NeW SLIM AM,

Sleicht of hand performers have re-
sorted to another scheme for making
money besides appearing on the stage
before the public, aud the fact can be
attested 10 by clerk Ia the furnishing
goods establishment Of e.. ; Rosenberg
Last Monday evening man entered
the .tore sud said hc desired 10 purchase
a collar button. He WAS young man
with splendid appearance and spoke
Nuently. The button was priced at ten
cents, but the clerk ssid he hadn't the
change In the house for n $40 bill, and
the man left without the button.
Last evening at about o'clock the
ssme person called again aud purchased
a necktie. He was about 10 leave the
store, ostensibiy, when he suddenly
turned and laughingly asked the clerk
u he thought be was trying to work
him the other day when he offered him
the $40 bill, and whether he thought the
bill was counterfeit. The clerk re-
marked that he had no such idea. The
man appeared satisfied ut the answer.
Incidentally he then suggested that IL

between the two bills, and the whole was
wrapped in piece Of paper and tightly
tied. Explanations were then 10 order.
The key 10 the solution was, the stranger
explained, that the impressions OF a
nickel would appear on both bills.
"On counterfeit bill," he said, 1.-THE

said he would step across the way TO get
drink. and on his return would open
the package. IL would require that long

BIS OF EXPERIENCE.

There IL time even in q few years OF
housekeeping for one TO learn a great
deal that Is not laid down in the books,
bat which may be OF value not only To
ones self, but 10 others.
Ia NV six years of housekeeping,
have learned, among other things, to
save time aud strength by covering my
kitchen table and pantry shelves with
white or marbled enamel cloth, neatly
tackled in position.
Among other things which experience
has tsught me, is the use Of small
brushes about the every day work in the
kitchen. They are especially good for
dish washing when for any reason the
dishes have been allowed 10 stand little
after using.
They are excellent for washing glass
ware having uneven surfaces, and ale
useful in uumberless ways, which will
suggest themselves 10 each individual
| according to her needs.
have found, too, that bread will
toast much more quickly and evenly IL
| laid on the oven CRATE two minutes mot
longer previous to the tossing process.
have learned that a tablespoonful Of
ginger in the lard for frying doughnuts
will prevent the cakes from soaking fat
and is not discernible to the taste.
That IL cracker crumbs designed for
the top Of dish of escalloped oysters
are first mixed with little melted
butter, one can always be sure thst they
will come out of the oven beautifully
brown.
With the remembrance OF certain en-
barrassing occasions still In mind, when
found myself quite unprepared for un-
expected company and not quite equal to
tie situation, always keep good suet
pudding - hand which may be steamed
aud made ready for the table at short
notice, and try never 20 be without a
few cans Of a simple, but delicious salad
dressing, which learned To make some
years ago, and which often helps me out
Of a difficulty Amazingly.
Quite by accident, l discovered that
piece Of bread kept In the cake box
prevented the cake from becoming dry
"a soon as IL otherwise would, and in the
same way, found that refrigerator
was the best place for cake Of any kind.
have come To the conclusion that to
avoid hicks in my company china, 1t IL
better for me to 90 back TO the Old
fashioned custom Of washing 1t myself
the next morning.
After repeated experiments, l have
proved to my entire satisfaction that
one-half an egg will clear pot Of coffee
for family Of six or eight quite as well
as whole one, and thus one egg Is made
to do the work OF two.
In like manner, have found that l
can make better frosting for three cakes
by adding water to the beaten white OF
one egg, and using confectioners' sugar,
than used to do when l allowed an egg
or two for each cake and used powdered
sugar instead. Household.
