chafe.
A burned saucepan should be filled
with cold water to which a rather lib
eral, allowance Of soda has been added.
Let stand for an hour or so; then heat
the water slowly and let simmer for q
few minutes, and the burned particles
will come of quite easily.
Among the minor annoyances Of
housekeeping is the one that, how

scenery papers, so called because they
depict landscapes from all countries
which have claim to natural or scenic
beauty.
A number of these paper patterns
suggest personally conducted tour
through Japan, Spain, Holland, France
or England. In most instances the
scenery paper is used in panels. either
singly or in groups. The edges of the
panels are outlined with a fiat shaped
wooden molding about two inches wide.
The rest of the wall is then filled in
with plain or striped paper carrying out
the predominating tone in the panel.

tract of road which wound, a reddish

From the instant that we passed the
rise we could no longer see the vehicle,
but we fastened onward at such a
pace that my sedentary life began to
tell upon me, and l was compelled to
fall behind. Holmes, however, was al
ways in training, for he had inexhaust-

summer furniture; for instance, natural
rattan run with bright interlaced color
ings. A sunny, happy summer furni-
ture one raight call yellow rattan, lovely
alike for bedroom, drawing room and
porch in the country home. Eccentric
novelties hardly good style are chairs
backed with plated ropes and with
seats or cushions of burlap tied in with
the ropes. Movable leather cushions
are not a novelty in rattan furniture,
but this material attached to the chair
is decided innovation. 1t is very COM
Portable, and many persons prefer it to
sliding, slippery cushions. Golf sets of
green rattan fitted with brown leather
seats are quite the thing this summer.
The chairs and settees have rattan golf
cases, which on the lawn may answer
equally we'll as receptacles for umbrella
and walking sticks.
Everything to add to ones comfort
has been provided in the new summer
furniture. There are large and cheer
full seats equipped with a round rattan
receptacle for holding bottles, and
many of the lawn chairs have fiat
pieces of wood extending from leg to
leg to prevent the chair from sinking
into the grass. The rockers, when adj
mitted to the smart lawn, are made with
broad pieces of wood instead of the
usual rocker. Then the porch chairs
are large, roomy affairs with broad
arms, beneath which a space is ar
ranged in which to stow magazines and
books. Desks, three corner cabinets
very like the old fashioned walnut af
fairs of long ago, are to be seen in all
the light summer woods and rattans.
Magazine racks for porch or inside
use are new and have four shelves
shaped to fit the space. Tea tables are
circular and in several tiers, supplied
with bent handles by which to carry
them.
Prairie grass furniture in closely
woven mesh is very strong, durable and
pretty and is not as expensive as some
of the other new designs. Light color
ing is not absent in the array of hot
weather furniture, pale blue, pink and
even lavender appearing in all the new
patterns. Screens for the summer
house are gayer and more attractive
than ever The poster screens are va
ried and in some cases extremely pref
ty. A charming example shows series
of French pictures, reproductions of
water colors. They are set near the
top of the leaves. and the lower part of
the screen is covered with pockets for
pipes, photographs, etc.

Testing Esss.

A new and simple method for testing
eggs has been discovered. It IL based
upon TIN. fact that the air chamber in
the fiat end Of the egg increases with
age. II the egg is placed in saturat-
ed solution Of common salt It will show
an increasing inclination to float, with
the long. axis vertical. A scale is at
tached to the vessel containing the salt
solution so that the inclination Of the
floating egg toward the horizontal
can be measured. In this way the age
Of the egg can be determined almost to
a day. A fresh egg lies in horizontal
position at the bottom of the vessel; an
egg from three to ave days old shows
an elevation of the fiat end, SO that tts
long axis forms an angle Of twenty de-
grees. With an egg eight days old the
angle increases to forty-five degrees,
with am egg fourteen days old to sixty
degrees and with one three weeks OLD
to seventy-five degrees. while an esq
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
