Points in Good Housekeeping.

A woman who looks well to the ways
of her household should know how long,
under ordinary circumstances, certain
supplies, such as tea, coffee, butter,
sugar and coal should last. 1t is by
no means proof of a niggardly house
wife to do so, but it is her duty to her
self and family to know what use III
made of those articles which she pro-
vides. This duty may be done so tact
fully that no maid could dream of TAX
ng offense, or in a way to antagonize.
When accounts are kept, that is, when
the mistress writes down in her order
ing book the exact quantity she wishes,
with the date of the order, the matter
is easily managed.-N. Y. Post.

Don't Write When Angry.

Never write letter to man, WON.
an or child when you are angry with
the person in question, or perhaps, ]
had better qualify my advice by beg
ging you. one and all, never to send an
angry letter for 4S hours after you have
written it, and then l would suggest
reading it carefully, and, as the Irish
man said, burning it before sending it. =
We have many of us exhausted all our
rage in the fire of the letter-writing
and have felt all the delights of a battle
won by the prowess of our pens without
the hackneyed formality of posting the
epistle. Who is there who has not
written his anger out in this wholesome
way! Do not, l pray, send a cruel let
ter to anyone you have ever loved. You
will but live to regret the act, and pos
sibly with the pallid silence of death
between you and the wounded one. If
mortals were, in these prosaic days,
gifted with invisible powers, L would
wish to be that spirit endowed with a
force which would arrest every angry
word at the tip of each sharp-pointed,
heart-breaking pen.-St. Louis Repub-
lilo

Uncle Jim was poo old black man,

FiRESIDE FRAGMENTS.

-Jellied Veal.-Boil the veal tender
pick it up fine, put in a mold, add the
water it was boiled in, and set it in
cold place; season with salt and pepper
to taste. A layer of hard-boiled eggs
improves it.-Home.
-1incture of grindelia is said to be
an excellent cure for ivy poison. Dilute
it with about three parts of water and
battle the affected parts. 1t should be
applied as soon as the irritation is felt
and before the characteristic pustules
appear.
"A good way to solve the problem of
how to take care of our dress waists in
these days of large sleeves that are SO
easily crushed is to screw several of the
frames on which mems coats are hung
into the ceiling of a wardrobe or on the
lower surface of a closet shelf and hang
the garments on them.
Rice Puffs.-To make a dozen, take
a cupful of cold boiled rice, two cupfuls
Of milk, pint of flour, teaspoonful of
salt, tablespoonful of melted butter,
and three eggs beaten to froth. Mix
thoroughly together in the order
named, have the gem pans hot when
filled, and bake for half an hour in a
rather quick oven. Serve hot, with
liquid sauce.-Good Housekeeping.
-Pistachio Cream.-Blanch one-half
pound of pistachio nuts and pound
them to paste with teaspoonful of
brandy. Add the paste to pint and a
half of good cream, sweeten to your
taste, add the yolks of two beaten eggs,
and stir it over the fire until it becomes
thick. Pour it into a glass dish, and
when cold stick long shreds of pistachio
nuts over the top.-Boston Budget.
"A Good Brown Bread.-Two cups OF
sour milk, one cup molasses, one cup
sifted graham -four one and a half tea
spoonfuls of baking soda, sifted with
one third cup of white flour, one tea
spoonful salt. Mix molasses and sour
milk, then stir in the meal and -four;
pour into two small, buttered pals and
steam three hours, then set in the oven
and bake from 20 to 80 minutes. Sweet
milk may be used if preferred. Do not
throw away the bran that is left after
sitting the graham flour. 1t makes an
excellent an nutritious jelly.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
Onion Tart.-Peel and slice the
onions thinly. Line dish with pastry,
| place n layer of onions in the bottom,
| sprinkle over pepper, salt, little flour,
| then more onions then salt and 1pDDer
until the dish is full. Pour over some
sweet cream or butter and milk, and
cover with pastry; bake until the onions
are tender. This is a delicious a.c m
paniment to the baked or boiled meats.
! Another method is to use alternate lay
ers of sliced onions and potatoes, both
raw, season with salt, pepper, butter,
and pour over little milk or water and
bake until done. No pastry is used i'll
the latter recipe. Both should be
served very hot.-Orange Judd Farmer,

New York and Brooklyn this boat sud-
denly quilted her respectable, though
somewhat monotonous, career, and be-
came a common tramp, without port or
destination.
The day awoke in fog such as the old
est inhabitant had never seen. The
East river was blocked with ice and
soon became shrieking bedlam of
cropping and bewildering craft, whose
pilots could scarcely see their hands be
fore their faces.
At half-past nine the "Rappahan-
mock left Brooklyn, well laden with
passengers, and started on her Gus
tomary trip almost directly across the
rivera very short and unusually easy
voyage. Before even reaching the mid
die of the stream, however, the ice and
fog had thrown her completely out of
her course. Back and forth, up and
down stream, the pilot vainly CROPPED,
amid the shrieking whistles, ringing of
foG bells and loud crash of ice powders,
until, in the confused clangor, he had
entirely lost his bearings.
When, after long and perilous bat
Ting with ice jams and many hair
breadth escapes from collisions, he sud-
denly sighted the landing place on the
New York side, he found it occupied by
a sister boat, which had been driven
there to avoid destruction. He backed
out, only to be lost again, and for three
hours this boat, now become mere
tramp wandered aimlessly up and
down the East river with its load of eN-
cited passengers, whose emotions
ranged anywhere between the rage and
Impotence of the belated Wall street
Spectator, to whom the delay might
mean a loss of $4,000. to the hysteria
OF Il nervous little woman who had left
her baby alone at home, and who begged
the other helpless passengers for the
love of heaven to help her set her feet
once more on land.
Between these two extremes of inDa-
thence and excitement was a small pro-
portion of passengers who remained
calm, even endeavoring to while away
The time by exchanging pleasantries
and making wagers as to the time of
thelf ueilNerance. Among these was
{, group of men in the cabin who, after
having read and reread the morning pa
pers, were casting about for some other
method of killing time. One suggested
Ii game of cards.
"Cards!" laughed one of his com
panions in misery. Who'd carry cards
on ferryboat? Who, outside of lu-
matte asylum, would start on a ten min
utes' voyage provided with games to
pass away the time?"
Here is a euchre deck which is at
your service
The speaker, evidently globetrot-
ter. drew from under the bench trav-
cling bag, so much worn and embel-
lished by tags, labels and hieroglyph-
les that it resembled some old veteran

certainly, if you will join us; but
what shall we do for table?'
Here is a camp STOOL" said the man
of the world. And in a moment four
men were sitting around it, cutting for
deal, which CHANGED to fall to the
stranger.
The cards were distributed rapidly,
and the dealer WIS about to turn the
trump when loud shrek pierced the
air and woman opposite suddenly
sank fainting to the floor.
Don't be alarmed, gentlemen; it is
nothing serious" said the dealer, calm
ly. THE lady simply caught sight of
her own frightened face in the mirror
and the shock caused her to faint. 1t
reminds me of a thrilling experience
an American traveller had while bump
ing through Syria. But, pardon me,
the camel"
Once more he made movement to
turn the trump, when one of the party
exclaimed:
"There can't he better time or place
than this for telling a thrilling expert
ence."
Yes" said another; do give us some
other kind of humping than we are
having here. Lets have the story be-
fore we begin the game"
Pie stranger leaned back, passed his
cigar case, and, having lighted a weed
himself, began:
at is an unwritten law among the
wild Bedouins east of the Red sea that if
an infidel traveller is attended on his
journey by one of the faithful he is safe
from the attacks of Mohammedan rob-
bers. As long as the Frank, as all for
eigners are called, is under the prote0-
4ion of the StaS and Crescent. the ras-

calls hand is stayed, and as they meet,
the villain, who would otherwise show
no quarter, salutes with the grave
suavity of a courtier. But let that
same traveller become separated from
the Arab guard that he has bribed to
give him safe conduct through his own
bandit-infested country, and he be-
comes legitimate prey. He will be
plundered and perhaps killed, or, worse,

tort any secrets of hidden spoil,

1.-The party in which this American
was travelling had been entering Syria
from the south, and were progressed
some twelve days from the sacred base
of old Sinai. At place called Bir-es-
Sheba, on the regular caravan route to
and from Mecca from the north, they
heard of some interesting archaeological
treasures Just unearthed some two days
journey to the east, and, having made
the detour, the party snugly encamped
by the side of beautiful stream under
the shadow of the Tubal chain of noun
tains.
The treasures were vastly exagger-
ated, as is the custom with everything
oriental, and they soon determined to
turn back to the caravan route and
bump on up into Syria-'bumping' be-
ing the familiar term for camel riding,
and a very expressive word at that.
But on the afternoon of the first rest
ing-day some one suggested jaunt to
a famous old well, where it was said
were some very ancient tumuli. But,
knowing the Bedouins to be conscien-
tious liars, and sick of this unrewarded
chase for phantom treasures the Ameri-
can begged to be left behind in charge
