Cnre of tho Conee Pot.

An actual experience, and a testing
of the daily coffee pot by the mistress
will sometimes reveal the fact that It
has not been cleaned in a manner to
insure good coffee.
In many Kitchens is the remnant of
the morning coffee left on the back of
the range for a mid-forenoon cup for
the cook, when not only the rank
flavor is extracted from the long
stepped grounds, but a certain deposit
Is made upon the sides OF the pot
which adheres with great pertnaclty,
and which only most careful wash.
ing will remove. This deposit, il left
on, will surely taint the coffee that is
subsequently made in the pot, and
even to a taste not over critical will
injure the flavor Of the best coffee in
the world. The cook is proverbially
sensitive with regard to the washing
Of the coffee pot, insisting that it is
clean when it is not and it sometimes
requires not little diplomacy to eff.
feet the cleansing of the coffee pot
and preserve the sweetness of the
cooks temper at the same time. The
reward will be a much better cup of

Nursery Notes.

The child's tendencies should be
carefully watched, and everything in
him which apears vicious or unpleas
ant should be nipped in the bud.
II child is careless of his toys, and
breaks and defaces them, the proper
punishment is to take them away from
him, and say he cannot have them for
a certain period Of time, and then give
them to him when he promises to take
care Of them.
1t is very bad policy to be contin.
ually buying new toys for child, who
is destructive and disobedient; these
are not qualities to be encouraged by
frequent rewards of gifts.
If child is cruel and domineering
to its little associates, it should be
sternly reproved and taught to behave
gently and kindly Boys should be
especially taught to be tender and
chivalrous to all girls, and particularly
to their sisters.
Children who treat their pets roughly
and cruelty should be deprived Of them.
No right-minded person places a little
helpless dumb creature in the complete
power of young children who are cruel
through ignorance or through a vicious
nature, The treatment of pets should
be watched by the mothers Of children
having them.

The eating Of "hlgh" game is un.
doubtedly attended with risks, and the
poisonous effects are probably due to
the toxins produced in the earlier
stages OF putrefactiye process. The
advantage, Of course, Of hanging game
is that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
1t is quite fresh The ripening pro-
cess, however, may mean the elabor-
alton Of toxins. 1t is a curious fact
that game can be made to look ripe"

flesh potassium sulphide.-Lancet

"A restaurant for concentrated food
is to be started in Paris by an enter
prising French chef. The happy diner
will enjoy a menu of tabloids. His
entire meal will occupy only a cubic
inch or two. The fault found with
such concentrated food hitherto has
been that it is not fitted for the stom-
ach of man as he is constituted, since
it lacks the quality of bulk, which
seems to be one essential of food. A
horse will not do well on a diet Of
grain; he needs some hay or other for
age to dilute the stronger elements.

A feature of the postal system in the
United Kingdom, which has not yet

9O,415,123 in 1900, an increase of about
80 per cent. in the decade and a half.

Give the baby and each child a bed
to himself. Two single beds take but
little, If any, more room than one large
bed. Have the sleeping room furn.
ished with only necessary furniture,
See that the clothing of the little
sleeper is loose at the waist, neck and
arms, and keep the head uncovered.
II there is anything young children
cannot do without it is fresh air.
Through the pores Of the skin the body
is continually throwing off poisonous
Vapors. If the head is covered with
the bed clothes the unfortunate in.
fant will be breathing bad air. The
average child suffers from overfeeding
and overdressing. Let him learn to be
a trlhe hungry. Do not take him for
an oyster or a clam, ana keep him In
stew all the time. Half the time the
child cries he wants fresh air or fresh
