A friend gave me a pocket. one Of
the kind you wear under and pinned
to the band of your dress skirt. It
has been so useful / have wondered
why / never had one before and why
every woman does not have one, says
a Ladies' World correspondent. 1t was
made of mode color linen, bound with
satin ribbon Of the same color and
stitched with silk to match. A little
chamois bag with buttoned down flap
was fastened inside. This was for
my valuables. Two pieces Of the linen,
fourteen and half inches long and six
and a half inches wide, were used for
the pocket. A slit six inches long was
cut in the center, lengthwise, Of the
upper piece and bound with the rib
bon for an opening for the hand. Pieces
were then put together and both sides
trimmed off to a width of three inches
at the top and the pocket finished with
the satin binding, which covered and
held together all the raw edges.

The Tools of Genfu.

Some of the greatest discoveries In
physics and chemistry have been made
with the simplest forms Of apparatus
and under the most modest conditions
Of laboratory equipment. One need only
recall the achievements Of the famous
John Dalton and in later time Of Sir
Gabriel Stokes to illustrate the point.
As regards the latter, a comment Of
Lord Rayleigh is Of interest. Stokes
experimental work, he says, was exc
cuted with the most modest appliances.
Many of his discoveries were made in a
narrow passage behind the pantry of
his house, into the window of which he
had shutter fixed with slit in 1t and
bracket on which to place crystals
and prisms. London Telegraph.

Praises Chinese CookInG.

A German epicure comes to the res
cue Of the Chinese in regard to their
alleged habit of eating rotten eggs.
The eggs, he says, are simply pre-
served in lime until they get con-
Estency like that of hard butter and
they taste somewhat like lobster. He
declares them one of the choices del
icacies he has ever eaten. He thinks
there are no better cooks in the world
than the Chinese. When he went to
live among them his friends predicted
he would starve, but he had a good
time and gained weight-more than he
wanted to.

In the recent news many people
have noticed one or two references to
the fact that timed meats for the Rus

which enables the contents Of each tin

binary tins filled with food "jaeketed'

Nicotine Under tho Ban.

The Spanish cortes is about to be-
come the scene of a remarkable ex-
pertinent in social legislation. The
minister Of the interior has drafted a
bill absolutely prohibiting the selling
Of tobacco, cigars or cigarettes to any
person under II years Of age. The
penalties vary from G2 to EGO, with
Imprisonment in exceptionally bad
cases. The measure is justified as Inn
perative for the arrest Of racial de-
generation. tuberculosis makes great
ravages among Spanish laboring
youths, who, for the most part, under
nourfshed and already enfeebled by
this and overwork, aggravate matters
by spending much of their scanty
wages in tobacco, generally cigarettes.

A singular race case under the law

Of three triplet brothers. among them

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
nody clean. You don't wait until your
body is foul before you cleanse ii.
1t IS matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are so careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do net keep their
bodies in wholesome condition and who
dwell IN filthy Surroundings are the first to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous to the individual than foul body.
An unclean body is rather q passive than
an active hindrance to health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the yerv
llfe-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
1t is part Of Natures plan for human
safety that In many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets sign on the
body in proof of the corrupt current that Is
moving through the veins. Scrofula with
ITS dishgur1ng sores and scars eczema with
Its irritation, salt-rheum, letter erysipelas,
boils, pimples and other eruptions are only
the outward signs of the impurity of the
blood. But often in the earlier or simpler
stages of the blood's impurity there are no
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings, which are COM
of the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry easily takes the first place. 1t elimin-
ates from the blood the elements which
clog and corrupt it, and which breed and
feed disease. 1t acts directly on the blood
making glands, increasing their activity,
and so increasing the supply of rich, pure
blood which is the life of the body.
Accept no substitute for TGolden Med
ical Discovery" There is nothing ujust
as good" for diseases of the stomach,
blood and lungs.

BuclSwheat Batter Always ON Hama.
Mix well together one quart of buck
wheat -four, one teaspoonful Of salt,
one cupful of rolled oats and one cup
full of graham or wheat -four. Scald a
cupful of cornmeal with enough boil
ing water to moisten it. Dissolve one
half Of q yeast cake in a half cupful OF
warm water Add to the dry mixture
sufficient tepid water Tor sweet milk
and water mixed to make q rather
thick drop batter. Stir in the scalded
meal dissolved yeast and one or two
tablespoonfuls of molasses; then thin
slightly with more water or milk and
beat thoroughly. Cover and set aside
to rise overnight. In the morning thin
as much as necessary for baking, using
milk or water in which Is dissolved a
quarter of a teaspoonful OF baking
soda. Have the griddle very hot.
Grease with thick piece OF suet or fat
salt.pork. Set aside full half pint Of
the batter, closely covered, to act as a
starter for the next batch in place Of
yeast. Keep it in cool place where IL
will not freeze. This is Table Talks
recipe, to which it adds the useful item
that where plenty of skim milk Is on
hand it may be used in place Of water
for mixing the batter. In this case less
molasses will be necessary, one or the
other being needed to insure nicely
Drowned cakes. Where less buckwheat
is liked the proportion of wheat or gra-
ham -four may be increased. The
rolled oats are added to give lightness
and delicacy to the batter.
