How to Make Lemon Extract.

At this season, when the juice of lem
ons is being used in SO many ways a
quantity of pure and fine lemon extract
may be cheaply made from the rinds.
Put pint of alcohol into quart glass
jar, and when you make lemonade or
use lemons in any way and only wish
the juice and pulp, peel off the thin yell
low rind, being careful not to use any
of the white, which is the bitter part,
aud put it into the alcohol and keep it
covered. Continue to add the finely
chopped lemon peel to the jar of alcohol
until there is all the lemon peel in it
that the alcohol will take up, After
two weeks add half pint of water and
shake well. The peel may then be
strained from the liquid and the extract
will be reaGy for use.

was accepted maRnanimously and ap.
parently on terms Of equality, and the
happy little brood, flanked by their own
watchful protectors, made pretty

Sound Advice.

II you have an ambition to own as
good fowls as anybody, did you ever
think how long it would take you to
attain that object by means of birds
now in your possession, which You know
are not above second or third class? II
the man who owns the first class birds
bred and reared them himself, he has
spent 8, 10 or 20 years in learning how
to do it. He has done an immense
amount Of experimenting and made
countless mistakes, but by dint of in
cessant study and tireless labor and pa.
thence he has cleared away the obsta-
Giles which so long defeated his aspira-
tions, and now presents to our admir-
ing gaze a product which we would
like to make our own, and which q
large sprinkling of us believe it is a
dead easy Job for us to obtain. But you
have got to travel over the same road
in order to reach the same results, and
however bright you may be you are not
likely to accomplish the journey In any
less time than he'has done. You must
register one failure after another, gain
ing point one year and losing it the
next, but all the while accommodating
experience, which will in the end place
you on the same footing in which this
breeder stands today. But he will not
be- idle all the years during which you
are getting your schooling. He will be
learning right along, and when you &C.

How Best TO Do IL and the Proper APP

How Best to Do IL and the Proper APP
plisnces Co Use In the Operation.
All furniture should be carefully
busted at regular set intervals, and if
treated in this way will last much
longer than that which A. allowed to
become dust clogged befoN it is busted
and is then only cursorily busted or
wiped off with damp cloth, says the
New York Tribune. A soft thick paint.
brush is good article to use in busting
out the interstices of carved furniture.
After thoroughly brushing out the
carved work wipe off the plain surface
of the wood and use q little kerosene
on another paintbrush to clean out the
dust that cannot be brushed out. Rub
off any oil left with soft cloth or thin
chamois skin. A chamois skin is better
than any cloth to dust the piano. When
the keys of this instrument have become
yellow, the best authorities advise open
ing the instrument in front of a sunny
window and allowing the sun to bleach
the keys white. While the instrument
is better for being closed at night, il
should be open at least for short time
every day.
A feather buster is an article which
should be abolished, with the mop and
several other utensils which seem to be
invented for the use Of slatternly work
ers. The bamboo whip, on the contra.
ry, like nearly all household devices re-
oeived from oriental lands, is thorough
in its work. 1t is light, and therefore
easy to WELD. 1t is not good for uphol-
stored furniture, as its blows are likely
to reduce part Of the filing to powder
and then drive it out. There is there
fore no use in beating upholstered fur
niture. Covers that can be removed as
we'll as rugs and hangings should be
beaten with bamboo Whips, but not up.
holstery. All that can be done where
the upholstery is tufted is to brush out
the tufts with stiff whisk of broom
corn or Of stiff bristles, and afterward
brush off the smooth portion of the GOV.
ering. The feather buster simply re-
moves dust from one portion Of the
room or of the furniture to another.
What should be done is to gather up the
dust, and this can be done with "a soft
cloth better than with almost anything
else. The cloth should be taken out Of
the window frequently. Only where
the dust is in crevices and cracks must
it be brushed out instead of gathered

of elegance. The richest and most ex-

these dainty and delightful accessories
of the feminine toilet. All of the new
petticoats are much founced and very
full The foundation skirt is narrow,
but immense width is given the knee
flounce which trims this foundation
skirt. Flounces are tucked, plated and
cut in vandyke points, and ruffles are
put upon rutiles. BY this means the new
dress skirts are held out without any
stiffness and the full flounce effect of
the petticoat gives delightful frou-

Potatoes For Chicks.

Young chicks are very partial TO po'
tatoes and the adult fowls also eat them
readily. Save all the small and unmar-
ketable potatoes and boil them for the
hens. 1t is not necessary to mash them,
as the hens know how to eat them with
out assistance. Turnips also make cheap
food tor poultry, especially ducks, and
will pay as a crop for feeding in that
manner. The most successful breeders
of ducks use turnips cooked and thick
ened with bran for ducklings, and they
serve as very satisfactory diet for geese
in winter, But little grain is necessary
if poultry is well supplied with cooked
foods

The great fault with most milliners,
says lie Grande Monde, is that they
weigh down their creations with super
abundant trimming and thus make the
hat top heavy in appearance as well as
in fact. True milliner's talent makes
itself manifest in the ability to allow
ali the amplitude necessary for the
trimming and at the same time keep in
mind distinct idea Of proportion, SO
that the finished hat will look well on
the head. We would advise our readers
when picking out hat to choose one
whose characteristic form is very mark
ed. This rule applies to all styles Of
hats, no matter for what purpose de-
signed. 1t is good rule, safe rule,
and has been tested by experience.
