Daily Hints tor the Table.

A good chocolate icing that will shine
like mirror may be made from the
following directions.
"Put five ounces of granulated sugar
in saucepan with five ounces of grated
chocolate and gill of water Stand
the saucepan in larger pan Of boiling
water until the sugar is all melted, then
lift the pan out of the water and stand
it over a slow fire and let it boil until it
is thick enough to drop into fine
threads from a spoon from which lit
tie is poured While the icing is boil
ing, beat the white of one egg to a
stiff broth. When the mixture is done
and has cooled little, gradually pour
it into the beaten white of the egg,
stirring it briskly all of the time until
the icing is perfectly smooth, then ap-
ply it to the cake. Stand it in the cake
oven moment after the icing is on.
Then put it in cold place.

titude of women are afflicted with ca
tarrh of the pelvic organs.
When it is said, therefore, that Pc
ru-na cures catarrh wherever located,
much larger fact is stated than at
first appears. Who is it that says Pc
ru-na will cure catarrh wherever loca-
ted? Doctors say it, lawyers say it,
preachers say it, a vast army of men
and women say it, who have tried it.
The old and the young say it. They
say it in the East and in the West; they
say it in the North and the South. All
these say that Pe-ru-na will cure catar-
rh wherever located.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Calicoes should be washed in clean
water, dried in the shade, aud turned
on the wrong side to dry.
Red tablecloths keep their color if a
little borax is added to the riuse water
and they are dried in the shade.
Dish towels aud common towels can
be ironsd just as we'll in half the tins
if folded together once as if iron ed
singly.
Pillow slips should be ironed length
wise instead of crosswise, if one wishes
to iron wrinkles out instead of in.
Clothes when brought in should be
separated and folded at once; il allow
ed to lie together, many wrinkles aeou-
mulats.

in triumph, though no captive adorned
the floral car of the monarch, no prince
led in chains of steel to grace the sold

of those battles of the Mexican war
were Jefferson Davis and Robert 4.
Lee, two gallant warriors of whom we
shall presently speak. With the close
of the Mexican conflicts the banners of
the American Republic were undis-
turbed by the foreign powers. The
history of our country from 1874 to
1860 shows that the patriotism of the

ments, by which the country grew in
power and in wealth, until it became
the wonder of the nineteenth century.
History must sustain the South in the
claim that all the territory brought into
the United States has been by gift from
the Southern States, or acquired by
Southern policy, and that every state
in the Union has been carved out of
that territory, with two exceptions
Vermont and Maine. 1t is historical
fact thatevery foot of territory secured
to the United States, after the treaty
with England on the close of the Revo-
lutionary war, was signed by Southern
Presidents, except that known as the
Gadsden treaty. Old Virginia passed

WHEN FRAMING FICTURS
A Few Useful Rules to Produce Artistic
Results.

Results.
How many times have we not been in
house where the pictures on the walls
offended every artistic sense, not 30
much in themselves as because of their
horrible framing? The frame for an oil
painting can rarely be two rich or Or
nate, because the color in the picture
is sufficient to dominate, but an etching
or any black and white work is killed
by being surrounded with brilliance.
The frame should not be considered in
itself, but simply an adjunct of the
picture.
An etching must lie perfectly fiat,
neither touching the glass in front nor
the board in the back. The mat should
be perfectly cut and the frame, if
wood, should join so that the finish
of the wood covers the meeting place
of the pieces. ......
Either bronze or gold frame, if mar,
row, will look we'll on an etching, but
most persons prefer the dark woods.
White and gold combinations are pret-
ty for dainty pictures of gay characters,
and the ivory white frames, which are
also favorites, look we'll against any
wall except white one. Of the wood
frame those of oak, cherry and holly
are best.
Landscapes look best in simple, mar
row frames; figure pictures can stand
more elaborate settings. A single head,
however, looks best in a broad, rick
frame.
For water color one should steer a
clear course between the richness suita-
BILE for painting in oils and the sim
plioity due an etching. The matt can
either be of gold or of white.
Any picture, except an oil, should be
hung fiat against the wall and not tip
ping.

Hints for Thin Women.

1t takes time to get fat, just as it
takes time to grow thin. The candi-
date for added flesh should get all the
sleep possible from nine to ten hours.
In addition, nap in the middle of the
day will help. While mapping no stays,
tight shoes or bands must be worn. If
one can not sleep one should lie down
in darkened room at least thirty
minutes instead. In the morning a
cold plunge, or, at least, a cold sponge,
must be taken, dashing the water on
the shoulders, neck and collarbone,
drying with a Turkish towel and avoid
ing heavy clothing. A thin woman
should avoid cumbersome wraps, heavy
weight dress goods and Innings, accord
ing to writer in the Boston Transcript.
She should not tire herself bicycling
and she should have plenty of fresh
air. Diet deserves a consideration.
For some drinking malt liquors is a
great help, but many can not stand it.
A diet with an eye to acquiring flesh
should consist of liquids-milk, water,
but not coffee and tea; no hot breads,
plenty of butter and cheese and good
cocoa. The very thin woman should
have five meals day, should eat mar
malade and plenty of warm milk is
drank before retiring, it is in itself al
most sure cure. Above all, eat slow
ly and never exercise until half an hour
after meals.
