1t is great annoyance to any one

All housekeepers should know tho
value for household purposes Of pow

Morning headaches may frequently
be avoided by having the bedroom
properly and thoroughly ventilated.
Irons should never be allowed to
remain over the relonger than is nee
essary, but should be put at once in o
cool place free from dust and smoke.
Red pepper tea is very good for car
pet pests. If the floor is washed in a
solution of one-quarter of a pound of
red pepper to one gallon of water it
will do much to drive them away.
Colors that have been taken out can
be sometimes restored by sponging
with weak vinegar. If the color has
been taken out by an alkali, sponging
with chloroform is often effective.

In England, in the reign of Henry

Huckleberry Pie,

Make good plain crust with half q
pound of flour, quarter of q pound OF
lard, level teaspoonful Of salt, and
Ice water enough to mix together.
Have oil your materials MS cold as pos
sible, sift the -four into bowl, add
the lard and salt and chop it with q
knife. When thoroughly mixed,
moisten with tho water, little at o
time. Take the dough out on a
Toured board, cut it in two pieces and
roll out one of them for the bottom
crust. Line your plate with the crust,
dip small fve-cent paint brush,
which is kept for that purpose, in the
white of an egg, and brush the crust
all over. This will keep tho juice Of
the berries from soaking into the crust.
Put in your huckleberries, one pint,
and small piece of butter and q
quarter OF cup of sugar, cover with
the top crust and bake in very quick
oven. When rolling out the top crust,
cut hole in the middle of it 80 that
the steam may escape, or the juice will
run out of the pie into the oven. For
o plain family pie, tuck the top crust
under the bottom all around the edge,
and press them together with the
thumb, and this prevents the Juice
from escaping. All fruit pies should
be eaten the day they are baked, or the
under crust will be heavy.

piotnre ON a Grain I'D Corn,

Probably the smallest piece of paint
ing in the world is that executed by a
Flemish artist. 1t is painted on the
smooth side Of grain Of common
white corn, and pictures mill and o
miller mounting stair with sack Of
grain on his back. The mill is repre-
sented as standing on terrace and
near it is horse and cart, while a
group Of several peasants is shown in
the road near by. The picture is
beautifully distinct, every object be-
ing finished with microscopic fidelity,
yet by careful measurement it is
shown that the whole painting does
not cover surface Of half an inch

AuanfnI Ant-rnter

When o horde Of yellow caterpfllars
infested the linden trees at the Zoologi-
cal Gardens last week, Head Keeper
Manley, who is in charge during the
absence Of Superintendent Brown, was
sadly puzzled for way to get rid OF
the pests. Poisonous sprinkling mix
lures, tar and coal oil were applied to
the trees, but the results fell far short
of what had been hoped The cater
pillars fourished in spite Of all, and
seemed to increase in numbers. Then
the ingenious head keeper had happy
idea. He took the South American
aut-eater from its cage, aud, securing
it with a collar and q long cord, started
it up one Of the trees. The way the
creature laid about with its long sticky
tongue, scooping in caterpillars by the
dozen, more than realized Manley's
greatest expectations. It took to
them with as much relish as though
they were'its natural food, and in the
course of half an hour completely
cleaned the tree. Manley put the ant
eater up another tree and it ate until
it was gorged. Since then it has been
turned out three times day, and so
great have been it's industry and appe-
tite that the caterpilEs are nearly
exterminated. Philadelphia Record.

not quick enough to escape the animal

could get out of the way. The whale
was killed and brought alongside OF
the vessel to remove the blubber. which
operation took a day and half before

old son, Robert.
Mr.. August was off his guard and
unarmed when he entered the en-
closure, and the bull charged him
without warning. He lodged sue
cessfully once or twice, but there was
neither time nor opportunity for
escape.
Twice he was tossed on the horns
Of the animal. His clothes were torn
and his body was injured, and he was
already sinking from exhaustion. At
this iuncture the son appeared, and,
quickly arming himself with pitch
fork, began q combat with the bull.
At the first thrust the animal merely
lashed his tail with fresh fury, and
rushed again. The boy struck home.
The bull finally turned upon his young
assailant. The boy struck the animal
sharp blow across the nose. The
bull hesitated.
With renewed anger the bull low
cred his head for another lunge, and
once more the prongs Of the pitchfork
pricked his neck. Again he paused
and stared in apparent amazement at
the little fellow who was meanwhile
shouting words Of encouragement to
his father. One more blow in the face
and the bull stepped backward. Fol-
lowing up his advantage the boy soon
had him retreating sufficiently to al
low the father to crawl out Of harms
way. Then, with his eye still on the
bull, which was preparing to renew
the fight, he nimbly lodged the next
rush and escaped.
