Counterfeiting the Rupee.

The rupee is coined as freely in In
dia to-day as it was before the govern
ment closed the mints. When the
mints were open, more rupees were
coined by private coiners than by the
government. The savings of the na-
tives are made in silver bracelets, rings
and other ornaments. When it be-
came necessary for them to turn a part
of their resources into money they did
it by employinga native coiner TO turn
the metal into rupees. 1t is a country
of vast distances and the natives could
not send their ornaments to a govern
ment mint perhaps one thousand miles
away. The native coiner Travelled
from place to place and hut to hut,
just like a country tinker. He was
glad to work all day turning silver
bangles into rupees, weight for weight,
for perhaps one rupee as his reward.
And very good rupees they turned out,
too. They are current everywhere, and
nobody questions them. Of course,

Preserving Cut Flowers.

Not long since we published the
following recipe for preserving cut
flowers, but upon request it is again
printed:
Make some good, strong soap suds,
which take the place of roots and
is therefor very important and put the
flowers therein, taking care not to
pack the stems too closely together.
Every morning without fail the flow
ers must be taken out of the suds,
their stems clipped a wee morsel and
lay sideways in clear, cold water. See
that every stem is we'll covered, let lie
for few minutes, sprinkle with the
fresh water, shake and return to the
suds, and your flowers will look as if
just that moment picked. Change
the suds every three days, follow this
rule carefully, and at the end of a
whole month compare your flowers
with those of day or two old which
have been carelessly crammed into a
vase of water, and mark the contrast.
Even after the fifth week the flowers
that have been fed by the suds will
look passably we'll. This is certainly
worth a trial for flower lovers.

Valuable Alaskan Fish.

One of the very few natural COM
forts to be had in the Klondike region
is found in the candlefish, which is
plentiful all along the shores of
Alaska and furnishes food, light, heat
and medicine to the hardy gold pros.
pectors.
The candlefish is of the smelt variety,
but larger and fatter. 1t is easily
caught and when held up to the light
is almost transparent. The Alaskans
dry these fish in large quantities and
store them away for the winter.
When a native is showed in and with
out light he has only to insert the
tail of a candlefish in a convenient
crack and touch match to its nose
in order to obtain a clear three.
candle power light.
The backbone is largely formed
Of phosphorus, which not only causes
it to ignite easily, but also accounts
for the strength of the flame and the
heat developed. The substance of the
fish, largely fat, retards the rapid
burning, as the tallow acts in an or
dinary candle. The fish is also valua-
BILE as food. Still another use to
which it may be put is as a substitute
for cod-liver oil, which, aiding the
natural heat of the body, serves to
protect one against the severe cold.

Some Novel Sandwiches.

Mrs. Rorer, who is an authority on
all matters relating to cookery, gives
in the October number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, the following recipes:
Peanut sandwiches are usually made
from grated peanuts. Have the pea
nuts thoroughly roasted, and CRATE
them on the ordinary crater. Cut the
end from a square loaf of bread, butter
the loaf, then cut off thin slices, and
so continue until you have the desired
quantity. Spread over thick layer
of the grated peanuts. Put two slices
together, trim off the crusts and cut
the slices into fancy shapes-either
rounds, crescents, triangles or squares.
Lemon sandwiches are made by
scenting both the bread and the but
ter. Trim the crust from q loaf of
fresh bread; put it into a large butter
pot or soup tureen, and surround it
with lemon peel. Take a sufficient
quantity of butter, about half a pound,
cover it over with grated lemon, wrap
in wax paper, put it also in the tureen
and allow it to remain over night.
When you are making the sandwiches
rub the butter down until little soft,
add gradually the juice of one lemon
and four tablespoonfuls of finely
chopped parsley. Spread it on the
bread, put two slices together and cut
into the desired shape.

Vinegar from Summer Apples.

If there were only larger proper
ton of sweet in summer apples, they
would be much the best for making
into vinegar, as the warm weather
causes violent fermentation, which
soon gets into the vinegar stage. But
it is found that though the fermenta-
ton is rapid because of the tempera'
ture, the vinegar resulting therefrom
is thin and poor. There is decided
advantage in adding some sugar after
the cider has passed the alcoholic
stage of fermentation. 1t will increase
the sourness of the vinegar, while there
will still be the same apple aroma and
flavor which makes apple cider vinegar
the best that can be produced from
anything. The fall apples, even those
called "sour," have more sweetness in
them than have the best sweet sum-
mer apples. The Russet apple makes
. very rich cider, but it does not ripen
until all the warm weather has passed,
80 it keeps in the alcoholic stage all
winter, and is very apt during that
time to be drank by cider-thirsty peo-
pie. The advantage of making cider
from summer apples is that hot wealth
er brings it so soon to the vinegar
stage that comparatively little of it
will be drank as cider.

Busy Women.

A late enumeration shows that there
are in the great city. of New York, the
following distribution of the fair sex
in the various avocations of life:
Women musicians and teachers of
music 1879 and women professors and
schoolteachers, 1853. There are l.
569 women hotel.keepers and board
ing-house-keepers, 1885 women house.

dresses, 3,253 nurses and midwives,

holds, 1879 women bookkeepers and
accountants, 1916 women clerks and
copyists, 2,4O4 women merchants and
dealers, 1858 saleswomen and 1913
stenographers and typewriters. There
are 2,O1S women paper-box-makers,
4233 women cotton and other textile
min operatives, 22,416 women dress

industrial field made by women during
the last few years becomes more no
ticeable when the whole country is
considered. According to the census
bureaus figures there are now in the
United States 1857 women physicians,
without counting 337 dentists and two

Deficiency judgments.


The loan agents in Portland and
elsewhere are still greatly worried over
the deficiency judgment clause in ;he
revenue law of this State. They in
sist that lender of money on mort
gage should have the privilege of tax
ing not only the property upon which
the money is lent, bnt also any other
property the borrower may have, and
still, in some cases, hold q claim OF
his future earnings; in other words,
that the law shall guarantee mort
cages against loss by panic, depression
or any other cause, while abandoning
all others to their fate. The old bru-
tality and injustice of Imprisonment
for debt was just as earnestly defended,
and all who opposed it we're denounced
as dishonest, but it had to give way to
more just and humane system. The
deficiency judgment is relic of
cruelty and favoritism, and it must
eventually be suppressed everywhere.
The man who is energetic and enter.
prising and tries to develop and pro.
duce is sufficiently punished if he fails
and loses the property he mortgages.
The man who produces nothing, de-
velopes nothing, but makes a profit
out of the public spirit of others, is
sufficiently rewarded it he gets the
property ON which he makes q loan.
The end of the transaction is that the
producer goes to the wall and the nom
producer gets all there is as the result
of the effort to make two blades of
grass grow where one grew before.
Surely this is protection enough.
This State should never again author
ize deficiency judgments.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When sponges are very foul, wash
them in diluted tartaric acid, rinsing
them afterward in water; it will make
them very soft and white.
To restore the color of cashmere
that has been splashed with mud,
sponge the discolored parts with water
with small piece of soda dissolved in
it.
To revive old writings, ETC., boil
some gall nuts in wine, apply to the
old writings with sponge stepped in
the liquor, when the letters will ap-
pear as fresh as if newly done.
To free trees from caterpillars, etc.,
take flower of sulphur, one part /;
starch, three parts; make into thin
paste with water, apply to the tree
with a painters brush.
To blacken tan leather boots and
shoes, rub every part Of the boots we'll
with a juicy potato cut into thick
slices, and when dry, clean in the US
ual way with backing, taking care to
put the backing we'll on.
To remove mildew from linen, soap
the spots with good yellow soap, then
rub with powdered chalk, lay the linen
in the open air where the sun shines
directly on it. Dampen it once or
twice as it dries, and if necessary re.
peat the application.
If the bath room is used by so large
family that it is found difficult al
ways to supply fresh towels, good
authority says never fold and hang up
a damp towel for second use. Shake
the towel we'll, and spread out in the
fresh air and sunshine, that it may be
thoroughly dried. Then, if it must be,
it can be used again.
An old housekeeper remarks that
before sealing jellies it is best to pour
film of salad oil on to prevent mold.
1t does not in the least affect the
taste, and is all drained off before u.s.
ing the jelly, and it keeps the air out
perfectly. Tin covers for jelly tum-
blers should always have the brandy
or egg papers under them,
To clean satin, mix together two
onnces of soft soap, two ounces of
honey, about half the beaten white of
an egg, and two tablespoonfuls of gin.
Apply this mixture with a piece of
flannel, working always in one direc-
ton, rinse off with cold water, let it
drain, and iron upon the wrong side,
after wrapping in clean towels for two
hours to dry. This mixture may be
poured into pots, and kept covered for
