H O U S EHOLD HINTS

Colds are epidemic, but unpleasant, par
ticularly the hacking cough that persistent
ly disturbs every gathering. A simple rem
edy Is made as follows: Boil cents worth
Of fiaxseed in enough water to have q pint
after cooking half an hour. Strain and
sweeten to sirup with rock candy, put in
i. the juice Of two lemons and boil for five
minutes. Take q wineglassful when the
throat seems dry, and 1t will prevent much
Of the coughing 1t is Q gentle laxative
also.
Frying oysters is an art that few cooks
learn. Take nice fat oysters and give them
a few dashes of ice water to clear them Of
shell and grit, then lay on a napkin on
large plate to drain. Have ready some
beaten egg and a dish of finely pulverized
crackers or sweet cornmeal, both well salt
ed. Dip the oysters first in the, egg, and
then roll in the cornmeal or crackers. Drop
Immediately in the hot lard, which must
be sweet as butter, and brown very lightly
and serve the instant removed on q hot
dish and hot napkin, with few sprigs Of
parsley to garnish. If let stand a minute
they are ruined.
Creased tissue paper, or that known as
confectionerS paper, is very nice for the
outside covering OF a poultice.
The instant you remove blister plaster
rub the surface gently with sweet oil or
yaseline, then lay over 1t q sheet of alb
sorbent cotton, and If the blood Is in good
condition not much suffering will ensue.
II you have lot of pretty fringed doylies
and towels whose beauty will be gone when
the fringe gets worn of. be sensible and
wash them al home. When ready to iron
them have them quite damp indeed. shake
gently and then comb out the fringes with
a coarse comb kept for that purpose alone
Iron with a very hot iron and shake again
just before beginning to fold. and you will
have fringe that looks new always.
Sometimes green" housekeeper buys a
tough hen unawares. and then she tears
her hair because 1t Is not fit to eat when
night TO freeze. Put to boil in hot water as
soon as the fire Is made, and keep it boiling
for three hours. II In hard water put q
pinch Of soda as large as a butter bean in
the water. Do not salt. Two hours before
dinner lift from the water: dress and stuff
as though II had not been cooked at all.

and bake in a medium oven, basting often.

Don't put slovenly looking dishes on the

was in the habit of taking part in the
popular Berlin diversion on New Year eve,
which consists in bonneting with q blow of
the fist every citizen who ventures to ap-
pear after dark In the streets with a high
SILK hat. No one used to get much hurt
but the damage done to the head gear Of
the population waSi something appalling
and from time tmmemorial the matters
have In consequence thereof been compelled
to keep open their shops on New Year day.
But Emperor William has abandoned this
form OF rough horse play, since he encoun-
tered an old gentlenan,Iw who, with the view
of getting even with the young men who
had destroyed his sitopD hats In previous
years. had equipped himself with a sort of
leather skull cap, studded with nails points
upward. The consequence was that when
the imperial fist came down with crushing
force on the inviting-tooking hat, 1t en-
countered the nails, which lacerated his
hand In so serious d, manner as to necessi-
tate the attendancesof q surgeon.
AT Vienna there 5s no so-called "Sflir

the archduchess. representing the empress
hold what is knowng az ''cercle." Each
class Of visitors who call to present their
good wishes for the new year IL assigned
to particular apartment, the diplomatic
corps being relegated to one, the judiciary

Distinct Improvement in the volume Of bus.-
ness and the character of transactions marked
the course Of trading to-day. Prices at the
opening went above last nights closing. and
throughout the day the tendency was toward
a higher level. although frequent sales for
profits prevented any marked gains. and late
realizing caused more final net losses than ad-
varces. The early improvement appeared TO be
due in great part TO the report that prominent
interests were IN the marke. ard to the buying
In Southern Railway preferred the dividend
prospects Of that stock attracting good class
Of buyers. besides many others who hoped to
make quick turn in It, The fact that the lead
ing banking house in the Street is closely iden-
tilted with Southern Railway interests raised
the suppos.,ion that this house would be in the
market to-day. and the mere report that it was
a buyer OF stocks gave increased vigor and ac
tivity TO the whole list. The short interest
which has accumulated in the las. two weeks
was forced to protect It's position. and traders
appeared 20 believe in the morning tha, the
marke. had begun another upward swing The
increase IN dealings was not astonshingly large.
but the character of the buying was errinently
improved In the bond department too this
was noteworthy. The inquiry from small in
ves,ors showed an expanding tendency. while
The number Of issues traded In was largely in
creased. There was good distribution OF bust
ness prevailing. and net gains were recorded in
the majority Of issues. In some cases such gains
running above 2 per cent. The dividend de-
clared on the preferred stock OF the Southern
Railway was not made as an annual dividend
but as n distribution TO the preferred stock
holders of portion Of The surplus earned In
the last two fiscal years. The board OF direc
tors of the company has not as yet considered

high praise. Senator BlDckburn, Of

There is not living man whom

country. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the Lake to the Gulf,
Iillman has set the country ablazc
for free sivcr, and his work will
bring relief and prosperity to his
people. No other man than Tllman
could have so aroused and innamcd
the people. The masses had about
given up in despair, and were prcpar-

the moncy-powcr. While the con
