Do not throw away food tidbits, not
q thing, but use them soon.
Induce draft every morning into
the closet by opening the doors and
windows opposite the kitchen.
Be sure the water is at boiling point
before putting in vegetables to cook;
otherwise their freshness and flavor
will be lost.
Sweet as a nut should be the
kitchen closets. Shelf papers should
be frequently changed and the shelves
washed with hot water and soda.
Ventilate the closets and do not let
them give up the ghosts of all the
fried and boiled dinners ola centuries
as soon as the closet door is opened
Washing soda or strong soap suds
is a good disinfectant. One a day at
least flush out the pipes of the kitchen
sink by pouring down a quart of boil
ing water in which handful of wash
ing soda has been dissolved.
Every house mistress ought to go
through kitchen and pantries at least
once a week, poke into closets, turn
out dark corners, and see that every
nook and Granny is cleaned, aired and
summed, and that all odds and ends
which so quickly gather, are effective.

What Young Girls Wear.
Young girls are wearing a good deal
of hand-embroidered muslin or batiste
and this is very dainty. Spotted and
figured foulards are also used for pet
ticoats, but chiefly to form founces
of trimmings on a plain silk founda
ton. These in black and white, blue
and white, and green and white are
suitable for wearing with our dark
serge mourning frocks, cut short and
very full around the feet.

Life in the Country.

We have been out in the country
again to pet the wabbly calf and watch
the angry little bee gather more
honey. We left "the busy mart" one
morning just at day break when
the smells OF great city
were shedding their bilious odor
on a dyspeptic air. We left the
city not because we couldn't take
it with us, but because we didn't want
it along. We are particular about
our company when we go where we
might feel ashamed of ourself-and
we went to the country.
We were born in the country and
adopted the city because the city
wouldn't adopt u.s. 4nasmuch as blood
is thicker than water, we like Gods
country best. That is why, when we
get all gummed up in the cerebral
region, we hurry away to the land of
our nativity-the free, unbridled coun-
tryi
Not that we have ever hankered
Tor a farmers life, our divine afflatus
aud a disproportionate central stat
uary that bothers us when we put on
our shoes, forbidding; but we have
often dreamed of being a gentleman
farmer. In our minds eye we haze
fitted from flower to flower on the
farm, scratching the pigs with a cob,
feeling new horns sprouting on the
infantile rams, sailing the new kit
tens, haltering the turkey gobbler,
gathering the eggs where the horses
have failed to eat them, sharing goph-
ers from post holes, teaching the dog
to bite book-agents, fighting the chinch
bugs and the Jersey COW out of the
wheat field, taking skinned milk to
the village, Dragging about our horses
and how near lightning came to hit
ting our barn.
Up to our recent visit this was our
dream of the farm. Now we know
we have been deceived. All farmers
of to-day are gentlemen farmers, and
just as soon as we can find a farmer
fool enough to swap places with us we
are going out into the rural districts
to eat green corn off the cob and be
happy tho married.
At the farm home the grass in the
1IOAI ydIu was ClippeQ WIFI q lawn
mower, there were a hammock and
easy chairs. The dinner was dream.
The farmer spent the day enjoying
himself while the hired help did the
work. There were yet two picnics
and sale to attend that week.
We have always contended that
while the farmer feeds us all he usual
ly keeps the best for his own larder.
There is huge overgrown belief in
town that farmer skimps his own
table to carry food-stuffs to market.
Perish the error; the farmer has fresh
eggs and vegetables, the yellow
legged chickens cavort about his legs
and the apples in his orchard are as
ruddy-hued as the cheeks of his pretty
daughters. His mail is delivered at
his door, he has telephone and takes
forty'leven periodicals which he reads
before passing them to that bourne
from which newspapers never return
His life is not ideal, but it has
leaning that way. Don't pity the
farmer; save your sympathy for the
town slave.

Comma Street. Suits.

The fall and winter street suits will
be made with skirts of instep length
and the long-fitted coat This coat in
various adaptations will be the pre-
vailing model for street and carriage
costumes. Its skirt grows longer
quite to the knee, indeed, and below
it for dress wear. These are the de-
velopments of the present seasons
fashion. We do not have nowadays
the radical changes that used to be
considered necessary. The good style
of one season becomes the leading
style of the next. 1t is perfected and
adapted, the right material is found
for it and by the third season it is
evolved into a fine and satisfactory
style which holds for a longer period
than formerly. This is the history of
the Russian blouse, which existed
with slight changes for several years.

Novelty in Feathers.

Among the novelties in millinery
which are eyed with favor at our
coast summer resorts is the soft
plumage of the Japanese duck. One
does not know if this is only the
trade name of an arrangement de-
vised by cunning milliner, or wheth-
er it be the species. At any rate it is
stylish, whether used as soft breast
plumes or the sitter wing feather
The general law in summer millinery
favors fiat or horizontal effects, and
most of the feather trimmings, wheth-
er curling ostrich plumes, stiff wings.
or curved breast feathers mounted on
crinoline, are trained in this direc-
ton.

common sight and is almost always due to

1t is worse than foolish for so many
women 10 suffer year after with disease
that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should take to effect
a cure.

tory results from the use of Peruna; write

ment of your case, and he will be pleased

To Make Hair Fluffy.

To make the tresses so fluffy that
they appear to be twice as plentiful a
course of electrical brushing is rec
commended.
This also has been found to cure
many of the ills to which the hair of
those poor in health is subject and to
alleviate neuralgia and insomnia. The
process is simplicity itself.
To brushes and combs electricity is
conveyed by means of wire connec-
lions, and all the operator has to do
is to use them gently in the ordinary
manner.

Outdoor Coat.

1t must be loose, it must be short
and it must have. large sleeves, and
all these are absolute necessities on
such garment, which has to be easily
slipped on and off. Fawn, white and
champagne color are, perhaps, the
most useful, but the royal purple and
black relieved by white find many ad-
herents. There are plenty of black
glace coats worn, many enlivened by
bright colored embroideries of Bull
garian or a Russian nature.

what green cucumber does to man
