DOORS OF THE KITCHEN.
By the Exercise of Care and the Adop-
tiOn of VentiIator the House,
wife Can Control Them.

Odors are subtle, withal searching.
In dealing with those in the kitchen
an ounce of prevention is worth at
least ton of cure. The heavy smell
of stale grease, most clinging and
most offensive of all, comes more
than anything else from stopping or
suffering over, which very little
care in range management prevents.
The acrid smell of burnt or scorched
things is positively painful-so much
so that a cooks first lesson ought to
be that fire was given for cooking,
not burning. Leaving unwashed pots
and stewpans to dry and simmer on
the range is a fruitful source of i'll
odors easily remedied. Dissolve two
pounds of washing soda in a gallon
OF boiling water and keep a bottle
of it handy. AS you empty cooking
vessels pour in soda water an inch
deep, shake it well all around the
sides and leave until washing time.
If the pots and pans keep warm, so
much the better-the soda will do its
work more perfectly.
Onions, turnips and all the cab
bage tribe, which smell to heaven,
may have their scent somewhat
abated by little care in the boiling
The odor comes from their essential
oils, which volatilize. If the vege-
tables are prepared some hours be-
fore they are wanted and left to
soak in weak, cold water, rinsed and
put over the fire in fresh, cold wa
ter, they throw up this essential oil
largely in the form of a scum. Let
them come to a boil before putting
in the salt, and skim very clean.
After the salt is in add a dash of cold
water-it will throw up a second
scum, which must be removed at
once. Cook all such vegetables I'M
covered. A lid strengthens the odor
tenfold and makes it more offensive.
Another preventive is bread crust,
very hard and very stale. Drop it
into the water just as it strikes a
boil and let it stay ten minutes, then
skim it out. Most of the oil will
come with it; further, the spongy
crust will have kept it from vaporiz-
ing. Caulitiower not quite fresh al
ways smells tremendously. The best
thing for it is a scald in weak salt
water, boiling hot, before the cold
soaking. If the heads are big cut
them into pieces SO as to make sure
of removing every bit of discolored
curd.
Even when summer heat puts an
open fireplace out of commission, a
quick fire, as of straw, excelsior,
light shavings, even newspapers, will
set up purifying draught and help
to free the kitchen of unpleasant
odors. Failing an open fireplace the
kitchen ought to have range hood.
There are hoods and hoods-at al
most any price you choose, from the
big FURNISHED copper affairs, in the
great hotels, to the modest sheet
iron contrivance, which is an integral
part of so many among the newest

TALK ABOUT FRECKLES.
The Least Offensive of All Skin B1em-
ishes, But the Most Obstinate
to Eradicate.

The fact that freckles are the usual
penalty eXacted by nature for the
bestowal of delicate complexion in
no way compensates any daughter of
Eye for their unwelcome presence.
The poet may call them 1.-The kisses of
Apollo" but she prefers to dispense
with the attentions of the sun god.
Probably the least offensive and dis
figuring of all skin blemishes, they
are the most obstinate to remove.
Dermatologists have tried in vain to
compound a remedy which should be
permanent cure. 1t has yet to be
found. True, they may be faded, even
removed in many cases, after persist
ent treatment, but with the advent of
the warm spring days and summer
winds they are very apt to reappear.
The summer girl inclined to freckle
who yet justly refuses to be housed
when sun, sky and sea WOO her, has
on hand perpetual problem.
Freckles are divided into two classes,
cold or constitutional freckles, and
summer or light freckles. The latter
fade gradually, or yield for time, at
least, to mild lotions. The former re-
quire almost heroic treatment, which
then frequently brings disappoint-
ment. 1t is impossible truthfully to
guarantee" a freckle cure. The very
situation of the freckle-below the
surface-offers an obstacle. One diff
ficulty in the WY of their removal lies
in the wide difference in the texture
of different skins. A freckle lotion
that will have no effect upon ones COM
plexion will irritate and blister that of
another.
The chief ingredient which enters
into many freckle lotions is acid. An
acid will bleach the spots when it
reaches them. 1t must usually have
something to draw them nearer to the
surface. Ordinary massage of the
face will do this gradually, and, by
promoting the activity of the skin,
in a manner prevent the small deposits
of iron. Good facial circula ton is a
foe to most facial blemishes. The com
monest acid and the most effective is
lemon juice. pure or diluted, as the skin
dictates.-Ledger Mop.hly.

HANGING WORK BAG.
a Great Convenience for n Small Sit
ting Room when Every Inch
of Space Counts.

This work bag was devised for use
in small sitting-room, where space
was precious. Hung low enough to
be within easy reach of the seam
stress chair, it can be swung wide
open for use, or the cord drawn up
and slipped over the nail, instantly
closing it.
For the foundation cut a piece of
dress canvas 1914 inches long by 10
inches wide. Cover with silk and
paint or embroider a spray of flow
ers on the front. Cover inside with
silesia of a contrasting shade, and
run a featherbone across each end.

STEPPED UP, NOT DOWN.
negie Teaches n Lesson Which
No Boy should Ever Forget.

When Andrew Carnegie was ten.
years old he left his native SCOTCH
town of Dumferline and came aloneI
to America. Reaching New York with
one sovereign in his pocket he walked
the streets for days trying to get
work, and at last went to Pittsburgh,
where he found chance to fire a small
stationary engine in factory cellar.
What do you suppose he thought
about, down in that cellar? About the
libraries he was going to give away
or the gifts to universities he intend
ed to make one of these fine days.
My idea, says writer in the Little
Chronicle, is that he thought about
firing that engine and did it with all
his might until working hours were
over. Then he went out and studied

pieces of silk nine inches wide across

inches in diameter. Line with sile-

the machine.
Set four pockets across back,
slightly fulled, the top drawn with
an elastic cord; below them stitch
three pinked flannel leaves for
needles. Fasten two cloak hooks
close together at top, on which to
hang scissors. With colored tidy
cotton crochet strip in open chain
stitch two inches wide by ten inches
long; sew this along it's longer edge
across front side of bag, halfway up,
and run several divisions. Each di-
vision forms pocket for a spool of
thread; put end of thread through
meshes and a length can be taken off
without removing the spool. Make a
long, narrow pin cushion and stuff
thinIy with curled hair; fasten just
above spool pockets.
Leave upper part of front plain,
so it will close fat. Sew small brass
rings along upper edge of sides and
at each upper corner. Run one and
one-half yards of picture cord
through all the rings, slipping on an
extra ring at back and front and join.

tack cord securely to rings at two back
corners. Hang up and try if front and
back cords are of equal length when
bag is closed; if not, lengthen or
shorten back cord. - Orange Judd

the geography of the Smoky city, and
it wasn't very long before he knew
it well enough so that he could move
up out of the cellar into a telegraph
office. Only a messenger boy, to be
sure, but he could hardly have been
the lazy kind we generally read about
or the manager would not have taken,
fancy to him and begun to teach
him telegraphy within month.
That was about As years ago and
the dingy little Office where he was
working at two dollars and half a.
week belonged to the Atlantic & Ohio
Telegraph company. Andrew Carne-i
gle spent all his spare time in prac-
ticing telegraphy, and when he couldI
do as well as the operator at the key
(Which was surprisingly soon, by the
way) he took place in the telegraph
service of the Pennsylvania railroad,
then a comparatively humble SYSTEM
boasting only single track lines.
Here he suggested a method of train
dispatching that increased the ca
pacity of the road and shortly after
this Thomas A. Scott, whose remark
able career in railroad management
was just beginning, took notice of that
bright young operator and made him
his private secretary. When Mr.. Scott
was promoted to his vice presidency
of the Pennsylvania road, CarnegiAe
became division superintendent. y
Some of his savings were success
fully invested in oil lands and in the
70 of ~ ell
now he began to accumulate money.
The next door that opened to him, or
rather that he opened by being boy
who did, was the opportunity to estab-
lish the steel works to which Edgar
Thompson, then president of the Penn
sylvania, gave his name and much of
the capital. Carnegie's ability showed
itself at once in building up the man.
moth industry which finally became
the largest enterprise of its kind in
the world. The great factories found.
ed by him, or founded by others and
absorbed by him, are scattered
through the district of which Pitts
burgh is the center and were all finally
united under the one corporate own
ership, the Carnegie Steel company.
which Mr.. Carnegie has recently sold
to the great combination known as
the United States Steel company. Dur
ing his active years his profits rolled
up at a rate that no manufacturer ever
equaled before. His business was not
only splendidly managed, but was aid
ed by great natural advantages as well
as all the forces of invention. To-day
&c is multimillionaire, retired from
business, and scarcely a month passes
without the announcement of a mag
nificent gift offered some good cause
by Andrew Carnegie. He has hand
some house in New York, although of
late years he has spent most of his
time at his beautiful castle in Scot
land, and his own key to the problems
he has met through life is engraved
above the mantel of his library:
He that cannot reason is fool.
He that will not bigot,
He then does not slave"

The GREATEST GIEr.

One man would give his soul for wealth
And one Graves manly grace;
One sighs for strength and perfect health
One for a handsome face;
One longs to have She gift of song.
And one would hear the cheers
OF people as he strides along;
But oh that l might be as he
That puffs himself up foolishly,
Surprising all men stop to see
How splendid he appears.
One risks his life pursuing fame,
One burns the midnight oil
To make his name a deathless name,
And one for love may toll;
One tries to be supreme in art
And one wastes precious years
For power in the busy mart
But none has gladness such as he
Has in his heart who blissfully
Boasts of himself and cannot see
How foolish he appears.

The Weather.-Up to this time, we
have had little or no cold weather, though
we have had 1t cool and every other way too
warm. The first fall of snow, OF any con-
siderable quantity, occurred on Thursday
afternoon and night, and on Friday morning
we were wrapped in a mantle of snow to a
depth of a few inches. The ground was
very wet and consequently the depth was
much diminished.

prosper and flourish, especially # the snow
shall last for a few weeks. The spread is
