How to csean Refrieerator..

It is quite sufficient if the inside of
the refrigerator be thoroughly cleaned
once month With scalding water in
which a Liberal quantity of soda has
been dissolved. A large lump of char
coal should be kept in each compart-
ment, special division to be kept for
cream, milk and butter. If this system
be observed &en& care must be e1er-
cised in putting away the food to use
vessels sufficiently large that nothing
shall be spilled If. however, that
should happen, vine out at once with
q wet cloth.

HOW TO PACK TRUNKS.
Some Valuable Pointers by an Ex-
pert Packer.

Packing a trunk is one Of those
things that each and every woman is
confident she knows how to do better
than any one else, but the truth is
there are good packers and very bad
packers, though no one will own that
she packs badly.
In packing many people make the
mistake of putting the garments that
are easiest mussed on top, but an ex-
pert packer puts them at the bottom
Of the trunk, where they are held firm
~, for tight packing is the secret Of
good packing, says writer in the
Washington Star. Many persons when
packing seem to lose sight altogether
Of when and Under what circumstances
they are to do the unpacking, and yet
this is an important consideration
when comfort is taken into account.
The things that will be first needed
should Of course go into the trunk last,
such as the garments to sleep in and
the toilet articles, as the destination is
usually reached pretty late in the day.
Few persons are silly enough to carry
shoe polish or a bottle of ink in a
trunk and thus risk their whole outfit
for a trifiing convenience that may be
had even at a village shop in the far
away country no less than at any sea-
side or mountain resort to which one
may be going.
Some kind hearted country friend
may urge you to carry home in your
trunk jar of the delicious preserved
ounces that you have been enjoying
during your stay, but be sure TO forego
the pleasure Of the preserves in favor
Of your best gowns or you will rue the
day you transport it subject to the
baggage smasher's gentle handling.
Most trunks have separate cOmpart-
ments for crushable bonnets, but the
fiat hats Of this season may easily be
laid on top Of the dresses and their
bows and flowers Strengthened out if
they should get a bit pressed down.
Good travellers see to it that their
trunks have the hasps, locks and buc-
kles In good order before packing, as
that is the time to have them repaired
if needing It. They also have long,
broad strap to buckle round the trunk
as a final security against bursting
open, which carelessly packed trunks
have been known to do.

How to Play This Fascinating New
Game.


Remember always" says a writer
in the Great Round World, explaining
the principles of pingpong, that the
service must be underhand from a
point back of the table and that the
racket must be held below the waist.
After the service the racket may be
used fronl any position.
AT - start remember that the bali
; Should t.slally be sent as close to the
top OF the net as possible. 1t is better
to send it into the net for time than
to play it in such parabolas that it
will bound high and enable your OPP
ponent to smash it. Vary your serv-
ice SO that the ball will land in differ
ent parts of the opposite court at diff
ferent speeds and always endeayor to
place the ball where your opponent
will find it hardest to return it.
"By giving the racket sharp pull
upward as it strikes the ball spin
may be impaired which will make the
ball drop more rapidly than it would
otherwise. This enables q swifter
stroke and lessons the height of the
bound. By cutting under the ball it
also loses it's velocity more quickly;
but this stroke is not SO swift as the
other. Cutting the ball to one side
makes it bound in the direction oppo-
site to the cut A variety Of strokes
and cuts often proves disconcerting to
an adversary and increases his diff
Guilty in returning the ball effectively.
TN general the best ball is placed
with as much force as is safe near the
back edge of the opponents court. A
short ball Just over the net is often
useful, however, and especially when
your opponent is standing we'll back.
Play against your opponents motions
as much as you can. If he is moving
his racket or body toward one side,
try to play to the other side. If he is
moving back, play just over the net,
and vice versa. This will compel him
to change his direction and prevent
him from continuing steady motion
toward the ball"

HOT WEATHER DRINKS.
How TO Make Three Delicious Sum-
me9 Beverages.

mew Beverages.
Tea with fruits and without the adj
dition Of any liquor whatsoever can be
made into a most detachable and whole
some beverage that is at the same
time refreshing Make two quarts of
rather weak tea by pouring that guam
tity of freshly boiled water over two
heaping teaspoonfuls Of tea and let
draw for five minutes, says the Wash
ington Star. Strain and dissolve in it
a pound of lump sugar. When cool,
add the juice Of eight lemons, three or
anges peeled and cut into slices, one
small pineapple shredded, three or four
bananas thinly sliced and strawberries,
until well blended; chill with ice and
serve
A simple, wholesome drink that can
be given children ad ibitum is always
In demand during the summer months.
An excellent one can be made with
good currant Jelly that is homemade as
the main favoring. For the foundation
boil two pounds OF sugar and a quart
Of water together for five minutes;
skim thoroughly; then add the Juice Of
two lemons and large orange; strain
carefully and finally stir in a full pint
Of the best currant Jelly; continue stir
ring until the jelly is entirely dissolved;
then place on ice until very cold. At
the moment of serving add a bounti-
full supply Of Clipped ice and quart
bottle Of apoIlmaris water.
The French are noted for their deli
cate and delicious drinks. The advan-
tage of such one that is nonalcoholic
Is apparent TO every one. A favorite
Partisan recipe calls for five pounds of
raisins, five pounds of dried apples and
five gallons Of water Put all together
In small cask or large earthen jar
and let stand uncovered for three days,
stirring occasionally from the bottom.
At the end Of that time bottle, with
half teaspoonful of sugar and a
stick of cinnamon In each bottle. Cork
tightly and store in a cool place. The
fruits having fermented, the drink will
keep for considerable length Of time
and is really delicious when served Ice
cold.
