Bottled Bushes

Bottled Bushes
There is an article on sale in London
which should be imported. II is moth
ing more nor less than bottled bushes
1t is shown at medical exhibition,
and consists Of q tiny glass bottle
which properly manipulated, is war
ranted to bring a fine blush to the
| best seasoned cheek of society's hard
| lest matron.
Examined scientifically it is an in
| geniouS arrangement of amyl nitrite;
a tiny glass bottle containing a minim
of this solution is wrapped in cotton
wool with a linen covering, and when
| the glass is snapped by the fingers
the volatile drug soaks into the COW
ering for inhalation. AS the 'kerchief
Is held to the face a most delicate flush
suffuses the cheeks.
A New Tomato Salad
Select perfectly ripe, round smooth
| tomatoes. Take one, stem end down,
cut through the skin in sections from
| the center to an inch from stem to
stem end then cut through the pulp
underneath one-fourth inch deep. With
a sharp-ponted French knife separate
the skin and pulp (raising the latter
in sections about one-fourth of an
inch thick). Chill thoroughly When
ready to serve remove hard center care
fully from stem to stem end, season
each tomato with two dashes each of
salt and pepper. Fill the open space
beneath with mayonnaise and serve
on lettuce leaf, or on row of heart
leaves of lettuce on Individual plates.
Turn back the second row of petals
and ill center with mayonnaise.
What Charcoal Is Good For
Charcoal is one of the greatest puri-
fiers of water that we have. Water
or any substance allowed to percolate
through it will be freed of all animal
organisms or foreign particles. 1t is
one of the best sweeteners of the
breath. After a hearty meal it is a
splendid thing for the stomach, if
added to it is a little ginger. 1t is eX-
cellent with which to cleanse the teeth.
for it removes fungus growth that
many tooth powders fail to touch. 1t
relieves pain caused by a burn.
Shrimp croquettes
Remove one can of shrimps from the
can. Throw them into cold water and
wash rapidly but carefully; drain we'll
and then chop fine with a silver knife.
Place over the fire in a double broiler
half a pint of milk rub together one
rounding tablespoonful of butter and
three of -four add to the boiling milk
shrimps a level teaspoonful of salt
level tablespoonful Of parsley, a table
| spoonful of lemon juice and a little
cayenne pepper. Now add the sauce,
mix well, spread out on a platter and
set on ice until very cold. When cold
form into a cylinder shaped croquettes,
roll in fine bread crumbs, cover with
egg and roll in coarser bread crumbs.
Fry, three at time, in a frying basket
in hot lard until a nice brown. Place
on soft brown paper to drain and serve
hot, garnished with parsley.
Ohio Woman's Success
Mrs. Bertha L. Grimm of Mansfield,
Ohio, has succeeded better than any
other woman in the work of co-Opera-
tive housekeeping. She uses a heat
retaining apparatus, and with this de-
vice she has for four years served fam
| lilies with hot dinners at less expense
than they could cook them. She has
been invited by the state university at
| Columbus to come there and cater to
| the students.
Bag of shoestrines
Pretty trihes for Christmas giving
are much in demand and the ladies
are racking their brains to think of
dainty gifts. A lady was seen recently
carrying a pretty bag for shopping,
made of brown silk shoestrings woven
| by hand into pretty mesh and used
to cover a brown satin foundation that
may give a suggestion to some lady
| looking for an idea.
Crazy Baseball Fan
A Chicago baseball fan recently be-
| came violently insane during the play
off between the National and American
| league clubs for the city championship.
1t is to be expected that a movement
will be started to do away with baseball
now, on the far fetched allegation that
it drives the spectators crazy.
