A SEASONING STOCKPOT,

How to Keep the FlavOrs and Herbs
Handy.
Written for The Evening Star.
The difference between palatable and un-
palatable food is frequently a mere ques-
ton of seasoning, said woman whose
own cookery is above criticism. Nor Is
the barenness of market or garden any ex-
cuse for flavorless dishes-it is all a ques-
ton of keeping seasoned vinegars on
hand.
Now, when mint grows on every grocery
bush I get quantity Of the fresh, green
shrub for a few cents, put 1t in a quart
preserving jar, and fill the jar with good
cider vinegar. The mint market may then
rise or fall without causing me alarm.
Few people who enjoy salad Of toma-
toes know how vastly they are improved
by the addition of little thyme This
may be added in the form of the powdered
leaves spread on the tomatoes and allowed
to stand In the ice box for few hours,
if fresh thyme leaves are to be obtained
they may be thrown into a preserving bot
tie, covered with vinegar and allowed to
stand for few weeks. After the aroma
has been taken up by the vinegar it Is
best to strain 1t off, and for the purpose
of keeping the aromatic vinegar old beer
bottles, the kind that have attached rub
Der tipped corks, are very good
1t is now considered an accomplishment
either for man woman to be able to
make a good salad. The following recipe
will give favored vinegar which will in
sure good salad on short notice, even in
remote mountain camps: A quart Of vine
gar, one dozen tarragon leaves half
lemon peel, three heads Of garlic from
which the skin has been removed half
green pepper. Let it stand for ten days
and strain. using in heavy dressing in the
proportion Of three parts oil to one of
vinegar. Equal parts Of summer savory,
thyme, sage and mint will give vinegar,
a tablespoonful of which may be added to
thickened sauces to be used with roasts
Favorite seasonings for sweets can be
expressed and stored against lean oc-
caslon IN the same manner, substituting
sherry for vinegar. Bits of orange and
lemon peel from which the inner skin has
been removed, sprig of mint, cinnamon
stick, as one happens to have an extra bit
of flavor from time to time, thrown into
the jar or sherry, will give an added zest
to geiatine jelly or a flavor to punch at
a time when the housewife may be rather
short Of supplies.

TaIIOw Dips in Mexico.
From Modern Mexico.

Electric lights are coming into more gen
eral use all the time in the city Of Mex
leo as the various companies add to the
capacities Of their plants. Three companies
are now furnishing electric light and
power. An American company is prepar-
ing to erect modern gas plant. Several
gasoline lamp companies are operating in
the republic through local agents. Candles.
however, remain ia very general use
among all classes. Petroleum costs from
60 to 40 cents gallon. while tailow candles
of local manufacture can be purchased as
low as i cent each, this price naturally
for a small taper.
Mexican workme1 can get along with
less light, apparently, than any other
class. In some of the old-fashioned Of
fees of important commercial houses no
other light than tallow dips is ever known.
A bookkeeper may be seen making his en-
tries in a great ledger with the light of a
single candle, and the wealthy proprietor
may be found bending over his big ma
hogany desk fianked by two tall and state
ly candelabra. \ Mexican printer can
work with candle stuck carslessly into
one of his boxes and two tailors I'm the
small shops can be seen sharing the rays
of a single dip.
lighting apparatus In Mexico Will be great
when it can be provided cheaply and Of
simple construction. The great difficulty
experienced with most OF the gasoline lights
that are on the market here is that they
require careful attention, and in the hands
of ignorant Mexican servants they soon
get out of order.

ing thin silk or lace is made by putting
one ounce of gum arabic In wide-mouthed
bottle and covering 1t with one-half pint
of cold water. Place the bottle in kettle
of cold water over the fire until the gum
arabic is dissolved. Strsin through a piece
of cheesecloth into another large-mouthed
bottle. If this is to be used in a few days
ii needs no other treatment, but if it is to
be kept for some time add one-half pint of
alcohol.
The best eiderdown will not fade and will
bear hard and frequent cleanings If wash
ed carefully Make a suds Of lukewarm
water and the best laundry soap. Put in
the goods and ''souse' up and down, being
careful not to rub soap ON it. That causes
it to shrink and harden in spots.
Silk ribbons of any color can be safely
washed in cold suds made with the best
SOAP. After the soil is removed, rinse in
clear cold water but never wiring. The
best way to dry them Is to lay them while
wet upon a marble mantel or table, or on
a pane Of glass, and with a stiff fnger-nail
brush rub them sideways until every crease
and wrinkle and every air bubble is re-
moved. Then leave until dry.
Crepe de chine chiffon and mousselne de
sole are usually thrown away when soiled-
as most people think they cannot be
washed. This is a needless waste, how
ever. a little extra trouble suffices to
make them quite presentable. Make
strong lather of good white soap and luke
warm water and soak the material in 1t
for a few moments. Pass it gently back
and forth through the fingers until thor
oughly clean, then rinse in cold water un-
til quite clear. Dissolve quarter of tea

water, add few drops of white vinegar
and immerse the muslin. Take out into a
clean, soft towel and pat it to press the
water out. Iron with rather cool iron on

drops of the best India ink and dip in the
lace Squeeze from the fluid, put out the
edges, spread smoothly on a board covered
with a clean cloth. Lay over the lace an
other clean cloth, then another board, and
weight the whole with several flatirons un-
til quite dry.
Black lace is freshened by brushing to
remove the dust, then dipping in black cof-
fee or strong vinegar.
Black silk should first be brushed with
soft flannel, then sponged with hot strong
coffee. While still wet iron on the wrong

Cottons that have much green, mauve

hung in the shade and ironed on the side
