Hints For the Laundry.

Shirt bosoms, collars and cuffs should be dipped into boiling starch into which & small piece of lard has been melted before being hung on the line. They should afterward be dipped into cold starch. This should be thoroughly rub bed into the articles, which should then be tightly rolled in a clean cloth for a few hours before ironing. A dull finish is considered i'll better taste than a pol ish. If, however, a polish is desired, an iron comes especially for the purpose.

 The Sunbonnet Vote In New Zealand.
 In one of the big towns in New Zea- land the nominating convention chose as candidate after heated session man whose morals were not blameless, and who in addition had objected to the edu cation of women, on the ground that it spoiled them for housekeeping. The news spread from the nominating con- vention half through the town. In that hot climate many of the women wear large sunbonnets, something like the poke bonnets which are in vogue in the country towns of our own country. There were a number of women in the grocery store buying butter and provi sions when the news arrived. There was a brief interchange of remarks, and ev- cry one went directly home. The houses there are separated by fences or trellises covered with roses, morning glories and scarlet creepers.
 In two minutes after their arrival home each woman had repaired to her fence, called up her neighbor on either side and had transmitted the tidingS with more or less emphatic opinions upon the action of the convention. Per sons who passed that afternoon said that wherever they went they saw nothing but couples of sunbonnets in earnest but subdued conversation. Within an hour every woman in the town had been com municated with in sunbonnet fashion. Before breakfast, it is said, every hus- band had pledged himself to an indig- nant wife.
 The campaign, brief one, went through with singular apparent apathy. The luckless candidate, who had been fearful that his past would be overhaul ed, was joyful and confident of election by handsome majority, but when the votes were counted he was buried by a majority so large as to astound every politician in the colony. The next day the only newspaper which had support ed him ill the district announced its dis comfiture ill the simple lines, "He was buried forever by 5000 sunbonnets. '- New York Mail and Express.

THE INDISPENSABLE LEMON.
A Few of the Many Dishes Improved b
 Its Agreeable Acidity.

Its Agreeable Acidity.
 The variety of uses to which the lemon may be put makes it almost indispensa- ble to good housekeepers, and it's agree able acidity gives it value incidentally and renders it boon to the warm and thirsty individual who mops his perspir- ing brow i'll the dog days and yearns for Greenland's icy mountains. As the pro- verbal egg without salt so is the raw oyster without lemon. The usual plan when served on the half shell is to ar range the shells i'll a circle upon each plate with their smaller ends inward and half lemon, or only quarter if the fruit is large, atthe center.
 A very appetizing accompaniment for oysters on the half shelf may be made thus, according to The Delineator, au- thority for the following: Slash the rind of the lemon at intervals from the cen ter of the top half way to the bottom, carefully draw back the sections of the rind, remove the pulp, extract the juice, mix with grated celery and fill the cup of rind with the mixture. Thrust tiny spoon into the pretty receptacle and place the latter at the center of the plate, with the oysters on the half shell around it.
 Lemon juice is quite indispensable for lobster, salmon, sardine, chicken, oyster I and celery salads When salad is finely chopped, 8 pretty way to serve it is to make little cones of it on slices of lemon and place twig of celery on top of each Lemon jelly nodded into the form of lemons makes an attractive dish. This jelly is also pleasing when it is broken rather fine and heaped up in glass cups or plates. Crystallized slices of lemon are both delicious and pleasing to look at. Slices of the fruit molded into lem on jelly make a truly beautiful dish.
 Slices of lemon may be used decora. lively in many ways. A border of them, relieved with sprigs of water cress, let

Housekeeping In Summer.

Housekeepers must not forget that during the heated months thought and care must be given to the cellar. Keep the windows tightly closed during the day. Open them in the evening or at night. This will keep the cellar dry. As the walls are cool the hot air of the day will condense upon them and cause moisture. In this condition the cellar is scarcely place for keeping food stuffs, as the dampneSs causes mold. It is also time to give up using large stoves or ranges and substituting smaller ones which will do the same amount of work, with greater comfort. Cooking by gas is so extensively practiced that I need scarcely rehearse the economy and dura- bility of this method. Thousands of gas stoves are in use, and when once placed are in to stay, and with care they are more economical than coal Persons in the country manufacturing their own gas can use the same stove they have used in the city. Roasting and baking may be done at the same time, thus saving heat and gas.
 In far country places where it is i'm possible to use gas the next best thing AS tAA O4A oIONS' AAO POAAUo O4 OdASCA HI these stoves have been greatly removed. Accidents occur only with careless peo- pie. I am referring now strictly to oil, not gasoline, stoves. The latter are al- ways more or less dangerous, as this material is highly inflammable and ex- plosive The four burner stove contain ing an oven IA by 16 is quite large enough to do the cooking for family of 12. Sectional saucepans should be used for vegetable cooking, or patent cooker will give you two or three veg etables over single burner. Waf1es and cakes can be baked just as we'll over a coal stove. Many of the readers will re- member that in the Woman's building in the model kitchen corn waffles were made almost every day, beautifully baked, and over gas stove.-House- hold News;
