HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION.
Various Items That May BE of valss
e the Young House,
keeper.

Scraps of plain or puff paste trimmed
from patties or pies may be sprinkled
with grated cheese and made into
cheese straws.
The cold boiled rice left from din
ner or luncheon may be mixed with
waffles or mullins, and will make them
lighter, says the Boston Budget.
Embossed leather can be cleaned
with turpentine applied with soft
cloth. This removes the stains but
slightly stiffens the lather, which must
be made pliable again by rubbing
briskly with crude oil. Use a very
little oil and go over the piece with
one of the clean cloths upon which
no oil has been put, as care must be
taken to get all the surface grease of
to prevent soiling the clothes.
A delicious cake filing is made from
chopped figs mixed with crabapple
or apple jelly.
A novel plan for protecting dainty
silk or lawn shirtwaist is suggested
in an underwaist of very fine lawn,
made with bishop sleeves gathered
into dainty cuffs of lace or embroidery.
a small round yoke also of lace or en-
bribery and transparent choker.
This can be laundered; and the out
side waist is made more dressy by
cutting it out to meet the decollette
yoke or the underwaist.
A good cement for china and glass;
ware is made by soaking isinglass in
water until soft, then dissolve it in
proof spirits and add little resin.
Pickles should not be made in ves-
sells of brass, copper, iron or tin. Use
only porcelain or earthenware and the
very best cider or white wine vinegar.
The jars should be of stone or glass,
| and the pickles kept in q cool, dark
place, and examined at intervals. If
white specks make their appearance
in the vinegar draw it off, scald and
add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and
o few cloves. All vinegar should be
scalded before using with pickles,
otherwise it will not keep well.
When fish is rather deficient in IA
vor little vinegar rubbed over the
skin ard few sweet herbs boiled
with it will greatly improve it. For
boiling large fish should be placed
on the fire in cold water and small ones
in hot water. Both are done when the
fins pull out easily. Fish soup is the
most economical of all fish dishes.
baked fish the second best, broiled
fish retains nearly all its nourishment,
and boiled fish is the poorest of all.
The following technical terms are
used to denote different methods of
cooking fish: To dress fish la Hol-
landaise is to boil it in sea water; au

wine or vinegar, sweet herbs, soup
vegetables, lemon and white spices;

CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of
the most influential and best
known men in the State of Kansas.
Whatever he may say on any subject
will be accepted by the people as the
truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna
could not have well escaped the atten-
ton of so famous man. He not only
has heard of the remedy, but he has
used it and was relieved of an affection
of twenty-five years. standing. Peruna
is the one internal remedy that cures
chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh
wherever located. This is fact that
the people arc rapidly finding out, but
there are still a large multitude who
need to know it.
Mr.. Frank Richter, OF Winona, Mimi,
says in letter to The Peruna Medi-
cine Company:
"As q remedy for catarrh take
pleasure in recommending Peruna for
catarrh of the stomach. know what
it is to be afflicted with this awful dis
ease and consider il my duty to say a
word in behalf of the remedy which
gave me such relief. Peruna cured me,
and know it will cure anyone else who
suffers from this. disease. 1t gives me

unsurpassed.
my catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. tried many
remedies without success. 1 tried sew
eral doctors, but they were unable to
cure me. / read of Peruna in the pa
pers and five bottles cured me-"

The gastric juice is secreted by the
mucous follicles of the stomach.
When this juice is normal it digests

ing any disturbance whatever. II,

known as Indigestion. Peruna win

ject Of che hard workouts this class
of thoroughbreds are put through be-
fore they respond to the call OF the
bugle in match events of this charac-
ter. A description of the brides colors
is given in another portion of this ac-
count. Notwithstanding her evident
entertaining. she looked fit to run the
race of her life. As for the other con-
testant, he didn't look to be up to q
bruising finish.
HE seemed to the critical eye to be
decidedly high in flesh, and it looked
to be safe three to one proposition
that he wouldn't last the route. He
was nervous and fidgety on the way to
the post and didn't appear to know ex-
actly what was expected of him, which.
however. was natural enough, consid-
ering that he had never before faced
the starter. It was said, nevertheless,
that he had been trained at the barrier
on several occasions during the week,
which renders it difficult to account
for the evident reluctance with which
he pranced up to the starting post.
He wore blihkers in the shape of pair
of large gold-rimmed spectacles. 1t
may be that the music of the band sit
uated aloft had something to do with
the nervousness of the two starters,
for it was q foolish kind of music,
somewhat frivolously called the Long
Green Chorus 1t sounded pretty dis
NAL for music that possesses name
connecting it with the good old dough
of the realm.
Every eye was strained to observe
the parade to the post, and sundry and
divers whispered opinions were ex-
pressed as to the respective merits of
the all-black and the all-white entries.
The excitement of the occasion was so
intense that several elderly females
were observed and heard to weep as
if the one they'd already put their
checks on had finished back in the
bunch, among the also rams.
"The starter and his assistants were
at the post when the two entries and
their handlers came up on the rail.
Then ensued the usual slirmishing for
position, the groom showing reluc-
lance to break at the fall of the flag,
owing, no doubt, to the nervousness he
felt. They were pulled up several
times and ranged in front of the bar
rier by the starter, who had consider
able difficulty, even if the field was
small, owing to the evident lack of
knowledge on the part of the ail-black
entry as to what disposition he should
make of his feet. The all-black went
almost to his knees several times in
the lineup, but finally the flag fell
to q ragged start, with the a1l-white
a good two lengths in front.
1.-THE all-white was evidently out
with the intention of making a rum
away race of it, and she answered
every question asked of her with de-
termination and gameness. She was
still away in the lead going along the
back stretch, the all-black appearing
to sulk. Rounding the far turn, how
ever, he began to respond cleyerly to
the questions asked of him, and, slow
", but surely. he overhauled the lead

MORE GUNS FOR
LOCAL GUARDSMEN
First Requisition Made Upon the
General Government for
Equipment.

In the mail which went to the East
yesterday was the first requisltion on
the part of the local military estab-
iishment upon the general government.
The demand, which will be charged
against the appropriation for the Ter
ritorial guard. was for arms and ac-
coutrements for 100 men. It is the ex-
pectation that the arms will be of the
pattern now in use by most of the
guard, the Springfield rifle. These guns
will be used in equipping the newly
organized companies Of the guard at
Wailuku and Hilo.
The officers of the local establish
ment expect that in time the local mill
tia, in company with all the guard Of
the United States, will have the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle issued to them, but this
will take time for the manufacture OF
the arm. There will be some requiJ
lions for uniforms within short time,
and these will finish the equipment OF
the local forces.

Thomas Teachers in Pillkia.

Many of the teachers who have just
arrived are inclined to express themselves
with show of indignation over the fact
that commissary privileges are being de-
MED them. 1t was understood when they
accepted their appointments they would
have the use of this department. A pc
tition signed by all the teachers has been
presented TO the military authorities, but
as every pressure possible has already
been brought to bear by Professor At
kinson and educators here. the petition
will probably have little weight. The loss
of the expected commissary privilege will
work hardship because a number of
the teachers are married. and 1t will be
almost impossible to provide for their
families on the salary received unless
they have reduction In boarding expenses.
A number of the teachers have influential
friends In Washington and something
may be accomplished through this ave-
nue.-Manila Times.
