.

- br1eT HISTORY oil the hlse ana tAl OF
This Fuel.
The history OF the rise of natural
gas for manufacturing purposes in
Pittsburg is an interesting one, says
the Chronicle-Telegraph Of that city.
1t was about the middle of May,
1884, when it displaced coal In the
first iron mill in this city. The first
of that month it was used for the
first time in an extensive industrial
works, in the O'Hara glass house at
Thirtieth street and the Allegheny
Valley Railroad. About the fifteenth
of the month it took the place OF
5000 bushels of coal in the Carnegie
mill at Twenty-ninth street. Not I'M
til early in November was it intro
duced in the mill of this firm at
Thirty-third street, where it took the
place Of 1000 bushels of coal daily.
While the use of natural gas was
very satisfactory, the slowness at
tending its introduction was remark
able. 1t was about the middle Of
the summer Of 1885 before it was
used Ia half Of the iron and steel
works In the Pittsburg district, and
it was fully three years before it took
the place OF coal in all of them.
There was considerable trouble in
securing manufacturers to make the
change The low rate offered to the
firms was not so much of an object as
the room saved by absence Of ashes.
There was no trouble in recon-
structing the furnaces from coal to
the use Of natural gas, yet this re-
tarded its early Use somewhat.
Among the first along the MOnon-
gahela River to adopt it was Jones &
Laughlins, in the winter of 1854, in
the American Iron Works. To
guard themselves against possible
trouble they only remodeled por-
tion Of their works. About six
months after it was used with salts
faction in these works it was used in
all the mills along this river and the
Ohio, excepting in those of the Oliver
Iron Company.
Beginning with 1889, the gradual
abandonment Of natural gas in the
local mills where natural gas Is still
being used in pudding furnaces are
those Of A. NJ. Byers & CO., Zug s.
Co., Brown s. Co., and the Carnegie
mill at Thirty-third street. These
four mills run 1862 furnaces of this
kind, besides the heating furnaces
and the tube works of the firm first
named. There are few mills in
which gas is still used in the heating
furnaces, but altogether it has al
ready given away to fully 200, 900
bushels Of coal daily.
The idea that the supply OF natur-
al gas would never be exhausted was
only entertained for about a year
from 1887 to 1888. After that there
were many evidences that the supply
would not hold out. During this
year there were some firms who be-
came imbued with the idea that all
they had to do was to dig a well any
where and they oeuld soon getenough
gas to supply them. There very few
accidents In any Of the mills caused
by gas
