SHABBY GARMENTS.
How to Make Old Clothes Look AL
most ms Good ms New.


most ns Good ms New.
A woman of wonderful resources has
just discovered new and very sure way
of renovating and restoring to their for
mer appearance spotted, soiled or faded
cloth or serge gowns.
Pick about 20 ivy leaves, young green
ones by choice, wash them carefully
and place them in a jug or basin. Add
about one pint of boiling water, cover
up the basin or jug, and leave to soak
for two or three hours, when it will be
ready for use. Meanwhile the gar
ment must be thoroughly brushed in
side and out, and all untidy braid or
lining removed from the bottom. When
ready, spread it on the table, and care
fully sponge with ivy water. 1t must
then be hung out to dry, when it will
be found TO have recovered its former
color and to lool: quite like new.
Black silk may be cleaned in the
same manner, but it needs more care.
If the silk is in breadths it must be
lightly sponged and then tightly rolled
over n cloth wound round a roller and
left to dry.
Black lace may also be renovated
when soiled or brown with age by
sponging with ivy water, and then roll
ing over a cloth wound round roller.
1t should not be ironed.
Mix equal quantities of soft soap and
powdered starch with half the quanti-
ty of salt; make into a paste with
lemon juice. Lay this paste on each side
of the mildew stains and let the article
lie out on the grass night and day till
the stains disappear. Soaking the
clothes stained in buttermilk for con-
siderable time, then washing them in
the usual manner, and finally leaving
them to bleach all night on the grass,
is an old-fashioned country method,
which is effectual. Another is to make
paste of table salt and lemon Juice,
and lay this thickly on the spots, which
should have been previously wetted and
soaped; the linen so treated being left
in the open air to bleach for several
hours at least.
The best element in any of these
treatments is the nights bleach. In
towns, where this is impracticable, the
best thing is to make solution of equal
parts of chloride of lime and common
soda in boiling water half pound
each of the lime and soda to three
quarts of water; dip the stains into this
for few seconds till they disappear,
then rinse the article in boiling soap
suds and send to the wash as usual.
Do not let the articles stay more than n
few seconds in the solution, or il will
burn them. Whenever possible, do not
omit the night bleach. - Louisville
Courier-Jou Journal.

To cIear the Complexion.

The scrubbing-brush treatment is a
cure for those blackheads which are
the bane of womans life. Be sure you
get good face brush. Purchase a
cake of pure hygienic soap. The brush
should be used at night before going
to bed. Immerse the brush in hot wa
ter. Rub the soap over it until u good
lather rs obtained. Scrub the face
carefully-not violently, but thor
oughly. One minute should suffice for
the scrubbing process. Rinse with
warm water and again with cooler wa
ter. Dry with n soft towel. If the skin
is irritated by the unusual friction try
good cream or other emollient. The
greasy look will disappear under the
face-scrubbing brush also.-Chicago

THE HOECAkE.
Why Does the Whent Bread Crowd
Out the Corn.

Out the Corn.
Most middle-aged persons remember
well when cornbread was served upon
nearly all tables in the south and west
at least twice day. Sometimes it ap-
peared in the form of "hoecake" or
'batter bread" and again in ponies"
1t was par excellence the bread of the
negro, and every man who served in the
confederate army was also full gradu-
ate in the use of it. Now the darkies es-
chew it where wheat bread is to be OBJ
tanned, and upon the tables of thousands
of southern and western whites it
never appears at all, while others con-
tinue to use it onle for dinner.
Now, why is this? Surely cornmeal
is as it ever was. Those who sincere
ly, but probably mistakenly, believe
at'water-ground" meal is better than
the product of mills turned by steam
can always find supply of that in most
cities, and it is common enough in the
country. There is no trouble about the.
meal; but we doubt whether the art
of cooking it has been preserved. The
high~toned colored damses who are
turned out by our public schools are
not the adopts that our old Aunt Dinahs
and Aunt Peggys were. No seif-respect-
ing pan of dough would be conjured into
shape by such unskilled hands. Aud
then we may seriously doubt whether
cornbread can he cooked in a stove as
we'll as in an open fireplace.
The Indians laid their dough cakes be-
tween layers of forest leaves, or upon
the hard, ground, and cooked them in.
the hot ashes. Hence "ashcake," a
very luscious product. indeed, when one
has whetted his appetite for it by a
long days bunting.
The hoecake was so called because
it was originally baked upon a hoe
that eyer-ready. and useful instrument
of agriculture, w hich is to be found upon
every plantation. But later on cooking
utensils were manufactured which took
the place of the humble hoe. So, too,
shingles were used wbereupon to place
the dough while it went through the
process of becoming n well-done ASH
cake.-Richmond Dispatch.

used where broad sweep of sward can
slope between them, but, as rule, they
are to be avoided.
At is shown high terrace with the
usual level top. Instead of making a
high terrace to meet the fall of a high
bank, it is better to adopt the form
shown at b. This gently-sloping top
gives lower and much more attractive
side slope, and is preferable to the for
mer. Fig. c is a plan, however, that
may often be used to better advantage
than either of the other forms. This
gently rounding form for ground that
falls away suddenly is exceedingly at
tractive, especially if shrubs are plant
ed upon the curving surface. Many
make the mistake of low set terrace
of the angular pattern, when this gentle
curving of the turf would be far more
tractive.-American Gardening.

WOMAN AND HOME.
MANAGING SERVANTS.
Teach Them self-Respcct and Always
Keep Your own.

Teach Them Self-Rcspect and Always
Keep Your own.
The best rule for managing servants,
in the opinion of a writer in the Phila-
delphia Ledger, is n two-fold one, sim
pie in idea, complex enough, but still
possible to practice: Teach your serv-
ant self-respect and keep your own.
For instance, pleasant room to sleep
in, nice kitchen, with plenty of serv-
iceable cooking utensils, good brooms,
ample towels and busters, fixed duties
and regular hours; these give and keep
up self-respect in n willing handmaid,
be she cook or waitress. She learns
to call your house her home, truly,
and to take pride in her work.
On your side an even temper, pleas
ant but firm oversight of necessary
matters, systematic plan of house
keeping-all these keep up the mistress
self-respcct in dealing with her house
hold staff. AS soon as you feel that you
have been careless, or that you have
lost yossr temper in trying moment,
you realize that false position cx-
lists that endangers your self-respect-
ing relation with your maid, just as she
feels, when her room is wretched, her
tools out of order, her hours of work
irregular and her training neglected,
