A HELPFUL CORNER.
To Keep Lemons Fresh.

Some time since | saw directions Tor
keeping lemons Indefinitely, and think
it valuable enough for the Wisconsin
Horticulturist, writes a contributor to
that publication. 1t was simply to put
them under an inverted goblet. On
July ~, 1895, put two lemons in sepa-
rate glass jars. One was jar intend
ed for jelly and had glass cover that
set loosely on top. The other was jar
with a ground glass stopper The
former was kept in the pantry opening
out of the kitchen, and the latter i'm a
cupboard in the dining room. They
were examined from time to time and
up to December seemed to keep equal

froze and soon after showed signs of

one was cut open and proved to be as
fresh as to appearance, OdOr and

Sandwiches for Picnics.

THE picnic season has again arrived
and as it is sometimes difficult to de-
eide what kind of sandwiches to pro-
vide for the lunch we give the follow
ing suggestions taken from an eX-
change which may be help to some:
For nut sandwiches almonds, pea
nuts. English WalnuJs or the prepared
peanut butter may be used. If the
nuts. chop rather fine and stir into
mayonnaise dressing or mix with
cream cheese.
Olive ndWidhes.-StOne and chop
olives-the large Queen olives are best.
Stir into mayonnaise dressing, and
spread on thin slices of graham bread

cred in Roman floss.
A low, broad lounge, several sustain
tial and comfortable easy chairs, with
the addition of a few fOOtstools Op
hassocks, should complete the furnish
ing of this most delightful nest.
An open fire place should always, if
possible, form part of the family sit

fires should he lighter at the approach

tie until like custard, then add the
whipped whites of two eggs and re-
move from the fire When cold enough

Things Worth Knowing.

After the housekeeping is done,
make "a dresser set like one the design
of which came over the water. 1t con-
sisted of three pieces. The larger,
having a founda ton of white silk of
heavy weight, was fourteen 10y seven
inches, and hemmed with as narrow a
hem as could be folded. Around this
and overlapping each other half way.
were half circles of netting, pale pink
Boston art silk being used. The outer
edges were tipped with pale blue in
the same grade of silk This was done
afterwards With a needle. The other
pieces were made in the same way,
but were only seven by three and one
half inches. This set was designed to
be used on a dresser without any cov-
erfng.
Something new and very pretty in
cushions is worthy of imitation. The
cushion was covered with white bro
caded silk. 1t was heavy, had cotton
back and cost about forty cents a
yard it will wear we'll. The design
was in roses, and the outer edges of
the leaves had been picked out with
two shades of pale yellow Asiatic flo.
After the cushion was made up -four
pieces of lace, crocheted from Victoria
knitting silk in darker shade of vel
low, were frilled around each corner
and the ends gathered UP to the sides
of the cushion. The lace was of an
open pattern and six inches wide. 1t
made a pretty finish.
A pretty handkerchief was made
from linen lawn having a tiny bar
through it. 1t was hemstitdhed with
a very narrow hem and a TOW of tat
ting on the edge, was made of white
Asiatic flo, in a very narrow pattern
[ asked if it would not be spoiled by
growing yellow with the laundering
that a handkerchief would require, but
[ was assured that that only enhanced
ed it's beauty, and another was shown
me, in proof of that assertion, which
had been laundered "a number Of
times; the creamy Shade of the atting

The Sitting Room.

The sitting room should he one Of
the most enjoyable rooms in the house.
1t should always (have bright and
cheerful appearance, and anything ap-
prOaidlping stiffness or Formally should
be baniShed. 1t is essentially the liv-
ing room of the home, and for this rea-
son, every article of furniture should
be selected with a view to utility and
durability. Luxurious divans, costly
draperies and lbric-a-brac would be
quite out of place in such a room, in
deed; in it there should not be one
really expensive or perishable ARTICLE,
it being a most restful and inviting
place at very little expense.
The carpet should not cover the en-
tire floor. A large rug of some warm,
coy shades should he placed upon the
floor, the edges of which are stained
or painted, thus enabling it, the rug,
to he frequently and easily removed
and shaken i'm order to insure cleanli
ness The walls should be tinted or
covered with cheerful docking paper,
halmonzing with the carpet and other
furnishings, a few pictures and a
rack or two being appropriate addi
lions.
The curtains and portieres Should
also be in harmony, being composed of
serge, felt or the ever useful denim.
A center table is a necessary adjunct
in order to give an attractive and
home-like appearance to the room and
this should he covered by means of a
felt or denim cloth, upon which Should
rest papers, magazines, work-baskets
and a lamp, with it's softly shaded
evening light, inviting workers and
readers.
Soft crimson shades are perhaps the
most suitable for decOra ting such a
room, but old blue is also very lovely
and serviceable, the former looking at
it's best during the winter months,
while the latter is most attractive in
THE summer time. If the crimson
shades are employed throughout, they
should be relieved by touches of gold,
but if old blue is used, it Should be re-
Iieved 10y lighter shades of blue For
instance, the table cover could be
made of crimson felt and this could he
decorated by a bold. conventional de-
sign worked in two or three shades of
yellow Roman floss, or the coarser and
more effective rope silk: or it could be
made of dark blue denim, embroidered
in the deep shades of flo silk floss
The curtains could also be decora ted

alaska GOLD OUTPUT.
Statement of Amount Handled by u
Government Assayer.


The Great Northern has received the
following communication from F. A.
Wing, assayer in charge of the govern
ment office at Seattle, concerning the
gold output in Alaska for 1900.
This Office was opened on July Is, 1898.
Since that date there have been 8,2OS sep
arate individual deposits of bullion, ag-
gregating $1S,5O5,O0O one third of which
was received during the first fiscal year
ended June 80, 1899; the balance since that
time.
The comparative average values per
ounce of Klondike and Cape Nome gold
are as follows: $3.50 per ounce, Klon-
dixie: $3.50 per ounce, Cape Nome.
In my judgment the output for 1900 will
easily double that of 1899. In my prepara-
tons for next season I am anticipating
at least $40. 900, 900 for this office alone, on
a basis of $50, 100000 as the entire output
of Alaska and the Northwest territory
z IL indications lead me to believe that
Cape Nome and it's immediate vicinity
will equal the Klondike in amount of
production
