NIT. NIurDhy's Ticket,

It is often remarked that an unac- customed traveller can get on pretty well if he will keep his eyes and ears open. A native of Ireland landed at Greenock, and wanted to take the train to Glasgow.
 Never having been in railway sta tion before, he did not know how to get his ticket, but he saw lady going in, and determined to follow her lead.
 The lady went to the ticket box, and putting down her money, said: Mary hill single"
 Her ticket was duly handed to her, and she walked away.
 Pat promptly planked down his mon- ey, and shouted: Patrick Murphy, riedr'-Youth's Companion.

little room to exercise much dressmak- ing skill, unless it be in the "set" of the shoulders and collar, the pattern may very well be omitted.
 The blankets come in very pretty colors with contrasting borders. The one in the Illustration is light gray with scarlet border, and the border runs around the bottom of the wrap. If 1t is preferred, the border may extend up and down the front, on either side of the buttons, but in that case there is usually none left for the sleeves and collar and pocket, or, at least, not enough to trim them all, unless the man or woman to wear the garment is conveniently short in stature. Where the bordering runs about the bottom, there is quite sure to be enough left, with bit of squeezing, for the collar, sleeves, etc., and some scraps from which to fashion the little straps over the belt. Flat, smoked pearl buttons of goodly size run from throat to hem eight of them being enough for belt and all, as they do not need to be set near together, at alL
 The wrap must be as long as possi- ble, as 1t is designed to reach the floor and form an effectual covering from the cold, when one must get up in the small hours of blustery winter night to answer Q bclated ring at the door bell, or to run into the children's room to make sure small feet are in their ap- pointed place under the quilts. It may be kept close beside the bed, ready to throw on at a minutes notice, or it may be worn all night as Q supple mentary nightdress when the ther- mometer is especially unfriendly. At nll events, it Is sure to prove a contin- ual comfort and blessing to its owner, and prophetic soul might safely prophecy that 1t would ward off a round dozcn-a bakers dozcn-of colds before its mission was over.
 Just now, as the Christmas time is almost upon us again, this warm wrap may offer timely hint. Surely it will make an acceptable gift for my lord of the manor, and one that will ''warm the cookies of his heart" and body.- Annie Hamilton Donnell, in Country Gentleman.

CARE OF SILVER.
How to Clean the Dining. Room and Bou-
 doir Appointments.

How to Clean the Dining. Room and Bou-
 doir Appointments.
 Do not rub silverwarc with soap. Even good kitchen soap is coarse to be used on any scratchable stuff. Instead dissolve soap in boiling water and wash the silver in the suds. Rinse in clear hot water, dry and rub with chamois.
 When silver-cleaning day comes the silver should be washed and dried as above. Then pure whiting, moistened with alcohol, should be applied with a soft rag, rubbed off with another, brushed to remove the dust from the chasing, polished with chamois and set away to delight the eyes of its owner with its glitter.
 In these days when hatpins, hair pins, calendar-holders, brushes, combs and mirrors are so largely made of sil- yer, a bedroom silver-cleaning formula is as necessary as the dining-room one. Prepared chalk, alcohol or ammonia, which also have places on the toilet table, flannel rag, brush and a piece of chamois are the necessary ap- paratus. A little paste of ammonia or alcohol and chalk, applied with fan nel, allowed to dry md brushed out, will make even heavily-chased bit of silver bright, and the chamois will give the necessary glitter.

Rich Coverings for Beds.

Ladies interested in needlework are giving much attention now to bed spreads; white coverings are no longer sufficient for people with luxurious tastes; some of the recently-fnished appointments for bedrooms have real significance;. in the first place the bed stands on dais and commands the room, and in addition to its own rich ness of carving and inlay of precious woods, it IS hung and covered with the richest of stuffs; very elegant cover ing for one of these regal beds is of canary-coiored Tussah silk, embroid- cred with struggling branches of the wild rose, wrought with embroidery silk and fine crewels; the combination of the silk and crcwel is very happy one; the lining Of the spread is tur- quolse blue silk, and the edge is fin iShed with heavy blue silk cord.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Too SMALL a figure in wall paper de- stroys the effect.
 A BREAD cloth should always be sweet and clean. and never used for any other purpose.
 SPoNGING the face and hands with a weak extract of pennyroyal will keep away mosquitoes, and will allay the pain from their bites.
 SPoTs and dirt may be removed from paintings and chromos by using a cup of warm water to which few drops of ammonia have been added.
 A GOOD broom holder may be made by putting two large escrews-nails will answer-into the wall about two inch es apart. Drop the broom between them, handle downward.
 ANY woman doing her own work may so systematize it that it will be tho easiest possible for her. She need not follow any other persons methods, un- less they are the very best for her own conditions.
 IT pays well to do the mending be- fore the article goes into the wash, since the processes to which it is there subject materially enlarge the holes, and it is better and more agreeable to wear if the washing follows the mending. .E
 THERE is false economy which costs more than it returns; such as saving old medicine bottleS nartiallv uSad prescriptions, the tacles taken from the carpet, or working days to save or make that which can be bought for a few cents.
 THERE is nothing which the average husband better appreciates than tidy, well-ordered home, with place for everything, and everything iA its place. On the other hand, there is no more potent source of domestic unhappiness than disorder in the living apartments. T. Rue, in Good Housekeeping.

sREkD-MAKING MADE EASY.
A New Method Which Requires Very Little
 Exertion.

New Method Which Requires Very Little
 Exertion.
 It is one of the fine arts of life to do thing in some easy and practical fash ion. Who ever invents Ol devises a way to save labor. to do two things with tho same amount of tax and exertion usual ly required for one. has conferred q lasting benefit on mankind. Particu- larly is this the case in household af- fairs The difficulty of getting compe- tent help and the burden of domestic care seems to increase with every year, and easy ways to do things are of un- spealsable value, especially to delicate women who have everything to look after, and in emergencies must take up the entire labor of the esta blishment.
 A new idea in bread-making is we'll worth the attention of every woman, whether she be delicate or care-bur- dened or not. A semi-invalid makes bread without weariness by a simple process. Instead of the usual llnead- ing and mixing she uses chopping. knife. SprinlIling on very little flour, she chops the sponge for five or ten minutes two or three times during the rising process. No kneading is re- quired except just enough to put it in- to shape when it is ready for the pans She never uses a bread-board, but spreads a large cloth-folded over to several thiclInesses-on the table, covers it thick with flour, and shapes the bread out on that, taking care that no dough sticks to the cloth. With this chopping process, it is impossible to handle the dough in an extremely soft state. This insures more moisture in the bread and much longer keeping qualities. Biscuit and other similar articles are made in the same way, the kneading process being almost entire ly dispensed with, nothing more being necessary than dexterous handling and a little care that the dough does not stick to the cloth. It is a well-under- stood fact that biscuits, to be good, must be very soft when put into the pans, and in no other way can this be managed as easily as by the method just described. N. Y. Ledger.

Do Not Be Critical.
Days.

What ever you do never set up for a critic. I do not mean newspaper one, but in private life, in the domes- tic circle. If you don't like anyone clse's nose or object to anyone's man. ners, don't put your feelings into words. If anyone's manners don't please you remember your own. Peo- pie arc not all made to suit ones tastcJ recollect that. Take things as you find them unless you can alter the1u for the better. Continual fault-fnd- ing, continual criticism of the conduct of this one, and the speech of that one, and the dress of the other will mako home the unhappiest place under the sun. Always tugging and working at the chain that gals only makes it dig deeper.-Chicago Tribune.

His Own Offspring.

There was a crowd of excited darkies in dark alley gathered around two negro boys who had clinched each other and were fighting away for dear life on the ground. There was one negro man present, and he urged the conbatants not to give up.
 "Gouge him in de eye, Bill! Sam, if you give in I'll tan yer hide fer yer. If you whip Bill Pse got a quarter fer yer. Chaw de end of his nose, Sam"
 A well-dressed gentleman stopped and said to the negro man:
 You ought to be ashamed of your self to encourage those boys to fight"

The Style in Dancing,

Bobbing in dancing will not be seen this season. Everything is to be glide, with the motion from the knee, not from the hips, and the weight of the body coming on the ball of the foot. The big sleeve tops, short full dresses, and the long-tailed coats of the men make it absolutely necessary to go slow. The popular round dance may be the 1.-two step," which is an old dance pop ular during the second empire, which can be danced to marching music.

Afghan Making.

Bits of worsted always accumulate in family where much work is car ried on. It is good thing for some member of it to have always an afghan in course of construction, to which these odds and ends can go. The mak- ing is a clear pleasure, it is so simple and satisfactory, and there are several patterns that call for many shades of yarn. An afghan is in constant re- quest; not, as once for the carriage, but to keep at hand when one lies down, to make a light covering to throw over one. When all the materials were bought outright it made about as ex- pensive piece of work as could be en- gagged upon. But by adopting this "hit.or-miss" plan it is quickly and cheaply obtained.-N. Y.
