Wall Papers.

Conventionalized fruit designs, es-
pecially giant grapes, are fine for
dining rooms.
Big blossoms are undeniably good
for very large rooms, hydrangeas
rivaling roses.
There's hardly paper that can
not be successfully tortured into
some sort of panel effect.
Old fashioned nosegays of small
flowers strewn over a white ground
make a pretty wall covering for a
bedroom.
Though not new, one can hardly
do better than cover country house
bedrooms with white or pastel tint

Save washing and busters by us
ing old newspapers for cleaning.
They are excellent for window pol
ishers; also for cleaning tinware,
and are as good as a brush for pol

at hand lots of newspapers, and use
them for wiping up grease or water
spilled on the stove or range, and
they will enable you to keep the
range clean with half the usual trou-

Sauerkraut.

Shred the cabbage very fine after
looking over carefully to be sure
there are no insects or worms be-
tween the leaves. Pack the cabbage
in wooden tub in layers several
inches thick, covering each layer
with salt and pressing it down hard.
When the tub is full, fit into it
round board, and place a heavy
weight on top of this. Stand away
to ferment. AS the cabbage sinks
and the liquor comes to the top of
the tub skim off the scum. When
ready to use, wash it and boil.

WASHING silk Hsndk.rehisf..

No soap should be rubbed on the
silk; no soda should be mixed with
the water, and the handkerchiefs
should on no account be boiled. A
hot, thick soapy lather, made with
finely shredded soap, should be used
for cleansing the handkerchiefs,
which should afterward be thorough
ly freed from all soap by rinsing in
plenty of cold water, and when most
of the water has been pressed out
they should be dried, if possible, in

would involve larger expenditure for
rent than has been customary, and
