Little Hints Worth Knowing.

An excellent polish for patent
leather is vaseline; mud stains
should be wiped off with milk. In
following recipes it is useful to
know that a spoonful" of any dry
ingredient means a heaped tea
spoonful-not merely as much as
will lie flat on the spoon. When
washing windows use tepid water
with ammonia added in the pro-
portion of eight tablespoonful to a
pailful of water; rub the windows
hard with a cloth rinsed in the
water and well squeezed, then dry
with a clean cloth and polish with
a channels leather. When jet
passementerie looks rusty wipe it
with a wad of black silk or cash
mere dipped in diluted alcohol,
and finally wipe dry with clean
rag. Tinware should be washed
with plenty of soap and boiling
water, and afterwards be rubbed
with newspaper and left to the
exposure of the sun for a time.
When gold embroidery becomes
furnished, the color may be bright
ened by rubbing with finely
powdered rock alum. To clean
straw hats wash them with soap
and water, rinse in fresh water,
dry in the air, and then wash them
over with the white of an egg
beaten to a froth. Another method
is to rub the straw with cut lemon
dipped in sulphur, and wash the
juice off carefully; then stiffen with
the white of an egg: Remember to
let no pressure touch the brim of
the hat until it is quite dry, other
wise it will influence the shape.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
KEEPING IN BED.

A Simple Device for Keeping Small
Children From Rolling out of Bed.
When little folks graduate from
the crib, with its safe, close sides.
and come into the dignity of sleep
ing in a "grown-up" bed, there is
apt to be many a tumble upon the
floor in the darkness, particularly
if the time be summer, when the
bed clothing cannot be "tucked in''
closely.
Little people are apt to be rest
less at night, after a hard days
play, says the Philadelphia En-
quirer, and in tossing about it is
small wonder that they often fall
out of bed. The possibility of this
catastrophe has made unnumbered
hosts of mothers sleep "with one
eye open," ready to spring up at
the sound of unwonted stirring in
the next room.
Such nervous apprehension is
wearying and altogether unneces-
Sary. for there are a number of
simple devices for making the
children's bed I'M fall-out able.
One of the best is strip of stout
linen denim cut to the length Of the
bed and hemmed about the edges,
having broad hem at the bottom,
through which to tack the strip to
the inside of the side pieces of the
bed, if both sides are to be pro-
tected. If the bed can be placed
against a wall, only the outer side
will require a strip tackled to it.
In the upper corners of the strip
sew metal rings, and insert rings in
the headboard and footboard.
When the bed is made up in the
morning the strip can be folded in
under the quilts, to be removed
and hooked up into place at night.
With such device the mother can
sleep in peace, quite certain that
the little folk will be found in the
morning where they were placed at
night-on the bed instead of under

Cleaning Qoatskin Rugs.

There are two methods of cleans
ing white goatskin rugs. If not
very much soiled, wet a soft cloth
with naphtha and rub the hair
vigorously, doing a small portion
at a time; then hang the rug upon
the line in the open air that the
odor may disappear. Do this work
in the daylight and have no fire In
the room while using the naphtha.
If it is necessary to wash the rug,
choose a cool, windy day for the
purpose. Throw a half pint of
household ammonia into a tub con-
tanning about four gallons of water.
place the rug in the tub and allow
it to remain there thirty minutes;
shake thoroughly in the water;
rinse carefully in lukewarm water
and hang in the shade in the open
air. When dry it will be found
very stiff, but may be sOftened by
hard rubbing and combing with
the fingers.

A farmer in Maine who was sus-
picious of banks kept his money
hidden in the barn. One bag had
5000 in gold. Another bag had
5000 in silver. The barn caught
fire and burned down. The melted
money was gathered up and sold
For the gold the farmer received
5000 but for the silver he received
only $120. The true moral to this
story is that the farmer should adj
vocate free coinage. If the U. S.
mints had been open to silver he
could have had it coined again into
dollars. We suspect, however, it
is a goldbug invention, it is SC
much like one of the goldite silly
inventions. The amounts were
made the same so as to strike the
simple simons more forcibly.

Useful Recipes.

pieces Of cold roast veal and cut
about the size of dice. Make a
gravy of teaspoonful of flour,
butter the size Of an egg; mix to-
gether with a little salt and pepper
until it is smooth, then pour over
it a cupful of boiling water. Lay
in the meat just before it is ready
to send to the table. Much cook
ing makes it tough. Tt is nice with
chopped parsley or onions.
LAMB KIDNEYS A LA TERRAPIN
Take six lamb kidneys, cut in
halves. Throw into cold water and
allow to boil about fifteen minutes.
Make white sauce of one table
spoonful of butter, one of flour, one
teacup of milk, the butter added
slowly after the former are smoothly
mixed. Cut the kidneys into
smaller pieces, with one hard boiled
egg chopped fine, half teaspoonful
of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful white
pepper, two teaspoonfuls minced
parsley. Drop all into the hot
sauce for two minutes. Cold
chicken or calves liver are also
good prepared thus.
EGG PLANT.-Cut the egg plants
in half lengthwise, scoop out all the
inside, leaving the skin whole so
that they can be refilled. Cut up
an onion very small and one or two
green peppers; fry these in butter,
but do not let them color; add the
insides Of the egg plant after chop
ping them, and let it all cool till
quite soft. Mix with it two hard
boiled eggs chopped very fine, the
strained juice of a lemon, and salt
to taste. Put it back into the half
skins, smooth over the top, sprinkle
over few fine breadcrumbs, put a
few small bits of butter on the top
of each, and bake in the oven till
of a pretty golden brown. Decorate
with finely chopped green parsley
sprinkled over the whole, and
little mounds of the yoke of a hard
boiled egg passed through a sieve.
Serve hot or cold.
FARCED CUCUMB s.-For
farced cucumbers, take those about
three or four inches long, cut off
the end, hollow out for the filling
and peel. Mince one half pound
of chicken and pound the meat in
"a mortar. Chop one small onion
and bruise eight cloves, chop two
green or red peppers, fry the onion
and cloves in two ounces of butter,
add the meat and peppers and half
an eggspoonful of mixed spices, fry
till the meat is done, sprinkle it
over with salt to taste, and fill the
cucumbers with this mixture, lay
the cucumbers in a steamer and
steam till they are soft. Take
them out with care and lay them
on the dish in which they are to be
served, pouring over them the fol-
lowing sauce: Cut up small onion
and bruise twelve cloves, and fry
in two ounces of butter until a
golden brown; pour over it half
pint of water; let it simmer gently
for ten minutes, then add the juice
of half a lemon, with salt to taste,
strain and use. Cut some red
peppers and slice one small green
picked cucumber, and proceed to
decorate the cucumbers straight
down the center of each with an
alternate slice of red and green.
Over the whole sprinkle some
chopped green parsley, or shower
of the yolk of a hard boiled egg
passed through sieve.

How Silver Would Get Into Circula-
ton Under Free Coinage.
Many correspondents ask for in
formation on this point, and brief
answer will be given.
Under free coinage the owner of
silver bullion would take it to the
mint and have it coined into dollars.
With these dollars he would pay
his employees, purchase his supplies,
pay his taxes, debts and all other
expenses. The persons thus receiv-
ing them would in like manner pay
their debts and liabilities and meet
their expenses. Thus it would
make its rounds and find its way
through the entire community. Not
only would it at once enter into
circulation, but it would have the
effect of bringing a large amount of
money into use that is now lying
idle. AS silver foated out into the
channels of trade it would raise
prises and stimulate business.
When prices rise money always
comes from its hiding places for
investment. When property is
going up men will buy it, expecting
to reap a profit from the rise.
When prices advance-when prop.
erty becomes dearer-it means that
money is getting cheaper. There
fore men who have money are anx
ious to avoid loss by converting
their money which is falling, into
property that is rising.
This explains why it is that in
seasons of falling prices and business
stagnation there always seems to be
a superabundance of money. That
is, large amount of idle money for
which there is no use.
When property values are falling
the man with money holds on to it.
He says, eff 1 buy now the prop
erty will shrink in value and will
lose. So I will wait until the bot
tom mark is reached" But as
soon as it gets to the bottom he will
buy, provided, always, that he sees
a chance for an upward movement.
+ There is scarcely reader who
has not acted upon this principle,
and who does not act upon it every
day.
Briefly and concisely stated, the
principle is this: When prices are
falling it is advantageous to hold
on to our money if we have any;
when prices are rising it pays better
to invest the money in property or
in some productive enterprise.
The argument (?) by the gold
people that if we had free coinage
the poor man would not be able to
get any of the money coined, pre-
sents another of their innumerable
absurdities and contradictions. In
one breath they insist that the poor
man will be loaded down with cum
bersome 50-cent dollars, and in the
next that he will not be able to get
any of them, even if they be coined.
1t ought to be apparent that if
silver bullion cannot be coined, it
is utterly impossible for it to get
into circulation. If it can be coined
there is at least chance for us all
to get some of it. Let us take that
chance. -Nationa Bimetallist.
