But the Scotch pirate certainly suggested
his romance to Defoe, wherever that author

reason Juan Fernandez must be interesting to

veal and ham or chicken and tongue, and
to two tablespoonful OF meat add one of
reduced white sause. Make this stiff by
stirring over the fire until it gets thick
one tablespoonful offne -four, with one gill
of milk, or cream, or good, white broth ;
mix in two ounces of butter, stirring it
rapidly to prevent the sauce burning or
getting lumpy; add pepper, salt, and a
small pinch of nutmeg; when the sauce
is cold add a little salad. Mix it wit
the cold meat and fill the rolls, putting
in the round at the bottom.

about three-fourths full of water and
stir. Take little soda in the spoon and
stir it in the glass. A proiuse efferves-
cence will take place and it should be
drank before this ceases.
If ice water is used and the syrup is
kept on ice it will be found to equal the
best soda water fountain draught and at
very small expense. Try it. The above

who always has something nice for

Suggestions for Closets.

Very little attention is given as gem
eral rule to the construction Of closets
in a house and usually when 'tis too
late we see wherein we have erred. Fer
the benefit of those who have not yet
built homes we offer few suggestions
which it would be we'll to bring into play.
The average height of woman is feet
2 inches, but rarely does one find a
house in a city or country in which any
attention has been paid to this fact in
arranging the closets. The hooks are
usually placed about six feet from the
floor and above them is placed a shelf
which is almost useless, unless woman
mounts on chair every time she wishes
her bonnet or shawl. In the ideal closet
the hooks are only four and one ha feet
from the floor and the shelf two or three
inches above them. The closet should
be supplied with yokes,a clothing Of all
kinds keeps in much better shape when
hung On yokes. The floor Of closets
should be smooth, and all cracks should
be filled up that dust may not collect
therein.
Putty, plaster of paris or even finely
shredded newspaper may be used to fill
up the cracks. Make paste with the
paper by adding hot water and little
glue. Plaster of paris is simplest and
most satisfactory for this purpose. Mix
the powder with enough cold water to
make the paste of the right consistency
to spread and then fill in the cracks.
After the plaster is hard give the 6oor
two coatings of paint to make it l,ok
sm Doth and neat. This latter item is of
no little Importance to Florida partic-
ularly.

Don't Grow Old.

"My dear Disconnected sister, why all
these frowns?" Listen while I tell you q
secret. You wonder why you are grow
ing old SO fast. Do you not know it is
your own restlessness that is doing it.
A sensible writer says, and she speaks
truthfully, that discomfort invites age.
Indulging in the unrest Of the unsatis-
fed is destructive to looks and temper.
In his "Story OF Country Town." Mr..
f. W. Howe says, "Be content il it kills
you" The advice is not so bad as it
looks. Contentment and stagnatiOn are
not necessarily synonymous. One may
be free from worry while striving for
higher planes or work. Woman should
have the courage of repose. 1t is in
fnitely better than the morbid con-
scentiousness that gOads to endless toll.
Effective work requires effective rest.
Judicious mental work may help to lift
one out OF the ruts of premature old age.
Read and think of what you read. DON'T
use your mind as if it were sieve and
you were trying to see how much you
could pour through it. There is a belief
extant that knowledge, if gained at all,
must be acquired = 'uth. Fallacious
theory! Behold ciaineo at three score
and ten pursuing his studies with IN
tagging zeal, Cato beginning Greek when
advanced in years, Ogilvy commenced
classical studies when past fifty! Glad
stone is as much the student to day as
when the bloom of youth mantled his
cheek.
Be kind to the feelings and fancies OF
youth. II they prove perennial, so much
the better. Don't forbid yourself glad
recreative thought and action. Don't be
ashamed to make yourself as pretty as
you can. A sensible woman may feel a
thrill of pleasure innocent as maiden's
when receiving a glance OF respectful admi-
ration from manly man. Smile without
affection, be pleasant without being silly
in short. be y ung as long as you can.

Care Of the Washing.

Again and again housekecpers are told
never to allow linen to become thorough
ly dry before ironing, for it is almost out
of the question to make it smooth after
once wrinkles are dried into it. In hang
ing out linen special care should betaken
to shake it and smooth it so that no
creases caused by wringing it shall be
left in. Some house keepers-those who
have small washes and plenty of time
shake towels out thoroughly, fold the
two ends together and pin the fringe to
the line, putting one pin at each corner
and one in the middle. They claim that
the constant whipping OF the fringes
wears the ends of the towel out much
more quickly than necessary.
There is q good theory in this, and the
additional time is worth while, unless
strength and help are of more impor-
lance than towels.
Pillow cases should be turned wrong
side out and pinned by the closed end.
Exception to this rule may be made on
dull or damp days, when the clothes dry
slowly-then they should be pinned to
the line at one side of the open end, but
is worth while for convenience in iron
ing to change them and let them finish
drying pinned by the closed end-New

Phys ical ulture Of your Children.

1t is the duty of every parent to exer-
else care in seeing that his children re-
ceive az good IN education as they can
afford to give them. but it is also their
dn;y TO see that their physical culture is
attended to. This is matter that is
frequently sadly neglecten. Many a
youth and maiden receive al excellent
education in the English branches, in
music, and literature, and upon reach
ing manhood and womanhood they may
be termed "cultured." Quite often,
however, their physical condition is very
unsatisfactory. They have developed
their brain and nervous system TO an
abnormal extent, while their muscles
are f1abby and soft, their lungs shrunken
and their blood impoverished by the
mental strain, Which has n t been
counterbalarced by proper exercise.
NJ matter how we'll educated any young
m an may be, unless he is blessed with
health he vii not be able to reach that
decree Of success in life which be other
wise would be, were be endowed with
robust and healthy constitution. Too
little Importance is paid to the physical
culture of our youth. Every boy shout /
b made to indulge regularly in exercise
calculated to develop his muscles,
strengthen his sinews, and increase the
capacity of bis lungs. Aside from lay
ing the foundation of long and useful
life, such a course at any moment may
save life. The ability of a boy to run at
a good speed. to leap fence or climb a
tree, may save his life from mad bull
