Household Hints.

To prevent bruise from becoming
discolored, apply water as hot as can
be borne comfortably, changing the
cloth as soon as it loses its heat. II
hot water is not to be had at once,
moisten some dry starch with cold
water and cover the bruised part With
it.
When tablecloths are beginning tc
wear out in the folds, cut two or three
inches of one end and one side and re.
hem them. This process will change
the places of the folds and will add
new life to the cloth. Napkins and
towels may be treated in the same
way.
Cold roasted or boiled fowl can be
made into croquettes, salads and en-
trees. Tough ends OF steak are good
when made into Hamburg steak. All
fat from meat can be clarified and kept
for frying. Doughnuts and fritters
are much better fried in drippings
than in lard.
lin the cleaning of stove, if little
soap is used it will tighten the labor.
Wet flannel cloth and rub it over q
piece of soap, then dip the cloth into
the stove polish and rub over the
stove; finish with dry cloth or brush.
1t is said the polish will last much
longer than if it is used without the
soap.
Instead of throwing away the wick
Of lamp that has got too short, fasten
it to the new wick, which then can be
made to do longer service. After
lamps are filled and wicks trimmed
turn them down, thus preventing the
oil from coming over the outside and
causing the unpleasant odor of oil
in the room.
A tablespoonful of stewed tomatoes
left from dinner will add to the roast
beef gravy the next day; a single raw
tomato may be peeled and cut into a
garniture for the cold meat. A half
cup of peas may be added to the
breakfast omelet. Water IN whicl
vegetables have been boilen should bt
saved for soups. All cold mashed
potatoes should be saved for GRO
quettes.
The best pie plates are those of til
with straight sides about an inch high
so there is no danger of the content
of the pie running over. Porcelain
lined pie plates do not bake so well o.
the bottom as those of tin. The old
fashioned pie plate of yellow stone
ware is a mistake. 1t is responsible
for the sodden under crusts of old-tim
pies. 1t can be successfully use
only in brick ovens, where the heat
at the bottom and there is danger c
burning the under crust when a ii
pie plate is used.

'The private soldier is seldom seen
In any Of the leading thoroughfares of
the streets of the large German cities, "
observed recently returned military
gentleman to Star reporter, mot,
however, because he would not like to
be seen there, but because il is quite
n lob for him should he show up in
crowded street. In Europe it is diff
ferent from this country, for military
officers have to wear their uniforms
constantly. Indeed, many of them
have no other clothing, and no use for
il if they had. In this country, it
is extremely rare to see an officer in
uniform, and never unless he is going
to or returning from some function
where uniform is necessary, and
which, as / say, is very, very rare.
There are in all of the large cities and
towns of Germany hundreds and
hundreds of officers. 1t is an impera-
tive duty of the soldier to formally
salute them every time one passes,
even if the same officer passes him five
or ten times in an hour. The private
soldier generally takes a side street,
so as to avoid meeting officers, for
saluting every five minutes in day,
and sometimes oftener, which would
be the case should he travel in the
principal streets, gets to be tiresome
after it is observed for three or four
hours. The soldier is nearly always
loyal, and takes pride in saluting his
superior officers, but there is often too
much of a good thing in military life,
as there is in other walks of life. Even
in the side streets he has considerable
saluting to do, but nothing in COM
parison to what he would have to do
should he venture ON the largely
travelled streets. The officers are very
particular in insisting on salutes, and
should soldier attempt to pass them
without doing military honors, on the
excuse that he did not see the officer,
the result would be somewhat serious
to him. Washington Star.

Of death. In Mexico, the surgeon of
the Second Zouaves was one night

some fellow had entered the hospital
camp with burglarious intent, and that
he had instructed the sentries TO ar
rest or shoot all nocturnal trespassers.

again awakened by his dog, and light

Of man crawling from under his
table and carrying large book. He
called for him to stop, cooking his pls-
tol at the same time but the fellow
made rush for the door, and in the
same moment was fioored by a ball
that penetrated his skull. He lived
long enough to confess his desperate
enterprise. His regiment had been
stationed at Algiers, where he learned
to smoke opium, and having exhausted
his supply and his financial resources,
he felt that life was no longer worth
living, and resolved to risk it in the
attempt at abducting the doctors med

Food PoisonInr.

that setting forth the doctrine that one

Within a short time have treated two
curious cases of what may term
eruptive indigestion. In the first |

in the morning. He was apparently
perfectly well. At 8 o'clock was
summoned to his residence. L should
not have recognized him, so distorted
were his features from the eruption
which covered them. Investigation
and the future history of the case set
tied beyond a doubt that the man had
been poisoned by CLANS which he had

was for him alone, other members OF
the family who had partaken of the
same dish feeling no i'll results. A
fortnight later another patient of mine
came to me with marked eruption on
hands and wrists and between the
fingers. A dinner of veal was respon-
sible for the trouble, and again, as in
the first instance, the sufferer was the
only one affected of the family who
had partaken of the meat at the same
meal. In each case found that the
tendency to distress from the parti-
cular food was known to each sufferer,
although never before had the symp-
toms been so marked or distressing.

persons who know their poison to
abstain from it, particularly when

How screwdrlvers Are Made.

Some of the best screwdrivers are
made from worn-out cotton spindles.
In days gone by these worn-out spin
dies were thrown on to an old iron
heap and left to rust until they were
sold for old metal. Then somebody
thought of grinding one edge into q
wedge and flattening the other. Re-

really do know better, but who do not act

custom OF serving wine at weddings and

Miss Belle Keara ey, who recently visited
Alaska in the interests Of the w. e. T. u,
gives the summing up Of her observations
in communication TO tho Union Signal,
from which we Gull the following passages:
''The supreme question among the peo-
pie OF Alaska now Is. What shall be done
with the liquor traffc2 perfect wall Of
despair is going up from the friends OF
temperance and prohibition while the
saloon men laugh them to scorn and push
their trade unmolested. The condition of
this great northwestern territory striking
ly presents the Inconsistency of our ma
tlonal Government in its relation to the
liquor traffic. Congress has declared that
no liquor shall be shipped into Alaska ex-
cept for mechanical, medicinal and sclen-
tihc purposes; but the whole country is
flooded with it. Any man, by paying a
small fec to the revenue agent, can estub-
lish grogshop in any place that suits his
convenience, put out his sign and fling
wide his doors. There are twenty open
saloons in Juneau and just as many in
proportion to the population in Wrangel,
Douglas City and Sitka, and In three OF
these towns breweries are in full blast and
thousands of gallons Of liquor are snug
gled in constantly by the boats and sold
illicitly. Low dance houses flourish, and
impurity, like a foul vulture, feeds upon
the people,"
At wrangel she had an interview with
a saloon-keeper, TO whom she said:
"Have you license to run your saloon?"
Certainly we get 1t from the Government.
You see it is tackled up on the side of the
wall, - turning his thumb in the direction
of the bar. How much dill you pay for
it?'' twenty-five dollars" Glow are
these licenses procured2" From the main
Government office in Portland, Or, or
directly from the revenue agents who come
up to issue them to u.s. do you sell
much liquor?' Eyes, iDdeedv' "Do you
sell to Indians?" "No, no." was the excit-
ed reply, muttered between closed teeth,
and, turning around, he walked of. So
did l, with a sovereign contempt in my
soul for Government that could SO dis
honor itself.
A missionary at Wrangel told her that
the white men brought theliquor in bottles
and jugs, then sold 1t privately to the ma
tives, who were constantly debauched by
1t. 1t is almost impossible to indict a man
for violating the law, because no one will
testify In court against him, and IL he did,
no jury would find q true bill. The Indians,
who are the chief victims OF the white
mans greed maintain an unbroken silence,

Neal Dow's FIRST Temperance Work.


Neal low was twenty-five years old when
he delivered his first temperance speech.
It was at an anniversary supper of a FIRE
company to which he belonged, and his
strenuous opposition to the use OF liquor
was effective to that degree that the fire
company adopted temperance as princi-
Pile. Later he prevailed upon the Maine
Mechanics Charitable Association to fore
go the use of wine at its annual dinner.
At that time liquor was almost univers-
ally used in Maine. One of the curious
customs of Portland in those days was the
ringing of the town bell at II and at
O'Clock, by way of warning to mechanics
that it was time to leave work and get
drink. This custom the young reformer
succeeded in having abolished. Then he
persuaded most of the Portland employers
to discontinue supplying their men with
liquor.
After his first successes, Neal Dow felt
that Temperance was the most important
cause of the age. 1t was owing largely to
his efforts that the Young Mons Total Alb
stinence Society Of Portland was organized
Its first meeting, 1t is said, was held in the
counting-room of II distillery,-Harper'
Weekly.
