A Dreadful Postscript.

In one of his campaigns Frederick the
Great of Prussia, to prevent his where
abouts from being betrayed to the enemy,
ordered all lights to be extinguished at q
certain hour. The penalty Of disobedience
was to be death. The king occasionally
passed through the camp at night to as
certain whether his order was strictly at
tended to.
One night he observed light in one OF
the tents and, entering it, found an officer
sitting at a table closing letter. Asked
how no dared thus disregard the kings
command, the officer replied that be had
been writing a letter to his wife. The
king ordered him to open his letter to
take his pen and TO add these words: BE
fore this letter reaches your hands shall
have been shot for disobeying an order of
the king
The sentence was harsh, but the crime
was great, risking as it did the lives Of
thousands. Frederick's orders were ever
afterward strictly obeyed.-Spare NO
ments.

Kitchen Hints

In making jelly it must be borne In
mind that the less string there is the
better IL stirred too much the jelly
is not clear, while the tendency of
sugar to granulate is increased by
stirring.
Two tablespoonfuls of washing soda
dissolved in a gallon of boiling water
makes an excellent disinfectant for the
Kitchen sink. Pour in while boiling
hot
A good test for the right consis-
fency of jelly when boiling is TO let It
drop from spoon. II the last drop
sticks TO the spoon il is sufficiently
hard
For canning. picking and preserv-
ing. keep supply of special cloths
and holders to use, as the stains can
not be removed.
A little kerosene mixed with the
biacking used to polish stoves before
putting away for the summer is said
10 prevent rust.
In baking cakes or gems in gem
pans. If there is not enough batter to
aill ali the little pans, put water into
abe empty ones before setting in the
oven to bake.
IL in using sour milk with soda for
sgriddle cakes or mullins the milk does
not foam as it should to produce the
desired lightness, a teaspoonful or
vinegar added to the milk will give
the desired result
An excellent and simple remedy for
q sprain is said to be found by mixing
the well-beaten whites of six eggs
with half cupful of table salt Spread
between thin muslin cloths and bind
over the sprain.
When preparing the little cucumbers
Tor picking, do not forget to add a
little horseradish root TO the vinegar
the cucumbers are put in; it helps to
retain the strength in the vinegar,
and prevents mould from coming over
The top of the liquid.

Care of the Eralashas

The ancients made an art of the cult
walton of the eyelashes. 1t was recog-
nized that, besides adding to the ex-
preston of the eyes, the lashes pre-
served them from the dust, cold. wind
and too glazing light, all of which tend
to irritate and often inhame the eye.
1t is therefore not vanity to endeavor
to obtain them and then preserve them
from falling out
A little pure vaseline applied to the
eye-lashes every night will aid their
growth and strengthen them.

A Hint in PIe-Making.

People find that, though they put
plenty of sugar into a fruit pie it is
not sweet when baked. The ordinary
zane sugar used is converted into grape
sugar when heated with any acid,
and that sugar has only about one
third the sweetening power of cane
sugar. But if a little baking powder
is added to the fruit, so as to neutra-
1ize the acid, the sugar will retain
Its sweetness in the cooking.
