A little salt sprinkled on hot stove

A cup of rock salt dissolved in the
bath will prove as invigorating as a
sea bath.
If small piece of bread is put upon

Lemons may be kept fresh and
good a long time by putting them in
an open stone crock and covering
them with cold water. The water
should be changed twice week. Lem
ons treated in this way will become
ripe and juicy.
4 great deal Of unpleasant odor that
is carried through the house from
boiling vegetables may be avoided by
putting piece of bread in the water

A favorite as we'll as nOurishing

Jet Turned to Earnest.

Even the best jokes are serious some
times, and an astonishing number Oh
things that were jokes once become, as
they grow old, the most common occur
rences of everyday life. Now, here's
case in point
Years ago a professional humorist
met an idea, which he apprehended,
and in due time he wove it into shape
to this effect:
Young Wife-Oh, Edward, I knew you were
SO fond of Welsh rabbits
Young Husband (apprehensively)-Yes, my
dear?
Young Wife-Well, just you had
gone this morning made two and they have
been on the ice all day, and Jane shall bring
them Immediately.
This was called "Jugged Hare, or
ssRabbit Pie or "Out of the Warren, -
or ga Pleasure In Store For Edward, -
or something else equally appropriate,
and when the professional humorist fin
ished the joke he fondly imagined ''the
price thereof in his pocket. Little did
he think that the joke would ever come
true
But it has come. It is arrived, as the
French say, attended by these dainty
lines:

and 1t provides the most equable tenn
perature, as II can be carried a long
distance horizontally. 1t is very easily
regulated, and the matter of attendance
Is reduced to a minimum, which Is no
small consideration. There is no cir
culation Of dust, which Is the inevita-
BILE concomitant of hot-air heating. To
get the very best results a hot-water
plant should be installed in a new.
house, planned with this in view. Hot
water heating is estimated to require
one-fourth more radiating surface than
steam, and Of necessity there must be
more and larger radiators; these can be
placed where they will not be obtrusive.
They can be adjusted beneath the win
dows and encased, and arrangements
can be made for the passage Of a cur
rent Of fresh air over the radiators,
thus contributing admirably toward the
ventilators Of the house. The very
latest application Of hot water to heat
ing is in combination with hot air, and
in many ways this is the most perfect
system of all. Both sources of heat are
in the same furnace, which need be no
larger than IL either system was used
by itself. The furnace is like the ordi-
nary hot-air furnace, except that hot
water drum occupies the central part
Of the dome. 4Gt
Those rooms that can easily be reach
ed by n direct current of hot air, are
heated by registers. while those further
away from the furnace are equipped
with radiators. This system is particu-
larly well adapted for large and RAM
bling country houses, which, from the
very nature of their construction, can
never be thoroughly heated by hot air
alone. In so far as the consumption of
fuel Is concerned, the combination sys-
TEN is as economical as any other;
perhaps, indeed, a greater amount of
heat can be obtained from fire of the
same size. With proper care on the
part Of architects I'm arranging inlet
ducts for fresh air to accelerate the
draugbt, any desirable degree Of ven-
tilation may be sucured. Such arrange
ments should. however, be studied In

Name for the New Process.

"Scotograph" is likely to stick as the
popular term for portraits taken by
the Roentgen process. 1t means 'shade
picture" and Its analogy with pho
tograph, which is ''light picture" Is
sufficiently manifest to help on its
vogue. 1t happens, however, that the
word scotograph has already been In
use a number of years to designate a
writing instrument for the blind, and
It Is pronounced as IL derived from
the proper noun Scot" But 1t will
be the simplest matter in the world
for the new meaning Of the word to
oust the old in popular acceptance, for
that Is a general law of language. And
