HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Little onions are now boiled and
served on toast. after the manner OF
asparagus. This affords a change from
the stereotyped way of serving. and will
usually be found most acceptable.
Turpentine and inseed oil in equal
parts make q good mixture for furni-
ture. For sun streaks solution, one
third sweet oil and two-thirds alcohol,
Is an excellent mixture. A soft cloth
slightly dampened with kerosene will
restore the polish.
To detach a book plate. cut a piece of
flannel the exact size of the label: dip
in cold water. wiring II out, and apply
it to the label; cover II with q clean
piece Of blotting paper. then'pass hot
iron over 1t several times, and the label
may be easily removed.
Linen will last much longer If soaked,
and then steamed or boiled without
rubbing. Let it boil about five minutes.
Rinse very thoroughly. Did you ever
notice iron-rust spots in your linen for
which you could not account? Those
were caused by the laundress who was
careless about rinsing and left the soap
in.
OF course every good housekeeper
sees that the stains are removed from
the linen before 1t goes into the wash.
# it is not convenient for you to use
lemon juice and salt to take out iron
rust spots, it may be easier to buy
lemon salts to- keep on hand for such an
emergency. The salts are somewhat
stronger than the lemon. Grass stains
will always yield to cream of tartar if
the spot is wet and we'll rubbed.
A dainty way TO prepare radishes for
the table is to- cut a. morsei off the tip
of each. leaving at the other end the
heart leaves and bit OF the stem. Cut
the skin down from the tip IN five or six
places. bending each piece slightly out

. carefully done, the radish takes on the

That night passed uneventfully, and,

some business and obtain such fresh
stores as we needed, and thence meant
to fetch straight over for Chagre.
On the morning of the fourth day
after our rescue something of a thrill

stir on deck, followed by the bawling
of voices, as though delivering com

A Startling An.wer.

A Latin professor was explaining the der
ivation of our word ''ostracise" to his class
in local academy the other day He told
the story of the early Roman republics and
the scheming of the politicians of the
times. He related how, when any man in
the republic became obnoxious to his neigh
bors, they used to write his name on an
oyster shell (Latin-ostreum, she'll, and on
the receipt of a specified number by the
eonsuls that man was banished, killed or
otherwise removed in some one of those
pleasant ways the old Romans had. When
he had finished his explanation he said:
Now, the boy here in the front seat,
what did we derive from the old Latin use
of the shell, which was called ostreum.7
The answer he expected was far from
what he got, for the little student with
spectacles in the front seat arose and de-
ivered himself thus:
From the Roman habit of using shells
to get the best of people we derive the
present Coney Island shell game, which is
a fascinating and costly sport. Brooklyn

REGARDING FOOD.

Sailed fish and meats are hard on the
stomach.
Apples not only are good, but contain
medicinal juices.
Rice forms the food of one-third of
the human race.
Oatmeal is a strong food and builds
up the muscle. 1t should be eaten to-
gether with bread.
Plums should not be touched unless
wholly ripe. and apricots are richer
than peaches.
Cheese, II partaken of sparingly, will
not hurt one. If toasted it is rendered
rather indigestible.
Butter, If eaten moderately, will not
prove hurtful. The system needs oils
and pure butter furnishes these.
Potatoes as food vary in value, ac-
cording to the way they are cooked.
Roasted they are in the best form for
eating. Peasants eat potatoes to-
gether with milk. and are correct in
principle, as the milk furnishes the ele.
