LINoLEuM IN THE KITCHEN.

An authority on such matters recom>
mends thin quality of linoleum to be
used as a dado for the walls in a
kitchen. 1t should be glued close to
the wall, and may be finished at the
top with plain molding. 1t may then
be oiled or vanished, or left in its ma
tural condition, as one chooses. 1t is
in every way to be preferred to dado
of wood, which is liable to crack and
leave interstics in which insects may
lodge. The dado of linoleum is as
easily washed as dado of tiling and
is even more durable, while it is good
deal cheaper.
In the natural wood color in which
this material comes it would make a
very pretty dado for a wall painted
pale blue. AS linoleum is nothing
more than the blown pulp of wood,
combined with oxidized linseed oil, it
can be readily seen that it can be
treated in any way that wood can be
treated, while it is exactly suited to
this purpose and the purpose of COW
ering kitchen floors. A dado is almost
necessity in kitchen, because a
plastered wall gets Clipped with con.
tinual wear Linoleum offers just the
right material necessary for such pro-
lection. New York Commercial Ad.

Royal Blckwheats.

For generations it has been the Gus.
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain.
ing portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
If kept too warm, or not used
promptly, this batter becomes exces-
sively sour and Objectionable. Buck
wheat cakes raised by this means are
more often sour or heavy than light
and sweet. If eaten daily they dis
tions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Pow
der, mixing the batter fresh daily, and
find the result wonderfully satisfac-
tory. They are uniformly light and
sweet, more palatable and wholesome,
and can be eaten continuously without
the slightest digestive Inconvenience.
Besides they are mixed and baked in
moment, requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat flour
(not prepared" or mixed), one cup
of wheat flour, two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted well together. Mix
with milk into thin batter and bake
at once on hot griddle. Once prop
erly tested from this receipt, no other
buckwheat will find its way to your
table. Domestic Cookery.

Ferns 100 Feet High.

Ferns ever have and ever will come
in for full share of homage from the
worshipers at natures shrine. Their
delicate and graceful outlines, together
with the almost certainty that some
members of the family may be found
in their prime, whether sought in May
or December, if not buried in the
snow, assures for them prominent
place near the head of the list of desir-
able floral decorations.
They are found in all climes and
vary almost as much as do their sur
roundings. They revel in warm,
moist and equable climate, and are
now found in the highest state of lux.
uriance in the tropical islands of the
Pacific and on the low banks of the
Amazon. where they rival palms III
shape and often attain to the height OF
100 feet. More than 5000 species are
now known, of which the Philippine
Islands alone furnish 800, Java and
southeastern Africa 400.
Collectors ON the United States
steamer Albatross brought thirteen
species from the sterile shores oi
southeastern Patagonia. These have
been named by Professor D. G. Eaton,
of Yale College, and include represen.
tatives of seven genera, one of which,
aspidium aculeatum, is native of the
North Atlantic States. Four of the
eight suborders of living species, rep
resented by twenty-five genera ant
upward of sixty species and varieties
are Indigenous to our Northern States

UnWiSe Economy.

Do not buy anything that is not
needed because it is cheap. Nothing
is cheap to a purchaser that does not
meet an immediate want. Goods Mid
away rot, grow oid-fashioned, yellow,
and lose in value monthly. Bargain
counters are dangerous foes to true
economy, unless a awoman has the clear
headed wisdom to decide exactly what
she needs to purchase in advance, and
the firmness of character to resist the
willy assaults of the salesman who
makes unnecessary purchases seem at
tractive at the moment. If you need
articles displayed on the bargain

SOME ADVICE TO DRIVERS.

A driver gave his horse six quarts of
was usually fed. The harness was
being put on while the horse was feed
ing. The driver managed to get his
breakfast in the meantime. Shortly
everything was in readiness and the
horse was started on a long drive. The
driver urged the animal with the whip.
AT the end of thirty miles the horse
began to ignore that instrument. He
went slower and slower finally he fell
dead. Post-mortem examination
revealed the fact that the oats had not
been digested. The lining of the
stomach gave evidence of having been
in high state of irritation. 1t was
plain that the horses previous ac-
emulation of nerve power had been
largely exhausted in defending the
terrible irritation set up by the sharp
points of the undigested oats Had the
horse been permitted to stand, or lie
down for an hour after feeding he
would have prepared not only a re-
serve of material TO sustain himself,
but the amount of nourishing material
accumulated would have helped him to
endure his exhaustive journey. Time
is required for the digestion of food
before beginning long muscular
strain. 1t must also seem clear that
when the effort at hard labor ends,
time should be given for rest before
taking food. Rider and Driver.
