that the manner in which the Republican

Paste For Paper HANGING.

Decorator and Furnisher gives these
directions for making paste:
First heat water to boiling, then add
flour, with constant stirring. To pre-
vent the formation of Jumps, the flour
may be passed through sieve SO as to
insure more equablo distribution.
Agitation is continued until the heat
has rendered the mass of the desired
consistency, and after few moments
further boiling it is ready for use In
order to increase its strength, powdered
rosin, in the proportion of one-sixth to
one-fourth of the weight of the flour, is
added
To prevent its souring oil of cloves
or few drops Of carbolic acid are add
cd, but it is advisable not to make up
more than is needed at one time, as it
is so simple to make, taking as it does
so very little time and material.

A pleasing fad is that for art colored
glass vases and bonbon dishes in silver
gilt standards.
Coffee and tea pots and hot water jugs
i'll some of the heavily embossed silver
sets are finished with ivory handles and

cles in the house beautiful.
Many of the French clocks serve not
only to note the passing hour, but fur
nish desirable piece of bric-a- brac, SO
decorative are they in design and finish
A salad bowl of plain cut crystal, with
silver rim and helpers, is decidedly sug-
gestive of the cool, refreshing vegetables
served III it.
The new lines of flower tubes and
bouquet holders in Bohemian glass and
decorated glassware are very popular.

What 'Rating~ Means.

There Is no subject that causes more
controversy in amateur yachting circles
than the term rating" as applied to the
measurement of racing yachts. The Rud-
der recently elucidated the matter thor
oughiy.
Rating, in tho first place, means simply
tracing length" The English yachtsman
prefers the use Of the word rating" The
English rule by which tho racing length
Is formed differs somewhat from our sys-
tenn. Here Is the rule:
1.-The load water line plus the sail area,
divided by 5000. equals the rating"
By this rule boat Is feet on tho water
line, with 900 square feet of sail, would
be one-half rate, the problem being 10
multiplied by 200 and divided by 5000
equals 5000, divided by 5000, which
would be n half rater.
Our SO called half raters are not prop
erly speaking, half raters, but Is foot rae
ing length boats. The rule in vogue In
this country reads, load water line,
added to the square root of the sail area,
divided by 3, equals the racing longth."
This would make boat 10 feet on the
water line, with 225 square feet Of sail a
10 foot racing length craft, or o boat IA
feet on the water line, with 256 square
feet of canvas, would figure out the same
-15 foot racing length

The Poster PARTY.

This is an amusing entertainments
given by the modern hostess, who in
each invitation must suggest to the in
vited guest what poster or picture or
magazine she is to copy in her costume.
In preparing these dresses the material
used can be as expensive or rs cheap as
desired. Table Talk explains that the
gentlemen are expected to inform them
selves of the politics, religious views,
etc, Of the publication they represent
and air them with energy. The ladies,
as rule. take up some noticeable fea-
ture OF the book or magazine and exag-
gerate it in an amusing way. From
these suggestions guesses are made as to
the characters, books, ETC., represented
and the prizes awarded accordingly.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Other Peoples Tea-Paste For Papor
Hanging-The Poster Par
ty Is Sport.

Ii You are tea connoisseur, you will
know what "other peoples tea" means.
You will know what it is to endure it.
to be disappointed by it, to make ND
your mind to expect it, and yet when
you come to reflect to find yourself Won
dering over it-wondering how it is that
while we all talk SO much about a cup
OF tea it is so usual thing to meet with
inferior stuff not worthy of the name.
What is the making of good tea? Every
body who knows anything about the
matter will at once say, first, boiling
water. But does any one know what
boiling water is? 1t is not to be con-
founded with water merely ON the move,
nor with water that has been standing
long enough or near enough to the fire
to become tepid before it is boiled. Then,
overlooked water must equally be avoid
ed. Next, the teapot should be, if not
what they would call in Ireland "mad
hot, something Mt least not far from it.
AS to quantity, some teapots seem to
require less tea than others, and q tea
spoon is an elastic measure when ap-
piled to "dry measure'-that is, solids.
A tea coy, it is said, should be so made
as to allow the steam to escape unim-
peded through the spout. Lastly, there
Is great art in pouring out tea. Some
times the tea is made worse than it need
be under the management of the tea
president. We have noted this difference
with corresponding regret. and rejoicing
when the teapot has changed hands from
day to day i'll the same homo circle. But
when all is said and DONE it remains a
strange, unsolved riddle to even skilled
teamakers why, with the best attention
and care, their tea should turn out so
variable thing.
An eX-Ceylon tea planter is emphatic
on quite new point-namely, that no
water should be added to the teapot
after the tea is once made He insists
that directly additional water comes in
contact with the leaves an injurious
chemical effect takes place When. on
pouring out several cups, it becomes
necessary to reduce the strength, water
should be put, he says, into the cups,
not into the pot. Another thing this tea
planter insists upon is the harm of
drinking cheap teas. He says that many
cheap teas are nice enough to tho taste.
A little pelloc or other good tea mixed
with great deal which is pernicious

show how the quality of tea affects
the nervous system he quotes tea faster

monest thing for ladies to boast of the
low price they give for their teas.
