FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
sits of Information fut Together fe1

Book.

Tall, slender vases filled with flowers
sometimes topple over with the uneven
weight. 1t is a good plan to carefully
drop teaspoonful of fine shot into the
| bottom of the vase before filling 1t.
Pebbles will answer the purpose equal
ly we'll.
Feather pillows, if the covers are
quite clean, are benefited by leaving
out in summer rain, afterwards sun
ming them for several days on the
clothesline. Down quilts may be treat
ed similarly without the slightest dan
ger of injury. There will be some
shrinkage.
The craze for basket and rafia work
has ben carried little too far in some
directions. There can be no excuse for
raffia lampshades, for example. These
shades, ornamented with cherries,
leaves, and flowers, resemble rather
theatrical haystacks. and are inf1am-
mable enough to be sources of danger
| into the bargain. z@
Butter that does not taste quite as
fresh as it should may be greatly i'm
proved by putting in wooden chop
ping bowl with salt water and thor
oughly working it over and over with
q butter worker or even a potato
masher Pour of the salt water and
substitute sweet milk, working 1t into
the butter in the same way. Finally
wash well with clear, cold water.
| Pansies are used most effectively for
table decoration. Most people make
the mistake of picking flowers without
any foliage Almost all flowers need
their own leaves, and the pansy is no
exception to the rule. Break of as
much of the original spray as the plan:
will suffer, bringing flowers, buds and
leaves into the bouquet. Thus treated
pansies mass beautifully in low glass
dishes. 80
Bread should not be eaten fresh,
hence does not suffer in the interim
between the baking and the delivery.
1t is far better made in quantity and
under the unvarying conditions of a
bake shop. The only trouble is that
most bakers make bread not to eat but
to sell. II one of them should estab-
lish reputation for furnishing bread
identically like the best Of that made
in country kitchens he would soon be
unable to fill his orders. That is, un-
less long indulgence in bakers bread
has ruined the city palate.
When a boys room is not furnished
with a couch, the boy is extremely apt
to lie on the bed to read, the chances
of his removing his shoes or protecting

RADIUM COCKTAILS.
Guests ut q BANQUET I'm New York City
Have Their Glasses Charged
with "Liquid Sunshine."

Their glasses, charged with '4iquid
sunshine" and facing banner behind
the POSTMASTER, which glowed with m.
T." the guests at the annual dinner OF
the Technology club, held at the Uniyer-
sity clubhouse, at New York, the other
night, rose in the dark and drank to their
alma mater, the Massachusetts, Insti-
tute Of Technology. Radium made the
Liquid sunshine cocktails" luminous,
and radium paint prepared by Lester D.
Gardner illuminated the banner and
later played leading part in the series
of experiments under the title of "hav-
ing little fun with science"
No attempt was made to introduce
any of the new wonders of radio activ-
ity, but Mr.. Gardner had prepared Sc
ries of entertaining demonstrations of
what can be done with radium in the
way of amusing spectators. The liquid
sunshine" which was drunk without any
apparent disturbance of the diners d.
gestive organs, was the novel feature
of dinner which had many surprises.
Mr.. Gardner explained the compost
ton of his novel drink. A portion of
esculin fiuorescent chemical was dis
solved In each glass of water. In the
glass was tiny tube containing a mi
mute portion of radium. The radium,
acting on the esculin, caused the con-
tents of the glass to glow in the dark
ness.
Then there appeared in the darkness
a skeleton jumping-jack, which waved
its arms and legs and waggled its head.
In another part Of the room suddenly
appeared a second skeleton, which re-
NAMED motionless, but sufficiently
ghostlike to brighten an unwarned au-
dience. The luminosity Of these and
other toys which Gardner introduced
was explained In little speech. Mr..
Gardner said: Il now call your atten-
ton to radium paint, so-called; this is
merely new form of our old friend,
luminous paint"

Savory Stew.

Cut salt pork into rather small
pieces and cook In water till done.
Thicker with -four and season with

For School Children.

Thin slices of bread may be lightly
buttered and sprinkled with graduated
sugar. Peel, core, and chop fine tart
apple and spread thfckly on the bread.
Steamed dates or prunes may be used
instead of the apple, in which case sugar
is not needed. French chocolate made
into a paste and spread between thin
slices of bread. slightly moistened with
cream, is delicious.-Chicago Tribune.

= His Advantages.

Americans often growl because on ar
rival in Berlin they are obliged to reg
lister and have their names sent to po-
lice headquarters. But the system has
its advantage even to them, as when
wrongly directed letters are sent to the
police station and thence forwarded to
the right address.

FOR PURPOSES OF ECONOMY.
An Illustrative Instance Of the FAN.
ure Of an Oft-ExplOited
Theory.

Somebody told him that two could live
cheaper than one, and his salary of $40
week was so small that it seemed a long
time between pay days. So, as matter
of economy, he got married, relates the
Philadelphia Press. a4
He had the good luck to get a smart
girl for wife who had literary ambi-
tons. At the end of the first three
months they were In debt to everybody
who would trust them, and they held
consultation as to whether it would be
wiser to 60 into bankruptcy or move
over to Jersey. Economy and retrench-
ment were discussed at every meal, but
in practice they went from bad to worse,
and the young husband began to lose
color and have q worn and anxious look.
One evening he came home with .
bundle under his arms, his head held
high, his step buoyant and CLEAN Of
triumph in his eye. His wife was glad
to see him thus, and made certain that
he had at last got the raise In salary for
which both had been hoping. She set
the evening meal before him and waltz
ed for him to say something. But, man
like. he kept her waiting. At last, when
she could stand it no longer, she asked
him:
What is it, George? p
"Tve found out how to live on ten .
week.
! "Have you?"
r "Sure.'
"Tell me-"
"It's all in this book, " said he, taking
up the package, Practical Household
Economy Well spend the evening read
ing it."
How much did you pay for it,"
"Seven dollars-one dollar down and
so cents week / know it's steep, but
If it shows us how to live, why, it'll be
cheap"
Book agent-came to the Office to-
day-all the boys bought one. You don't
seem to think it's much of a bargain" 4
"Well, no don't think we're built
the right way for economy. That book
agent was here and sold me one, tool"

LETTUCE PREVENTS SMALLPOX
A Small Quantity Morning and Even.
ing F0rtifies the System Against
the Disease.

Don't forget that lettuce is proven
tive of smallpox, says Medical Talk fol
the Home.
So far as it is possible for a human
being to be protected from catching
smallpox, lettuce is a protection.
No need for vaccination whatever
Any person who eats a small quantity
Of lettuce twice day, morning and
evening, is as well protected against
smallpox as it is possible for any one
to be.
To be sure, one ought to be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms, and
avoid dirt of all sorts. Also avoid con-
tact with people that have smallpox.
Foolish exposure to the contagion of
smallpox is not to be thought Of. But
there is no need for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide small quantity of lettuce
morning and evening, and you can feel
sure that you have protected yourself
and your family in the best possible
way against smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the oldest vegetable
remedies known to the medical profess
sion. Long before it was used as food
it was used as medicine Many times
it has been claimed that it has magical
or miraculous powers to prevent. con-
,agious iiseases We believe this IL
carrying matters altogether too far.
But lettuce does furnish to the system
exactly what is needed to protect it
against the poison of smallpox.
We defy anyone to produce case OF
smallpox that has been contracted by
any person who made daily use Of let
tuce as food. II there is any such
case on record, we would be glad to
hear of it. s $3.50

Winter Food for Tabby,

Lovers OF cats should not forget to
Provide their pets with little green
food in winter. Lettuce leaves chopped
in their food or even celery tops, are
relished by cats. 1t is good plan also
to keep lot of grass or oats growing
in the house for them to nibble at.

The BIucher Hussars.

King Edward, who formally present
ed his portrait to the mess of the Bluch-
er Hnssars, of which he is the hon
orary chief, has now sent q sum of
1000 marks, or ESQ, to the fund for
erecting monument to the memory
Of Marshall Vorwarts," Wellington's
ally at Waterloo, from whom the
regiment derives it's name. This is
TO be erected at the regimental head
quarters, the little town of Stolp, in
Pomerania, not far from Varzin, the
"Tusculum" of the late Prince Bis
mark. King Edward was appointed to
the Butcher Hussars on the occasion of
the silver wedding of his sister, the
then German crown princess, when he
was delighted to find that the uniform
sent him by the old emperor bore the
insignia of field marshal. The prince
concluded that he had been made a
Prussian field marshal, but all that the
emperor had done was to have his royal
highness' Prussian uniform marked
with the symbol of his rank in the Brit
ish service, and as field marshal King
Edward is only la suite of the Prus-
sian army.-London Chronicle.
