 General rubbish, being made up of paper, straw, rags, bottles, old iron and metal of all kinds, including tin cans, pieces of carpet, old shoes, mattresses, cast-of stockings, bar rels, brushes, twine and many other articles, too numerous to mention, has a value. All of the articles named, when rescued from the com mon pile and properly assorted, have fixed market value and are as read fly convertible into cash as are gov ernment bonds or No. ? winter wheat.
 In many cities matter of this char sacter is carefully picked over at the places of dumping by people trained in the business and who are usually employed by contractors who pay for these privileges. New York, it is said, derives an annual revenue of S50,o00 from this source alone. After the picking has been completed, the otherwise worthless rubbish remain ing may be incinerated and in this process be made. to serve as fuel for municipal lighting and heating plants.
 Garbage, proper, however, com tains, as a rule, so large percentage of moisture as to make it both diff cult and expensive to reduce it to. ashes. Besides, it is contended, that it is far too valuable to be disposed of in this way. In what it's value consists and how it is made to yield a revenue is, in itself, an interesting study; but newspaper limitations will not permit it's presentation in the present paper

DOMESTIC ODDS AND ENDS.
Cuttings from the Household Autho ities Served for the Busy
 Housewifeis Benefit

Bath bags are cheap, if they are homemade. A yard of fine cut cheese cloth will make half a dozen or more. They should be filled with bran, pow. dered orris root, and few shavings of castillo soap,
 If you want a sour cream mayor naise beat until light two eggs, one cup sour cream, two teaspoons sugar, teaspoon mustard, and one of salt. Add three tablespoons vinegar. Stir on stove in a double boiler until thick ened.
 To hide the white marble mantel piece, if it is desired to, good scheme Is to have wooden cover built to fit right over the mantel, with book shelves down each side of a fireplace, and shelf to cover the marble mantel shelf
 This makes nice bottled sauce: Re- move seeds from six green peppers, fine; put into saucepan with two dozen peeled tomatoes. eight table spoonfuls of moist sugar, three table spoonfuls of salt, and one and one-haf pints of vinegar. Set on the fire and simmer for an hour. Then let the mix ture cool before. putting into wide mouthed bottles or jars.
 For spiced berry syrup cook we'll rip ened berries in an agate or porcelain kettle on the back of the stove in as little water asw will prevent scorching; when sinmered stir with a wooden spoon and strain through flannel. To each pint of juice put one pound of granulated sugar, one-haf ounce each of cinnamon and nutmeg, one-fourth ounce each of cloves and mace. Tie spices in a thin cloth, set the stewpan or kettle in larger pan to prevent burning the syrup, and when it comes to boil remove spice bag and seal at once.
 A palatable addition to the menu of a convalescent is an sinvalid's. cutlet.'' For this take three outlets. fromS neck of mutton, trim one neatly and fix it between the other two. which should be large enough to lap it all around. Fasten the three together with string or small toothpick skew CTS, and broil, turning constantly while they are cooking. When cooked take the middle outlet out and serve with a little potato snow or some spinach, or whatever the doctor will permit. It will be found that this mid dle outlet has absorbed all the juice of the other two and is both delicate and extremely nourishing.

A DOUBTFUL WELCOME.
Having Eluded the. Watch-out the Stranger Was Invited to
 Stay While.

ssThey told me that I would find lodgings for the night with Uncle Jim Harper, whose cabin was almost on the crest Of the Cumberland noun tains, and I arrived there just before sundown, after a long uphill tramp over lonely road" said our south ern tramp, relates the Detroit Free Press. Uncle Jim was sitting on the doorstep, and after I had saluted him and asked for lodging he queried:
 ""Stranger, did any one stop ye on the trail and ax yo'r business in this neighborhood?'
 < No, no one," replied.
 :" Did any one shoot at yep
 ".No.'
 :. Nobody roll rocks down on the trail ahead of ye?'
 ...No.'
 '' That's mighty quare,' he unused, and, rising to his feet, he reached for a tin horn hanging on the door and blew loud blast. In about five min tes young man of 20, who was plainly his son, came hurrying out of the woods, and the father asked:
 Bill, what yo' been doin' with yo'r- self this afternoon?'

 :" And yo' didn't see this yere stran- ger comin' a1ong?'
 NsNo.'
 "'I'll hey to see bout yo' gwine to sleep when yo' was set to watch, said the father in tones that made Bill vince, and then turning to me as he extended his hand, he added:
