Show for siuktseers.


When President Roosevelt Was GO
Ing from Oyster Bay to Washington
recently he and his party passed
through Thlrty-fourth street. the chief
executive bowling and smiling to those
who saluted him.
AS the mounted policemen who rode
ahead reached Thirty-fourth street q
big automobile with sightseers drew
up on the north side Of the street to
let the carriages pass.
Suddenly the nan with the mega.
phone yelled out:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Here
comes the president OF the United
States. I was one of his Rough Riders
and arranged it with him to get, here
at the same time IS this machine.
You see we are strictly up to date"
The passengers grinned. but the
grin changed 70 q puzzled expression
when, as the barker shouted. Hello,
Colonel: you see I'm on deck" the
president bowed and smiled cordial
'ly. They were not aware that he
would do the same to any one who had
the nerve to salute him as did the
bogus Rough Rider.

MIDGET

For the nursery there Is midget fur
niture, of a kind that delights the
hearts Of the children, not doll furn1-
ture, but furniture, OF just the right
sort for the use Of children; comfort
able easy chairs about one-third the
size Of those in mothers room. Y
cred with pretty cretonne; a small. so
ia and a little box couch, covered to
match, says the Ohio State Journal.
The little toilet table is draped with
the cretonne, and there are hangings
of it at the door. A small white writ
ing desk and table, with a white chair
of corresponding size, have a place in
one corner Of the room, and on the
desk are slate and pencil and an alpha
bet game. The c%retonne box couch
makes an excellent receptacle for toys
when they are not in use.

VenisOn-There are several good
methods Of cooking this delicious meat.
but broillng and roasting are the most
popular. After partially broiling, rub
the steaks with butter and return to
the fire until they are done. Place on
a very hot platter and add seasoning
and a little more butter. Melt a tea
spoonful of current jelly and pour over
the venison just before serving. It is
q good plan to marinate venison steaks
before broiling, and for this purpose
the following is recommended: Stir
into a tablespoonful of salad oil, salt,
white pepper, and a very little grated
nutmeg. Roll the venison well in this
before placing in the broiler.

Clay's favorite dish, and is guaranteed
to be after a recipe of Mrs. Clay's

HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Right Food Makes Happy Children Be-
cause They Are Healthy.

Sometimes milk does not agree with
children or adults. The same thing is
true Of other articles Of food. What
agrees with one sometimes does not
agree with others.
But food can be SO prepared that it
will agree with the weakest stomach.
AS an Observation-Disclosures, no matter
how weak the stomach, can eat. relish

Nuts poured in, and such a combina-
ton contains nourishment to carry one
a number Of hours, for almost every
particle Of it will be digested and
taken up by the system and be made
use Of.
A lady writes from the land of the
Magnolia and the mocking bird way
down in Alabama and says: Il was

CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS.
Few h-ousekeepers understand how
to care for hardwood floors. Simple
or elegant, there is but, one mode OF
treatment, says the California LADIES'
Magazine. Never put q drop Of oil OF
any kind upon them. If soiled, rub
them off thoroughly with q flannel
cloth wet with turpentine. When dry
apply q preparation of wax. Wnen
this is finished and dry. polish them
with q cloth or brush made FOR the
purpose until clear and shining, as the
quality of the floor will admit. This
carefully done will keep . wooden
floor in perfect condition.

THE COAL FIRE.

Good Housekeeping tells us that, in
order to economic the fuel, we should
have a good bed of Goals, and when
adding fuel, shovel on one side only.
covering a little less than half their
surface; put in as much coal as expert
ence may show necessary and have the
coal reasonably fine; do not burn coarse
Jumps. Next time put in fuel on the
other side. In this way, the heat from
the live Goals tends to make coke Of
the fresh fuel, consuming the smoke
and gases. Less draft is needed to
start the fire, and less fuel goes to
waste in gas or smoke, and there is
less gas and dirt in the furnace room
and house. In case of large Jumps used
to hold the fire, a good way is to scat
ter slack over the Jumps, as the slack
tends to hold the fire longer and the
Jumps tend to prevent the slack from
forming cinders.
In using coal, especially the soft coal,
there is always more or less fine coal,
Or dust in every load, and this can be
used to very great advantage by lay
ing back the Jumps. when one has a
fine bed of coal in the range, and put
ting this fine coal on the live Goals. 9
shovelful at a time, in tia above man
ner. 1t makes a very hot fire, and
there is thus no waste. It is a very
extravagant way Of doing when ONT
picks out the Jumps and leaves the fine
coal and dust to be thrown out will
the ashes. Some claim that it adds tt
the heating qualities Of the coal dus
to sprinkle it we'll with water before
using it.
