Germany, the land of beer and per
sonai liberty in beer drinking, is
about to try legislation as a remedy for
drunkenness. On the first day OF jan
uary, 1900, the sixth paragraph of a
new code will go into operation in
Germany. This new law places every
habitual drunkard under an interdict
involving complete submission to the
will of duly appointed curator"
This person viii be emp 'wered to put
the person whom he res ards as dip
somaniac anywhere he. pleases, there
to undergo treatment for the malady
as long as the "curato.' pleases. And
the new code formulates a broad def
milton in declaring just what an habit
ual drunkard is. II says that the term
includes everybody who lin conse-
quence of inebriety cannot provide for
his affairs, or endrngers the safety OF
Others. "-Christian Work.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS.
A Budget of Valuable Suggestions
for the Aid of the Busy
Housewife.

The passion for old-time things has
brought into fashion the homemade
rag carpet, but there are more artistic
ways of having it woven than the ever
lasting stripe. A handsome carpet is
a solid centerpiece of maroon. The
warp should be colored the same shade
as the rags, and all may be colored at
home, if desirable for economy's sake
with diamond dyes, and to utilize both
light and dark rags a very handsome
border is made of shaded red and
orange woven in the old-fashioned
stripe. Another style is to have a very
heavy warp used twice as thick as for
ordinary carpet; color it several de-
sired shades. This produces a very
pretty checked carpet, weaving in the
rags in stripes.
No variety of greens is more valuable
than the dandelion, and when proper
ly cooked it is tender and finely fla
vored. Wash thoroughly, put into boil
ingwater and cook for one hour; drain,
cover with sailed boiling water and
cook two hours longer. Drain again,
cut up fine, season with one saltspoon
of pepper and one tablespoonful of
butter and serve with the following
sauce: Rub the yolks Of two hard
boiled eggs until smooth; add one
saltspoonful of salt, one-quarter as
much white pepper and two table
spoonfuls of thick cream. Beat thor
oughly, then gradually add one cup
full of vinegar; stir until dressing is
the consistency of cream.
Apple jelly equal to the finest ounce,
currant or crab jelly is made in the
following manner: Take apples, wipe
and slice them; use seeds, skins and
all; add sufficient water to cover and
cook until soft; strain through Il
cloth, taking care not to squeeze. To
every pint of juice allow half the juice
of a lemon and a pound of sugar. Boil
the liquid 35 minutes over quick fire
before adding the sugar. Allow all
to come to the boil again, then remove.
The pulp remaining in the cloth may
be squeezed through it, and with lem
on and sugar added in the same pro
portion as in the jelly makes most
excellent marmalade.
For mutton steak purchase two
pounds of mutton from the shoulder:
this can be had for half the price of
steaks. Have the butcher trim it care
fully and chop with two knives until
fine. Add one-fourth of pound of beef
suet chopped fine. Make into steak
to fit your broiler, and broil over
clear fire. Season when done with a
teaspOOnful of salt and a fourth as
much paprika. Place on a hot platter,
dot with butter, using tablespoonful.
Pour around it tomato sauce.
TO prevent things in the oven from
being burnt or becoming too brown,
a basin or pie dish of water should be
put on the lower shelf, 50 that the
steam can rise.
Mildew may be removed by dipping
the articles in sour buttermilk and
laying them in the sun to dry.
Never throw away beef marrow;
save it. and let it be chopped with suet
when making boiled pudding.
Cinders, if saved and wetted with a
little water, make a very hot fire for
ironing dayS.-TrOY Times

An Experiment That Failed in Texas

The failure of American rainmakers

problem was not the same as in Texas,
for instance, where out of cloudless
sky an attempt was made to extract
rain. In this section of the Alps there
are always plenty of clouds, but I'M

rain freezes and comes down in the

From The Army and Navy Gazette.
A story II General Dragomiroff which is not
without relation To the Peace Conference. is told
by the "Rasvedchik." Of 81. Petersburg: An Of
fccr urged upon him that ii was imperatiyrly
necessary for Russia to increase her forces.
He dcmurred and said that if the country could
not support an addition Of three hundred thou
sand men it was no disadvantage but rather
the reverse, for. besides an economy of 30
100000 rubes being the result. the people would
gain to the same extent Every soldier costs
double his worth. for he does not work himself
and some one has To work for him. If We go
on increasing our forces without limit reason
ruin is before us" To plunge into water in order
to escape the rain is fatuOuS.
WhereupOn the General proceeded to tell 4
story: There were three ncighbOrs Ivan, SidOr
and Peter each of whom had keeper to look
after his farm. one day ii occurred to Ivan that
if his two ncighbOrS leagucd against him he
would have poor chance. Therefore he hired
another man, which led SidOr To believe he had
some evil purpose. VINO thereupOn secured /
couple more men. and thought he could sleep in
peace. Ivan was alarmed. and Immediately
went out and hired two NOR" men for his

note of the folly what an excellent way II

size. Mir. S. Maddox insisted on my
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. l
