they will do more than their lords and

A good knife of moderate size and

Impossible. In carving beef, mutton,
lamb and veal, thin, smooth neat slices
are desirable, They should always be
cut across the grain, taking care to
pass the knife through to the tones of
the meat.
In carving a leg of mutton the best
slices are obtained from the center and
the next best from the broad end The
pieces from the part next the llnucllle

yields its best slices from the end near
the tenderloin. If it is cut through in
this part the pieces must be fairly
thick; if long, thin slices are desired it
should be cut across.
In carving turkey or chicken place
the head to the right, cut off the wing
nearest, then the leg, and then the
second joint; then slice the breast until
rounded piece appears. Insert the
knife between that and the bone and
separate them; this is considered the
best part q the bird. Next comes the
"merry-thought." After this turn over

breast will be found the "oyster,"
which can be separated as the inner

taken out without separating the whole

the other side.-N. Y. World.

How to Keep Ants Away.

In recent issue OF the Old Home
stead, we read this about keeping ants
away, and as it may help some bee
keeper who is troubled by ants, we
give it place here: Rub a lighfflm-
coat of balSam Peru around near the
bottom of table or kitchen safe legs
Just a narrow band will do-and renew
the balsam every two or three weeks
This will keep ants away from tables,
kitchen safes, etc, and what they hold
or contain, provided there is no other
ANYWAY than up the legs. One drop of
balsam Peru spread around the upper
part of a sirup bottle will keep the
ants away for months Boil one ounce
of balsam Peru in one gallon of rain
water for half an hour, and sponge this
water, while hot. over wooden floors
and walls, and it will keep ants away
for long time

Probably there never was a time
when bonnets were less visible. The
mechanical engineers definition of a
dress bonnet as "a washer for hat pin"
is stroke of genius.
The Frisian bonnet-so must call il
has reached the perihelion.
1t is nearest, that is, to the sun of
public approval and must soon pass
away into the aphelion of outer dark
ness, where there is wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth by the wraiths of fashions
long dead. A month or so ago it was in
the carriage and not on the sidewalk.
Now it is on the sidewalk and only oc-
casionally in the carriage. BY spring
neither place will know it more, unless
it proves to have the rare staying
power of a mode and not sub-mode,
modctte or module.
It's pity, too. The tiny cap close
covering the flat patted hair over the
skull and wandering away just above
each ear into two horizontal fam
shaped bow-ends, four inches long, tut
ting straight out from the head, is as
pretty upon round and rosy face as it
is absurd, which is saying great deal.
1t reminds me of the danes of Alllmaar
and Purmerend in the great Dutch
dairy vegion, more jealous of the repu-
tation of their butter than their own,
if that were possible.
Pretty as they are, these Holland
bonnets are giving way in their own

a large square gold buckle set into

four bows, long bows, black velvet

falls on each side black velvet end.
