USEFUL HINTS.

Always use cold water lin summer iced
water to mix pastry, and il it cannot he
baked Immediately set it away in a cool
place.
The proper method of darning is very
simple, care and neatness being really more
essential than actual skill. First lay par
allel threats closely together across the
broken place, and then pick them up in
basket fashion with crosswise threads,
making the darn look like piece of cloth
inserted in the stocking.
\ simple and effective penwiper is
made of common bird shot Any little
china or bronze jar will do for the recep-
taele, and it may be as picturesque as fancy
dictates Fill it with the shot, and to
clean the pen thrust it up and down among
the leaden balls. No chamois or cloth
penwipar polishes the steel SO e$fcctually
and readily as this The lite jar Of shot
will also act as paperwcght if needed.
After exercise Of any kind never ride in
an open carriage, Or near the window Of u
car for a moment; it is dangerous to health
or even life.
Flannel that has become yellow from
being badly washed can he whitened by
soaking it for two or three hours in &
lather made OF one-quarter OF pound OF
cured soap, two tablespoonfuls powdered
boraX and two tablespoonfuls Of carbonate
Of ammonia, dissolved in five or 81 x gallons
OF water. Boil the soap in small shavings
in water till dissolved, then add to it the
other ingredients. Let the flannel lie in it
until it looks winter, then squeeze I'd
press it and rims in bluing water, and
hang in the hot sun to dry. Iron while is
is still damp.
In warm weather lay the eggs in cold
water, as they will froth better when
broken.
When a pudding is baked In mold,
take it from the water and plunge it i'm
medately into cold water, then turn it out
Immediately; this will prevent it from
sticking.
For buras take equal parts a Hsseed OIL
and lime water mixed and pour over the
burn. A cotton or linen cloth wrung out
of the mixture and laid upon the wound.
If this preparation is faithfully used it will
be found to remove pain and give great
deal of comfort. Pure glycesins 10 most
excellent remedy also. When first applied
it causes smarting, but this soon sesses and
the actual pain from the burn is much re-

accident the quicker good results will be
obtained.

DOES ANY OCCUPATION PAY?

In these hard times many are asking the
question, and a large share Of them are
inclined to answer in the negative In each
individual case it would be equally peril
nent to ask: Does grocery keeping pay?
Can the questioner make it pay by doing
business for himself at anything, Or had he
better become hireling and draw salary
the remainder Of his life?
The writer is intimately acquainted with
man who began life as farmer and is
now drawing toward life's close as a farmer,
who spent twenty odd years of his prime in
trying to find out something that was
better. In his youth he greatly coveted a
literary career, and firmly believed he
could ascend the temple of fame. Soon
after his graduation from college he left
the paternal farm and hocks and secured a
place as reporter on a great metropolitan
daily. Doubtless the knowledge that there
was 80, GOO farm behind him, to which he
was practically the only heir, caused him
not to do as good grade of newspaper
work as he would have done if he had
known that his bread and butter for the
rest of his life depended on it. But he had
set out with the determination not to 90

JACK SKELLY IN TOWN.
Will Second James Judge in Thursday
Nights Bout.

NlSnt'S bOuts
The followers of James Judge, the
Scranton lightweight are pleased with
the match he has made with Jack"
MoWilliams, of New London, Conn.,,
and expect to see a good go in their
tifteen-round meeting at Music hall
Thursday night 1t certainly will not
deserve the criticism invited by the
poor lot of men who met in Music hall
two weeks ago. Judge win find in Nc
Williams very clever man. He has
fought a great many battles and is one
of the aspirants to higher fame in the
roped arena.
Jack Skelly, the Brooklyn light
weight, who has recently been Judges
matchmaker, advisor and second, was
in the city yesterday. He has un-
bounded confidence in the Scranton
boys Cleveness and is honest in his
opinion that before many months
Judges claims for recognition will have
to be needed by the shining lights of
the ring. Skelly's opinion is so strong
that he offered kid" McPartland's
representative 800, a present, to make
a twenty-round match. McPartland's
man was willing but changed his mind
after seeing Judge dispose of Sam"
Tonkin I'm four rounds before the Fifth
Avenue Athletic club in New York city.
Skelly had agreed to post forfeit Of
$500.
There will he several good prelimi-
naries Thursday night, among them a
fourteen-round bout between those fast

BRADY's CONFIDENCE IN cORBHrT.
Jim's Manager Sacrificing Everything
for n Meeting with Fitz.

BILLY" Brady has not confined him
self to matching Maher and Sharkey.
but purposes bringing all of the other
second-rate prize fighters together.
When he has doEe this he concludes
this arrangement, and has not only all
of the big money such affairs turn up,
but is strong on lines which viii enable
him to pick out the very best of the
lot for encounters with Fitzslmmons
and Corbctt.
1t Is not Brady's intention to bring
Corbett and Fitzsimmons into the ring
in limited round contest at once.
His plan Is to work gradually up to
that point and by making the public
keen for a meeting, have them come
together in New York. There will be
great kicking over this scheme: MS
much as there il now over Brady be-
ing in any way connected with the
Maher- -Sharkey bout.
One of the peculiar features of the
whole business is that Brady should
drop all other lines of money-malting
and devote his entire time to getting
on another match for Corbett.

THE QUEEN OF THE WHEEL.

The queens of fashion ana of love
or all the varied climes,
From glorious Eighteen Ninety-siX
Back to rcmotest times.
Had each her own peculiar fad
In vehicles of speed;
But Lady Alice on her bike"
is far, far in the lead.
Tho maids of ancient Athens drove
A golden two-Wheeled cart:
The Roman had her chariot
A thing of wondrous art.
The Persian girl her camel rides.
The Chinese lass a chair;
But gentle Alice on her wheel
Is fairest of the fair.
The courtly danes OF old Versailles
Sedan chairs rode, you know;
The Russian has her drosky; and
Her sledge, the Esquimaux.
The Irish lass, a jaunting car;
A coach for London swells:
But lovely Alice on her wheel
Is fleetest OF the bellies.
Yes, Lady Alice leaves them all
Behind her in the race;
With flashing eyes and rosy cheek
She sets old Time pace.
All, what are all these turnouts, pray,
or poverty or state,
Compared with queenly Alice on
A bike" right up to date?
