Did you ever wish to color frosting
or cake lovely pink and have moth
ing at hand with which to do it2 Next
time try beet juice. Cut a blood tur-
nip beet in three slices, boil in very
little water and use the liquid thus
obtained. If you would like to have
some always ready for use, take some
beets and a little more water, but do
not boil too long or the color will be
ruined. To cupful of the liquid add
cupful of granulated sugar, boil
twenty minutes and bottle, or you
may add small quantity of gelan-
tine and put in jelly tumblers The

Linen cloth was occasionally used
for writing purposes, but was never
very common. Linen manuscripts
have been found folded in mummy
cases, and the Chinese, before the in
vention Of paper, used silk and cotton
cloth. The Romans also wrote upon
linen. The use of this ma terial intro
duced a change in the manner of writ
ing. The other substances were rath-
er engraved than written upon, an
iron point being used for the purpose.
To write upon linen it was necessary
to have some coIored fluid which
might get dry and leave permanent
mark. The first ink used was prob
ably some sort of SCOT Or lamp black,
mixed with size or gum water, and the
first instrument answering to our pen
was reed.

SOAP TO WHITEN THE HANDs.-To
make a soap that will whiten the
hands, as no other soap will, put two
pounds of white bar soap into thin
shavings and put them into a tin pail,
with barely water enough to cover
them. Place the pail in a kettle Of
boiling water, and when its contents
are melted stir thoroughly and add a
quarter of a pound of almond oil and
quarter of a pound Of powdered bo
rax. Mix all together by stirring
well for ten minutes. Add a few drops
of oil of cinnamon or bergamont. Mix
well and turn the soap into deep
dish to cool. Before it is quite cold
take up in the hand and roll it in fine
white sand and corn meal, equal guam
4ities Of each, and roll it into balls.
The older it becomes the finer it is to
use.

LADIES' COLUMN.

AN IDEA FOR BREAKFAST. Apple
crusts are excellent for breakfast or
for simple dessert. Cut the crust
from small slices of bread Of medium
thickness, spread them with butter
and sprinkle them with sugar and a
little spice of some kind. Pare tart
apples, cut them in pieces the size of
the bread squares and scatter with SUI
gar and trife of spice. Bake in the
oven until the apple is cooked, and
serve hot. Other fruits that are
quickly cooked Or preserves may be
used in the same way, emitting the
spice. If peaches or a fruit jam are
used, a hot sauce, whipped cream or
added to the crusts after
they are taken from the oven, will
change this simple into quite an ele-
CANT sweet dish. The apple crusts
are specially nice for children's des-
serts.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To restore shabby velvet mix two
tablespoonful ofliquid ammonia with
half a pint of warm water and apply
it to the velvet with brush, rubbing
it well into the pile so as to take out
all the stains. Then hold it over hot
fat-iron until the steam raises the
pile and it is perfectly dry.
An old horsehair sofa that had seen
its best days was transformed by
clever hands by saving off the back
and converting the seat into a divan.
This was accomplished by replacing
the horsehair with a pretty wild rose
cretonne and covering large square
pillows with the same material.
For Kentucky potatoes slice some
raw potatoes very thin; let them re-
them in a baking dish, cover with
milk, add salt and pepper. Place in
an oven, and as the top browns stir
them. Repeat until the potatoes are
soft and tender.
Kerosene oil is useful in cleaning
zinc and tin, and will remove spots
that will mol yield to soap It may be
used upon door knobs of plain bronze
to brighten them. Fly spots upon
picture frames may be treated in the
way, touching them with little of
the oil on soft cloth. A liberal ap-
plication will do more hurt than good.
To keep jellies from moulding, COW
er them over with pulverized sugar
to the depth Of quarter Of an inch.
They will keep for years if this is
done.
China may be mended so strong
that it will never break again in the
same place. Make thick solution of
gum arabic and water, and stir in some
plaster Of Paris until the paste is very
thick; apply it with brush to the
edges of the broken china and set
them carefully together, tie string
around them and set away for three
days.
To keep high silk hat in fine con-
dition, use a pad made of velvet or
worsted plush, instead of brush for
brushing it, smoothing it over with a
soft silk handkerchief frequently. If
any rough spots appear in the nap,ap-
ply a fatiron (not too hot)a and smooth
them over, then use the pad and silk
handkerchief

An old man was leading thin old
horse across the commons in the
northern part Of the city, when pass
er-by asked him where he was going.
''Pm searching for bit of green for
the poor BEAST" he answered
"I'd send him to boue-yard or the
glue factory" said the other, con-
temptuously.
"Would you," asked the old man in
trembling voice, elf he had been the
best friend you had in the world, and
helped you to earn food for your fam
lily for nearly twenty five years? If the
children that's gone and the children
that's livin' had played with their
arms around his neck, and their heads
on him for a pillow, when they had
no other? Sir, he's carried us to mill
and to meetin'; am, please God, he
shall die like Christian, an I'll bury
him with these Old hands. Nobody'u
ever abuse old Bill; for, if he goes
afore me, there are those who are
paid to look after him.

who had accosted him; "there's diff
ference in people"
cay, and in horses, too" said the
old man, as he passed on with his
fourfooted friend.

"No, does he? I never noticed it,
"Of course you never did, said the
son pettishly. "You never notice any

"Perhaps not, my son. replied the
old man gently; "but there is one
thing I do notice, which you will

THE ANTIQUITY OF THE ARABIAN
HORSE

How far back do the pedigrees run
and what is the origin of the Arabian
horse? These questions it is impossi-
BILE to answer definitely. The Bedou-
ms themselves believe that Allah
created the equine genus on their soil.
The root Or spring Of the horse is,
they say,in the land of the Arab. This
pious belief is shared by few gener-
Gus souls in England and America,
small but devoted band, who gallant
ly defend the cause of the Arabian
horse against his only rival, the mod
ern English thoroughbred. Chief
among these faithful the late Major
r. D. Upton, who visited the des-
ert himself and who has recorded his
experience and his views.
Major Upton concluded that the
horse was found in Arabia not longer
than about 100 years after the deluge,
if indeed he did not fad his way there
Immediately after the exodus from the
ark, which is by no means improbable,
and this probability the author then
proceeds seriously to consider. Ac-
cording to Major Upton and a few
kindred spirits all other breeds are
and the only way to pro-
cure horsefesh in it's best and purest
form is to go back to fountain head
to the horse Of the desert

AT THE FooT OF rHR BAY .

Progress and improvements on
Wharves and Buildings.
There are a number of improvements on
the wharves and buildings at the eastern
end Of Bay street of which the public has
not been made aware and one OF the most
important of these is the extension and re-
modelling Of the Baltimore steamship COM
pany's wharves
These wharves handle an immense traffic,
and the business had long ago outgrown the
capacity Of tue small covered wharf they
had In the center Of their water front. They
have recently been entirely remodeled and
covered with shed over almost its entire
space. The portion Of the wharf next TO
the river has also been covered in order to
add TO the sheltered wharf space, and COW
cred extension of sixty feet front at the
eastern end has been aided.
A new office has been built up near Bay
street and the wagon platform changed, so
that teams no longer have to cross the rails
way tracks to carry on their traffic. The
6O-foot extension is used as a railroad plat
form, and facilities are thereby afforded for
handling twice as much business from the
railroads as formerly.
With the proposed improvements on the
street around the gas works, to which the
attention of the council has been called, the
arrangements for traffic at this wharf will
be almost complete. The company now
runs bwo steamers week to Baltimore, and
they are having about as much as they can
handle conveniently.
RoURKE's FOUNDRY.
Mr.. John Rourke, the proprietor of the
foundry and shops at the foot Of Bay, is
laying the foundations for two large struot-
ures in connection with the shops already in
operation.
One of these is to be foundry, which
will front on Bay street 150 feet, aud run
100 feet back 10 the river, while the other
is 20 be machine shop fronting seventy-flve
feet on Bay and also extending back Co the
river. The buildings are to be three stories
in hight, and equipped with all the modern
and improved machinery used in such in-
dustries.
THE NEW COAL sHUTEs.
The Tide Water Oil Company is also mak-
ing an excellent addition to their wharf ia
cilities in the shape of a new coal shute, or
rather three shures from one large bin, the
capacity of which is to be when, completed,
1000 tons.
Work is now going on upon this shute and
an elevator and other improvements are
being put in to make it first-class 10 every
particular.
This company's wharves are also being
fitted up lin other particulars, and they are
preparing to handle their business after the
most improved methods
These wharf improvements fall right in
line with those on the hRrbor and the work
Of securing deep water, and are but steps
toward increasing the traffic here to the
point where Savannah will stand on foot
ing with the foremost ports OF the country

EPIsooPAL ORPHANS, HOME.
The subscription Fund Not as Yet

The subscription Fund Not as Yet
Made Up.
While the subscription fund for the
Episcopal Orphan home has not yet been
made up, it is said to be a large one. and
one that will put the home on good fnan"
cial basis again.
1t is we'll known that the resources of the
orphans home lay mostly in securities Of
the Central, Southwestern and Georgia
Southern and Florida railroads, which de-
taulted in the payment of their annual
interest, and this cut into the fund on
which the home was dependent, to ma
tsrial extent.
The inheritance left to the home by Mrs.
DeRenne, after the death Of George Nutall
will soon be forthcoming, and the income
from that, together with the handsome fund
which has been donated by the charitable
people of the city will place the home on
firm financial basis again.
The children who are the inmates of the
home are now at Isle OF Hope, while the
building is undergoing thorough repairs.
Several days ago, after the scarlet fever
patients had entirely recovered, the house
was thoroughly fumfgated under the super
vision of Health Officer Drummer, and since
that time carpenters and painters have been
at work on the interiC~ putting 1t in good
condition. The work is going on now, and
will probably be completed by the first OF
the week, when the children will be brought
into the city again.
The home has about thirty inmates at
present, two Of them having recently died.
The institution is now in first-class condition
in all respects, and all danger of any fur
