Useful Tissue Paper.

New York Tribune.
One would be surprised to know how
many uses can be made of tissue paper, an
article that abounds in most households,
as the shops employ it extensively in pack
ing delicate goods.
Probably few people have tested its
merit as a pencil mark eraser, yet it serves
the purpose admirably, and on paper of
some textures often acts more satisfac-
torily than the rubber eraser.
For cleaning and polishing glass or any
description, from the fine lens of a pair of
spectacles to the common window glass,
tissue paper is uneXcelled.

ness in many ways. 1t brightens bureau

Table Economies.
New England Farmer.

New England Farmer.
No woman can expect to cope victorious
ly with scanty dollars unless she knows
her business. She must know how to Sc
lect meats, to decide on poultry, to detect
poor fish and stale vegetables. 1t is not
enough to patronize leading and supposedly
reliable dealers. A housewife should know
that beef and mutton are the most eco
nomical meats, that pork and veal. though
toothsome, are not nOurishing, that the
latter is always costly, and that fish and
poultry are good food, but require a lar
ger quantity TO be satisfying. OF course,
no family would wish TO live wholly on
beef and mutton; but having a clear
knowledge Of the situation, the clever
housekeeper knows how to combine her
fare SO that both food and bills may be
satisfactory. Economy, as well as health,
should teach that soups which have a milk
basis are the most nourishing, and for that
reason the cheapest. Economy should also
teach that fruit and vegetables are con-
slant preservers of health, and so are
money savers; but a wife must know their
respective seasons, and not imagine that
egg plants are cheap at Christmas and
parsnips in May. On the other hand, once
the food materials are bought, they should
be so cooked that they can be eaten to the
last scrap. The cook books and press are
full of directions for making palatable
dishes and for preparation of made-over
dishes. and no one need go ignorant of
how it should be done. The simplest
dishes are the most healthful; but unless
a woman is cooking for inValids there can
safely be a blending of dishes that feed
the eve and the imagination, for we all
of us eat with our eyes and relish accord
ing TO our whims. Soups, salads, dainty
hashes. and relishes are the constant allies
of the plainest dishes will go far to supply
the lack of elaborate living.

A HousewifeIy Test.

them" said the elderly woman. mo other
room in the house is to me so sure a test of
housewifely character. So long as a draw
ing-room or parlor is not in bad taste it is
enough. Its elegance of its being fashion
able are matters regulated by the purse
alone. Even a library, so long as the books
be of good quality, is no true index of a
family. But a household stands or falls by
its dining room. It's furnishings, its APP
pointments. It's service or the lack OF all
these things-stamp the house for what IL
its and the jewellers therein for what they
are. Expense may or may not enter into
dining-room standards; daintiness, exquisite
neatness, beauty. and a larger outlay OF
money than elsewhere are Imperative. L
remember so well when / was a young ma
iron and just beginning housekeeping, how

woman whose parlor didn't appeal to me

tell you, my dear with a quiZzical glance,
"A housewife should be judged by her din

showing in her parlor; only a gehlHe-
woman of high breeding and long accus-
toned to the best traditions can keep a
dining room up to the standard 1t deserves.

The Staying-IndOors Habit.

1.-The staying-indoors habit is a very in
sidious one; the more you give way to II

The result is. that the stay-at-home victim

Very many women are kept indoors on ac-

and still Others have a dread, more or less
ill-founded, of exposure to the weather
1T pays every woman TO get out of the
house into the fresh air and sunlight: to
take a brisk. long walk. Street cars have
spoiled women; they think they must get
into a car TO ride a few blocks. The art
OF walking among city women. at least. is
rapidly becoming a lost art.
Women. too, are all the better mentally
for mingling among people, getting into
crowds. seeing new faces and new scenes
II is a great deal better for a woman to let

GROCERYMAN Acquitted.

Graf was defended by Attorney Leo NJ.
Rappaport. In attempting TO secure what
he believed would be an impartial jury the
attorney challenged thirty-fOur men and it
required all yesterday morning 90 select the
jury. In making his argument 10 the court
Mr.. Rappaport called attention TO the fact
that the grocery is small and that its pro-
prietOr is not a rich man. He said also
that its patronage comes from poor people.

main open. The nature OF the argument
probably won the case for the attorney and
his client.

the weapon to grow rusty.
Secondly. Caleb teaches US that difficulties
