-Ioneycomb Sofa Pillow.

This is really sort OF crazy work
as one can use up the odds and ends
of silk scraps. Cut pieces 21s inches
square and sew to a foundation but
two inches square, thus giving a
pulled appearance. Place little wad-
ding between silk and lining to pre-
serve the plumpness.
Arrange the squares alternately
light and dark, and briar-stitch or
cat-stitch the seams with bright Ash
attic twisted embroidery silk
A dainty pillow for blue room
may be made of blue and black, ac-
cording to the way it will be used.
I have also seen head rests made in
the same way. One in particular was
composed Of pieces of old-fashioned
ribbons, relics of by-gone days; they
worked up very nicely and the owner
can tell you the exact place where
such and such bonnet was worn for
the first time. It arouses many pleas
ant memories in her life. Hers was

Biting the Finger Nails.

The habit is comparatively easy to
break off if one goes at it in the
right way A middle-aged woman,
after having bitten her nails almost
her entire lifetime, broke herself Of
the habit by beginning on one finger.
This she persistently left alone and
carefully cultivated the finger nail,
giving a certain amount of attention
to it every day. When this finger had
grown to the usual length she took
up another, and so on, until all her
shape. 1t took months of the most
persistent effort to break up the last
remaining scrap of this tenacious
practice. She said that she thought it
was actually the greatest struggle of
her life The habit had become so
fixed, that after days of abstinence
from even a single nibble, she would
find herself almost viciously gnawing
away at the poor little finger; but al
and although her hands never regain
ed their symmetrical shape, they were
vastly improved, and her health,
which had peen seriously affected,
improved also. She had for years been
subject to indigestion and kindred
difficulties, but, for some reason or
other, they almost entirely left her,

the cloth but nice hot suds should
be made and the garment washed out
quickly, rinsed and dried at once.
Ivory soap makes the best suds for
prints as it will not color or fade
them if they are washed properly.
A little clear starch put into the last
rinse water is a good plan for if
rinsed and starched at the same time
the dresses will not have to be wet
again IS they would be if dried and
then starched.
Colored goods dried on a cloudy day
are more liable to look dingy, and if
a rain comes up and vets them before
they dry, and the colors run together
by staying wet SO long, put them in
a tub of clear cold water, soak awhile,
wiring and dry quickly and they will
all look clear and bright again.

CutwOrnlS.

Many thousands of dollars worth
of vegetables, corn, tobacco plants.
ETC., are destroyed each spring by
cutworms,w hich cut off the young
plants near the ground as soon as
these have been set out. The best rem
edy for these worms is to prepare the
ground early, and about week be-
fore planting make up quantity of
balls of fresh clover, cabbage leaves,
or bran moistened with a paste Of ten
parts Paris green to one part flour.
Drop these balls throughout the field
about twelve feet apart. The worms
coming to the surface and finding
nothing else to eat, will devour the
poisoned balls and be destroyed.
Fresh balls must be placed every
three days, and had better be contill-
ued until the young plants are out of
danger. In spite of all precautions,
some plants may be cut off. When a
plant is found freshly cut, dig away
the soil for two inches around it, and
the worm will be found near by

Washing Muslins and Calicoes.

The seasons for wearing muslins and
prints of various colors is almost here
and while many of them are SO pretty
and make one look so cool, they have
to be Numbered often and generally
fade evry badly, and sometimes are
hardly fit to be worn again. But if
washed properly nearly all calicoes
may be kept pretty as new long
time. If wash woman is hired, it
is best to see that she does not put
the new calicoes in strong suds or
maybe boil them with lot of colored
clothes or drop a cake of brown soap
on the prettiest one, and let it stay
till it makes a big yellow spot, as the
majority are very apt to do.
1t is best to have a small tub con-
venient in which to wash such gar
ments separately and to be very care
full as to the kind of soap used.
Neither should the soap be rubbed on

Crystalizing with Alum.

We have had inquiries from several
of our friends as to how to crystalize
with alum, and as it seems this is
again to be popular, we give direc-
lions as we find them in a late maya
zine:
You must form your basket, vase,
tree, grotto, or other object of wire,
taking due care to leave sufficient
room for the formation Of the crys-
tails, so that they may have their full
effect. Over the wire twist some
worsted thread so that it is complete
ly covered in every part. 1t, in grot-
to or other similar object, Fantastic
forms are desired, pieces of coke may
be fastened to the wire and covered in
pound of alum in a quart of water by
boiling in a tin vessel, not too fast;
half a pound in a pint, or a quarter
of a pound in half pint of water,
preserving the same proportions
whatever the quantities may be.
Keep stirring the solution with
piece of wood until the process is
complete. Remove the liquid from the
fire, and placing a piece of wood
across a deep, glaze, earthen jar, sus'
pend the wire basket, or other article
in it, from the stick with piece Of
stout thread. When the alum solution
is about the warmth of new milk,
pour it into the jar, and leave your
subjects suspended in it for about
twenty-four hours; after which re-
move the same to dry in the shade.
TO obtain colored crystals it is only
necessary to put some dying material
into the alum solution-turmeri
gives the transparent yellow crystals;
is literally no end to the pretty and
lOgwOOd, purple, etc.
AS can be readily imagined, there
attractive ornaments that can be
made from these fairy-like crystals,
and the only difficulty is to curb the
energy of the devotee of alum work.

A HELPFUL CORNER.

Florida has been experiencing an
ideal spring in 1897 and it will be one
long remembered by our housekeep-
ers. 1t has reminded them of the
years gone by, of northern seasons
when housekeeping was done in cool
weather. Those who have taken time
bv the forelock have been fortunate
to get all their cleaning done.

left is then filled with powdered sug-
ar and-if liked-a teaspoonful of
boiled cidar poured over it, but this
is not necessary. The other manner
is to scoop out all the pulp with a
spoon, remove the fiber and seeds,
sweeten it and return to the rinds
mixed with shaved ice. Half fruit
is generally apportioned to each indi-
vidual
Frozen Lemons.-TheSe also are a
new dainty seen at ceremOniOus
luncheons. Select large, fresh looking
lemons and wash and polish them
we'll. Cut in two, lengthwise, and
with a silver spoon remove all the
pulp. AS with grape fruit, separate
out the fiber and seeds. Then to each
quart of pulp and juice, put one cup
cold water and two cups sugar. Turn
into a freezer and freeze hard. When
frozen, return to the rinds, which,
meanwhile, should be kept in iced
water in order to make them firm.
These look very pretty served on
small plates garnished with green
leaves.
Rhubarb Sherbet.--This will be
found refreshing beverage in the de-
blitating days of May. Wash, but do
not peel, eight stalks of rhubarb. Cut
into inch-length pieces, place in a
saucepan with one quart cold water
and cook slowly until very tender.
Add three ounces granulated sugar
and the grated rind of one lemon.
Cover and stand in cool spot for
four or five hours. Strain and chill,
or cool with cracked ice.
Fruit Salad.-Pare one Florida and
two mandarin oranges and divide
them into sections. Shell and halve
one dozen English walnuts; remove
the seeds from two Malaga grapes;
shred with a fork one small pineapple

small pieces) and slice two red ba-
nanas. Mix we'll and cover with "A
French dressing of vinegar and sugar.
Chill thoroughly and arrange on let
tuce leaves Garnish with Mayor

Frozen Macedoine.-This is a deli
cious mixture of fruits for dessert.
Halve two oranges and one shaddock
and carefully take out the pulp;
shred one fresh pineapple, and use a
can Of white cherries, drawing off the
juice. Measure the cherry syrup and
add enough of the water to make a
half pint. Sweeten with one cup of
sugar. Bring this to the boiling point
and pour over the fruit, together with
one cup of boiled cider. When per-
fectly cold put in freezer, pack with
ice and salt, and allow it to stand for
three hours, stirring occasionally.

| full public career as governor of New
York and senator in congress.
His career would have ended as he
expected and not really, SO far as great
| things were concerned. have begun. The
mounted messenger could not success
fully pursue the official who had gone
with Mr.. Fish's nomination to the SEN
ate.
The nomination was before the senate
when the special messenger arrived at
the capitol. It was confirmed without
reference. Many of the senators had
served with Mr.. Fish, and they were
glad to do him the honor of immediate
confirmation.
1t was too late, MI. President, said
the private secretary. "The messenger
did not get to the capitol in time, and
the nomination has already been con-
frmed.'
Mr.. Fish was Immediately informed
by Secretary Washburn that President
Grant was not informed Of his declina-
ton until just after the nomination had
been sent to the senate, and he was
urged to relieve General Grant of i'm
mediate embarrassment by accepting
and serving until the president could
find some one competent for the Office
and satisfactory to himself and the
country.
Thus accepting, Mr.. Fish went to
Washington, expecting to stay only .
few months at the l9ngest. He remained
with Grant eight years and had the
pleasure Of receiving as his successor his
fellow townsman and next door neigh
Dor in New York, William M. Evarts.
After Garfield reached his hotel in
Washington, bewildered by thousand
different things and perplexed by the
most embarrassing failure of many of
his plans, he found that he had three
days in which he must find time for
cabinet construction.
New York gave him much anxiety,
but he at last decided to nominate Levi
p. Morton for secretary of the navy.
That Office was rendered to Mr.. Morton
on March 1. and he accepted it.
With the treasury department., for
which he had Senator Allison in view,
also provided for, Garfield felt that the
rest Of the work could be easily done.
But while he, in his hotel parlor, was
going carefully over the list on the night
of March there were excitement and
anger in the asceticlike apartments of
Senator Conkling, not far away.
Garfield has offered Morton the navy
department, and Morton has accepted,
said John H. Starin before he had pass
ed over the threshold Of Conkling's door.
Mr.. Starin afterward said that he had
never seen Conkling more magnificently
angry than he was at that moment.
''The honorable and distinguished
representative from the Diamond back
district must withdraw that acceptance.
Had Mr.. Morton been named for the
treasury should have said aye, with q
mental reservation, but as the master Of
the hulks, no."
Conkling insisted that Mr.. Starin
should at once go to Mr.. Morton's
house and bring him to Conkling's
apartments. II wish to reason with
him. said the senator. Mr.. Starin
found Mr.. Morton in bed with blue lips
and the clammy sweat Of q malarial
