Putting ground coffee to steep In
cold water the night before will be
found to result in economy and rich
ness of flavor for the breakfast bever
age. Enough coffee should be used
to allow one tablespoonful for every
cup and an extra one for the pot.
Sugar should be bought in small
quantities as it dies and loses flavor
If kept; raisins, currants and candieG
peel will not keep long. Vinegar roor
loses its flavor if kept, and so does
Lucca oil. Macaroni will not keep, and
spice, pepper and roasted coffee, too
soon deteriorate.
Candles burn better and more slow
ly If they have been stored in a dry
place six or seven weeks before be
ing used. Soap will go twice as far Il
well dried. 1t should be cut into small
blocks and these arranged in there's
with spaces between to allow then
to dry.

klnn Snlomon,s Gold.

The evidences that Rhodesia was
tho country from which King Solo
mons gold was obtained are said to
be accommodating. The builders of the
more ancient portion of the massive
and extensive ruins recently explored
at Great Zimbabwe are believed to
have lived about 100 B. c., and to
have belonged to a race who were
the gold purveyors of the world.

PLEASING STYLES in Goats.

The short basque coats and coats Of
moderate hip length will be found
more generally becoming than the red
ingotes, and while not SO new, are
quite as fashionable. The short basque
coats are, of course, fitted snugly al
the waist and often belted or girdled;
but though the general tendency lie
toward the coat fitted closely at back
and sides if not in front, the sack coat
has not disappeared and loosely fall
ing coat models are numerous.

For Daylight Wear.

One point that pertains to all cos.
tunes for daylight wear is the notable
absence Of train to the skirt. The
very best makers are showing gowns
in all Of the expensive materials with
the skirt full and bouffant, either to
clear or barely touch the ground, just
as the wearer prefers. With the new
skirts that are anywhere from six to
ten yards around the hem the problem
Of 'how to hold up four sides of skirt
at once and only two hands do 1t
WITH" as clever old lady expressed
1t, was one that is simply solved by do
ing away with the necessity for hold
ing up the skirt at all.

Occupied Queer Pulpit.

A curious pulpit was that used by
Bishop Bickersteth, who once occu-
pied the lantern-space of lighthouse
in which to deliver a short address to
a small gathering Of visitors and the
lighthouse men themselves. On an
other occasion the sanity old man
preached in the operating theater OF
hospital to a congregation of pa
tents.

Neck Chains Galore,

This is the day of old jewelry. Even
with the severest tailored gowns,
strings of turquoise, pearl, jade, coral
or colored glass beads are worn. One
pays as high as IS for a string OF
glass beads. These are supposed to
be Venetian, but most of them are
made in Providence, r. l., and other
American cities. There is a green
bead turned out in a Providence fac
tory which rivals jade for translu
cence and tender coloring. Pink coral
and white coral are in high favor.

The BEGINNING of ncontraband.v

During the war between Spain and
Holland those powers acted with so
much rigor toward ships of every ma
tioDality conveying goods to the bel
ligerents that England felt bound to
protest. The resistance provoked by
England led to the first use of the
term contraband of war when the
treaty of Southampton was drawn up
between this country and Spain in
1625.-London Answers.

The Japanese now admit that they
lost battleship several months ago
when the war correspondents report

to be liars. 1t is pretty safe, after all,
to take it for granted that the war
correspondents know a good deal
about what is going on.

Music Halls the cad.

Paris, like London, is deserving the
theaters for the music halls. The the
aters are too expensive, the runs OF
plays too long; the star" system
tends to make the program a one-per-
son affair, and, in brief, the theaters
bore the people-the music halls
amuse them.

Explosives In Cabbage.

In these days Of chemical manures,
we often consume a lot of explosive
when we eat a cabbage. Ground, the
nature OF which requires it to be fer
tilted with nitrate of potash, yields
some of this up to the plant in the
course of growth, and so it reaches
the interior of the body.
