A Harmless Acid.
Apropos Of the vexed question Ct ad-
hitting American meats into Germany
German chemists have themselves report
ed that. boracic acid is quite harmless.
and the sinister word "acid" need not
deter any careful person from using IT,.
OF course. in preparing raw vegetaoles
it is all rinsed off again. but as it is
very. volatile, it would escape IN process
of boiling anyway. Therefore, it may be
used with absolute impunity. Radishes
make delicious dish when boiled. and
one which may be INDUCED In by per.
sons who are quite unable to digest them
raw. Boil until tender in barely enough
sailed water to cover them. Then take
off the saucepan lid and let the water DOH
down about half; add as much milk as
there is water Rub together: table.

= This is a favorite Swiss dish. and those
who don't know it have something to look
forward to. An excellent way Of pre-.
pairing it is to quarter the heads. wash
very carefully and put In double boiler
with enough milk to cover it. Let this
steam until the lettuce is tender. add a
dash of pepper, a tablespoonful of butter.
Let it stand till the butter is melted and
serve. x
The French make a delicious dish by
boiling young, tender peas in a little wa
ter adding tablespoonful Of butter. A
head Of fresh. clean lettuce is set in with
the peas and allowed to steam thoroughly
until tender. The lettuce is then removed
to a heated platter. little milk added t.
the peas mixed with a teaspoontul Of
flour. When this comes to the boiling
point the thickened peas are poured over
and around the lettuce and served.

CTS. Linen embroideries, fflet guipures, or the daintiest of ribbons of gauge like persuasion, go to their adornment, than which no one could desire any thing better.
 With the bolero, the last word has been said as to the make of bodice; it is here, there and everywhere in one form or another. Usually we find it as a very short plaited sack, reveal ing a plisse blouse underneath, but this is made all trim at the waist by a high directoire belt. .....-

The Fad For Linen.

Linen gowns are promised as fash ionable wear this season for hot weath- CT. They are embroidered in relief with coarse white thread and trimmed with lace. The three godet hounces are favorite style for the skirts ex- tending from waist to hem. Irish crochet is another fitting accompani- ment. Linens will wash, so this point has to be considered in arranging the make of these gowns, and no style should be chosen that would be spoiled by ironing. Some of the thinner makes have the skirt corded with coarse cord horizontally, and it is so arranged that the cords can be drawn straight for the cleansing process and rucked when re arranged by the simple plan of not cut ting the cords.

''I PUT HIM TO SLEEP IN ONE ROUND" days, and have no doubt that she shed copious tears and was heartbro- ken when I got into my coat and made for the highway.
 "Poor old gal! felt sorry for her; but, meeting a tin peddler mile away, posted him up on the knight business, and he said he would stop at the house and work up good thing.
 "The winter of that same year brought me another romance. I was viewing the frosty scenery between two Rhode Island towns when two tramps ahead of me turned into a farmhouse. I turned in also as I came up, and I walked into the kitchen just as they had locked a girl up in a closet and were about to go through the house. They invited me to take hand in. took two hands in. They made it interesting for me for three or four minutes, but Weary Willie is no boxer He depends upon wild swings instead of straight punches. I had lem both down when the farmer came up from the woods, and we let his daughter out and sent the fellows off to jail.
 Seek No Further apples and mince pies were none too good for me for the next week. The daughter was a school ma'am about twenty years of age, and had won her heart ere three days had passed. The old man thought I lacked weight to hold a blow in stony ground, but I guess he would have sanctioned the match out of gratitude. 4o T. cured the blisters on my heels with mutton tallow I went out to split some wood one evening and forgot to return to the house.
 Another case happened two years ago, and this time it was a widow As l logged along a dusty highway in Ohio got cotton in my throat and called at farmhouse for a drink. I saw no one about and went to the we'll to help myself from the old oaken bucket. Some one cried out to me from the bottom of the we'll, and, be- hold, let down the bucket to draw Up woman! It was the widow who owned the farm, and she had been down there a couple of hours.

She had been expecting one along ever since her husband fell from the top of his windmill and was killed, and her heart was mine before she had changed her ice cold draperies.

ana before winter set in. Aside from my own feelings in the matter, there was the hired man to be consulted He threw out hints that was no more of knight than he was a Hubbard squash, and he finally became so plain spoken that I had to leave him sleep under the currant bushes as I pursued my adventurous way
 "Oh, yes; we've got electric street cars, wireless telegrams, self acting washboards and patent pancakes, and we are looking for automatic nursegirls and double jointed refrigerators, but don't you bet that all the romance of life has died out. There's heaps of it lying around loose, and Chevalier Tom noddy has only got to appear at just the right moment to wake it up."

 ''The brother came up from the corn field by and by, and one glance told me that he ran to pork and beans instead of romance. After the sister talked to him in private he invited me to tarry for day or two and rest my lordly tiredness, but I didn't like his looks. His demeanor toward my lord' smacked of a put up job. He invited me out to the barn to inspect colt he had just bought, and we had hardly entered the building when he turned on me with:
 "'Now, then, you durned old tramp, but Pm goin' to thump Texas out of you

 "'Because of my fool sister. You are no more of a lord or duke than my old white faced OK
 ''With that he tackled me-" said the c. o. D. man, ''but I had a surprise party awaiting him. He was lusty of limb and broad in the back, but put him to sleep in one round.

HOT WEATHER STYLES.

Washing Froclxs Will Have a Fine
 Time of It This Season.
 The summer has had its busy finger in many departments of dress. In waists finely tucked thin linens in pale colors, with bretelles, insertions and trimmings of torchon, delicate, but strong enough to stand careful laundry work, will be popular, and from crepe de chine to the finest chiffon and French muslin the range of b1ouses is wide enough to please any one. The pretty waist illustrated is in palest blue chiffon, pouched back and front, tucked and gauged, latticed with blue velvet ribbon and trimmed with gui pure motifs.
 Cottons and linens for waists and entire costumes are elaborated by a dozen devices, the favorite being silk cord, with pendent tassels and yokes of the finest and softest embroidered lawn.
 The long shoulder seam is applied to many ofNthe new foulard and voile day dresses, and when worn with full long skirts this is to be much con- mended, the effect being crowned with the hat, also of the dropping order, cavalier in shape perhaps, with a long plume at one side.
 Bodices are only slightly pouched the high wristbands are a novel fea- ture, and the sack bolero, the tippet, or the pelerine-call it what you will, and there Is variety enough to em- brace any number of ,names-threatens to be the distinct outdoor garment for summer.
 Below the waist for few inches the skirt is tucked, gathered or plaited, so that it outlines the figure, then it flows in graceful fullness, and there is an astonishing amount of width employed in the thin materials, which will be the dominant ones for the summer.
 Silk muslins, chiffons, canvas and voile are to be worn in browns, dark blues and blacks made up over white, and also in very light colors, white leading the way.
 It is in sleeves that the new modes have most strongly asserted them selves. The long one for evening wear has come to stay, and, provided that it is diaphanous enough, it has many charms. Low bodices are mostly cut of

FARM FARMHOUSE.

is an ordinary gable roof, though only
one-half is shown in the photograph.
Two sets of openings, each 30 by 80
inches, are built into the structure,
through which the stock may reach the
water. Two of these are shown in the
cut. This arrangement has the advan-
tage of allowing stock from two OH
ferent yards to use the same tank. The
openings are arranged with drop doors
ON the inside. These are up in place
and do not show in the cut. 1t Will be
noted. however, that small rope is at
tached to the partition between the TWO
openings, which holds the traps in
Mace and also raises and lowers them
without difficulty. These are OF great
importance and should not be omitted
from any such structure. BY care1ui
use of these doors one is able to pack
the tank and keep the packing III gooo
condition without much effort.
The width of the building is five rect
which does very well for a three toot
tank. This gives ample room for pach-
ing. Obviously tanks Of various widths
must have houses built according 10
their dimensions, but care should pe
taken that there is sufficient room iof
