Big Hats and Headache.

The enormous hats worn by some
ladies of the present day are said to
cause q peculiarly irritating kind of
headache. The weight of these hats
in itself is too heavy for the delicate
Uranium of a woman, but worst of all
is the anxiety the lady must feel in
keeping such thing poised on her
head. A physician who was consult
ed prescribed the usual remedies for
what ladies called the migraine, but
strongly advised them to put aside
such headgear and wear light, reason
able bonnets. This physician says
that, although he is no alarmist, he is
Of opinion that the exaggerated hats
overladen with ornaments which many
ladies now wear are responsible for q
good deal of the peevishness, fretful-
ness and incipient mental alteration
which characterize so many who
pride themselves on being in the
fashion.

Hearty and Delicious Soup.

A hearty delicious soup is this,
given by Miss Parloa. 1t is too hearty,
In fact, to precede dinner Of many
courses, but is just the thing on cold
winters day, when the subsequent
menu is frugal. The materials are
one pint Of white turnips cut in cubes,
one-half pint of carrots in cubes, one
pint of potatoes in cubes, one-half
pint of leeks the white part, one
large onion, one Glove of garlic, one
tablespoonful of salt, three tablespoon
fuls of butter, one teaspoonful Of
sugar, one-third teaspoonful of pep.
per and two quarts of water. Cut the
onions fine and cook them slowly
with the butter for half an hour; add
the boiling water and carrots and cook
half an hour longer. At the end of
this time add the turnips, potatoes,
seasoning, and cook an hour. If you
have parsley add a teaspoonful ten
minutes before serving. The soup is
improved if some bones or trimmings
pf meat be added.

same as for crullers. Then mix the

may be used.-Boston Cultivator.

Household Hints.

To prevent delicate fabrics tearing
when hung out in frosty weather, dis
solve three or four handfuls OF coarse
salt in the last rinsing water.
Silver may be kept constantly bright
by dissolving little whiting in the
boiling water used for washing it. All
pieces should be we'll dried and
rubbed afterwards.
To prevent rugs from slipping
about on smooth, hard floors, wet the
rugs thoroughly, and turn them right
side down until dry. A rug merchant
is authority for this.
A patent dustpan has a spring at
the back, by which it may be moved
by the foot from place to place,
thus doing away with the tiresome
stopping of the old method.
Safety matches often belle their
name, and should never be thrown
away without close examination.
Sparks fly from them, and shoulder
sometimes into disastrous blaze.
To remedy the sagging of cane
seats in chairs, turn the chair upside
down, wash the cane seat with strong
soapsuds, soak it we'll, then set it away
to dry. The seat will become quite
aat.
1t is an old truth, which will bear
being told again, that rats may be
banished by setting saucers contain
ing chloride of lime around the spots
which they haunt. The fumes are
very offensive to them.
In using pretty fowery French pa
pers for the walls of city bedrooms,
they are often found more effective
without dado or frieze. They should
run straight from ceiling to base
board, aud be finished at the top with
4 narrow molding, preferably Of wood.

Health Food Bread.

An excellent rule for the "health
food quick process bread" is this, as
Taught in the cooking schools: Add to
a pint of thin oatmeal one pint OF warm
milk. two compressed yeast cakes
dissolved in q lite warm water, two
rounded teaspoonfuls of sugar, six
level teaspoonfuls of shortening, one
rounded teaspoonful salt. Set in the
morning. adding entire wheat -four
and stirring and cutting with the back
of knife until You can't stir any
more. Cover lightly and set to raise;
when twice its bulk-which will be
usually in about two hours and half
stir and knead, divide in ioaves,
and again set to rise. When light,
bake in moderate oven three-quar.
tiers of an hour until well done.
