virtu.s OF Saltwater Baths,

For a hand bath Ia bath give1I +
The body by use of The hands only, ol
by sponge or cloth) place a handful
of salt in basin as ordinarily flle6
for was hing. Allow the salt to dis
solve, or hasten the action by stirring
it with the hand. The water should
be as cold as you have vitality to
withstand. Use no soap. Battle the
entire body. Do not neglect the face
and neck in the free use of salt
water. This bath has an exhilarating
influence, tones the entire system,
and gives to the skin healthful con-
dition that amply repays for the time
and trouble involved. If used in the
winter it will be an excellent preyen-
tive of colds, besides being a substi-
tute for face cosmetics. No chapping,
no roughness of the skin and no clog
ging of the pores will trouble the per-
son who Systematically and regularly
takes q bath of this sort. Ordinary
table salt or rock salt will do, but
will not do so we'll. The sea-salt con-
tains medicinal properties not found
in the others. Whether one exercise
or not, the body should receive daily
hand bath of cold or cool water, espec-
tally in the summer, either upon rising
or before retiring.-Ladies' Home

HiMts For the Housewife.

Somebody has discovered that a
rough and sticky fatiron can be pol
ished by rubbing it on cedar twig.
If your gem or muffin batter doesn't
fill all the set fill the empty ones
partly full of water before setting in
the oven.
Date vinegar has recently been put
on the English market, and many
people say it is far superior to any
other vinegar.
Bread made crisp and brown by be-
ing sliced and baked in a hot oven
makes q valuable breakfast dish for
those who are inclined to corpulence.
No butter should be eaten with this
bread.
Corn bread possesses one advantage
over most hot breads. It is digesti-
BILE as we'll as palatable. Most writers
on food topics agree that yeast bread
is not as wholesome as that raised
with baking powder.
If grease is spilled upon the kitchen
floor do not pour hot water upon it,
but cover the spot with strong solu-
ton of unslacked lime and sal soda
dissolved in cold water, and scrub
vigorously with q clean scrubbing
brush.
A stubborn attack of hiccoughs will
almost invariably yield if drop of
oil of cassia (cinnamon) on O. piece of
sugar is given to the sufferer every
ten or fifteen minutes. This has been
proved effective when all other reme-
dies have failed.
Rolls from whole wheat -four are
very nice when properly made. They
are also very healthful. Fritters also
are appetizing. Make the rolls of one
pint of sweet milk, one spoonful of
shortening, one egg, two heapei tea
spoonfuls of baking powder and -four
for moderately thick botter.

amply exemplifies the fact, and is ad-
mirably suited to both dark and light
tones, although the model ispale blue
banded with ribbon of the same
shade. The skirt, which is straight,
falls in graceful folds and is finished
with a deep hem. The waist, while
simple and childish, is rendered dressy
by the bertha, which, in this instance,
is white like the guimpe, and made
of fine needlework. The lining fits
snugly and closes together with the
bodice proper at the center back. As
shown the guimpe is made of tucked
material, but any plain, white goods,
such as nainsook or Persian lawn, can
be substituted if preferred. At the
waist is a belt of the ribbon with ro-
settles made from narrower width.
To make this gown for girl of six
wears two and one-half yards of ma
terial thirty-siz inches wide will be
required.

Saw an Iceberg seventy-five Miles Long.
The presence of icebergs in the
Straits of Belle Isle has given rise to
a rumor that steamships would leave
this shorter route to travel through
the south channel only. The presence
of these icebergs at this time of the
year is indeed extraordinary.
When first navigation opens in
May, and up to the early part of July,
or the end of June at least, all ships
come through the channel south Of
the island. But in July the Strait Of
Belle Isle is usually free from the ice.
This year, however, has been an ex-
ception, and on it's inward journey the
Partisan encountered several icebergs,
one of which was over seventy-hve
miles in length. This ice was not in
the Strait proper, but we'll on it's way
to the ocean, or some 160 miles east
of Belle Isle.
Captain Brown has had many e1-
periences with icebergs. he has seen
all kinds, but none to equal the one
which met the Partisan on it's way
through the northern channel to
Montreal. This one, the captain
claimed, was seventy-five miles long.
and rose several hundred feet above
the water.-Montreal Herald.

Crumbs of Bread.

Crumbs of bread are always valuable
in breading chops and other meats for
frying, to spread over scalloped dishes,
fried meats, fish and for other pur-
poses, as we'll as for puddings and
sweet dishes.
The secret ofpreparing these crumbs
so they will keep indefinitely without
mould is to dry them so that oil mois-
ture is removed from them. Spread the
bread on O tin in the warming oven
under or above the stove, as it is loca.
ted, and after it is perfectly dry roll it
out and sift the crumbs. Roll out
those that will not go through the
sieve, and roll and sift them again un.
til there is merely handful of crumbs
in the sieve. These few coarse crumbs
are valuable for frying in butter, when
used to scatter over macsaroni, noodles
and other pastes prepared to serve
with meats. For puddings dried
crumbs should have boiling milk
poured over them, and they should
remain soaking in the milk for half
an hour or longer until the milk has
cooled, when eggs, raisins or fruit is
added and seasoning is put in. Such
puddings are excellent baked slowly
or boiled in form. For stufing the
soft crumbs inside loaf Of stale bread
aro used instead of dry crumbs. Dried
crumbs make sweeter puddings.
Toasts for use as a garnish to soup or
to serve with game or chicken should
be cut up in ornamental shapes in the
quantity while soft, dried thoroughly
and stored away in boxes for use
when required. When needed, brush
thcm over with melted butter and
brown them in the oven or fry them a
delicate brown in hot fat.

Holding q Seat In Arkansas.

Here is new way of holding your
seat on q train when you have occa-
sion to leave it. The other morning
a travelling man of this city got on the
train and was walking through look
ing for seat, when he discovered one
which to all appearances was unoccu-
pied. He went to it, and imagine his
surprise when he saw q six-shooter
calmly resting on the cushion. He
rassed on and found a seat in another
part of the car. He says that people
came in and started for that seat, but
as soon as they saw what it contained
marched on. Try it some time.-Ar-
kansas City Traveller.

How to Cook Kidneys.

In cooking kidneys it must be re-
membered that they should be cooked
either great deal or but little, the
"golden mean" in this case being out
OF the question. Kidneys are like
eggs. Cooked beyond certain point
the albumen and fbrine harden, and
then long, slow cooking is required to
bring them back to digestibility.
To prepare lamb kidney saute in
the cha6ng~dish put two tablespoon
fuls of butter it the outlet pan. When
hot add small onion minced fine,
and cook for moment or two, taking
care that it does not blacken. Then
add the kidney, cut in thin slices.
Cook five minutes, turning often.
When Drowned add one tablespoonful
of mushroom capsup and either a
tablespoonful of stock or dessert
spoonful of fluid beef dissolved in a
little cream, and serve at once on hot
plates.

Perry'a Big Guns.
Il4zaasl slESl3llEfD

Commodore Perry had not yet
electrified a grateful nation with his
immortal message, "We have met the
enemy and they are ours" While
the battle was in progress the sound
of the guns was heard at Cleveland,
about sixty miles away in a direct
line over the water. The few settlers
there were expecting the battle and
listened with intense interest. finally
the sounds ceased. They waited for
a renewal. None came; the lull was
painful. Then they knew the battle
was over; butthe result, ah! that was
the point. One old fellow who had
been lying fat with his ear to the
ground soon settled that point. Spring.
ing up he clapped his hands and
shouted: "Thank God! they are
whipped! they are whippedr'
"How do you know?" the others in
quired.
"Heard the big guns last!"

Morning Jackets.

Soft silks, soft woolens, and even
cotton crepe cloths make very attrac-
tive morning Jackets.
When expense is no object, the pet
ticoat, or skirt, and jacket of figured
or lowered silk trimmed with rutfies
of lace is delightful costume; but it
takes many yards of silk to make the
requisite number of rufies on the
skirt, and it takes great many yards
of lace to trim both jacket and skirt
according to the correct style; -conse-
quently most women find it better and
much less expensive to have simply
pretty morning jacket.
A good model is the one that fits
tight in the back, has half-ftting
lining in the front, the front of the
jacket loose from the shoulders. tied
