We are apt, and very justly to set
great store by any really goc ostrich
feathers which we may chance 10 have.
A French recipe Tor cleaning such
things1uay be acceptable to those
women VINO like to do everything for
themselves, although it is generally
more satisfactory to entrust any spe-
cially fine ostrich feathers that need
renovating to professional cleaners
expertness. However, the following
may be useful in emergencies Cut
up into pieces some curd soap, and
put it into as mach tepid water as you
think you viii require. When the
soap is dissolved put the water on the
fire and let it remain there until it is
almost boiling. Plunge the feathers
into the water, leave them for at least
fouS hours, stirring them rom time to
tine; then remove them, rub them
gently with the hands, then rinse them
thoroughly in cold water, dry them
with soft towel, and finally shake
them until they become quite dry.
Curl the feathers before the heat of
a fire, taking each small portion be-
tween your thumb and a paperknife,
and gently drawing it through. In
experimenting for the first time, it
would be advisable to clean one feather
only before submitting the rest to the
water bath. New York journal.

While nothing can be more delicious
than honey served in its natural state,
or simply strained, yet it may be adj
vantageously used in the preparation
of many cakes and buildings. Indeed,
where economy is an object, honey
may often do duty in place of sugar
more satisfactorily than one would
imagine A few well-tried receipts
may be welcome to those whose pan
tries are already with milk and honey
blest."
Honey Cake-Half a cupful of but
ter, one small teacupful each of sugar
and honey, teaspoonful of baking pow
der. Bake about thirty-hve minutes
Honey Jumbles One tablespoonful
of butter, half a cupful each OF sugar
and thick strained honey, one table,
spoonful OF cream, one egg, one hap
ing teaspoonful of baking powder and
sufficient houi to make rather stiff
dough. Do not roll, but simply form
them into rings with the fingers, and
bake a light brown. They are best
eaten fresh
Honey Candy-Boil one large cup
full of graduated sugar with quarter
of cupful of water until it becomes
hard, almost brittle, when dropped in
cold water, take off, and add third
of cupful of strained honey and q
small half cupful OF butternut meats;
stir steadily until almost stiff, then
pour ON buttered plate, and when

Green peas are among the choicest
of our fresh vegetables. They should
be carefully shelled and freed from
scraps of leaves or hulls, quickly
rinsed in fresh water, and be put at
once into boiling water, just sufficient
to cover them. Close the vessel tight
ly and allow them to boil until the
outside begins to wrinkle. Take off
the cover, add heaping teaspoonful
of sugar, and let them remain on the
fire six minutes: pour in a cup Of
cream, and dust in the least sugges-
ton of pepper, if it is liked. A lump
of the very best butter should be put
in the dish, and the smoking hot peas
must be turned over it, They are to
be sent directly to the table, A dish
OF fresh green peas and plate of
fresh white or brown bread, with plenty
of butter, has made a good meal for
more than one epicure.

a Trick thai Failed.

The dishonest man is pretty sure to
overreach himself sooner or later, as in
the following story. borrowed from an
exchange:
In hotel in Berlin there was night
Waterman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted a few years ago,
requiring him to 90 through the hotel
at certain hours and touch a set OF cleo
trio buttons.
After much thought he rugged IN an
automatic arrangement on several OF
the buttons, so that they would report
at certain hours. Soon the button sys-
TEN got so out of order that the man
agement abolished it, and pedometeI
was given to the Waterman, which
would register every step he took.
All went well the first two nights; but
on the third morning the Old man was
missing. On search being made, lie was
found sound asleep in the eng.ne-room
and the pedometer so attached to the
piston-rod of the engine that with ev-
cry stroke it registered a step. 1t had
been travelling all night. and wher
taken off it registered two hundred and
twelve miles.

Because the weather is mild and the air

than diminish both complaints. For this

prepared for sudden attacks, and TO have
