Family washing can be l~nde much
easier if benzine is used in the water in
the following way: The wash is soaked
the night before washday as usual. q
half-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
half-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 tie 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 il is very infammable.

How to Make a Plain Meal Delightful

A simple and dainty breakfast is one
of the most delightful things in the

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 golden brown. Oil
gives a richer glaze than butter. To
blanch the almonds pour over them
boiling water, in which let them stand

A DAUGHTERS TRIBUTE
Nellie Grant Sartoris' Memories of
Her IllustriOus Father.

caused him TO keep the home outside
the circle of care. Although most per-

ways indicated the moment he came to

had been removed and that he was free
to put aside the worries and annoy

Never was there an instant that any
of us felt in awe of him. We all real

Deaths face Is not a pleasant thing to
look upon, yet thousands of men and wo-
men go about daily with the reflection of
death in their faces. The dull eyes, the
sallow complexion, the sunken cheeks, the

sidious advances of that implacable foe

consumption Is incurable. 1t is not. Thou
sands of consumptives have testified to
their complete recovery after they were
given up by the doctors and all hope was

seat of the trouble which is imperfect

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
How to Construct n China Closet and
Sideboard at Home.


SidebOard at Home.
There are few housekeepers whose
dining-rooms are not provided with
sideboards who have not many times
felt the need of these most serviceable
pieces of furniture. 1t often happens,
however. that there is not room in an
existing dining-room for one of the
rather bulky sideboards of the furniture
dealer. or it may be that the leanness
of the family purse puts the purchase
of this article out of the question. In
either event, the design of a combined
china closet and sideboard which is
given herewith may be of interest and
assistance.
The china closet shown here is half
again as wide as the ordinary closet
door, and IS short in its distance from
top to bottom. The door is hinged to
the bottom, instead of at the side, and
is provided with a handsome fat brass
chain at either side to hold the door in
a horizontal position when open. This
then becomes available for use as side
board at meal times, when extra room is
needed for the dessert, fruit, etc. The
shape of this closet is such that it would
only be possible in the case of new
house being built, or an old one remod-
eled, or in case where the space adjoin-
ing the diningToom is such that china
closet can be constructed in the dining
room wall. Where these conditions OBJ
tain, the wide, low closet can be had.

tending from floor to ceiling, or from
midway of the wall to the ceiling, how

Hot MIX as Nutriment.

If anyone doubts the pourishing
properties of milk, let a 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
surprising extent as soon as II is taken.
1t is more nutritious than any of the
beef teas made from meat extracts, or
that made from fresh beef.

of the wall to the ceiling, the present

be put on and hinged as is the one in the

closed with curtain, sliding upon

be adopted for the upper half of closet
now extending from the floor to the cell

curtain. In any event the door that is
