Better Than orthorraphx.

The old man had given his son a very
fair education and had taken him into
his shop. The young fellow was over
nice about great many things, but the
father made no comment. One day an
order came in from customer.
II wish to goodness" exclaimed the
son, "that Gibson would learn to spellp'
whats the matter with it?' in
quired the father cheerfully.
"Why, he spells coffee with * >"
"No, does he? never noticed it. 4"
"Of course you never did," said the
son pettishly. "You never notice any
thing like that"
Perhaps not, my son." replied the
old man gently, "but there is one thing
I do notice, which you will learn by and
by, and that is that Gibson pays cash. !"

sTER!LIzINe MILK.
How to Do It at Home Easily and With
Little Expense.


Little Expense.
Milk may be sterilized successfully
by taking any ordinary bottles, filing
with milk to the neck or little below,
placing stopper Of cotton batting in
the neck, then setting on a thin strip of
wood or inverted pie plate, which has
been perforated, in thin basin or pail
of water. The whole is then heated un-
til the milk shows temperature Of
nearly $50 degrees. The bottle is then
stoppered and the pail and contents are
removed to the back Of the stove, where
the temperature will remain fairly con-
slant for 90 minutes, especially If COW
cred with some nonconducting material
as cloth or dry towel or the pail COW
bottles are removed and set in warm
water, which is gradually cooled and
then iced. The bottle may finally be
put in the refrigerator after being par
tally chilled in water.
Sterilizing may also be accomplished
with equally good, if not better, results
in tin vessels, either a double boiler
oatmeal cooker or two dishes of suitable
capacity, one with a diameter two
inches shorter than the other. The
water is poured into the outer dish at
boiling point, the milk dish and con-
tents being set in at once and the milk
constantly stirred until its temperature
is 100 degrees 1t is then removed for a
moment, while the water in the outer
dish is tempered to the same or degree
or two higher. The milk is then set
back into the boiler, put to one side and
closely covered and wrapped in order to
retain the heat for 10 or 90 minutes.
If the object of sterilizing be to de-
stroy the bacillus Of tuberculosis mini
mum temperature Of 149 degrees should
be maintained for 10 minutes, or l40
degrees for half an hour
If milk can be obtained from a herd
known to be free from tuberculosis or
the person has no fear Of this trouble,
sterilizing temperature of from 1873 de-
grees to 140 degrees maintained for 10
or 20 minutes is sufficient to give good
keeping qualities and to effectually get
rid of 80 per cent Of all bacteria, includ-
ing the forms which produce stomach
disturbances, vomiting and cholera in
fantum in children.
In all sterilizing work the sudden
chilling of 80 degrees or thereabout is
imperative. The milk should be kept
covered and at as low temperature as
can be obtained. Treated in this man
ner sterilized milk will be found to
have delightfully."- sweet, pure taste
long after common milk has lost its
freshness. On the average it keeps from
to SO hours longer than unsterilized
milk in the same temperature.

DESIGN FOR TOP OF TABLE.

ter part of line, for instance, in leaf
might be of five-eighth inch nails, then
ree-eighth inch, ending with quarter
inch. Then different patterns would be
combined, for there are great many
different shapes and sizes in these nails,
varying from small, round headed nails
at 8 cents per dozen to larger and more
ornamental ones at cents.
1t would be worth while buying a
sample set and keeping it by you, so
that you can design to suit the different
nails This sort of decoration is most
permanent, as nothing short of pulling
the nails out will destroy it. The design
for tea table top is so simple that
child might try it with success, using
for the ornamentations ordinary fat
headed brass tacks.

SHOES AND THEIR CARE.
How to Wear shOes-Hints on Cleaning
and Keeping Them.


Few details of the toilet claim more
attention than ones footgear. For this
reason the following hints, the result
Of experience and practice, are here ap-
pended: Roughly speaking, one may
divide the matter under three heads:
First, the mode of keeping boots; Sec
ond, the manner of wearing them, and,
lastly, the method of cleaning them.
A special place should always be set
apart for boots. Even where the proper
boot cupboard is not available a shelf
can always be found which should be
reserved strictly for ones foot gear.
Nothing so soon makes boots or shoes
look shabby as neglect after wear. Tree
ing is simply the saving of boots and
shoes alike, and granted pair of we'll
made and perfectly fitting trees it is not
too much to say that the former will
not only last nearly double the time Of
less carefully treated chaussure, but
land to some persons more important
stilD they will keep their shape and
look well to the last.
1t may scarcely sound consistent with
pairs Of boots Of the same class should
always be kept in wear at the same
time, but nevertheless the advice is
sound. There is nothing like leather"
we all know, but, like everything else,
leather needs rest occasionally, and two
pairs Of boots or shoes worn thus alter
nately will considerably outlast two
ok nd
moreover, always look better both in
shape and condition. A small point,
not always too closely attended to, re-
fers to the laces and buttons. Always
undo laces carefully before removing
the boots or shoes (nothing spoils the
shape of these SO much as the process Of
slipping" the foot out while the fas-
Jennings are still done up) and be sure
they are carefully laced up and neatly
fastened both while in wear and also
when freed
In the cleaning of the ordinary black
leather boot the usual mistake is the
use Of too hard brush for polishing
purposes The proper process is to first
brush off as much mud as possible with
u udIu UTuSu, Jueu TeIuON6 any SldluS
with a dampish cloth, and lastly, after
allowing the boots to dry perfectly, I'M
assisted by the fire, apply the backing
evenly all over the surface, taking care
not to touch buttons or laces with the
backing, which must be put on with
soft brush, and then lightly polished
with another fairly soft brush. The
great polishing medium of such boots
is elbow grease.
For the kid shoe the best thing is to
cleanse them first with milk, and then
any shoe polish you may prefer. Patent
leather obtains high polish and is less
liable to crack if after the milk clean
ing it is rubbed over with olive oil and
finally polished up with silk handker-
chief. Lastly, insist on due attention be-
ing paid to the heels of all boots and
shoes when cleaned. These are often
overlooked or only perfunctorily attend
ed to, with disastrous results, as heels
are much more conspicuous than their
wearers are always aware of.

How PumiCe Stone Is Obtained.

Pumice stone is porous feldspathio
scoria from volcanoes The pores are
linear and so fine as to be often barely
visible except by means of a magnify
ing glass. Its specific gravity is 2.2 to
A, water being the unit, but by rea-
son of its spongy texture pieces are often
buoyant enough to float on water. 1t
consists chiefly of silica, with so1he-
times II per cent of soda and per
cent of potash. The chief source from
which it is obtained is Campo Bianco,
one of the Lipari islands, where it forms
a hill nearly 1000 feet high.

Simple Cure For Warts.

Some one, whom the journals call
Professor Shuesof, is willing TO stand in
his naked feet and aver that the juice
Of the common garden euphorbium will
remove warts Meehan's Monthly says:
"This is not popular delusion. The
professor may resume his shoes, for
nothing is better known than this fact.
In the old grandmother gardens
there was generally patch of Euphor-
bia cyparissias, or milkweed, grown es-
pecially for the purpose. In his boyhood
the hands Of the writer were cleared Of
warts by the juice Of broken branch
placed ON them.

POPPY DESIGN FOR SCREEN.

results may be thus obtained. Follow
ing are some directions from the New
York Herald which may prove of as
sistance to readers DESTROYS of attempt
ing this work:
In making a design to be carried out
in brass headed nails it is obvious that
simple patterns are alone appropriate,
and those having curved lines are the
most to be commended. Highly conven-
tional or purely ornamental patterns,
too, should be chosen, for it would be
absurd to draw naturalesque form in
brass nails. You had better draw out
your patterns on thin paper, and then
transfer them to the wood by rubbing
over the back with white chalk, follow
ing the design with hard point. A
pattern which is continuous, like the
scroll on the poppy design suggested
for screen, has therefore to be repeat
ed many times. You could draw just
portion on thick tracing paper and
then prick the design with a thick nee
die, and so make "pounce" of it. By
rubbing over the design with some pow
dered chalk tied up in muslin you will
get an impression on the wood, as the
chalk will pass through the pricked
holes.
Your design will consist of lines,
which you will fasten with the nails,
putting each nail point on the line and
driving the nail straight home with a
well directed tap. Your difficulty at
first will be to get the nails to fasten on
evenly, and to judge the distance each
point should be from the last nail,
though this could be overcome by meas
uring.
Thus, if a nail is half an inch in
width, with pair of dividers or a rule
you mark off half inch spaces along your
lines, or if you make border of alter
nate large and small nails, say FIVE
eighths of an inch and three eighths of
an inch in diameter, then you have only
to mark off these spaces on the line, and
no difficulty ought to present itself. A
good deal of the effect would be obtained
by using different sized nails. The GEN.

How to Make Prune Jelly.

Wash a quart of prunes and soak
them until soft in water enough to lit
tie more than cover them. Cook the
prunes in the same water until they are
tender. With a silver knife remove the
pit from each plum and lay the plum
in wet mold Have ounces Of gela-
tin soaking in little cold water and
turn the hot prune water over it; add
the juice of 2 lemons and sweeten to
taste. Stand over the fire long enough
to have the sugar and gelatin entirely
dissolved; then strain into the mold,
holding the prepared prunes. Stand
away until perfectly cold and then serve
with whipped cream.

How Hairpins Are Made.

1t was not until 1878 that the manu-
facture of hairpins was begun in the
United States. Previous to that time
those used in this country were brought
from England or France There are now
several large factories in the United
States that turn out an article equal if
not superior to the best finished foreign
made pin. The trade is such large one
that it takes no less than so, 900 pack
ages, each containing from 10 to 20
pins, to supply the wholesale demand
daily in New York alone.
The machinery used is of delicate
and intricate character, as the small
prices at which the pins are at present
sold necessitate the most rapid and
cheapest process, which can only be Sc
cured by automatic machines The wire
is made expressly for the purpose and
is put up in large coils, which are placed
on reels. The end of the wire is put in
a clamp which carries it to q machine
while strengthening it. There it is run
through a machine which cuts, binds
and, by a delicate and instantaneous
process, sharpens the pins These ma
chimes will turn out from 800 to $50
hairpins every minute. To economic it
is often necessary to keep them working
night and day. The most difficult part
Of the work is the enameling, which is
done by dipping the pin in prepare
ton and baking it in an oven. Here is
where the most constant and careful at
tention is required, as the pin must be
perfectly smooth and the enamel have a
faultless polish. The slightest particles
of dust cause imperfeotions and rough
ness, which is Objectionable and spoils
the pin for the market

PACKING FLOWERS.
How to Send Blossoms to Your Friends In
Good Condition.

To begin with, they should be gath
cred with discretion, only flowers just
out or still in bud being chosen, and
they should on no account be picked
when either wet with rain or dew or
when still warm with the suns rays.
To be sent off in a state Of heat is even
worse for them than moisture All su-
perhuous green, too, should be removed
from their stalks as it only crowds up
precious space and will not be needed
at the other end, as the foliage only dis
colors the water in the vases and causes
the flowers to decay quicker than any
thing else. The stem of each flower
should be enveloped in little cotton
wool that has been previously wetted
1.-THE cheapest, unbleached kind is all
that is necessary, and then they should
be packed in their receptacle with suffi-
cient firmness to prevent them being
shaken, and after layer of dry cotton
wool has been laid right across them
another slightly dampened should be
added.
Some flowers are naturally better
travellers than others Sweet peas, priIn-
roses, forgetmenots, peoples and all
plants Of the honeysuckle or azalea ma
ture are doubtful, even when every pre-
caution has been taken, and pelargoniums
and geraniums, except double varieties,
are useless for sending by post, but car
nations, roses Tin bud), pinks, wall
flowers, stocks or mignonette all travel
splendidly, especially carnations, which
have wonderful power of doing with
out water and can we'll be worn for a
whole day without dropping.
The flowers should, of course, be I'M
packed Immediately, and when all the
cotton wool has been removed their
stems should be slightly shipped and
each flower placed in basin of hot, not
warm, water for few minutes, where
one can actually watch it reviving in
simultaneously. They may afterward be
arranged in their vases of clear, cold
water, and it will certainly be difficult
to detect them from flowers brought
straight in from the garden.

How to Prepare Dried Mushrooms,

Select some good, sound mushrooms.
Wipe and peel them. Lay them on a
stout sheet of paper in dripping tins in
a cool oven or in the sun till they are
much shriveled, which shows you that
all the moisture in them has evaporat-
ed. Then either hang them up in paper
bags in dry, cool place or pack them
away in tins with tight fitting lid.
When they are required for use, put
them into the sauce or gravy when it
is cold, bring them slowly to the boil,
and they will swell to nearly their origi-
nal size

How to Steam the Face at Homo.

After long drive or railway journey
the skin of the face has tight, strained
feeling which may be relieved by steam
ing. This will also remove all that
griminess occasioned by the coal dust,
SCOT and smoke which seem to be fair
ly driven into the skin. If such treat
ment is too expensive to be hired done,
one can do it at home with very little
trouble. This should not be done except
at night just before retiring. Let ket-
tie of water come to the boil, and while
it is boiling fast steam the face for
about five minutes, holding it over the
steam, but not too near or it will burn.
Keep the steam in by throwing a towel
over the head, letting it fall all around
the kettle. The face should have been
washed with rainwater and pure soap
which does not irritate the skin before
steaming, and after the steaming rub
cold cream we'll into the pores with
upward strokes, to avoid developing in
cipient wrinkles. In the morning the
skin will be perfectly soft and smooth
and clear.

THE CASES POSTPONED.

New York, Jan. 30.--When the case of
Gen. Charles Roloff who is accused of
having aided and abetted a filibusterlng
expedition to Cuba on the steamer Wood
all, in 1895, was called before United
States Commissioner Shields this morn
ing United States district attorney APP
peared for the government, but when he
called for witnesses none responded.
After waiting some time for their ap
pearance he asked for an adjournment
until next Saturday which was granted.
The cases of DR.. Jose j. Luis and En-
rique Trujille, who are also accused of
aiding fllibustering expeditions, were
also adjourned for the same reason. 1t
is believed that the charges against Gen.
Roloff as far as the Woodall expedition
is concerned, will be held in allegiance or
dropped in this district. as the witnesses
were today before the United States
grand jury in Baltimore and it is proba-
BILE that the whole Woodall matter will
be disposed of there DR.. Luis connec-
ton with the Woodall affair was also be-
ing investigated in Baltimore today.
