Herbs For the Winter.

A collection of dried herbs for fiav.
Oring should be. found in every store
closet, and if they are grown in the
home garden. so much the better. A
bed containing mint, chervil, tarragon,
sage, summer savory, parsley. sweet
marjoram and even red peppers could
be managed in so prescribed a space
as a city backyard. Lavender Is grown
by country women for their linen
chests and closets. Lavender is fra.
grant only when the plant is in full
bloom and 1t should be gathered then.
Most other herbs should be picked
when they are in bud The afternoon
of a sunny day Is the best time for the
harvest, because they are then sure
to be free from dew or rain. Tie the
herbs in separate punches and inclose
them, stems upward, in paper bags.
Tie the bags closely at the mouths, so
that the stems will be included by the
strings, and the punches be suspended
in them.
Vinegars favored with the various
herbs are useful for salads and sauces.
To make tarragon vinegar. cover a
little less than a quarter of a pound
Of the leaves with quart OF vinegar
Put the mixture into a gass jar, cover
closely and stand away for two or
three weeks. The jar should be shaken
occasionally. Strain the vinegar
through thin cloth and bottle. For
chervil vinegar, a half pound of the
leaves will be needed to a quart Of
vinegar. The process of making is the
same as that for tarragon vinegar
Vinegars may be made OF celery or
mint in the same way as the tarragon

Where PRAYER Never Ceases.

There is one spot i'll the United States
where the voice of prayer is never still,
says the Methodist Magazine. For
more than twenty months the "turret
Of prayer" that surrounds the Temple
of Truth, near Lisbon Falls, Me-, has
never for an instant been without the
sound of human voice in supplication.
1t is the Intention of the people who
attend TO this remarkable form of wor
ship that prayer in the turret shall
never cease SO long as the building
shall stand Those who take part in
the service compose the Holy Ghost
and Us Society. The society affillates
with no denomination and tries to
conform strictly to the teachings Of
the Bible. Starting without n penny
1t has in few years achieved such
success that it has built four buildings

which form a rectangle capable Of seat,

NIdoMs and NIonrnIng.

The mourning of fashionable widows
does not extend over as long a period
nowadays as heretofore. Indeed. her
secluson from general society is prac.
tically over at the expiration of two
months.
Instead Of being covered with crepe
she is now permitted to wear as little
crepe as she pleases during the first
twelve months, and after that she may
discard crepe altogether if she is so
inclined. instead of wearing it nine
months longer.
Then, again, she may wear cap or
not, just as she pleases, and her veil,
instead of being crepe. may be of chif.
fon or crepe lisse from the commence.
ment of hes mourning.
After the first twelve months she
gradually llghtens her mourning TO
second mourning, instead of wearing
deep mourning for two years, as has
been the custom in the past.

A Trained Nurses Recipe.

A trained nurse prepares chopped
,eefsteak for her patients in a way that
makes the food extremely easy of d.
gestion. The meat from pound of
round or sirloin steak is carefully freed
Of fat and cut in rather small pieces to
go into the meat chopper. After few
minutes Of chopping the fine pulp that
rises during the operation Of chopplng
is removed and put aside; continue to
chop until only the fibre of the meat
remains, This pulp is pressed into
round, fiat cake, and brolled over a
very hot fire on each side for about
five minutes; it is then seasoned light.
~ with salt, a dash of cayenne, little
butter, and served very hot. If pre-
ferred, this pulp may be served almost
entirely uncooked. In that case, the
pulp should be seasoned before it is
formed into 4 cake.-New York Post

Kissing Hands Revived.

Readers of the Pail Mall Gazette
have already been informed Of the re-
viyal In England of that charming and
old world custom Of kissing hands
Positively, u league has now been
started to give form and substance to
the revival. The fair members of the
league-for, as 1t is only fit and proper,
it is exclusively wOman's league
have decreod that their masculine sub
jects, admitted to the charmed circle
of their salons, shall thereby bind
themselves to render this delicate and
graceful homage. There is a world of
significance in hand kissing. One al
most wants a guide to it, For instance,
when the admirer dellcately salutes
the finger tips of the lady fair he is
merely on the footing of an acquaint-
ance. Should he kiss the palm, that
would signify a certain degree of in
timacy, and the wrist even more SO.
The hand is thus the barometer OF the
affections. The custom is certainly
more picturesque than the handshake,
which Is an abomlnation, save as a
sign Of masculine regard. But it re-
quires a degree of grace not attain
able by all men-eyen Frenchmen.

manner, bus. owing to the size and
shape of the leaves OF the vine, rarely
succeed in doing very artistic work.
Moreover, they do not join the leaves
together by sort Of glue, as is the
custom of the birch tree beetles, but
1se instead cotton fibre, which they
gather from the buds on the vines.
Other beetles closely akin to these do
not roll leaves in this manner, and, on
the other hand, there are beetles Of
quite different families which frequent
ly make such nests. An example Of
the former kind Is the sloe tree beetle,
which lays its eggs on the fruit of this
tree, and an example Of the latter kind
Is the nut tree beetle, which also rolls
leaves into the shape of a cigar, but not
in quite the same manner as the birch
tree beetle.
The reason why it works differently
Is because it is differently constructed.
A very curious insect it is, with a red
body, very long neck and a head
which is so small that it is almost in
visible. Under these conditions it Is
naturally difficult for it to grasp a leaf
and roll it into a circular form, as the
birch tree beetle does. Still, 1t does
the work after its own fashion, and
though hardly as faultless a structure
as the birch tree beetles, very neat
piece of work it is.-New York Herald.
