What to Eat.

An excellent sauce to serve with
cold meat is made from grated horse
radish the yolk of an egg and whip
ped cream. Squeeze every particle
of vinegar from three tablespoonfuls
of the hOrseradish, and mix thorough

teaspoonful of salt. Add six table
spoonfuls of whipped cream and mix
again. Serve on a small dish by it.

meat or poultry, arranging the slices
about it with border of parsley.
Rice and cheese are very good with
roast beef. They are cooked in much
the same way as we commonly pre-
pare maccaroni and cheese. Boil the
rice until tender in sailed water,
drain dry, then put in a baking dish
alternate layers of rice and grated
cheese. The layers of cheese should
not be more than a sprinkling sea-
soned with salt and little butter;
cover with sweet milk, sprinkle with
fine bread crumbs and brown

Shirt Waists.

The shirt waist has proven a boon
to the women of Florida and it's popu-
arity is attested by sight at the
women, for 90 per cent. will be seen
wearing them. How to keep them
looking nicely where there is no laun-
dry or where the pocketbook does not
permit of the shirts going away from
home, is a question that puzzles many.
The Savannah News helps them out
by giving the following advice:
eff there are any unwashable but
tons or trimmings, remove them and
throw the shirt into clear cold water
for an hour. IF you are afraid OF the
color running add a handful of salt.
''After washing in warm suds and
drying it, make your starch in quart
of water. Thick cambria blouses
should only be starched at the collar
and cuffs and down the front hem.
To the starch should be added half
a teaspoon of gum arabic dissolved in
water with a little borax. Wiring the
shirt dry out of the rinsing water and
hold it by the back of the neck.

An excellent method for removing
grease spots from a waxed floor is to
pour spirits of turpentine on the spot
and allow it to soak into the wood;
then cover it with powdered tale and
allow it to soak into the wood; then
press with a warm iron. The tale will
absorb the grease and may be rubbed
off and the place polished anew with
wax.
Two parts boiled linseed oil and one
of turpentine is the proportion for the
occasional oiling of wood floors; and
for washing them use one spoonful of
paraffine oil to two gallons of water.
Use ivory paste for cleaning painted
woodwork. Rub a little paste over
the soiled spots with soft flannel,
then rub off with another clean fan
mel. Hardwood floors may be cleaned
the same way, great care being taken
not to use rough cloth or anything
that will scratch the polish.
If furniture becomes bruised, wet
the bruised portion with a piece Of
brown paper doubled four or five times
and soaked, apply on that hot iron
till the moisture is evaporated If
the bruises are not entirely gone, re-
peat the process.
A cheap and excellent furniture pol
ish is made by using equal parts of
common wax, white wax and white or
ivory soap to one pint Of water. Gut
the ingredients fine and heat over n
fire till well mixed with the water.

To remove stains in tables wash the

and work in the starch, after which
wiring these parts in a towel and rub
thoroughly; roll up tightly and leave
them for half an hour, at the end OF
which they are ready for ironing. In
the case of ginghams or any half
transparent material dip the entire
shirt into hot starch and wiring it be-
tween a towel. Two tablespoonfuls OF
raw starch into quart of boiling wa
ter with dish of gum arabic, form
the proper thickness. Use the starch
as hot as possible, and when the shirt
is wrung dry, clap it between the
hands until it is thoroughly cleared
of the starch. 1t must then be ironed
as quickly as possible.
Select the oldest, smOothest and
cleanest iron you can find, polish it
we'll with a wax cloth and test the
heat of it with piece of white paper
before beginning to iron. First the
woke, then the collar, inside and out
side, then the back, and last of all,
the sleeves and cuffs. A shirt board
and sleeve board are very helpful,
and, indeed, the latter is a necessity.
1t should be half an inch thick, five
inches wide and graduated SO that it
may fit any sleeve. This should be
covered all over with flannel and
again covered all over with white mus
lin, sewed on firmly. When the sleeve
is ironed, stroke the gathers with the
fingers and hang the shirt up to dry.
If these directions are followed, the
shirt will look as we'll as if sent to an
expensive laundress."

Robert q. Scott, whose home is on
Forest street, near Bismarck Place, in
Riverside, was bitten Friday morning
by tarantula. The effect OF the
spiders poison is to paralyze the NUS
cular system, and depress the heart.
DR.. r. I'll. Dean, who was summoned,
used the most powerful remedies
known in medical practice to restore
and maintain the action of the heart,
and with all his efforts the patients
pulse was only forty beats to the
minute Friday night, instead of seven
ty-two. The body was paraIyzed and
the muscles of the abdomen and chest
were as hard to touch as beard.
The doctor expressed himself as Of
the opinion that the man was very
sick, but he hoped by stimulating
the action of the he;lrc till the poison
should be eliminated from the sys-
tenn, to keep his patient alive. A
search was made afterward in the

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Our Purpose.

IcdOlIlS, UdhCIl IIOI dill
Probably the most miserable life of
which we have any conception is the
life devoid of purpose, aimless, drag
ging a weary dawdling existence from
day to day; feeble in desire, animated
by no determined effort, and inspired
by no bright star of hope.
We recently read of three young
lives, over whom the vapor of extreme
lassitude had settled; one sighed for
wealth, and yet put forth no deter
mined effort toward the attainment of
her hearts desire; another sighed for
friends to love and cherish her, while
her own life was SO warped, narrow
and selfish that it could not yield the
loving service that would insure the
affection of those about her; the third
longed for something to long for! All
three surrounded by varied blessings,
fairly Illustrating in the sunshine of
Gods goodness, and yet failing to find
the secret of a happy life-the posses
sion of a resolute purpose, whereby
we may express the laudable desire to
live for something, to "be hero in
the strife" A noble purpose measures
the strength of our desire, and enables
us to concentrate our forces, and mass
them in their attack upon given
point.
Intensity of purpose also gives uni
ty and consistency to our characters,
so that we are not driven hither and
thither, buOyed up on the restless
waves of life by virtue of our light
ness, nor carried about at the pleas
ure of every capricious wind of fancy
A celebrated writer has said that
greatness is not attained by an occas-
ional long flight, but by short flights
in given direction oft repeated. To
make these flights requires courage,
perseverance, industry and consecra-
ton of talent in a given direction. A
young woman employed in a queens
ware store, used her leisure moments
in pursuing a course of study upon
glassware and china, keeping herself
informed as to the appointments of
the table until, by intelligent applica-
ton to her business, she became the
most valuable employe in large store.
In a millinery establishment, the
young woman who consecrates her
spare time to improving herself in the
harmonious combinat ton of colors, be-
comes so expert in the selection of
flowers and feathers land in the tying
of bows, etc., that she is soon a favor
tie with customers, and indispensable
to her employers. Caroline Herschel,
distinguished as singer, mathematical
calculator and astronomer, won her
well-merited claims to genious
through her indomitable will and per-
sistent effort. Being the youngest
child and fifth daughter, her mother
did not care to have her intellect
trained beyond the sphere of domestic
and household duties; so she prepared
meals, waited at table, did needle
work and knitting, and her education
was secured in stolen half hours when
she could escape from the imperative
duties of the day.
