How to Make Pumpkin Pies.

The pumpkin will be sweeter and
of richer color if it is not peeled. Gut
it up and scrape out the seeds and soft
interior. Put it in a large porcelain
lined preserve kettle and pour pint of
boiling water ON it. Cover it closely
and let it stand where it will slowly
steam until its juices are drawn out.
Then cook it rather faster until the
juices have been absorbed and it is al
most dry. 1t should cook about eight or
nine hours. Rub it through a coarse
sieve and leave it to drain in finer
sieve overnight. Use the pumpkin liq-
uor to make brown bread.
La the morning take quart Of milk
to cups of the strained and drained
pumpkin. Add large teaspoonful Of
salt, large tablespoonful Of ginger,
one of mace, half nutmeg grated,
eggs and cup and half of sugar and
mix well. Bake this custard in deep
pie tins. Make some of the pies at least
in square tins, to provide the delightful
corner pieces which are sure to be in
demand. A custard of pumpkin should
be Ecade at least an inch thick. Make
mir :, apple and any other pies as thin
as le canons of fashionable taste de.
mand, but do not attempt to make a
pumpkin pie unless it is generous in
size and ample in depth.

HOW TO TELL YOUR GEAR.

Formula Hor the ChainIess Wheel Is an
Interesting One.
The up to date whee1man or wheel
woman takes great pride in being able
to tell you the gear of the bicycle to
the fraction of an inch. 1t was easy to
determine the gear on the chain wheel,
the process being simply to multiply
the diameter of the rear wheel by the
number of teeth in the front sprocket
and divide the result by the number OF
teeth in the rear sprocket-
But the chainless wheel has been
pulling those who have bought them
or intend to buy them. To determine
the gear of chainless wheel, unless the
formula is known, is an extended and
difficult problem. The new chainless,
as now made, has but two gears, the
highest being 70. Later on there Will
be others. to choose from, but as it ne
cessitates cutting teeth of different
pitch in the rear cogs it will be imprac-
ticable to have the variety of gear OBJ
tainable in the chain wheel.
The ~ inch geared chainless has 40
and Is teeth, respectively, in its front

The formula for determining the gear
is as follows:

What He Has Learned About the Women

A woman Is always ready to start

Next it occurs to her that her lamp

Her saddle is not just right. don't
you know, and that comes in for share

She never realizes that her bicycle
exists until she is ready to start out on it.
Of course she can't ride up the hills
because she hasn't the strength, and
she can t ride down them because She 8

her.
And still the dear girls wonder why

present fiscal year. The difference
between the expenditure and the in
come of the government for five

this sum, but it will not vary very
greatly from these figures. Tie

length. There are Russian and other
blouse bodices and bodices with and
without basques. The one sided way of
trimming appears on many of our bod

at this season of the year, when the
leaves and dead branches are dropping
from the trees and are lying in the road
way, the cyclist should exercise care in
running over twigs and sticks. The
most innocent stick in the world, lying
apparently at right angles to the front
wheel, may turn. rise up and catch in
the bicycle. The result is apt to be the
loss of spokes when it flies into the

twigs or sticks lodge there. Then the

SPONGES.
How to Select Them and Their vaxiod

How to Select Them and Their Varied
Uses.
There are many purposes about the
house that require the use of sponge
in place of cloth. When taken care Of
properly, sponge will last long time
for household purposes Purchase a
large pored coarse bathing sponge. One
of fair size may be bought for rs or 30
cents where a specially is made OF
sponges, chamois skin and few other
articles of the kind kept by druggists
among their sundries.
Fine carriages are always washed
with sponges, and this is the best way
to wash off fine finished woodwork, dry
ing it afterward with soft absorbent
towel. When it is desirable to wash a
hard wood floor, a sponge will do the
work more rapidly and with less injury
or danger from scratching than any
cloth. If the work is quickly done, as
It should be, and if an absorbent cloth
of soft cotton follows the trace Of the
sponge, no water is left behind.
Sponges are much cheaper than they
were formerly. A very good bathing
sponge may be purchased as low as 81. %
or $3.50. These once cost three or four
times that sum. A physician usually
selects rather dark kind of sponge that
shows no signs of having been bleached,
because it is a well known fact that
ragpickers take out the sponges from
the refuse barrels of hospitals, clean and
bleach them with acids and offer them
for sale. These sponges are used in the
foulest diseases and should not be sold
again for any purpose. For this reason
the snowy bleached sponges of the itin-
Grant vendors should be avoided.
The finest silk sponges come from
Turkey and the east and are always
costly. They are used chiefly by sur
geons. A coarse, open meshed sponge is
easily washed and dried, and it is there
fore most desirable for household pur-
poses Always hang it out in the open
air in order to insure its being sweet
and free from the close smell that q
sponge shut up in box acquires.

Rheumatism

It is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
is pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to- get nd
of Rheumatism is because the y
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. Rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.

Riding without Food.

It is almost impossible to ride when

cyclists have experienced a sudden weak
ness after riding without food for any
time. It is like supplying a steam en-
CINE with coal-the greater the labor
and the faster the pace the more quickly
does one get hungry and the more need
is there Of food The cyclist should eat
often rather than heavily, and should
carry some light refreshments such as
chocolate biscuit or raisins for an emer-
eency.

The Dingley bill was intended to

hibitory duties on goods that would
come in competition with the out
