Family washing can be made much
easier If benzine is used in the water in
the following way: The wash is soaked
the night before washday as usual, a
Ihalf-cupful of benzine being added to
the water before the linen is placed in it.
The next morning, just before the wash
boiler is placed upon the range. another
Ihalf-cupful is added tothat water. Very
little rubbing will then be required to
clean the linen thoroughly. Time and
soap are saved and the clothes will be
brilliantly white and soft. When ben
zine is used the breaking of the skin on
the hands is absolutely avoided. The
smell of the benzine disappears alto
gether in the wash boiler. Care should
be taken not to bring the pure benzine
near the fire, as it is very infiammable.

Wow Expert Pastry Cooks Make {
Fresh Strawberry Pie.

How Expert Pastry Cooks Make a
Fresh Strawberry Pie.
One of the most delicious of all pastry
is q pie of fresh Strawberries. Line d
deep tin pieplate with the incest pastry
you can prepare. Fill the pastry with
uncooked rice and bake it in the oven
When the paste is done remove the rice;
it can be soaked and used for boiling,
or it may be kept on hand to bake in
pastry. 1t simply serves to prevent the
form of pastry from rising and getting
out of shape as it would if it were not
filled. Apple jelly is sometimes used
to fill the pie, and when the crust is
baked its contents are scraped out, leav-
ing perhaps quarter of an inch of jelly
in the bottom. The apple jelly is some
times given the exact flavor of straw
berries by mixing strawberry juice in
equal proportions with apple juice
when the jelly is made. When the crust
is filled with jelly it makes a rather
more elaborate pie, but takes more
time.
In either case, as soon as the crust is
baked dredge little sugar over it and
fill itwith perfectly ripe, luscious straw
berries well sweetened. Heap sweet
ened and whipped cream thickly over
1t. 1t may also be covered with mer-
ingue made of the whites of three eggs
beaten to stiff froth, four tablespoon
fuls of sugar and the juice of half
small lemon. Cover the berries careful
ly with the meringue, which is non
conductor of heat, and isolate the pie
plate holding the pie from the oven bot
tom by setting it on thick pine board,
and bake the meringue in this way in
moderately hot oven for 20 minutes. If
the work of isolation has been properly
done tho berries will not be heated, but
the meringue will have risen and will
be well done and only delicate brown.
Remove the pie to cold plate and let it
become ice cold before serving it.--N.
Y. Tribune.

atty, to educate his wife, retired to a
forest home to carry out his ideas with
out molestation. There, in 1858, RAM
abai was born, and there, in entire Sc
clusion, was educated by her parents.
Orphaned before she was 16, she trav-
eled several years with her brother,
noble young man who sympathiZed
with her in her determination to de-
countrywomen. The degree of Saras-
vati was conferred upon her by the Uni
versity of Calcutta, she being the first
woman in the empire to be thus hon

Pundita Ramabai married Bengal
csc gentleman, lawyer, whom she
freely chose-this being an instance
almost without precedent. He died
within two years, leaving her at "a
with an eight-months-old baby. She
went to England, was made professor
of Sanscrit in Cheltenham college, and
in 1886 came to America to see her
cousin graduate from the Woman's
medical college of Philadelphia and to
study our educational methods.
Ramabai lectured in our principal
cities and wrote a book, "The High

Convenient Book Case Combined

A couch is an Indispensable article in
a room that is frequented as the living

homes this room is apt to be the Ii

low book cases, with broad top for the
accommodation of clock lamps, jar
dinieres and bric-a-brac. a corner case
of this sort can very easily be combined
with a couch after the manner suggest

Here one may take his ease, with all his
favorite volumes convenient to his
hand, while at night the lamp above
his head will make reading and rest
irg especially delightful.
The bookcase proper is broken up by
drawers and curtained spaces, to take
away the "set" look that long rows of
book shelves can hardly help having.
beneath the couch are three capacious
drawers for the convenient holding Of
old magazines, pamphlets or files of Pc

teaspoonful of olive oil, smoking hot.
Add one-half pound of Jordan almonds,
blanched. When the almonds begin to
brown, sprinkle over them one scant
tablespoonful Of salt, and stir and
shake until all are a golden brown. Oil
gives richer glaze than butter. To
blanch the almonds pour over them
boiling water, in which let them stand

ation desserts, give it cake with sliced

NOTED HINDoo WOMAN.
lThe PunditA Ramabai, Daughter of
Marnthi Priest.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
union of India has just held most sue
cessful convention in Poona. The en-.
ergetic president, Mrs. Mary II. Phillips
of Calcutta, presided, and delegate:
from II different organizations of the
Woman's Christian Temperance unior
were present. Pundita Ramabai, OF
Poona, addressed the convention on the
needs of her countrywomen, and re-
ioiced the hearts of the white-ribboners
by saying at the close of her remarks
that, although she had hitherto re-
Trained from throwing herself fully
into the Woman's Christian Temper
anceunion work for want of time, she
was now resolved to take it up. She
was made national superintendent of
native work.
It was decided to form stock COM
pany for the publication of the White
Ribbon, the official organ of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union for
Asia, and III shares were taken at the
convention. A special committee, ap-
pointed to consider the establishment
of an inebriates' home, recommended
that the government be memorialiZed,
asking for legal power to restrain in
ebriates in home, provided the inebri-
ate has pledged himself to submit to
the restraint. The report of the COM
mittee to consider the organization of q
society for the prevention of cruelty to
children was a feature of the conven-
ltion, and a department. for this work in
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union was created. The next conven-
|tion will meet in Allahabad.
Pundita Ramabai is recognized in her
own country as the greatest Hindoo
woman that has lived. She is the daugh-
ter of a Marathi priest and can trace her
Brahmin ancestry thousand years.

properties Of milk, let test be made of
the following preparation of it: When
very weary or weak from exhaustion,
heat some milk to the scalding point,
until thin skin begins to wrinkle upon
the surface, and then drink it as hot as
possible. 1t refreshes almost instantly
and restores the exhausted vitality to a
