Ruqs and Carpets.

How many rugs and carpets are
worn out in half the time they should
last by the constant beating and
sweeping they receive? Instead of
this they should be kept clean with
carpet sweeper and occasionally put
out on the grass. Lay them on the
wreng side and beat with a furniture
beater; then reverse and sweep care
fully, using soft brush in preference
A little airing outside of the suns
rays Is very good for them.
Always brush the carpet in the di-
rection which the nap lies, never in
the opposite direction, as this destroys
the luster. When large carpet is to
be thoroughly cleaned 1t is better to
send it where the work is properly
done. These cleaners do the work
very effectively and are not hard upon
the carpets.
If, however you have carpet squares
or rugs you wish to clean at home
proceed as follows: Stretch and tack
the square upon a clean floor, then
scour it we'll with soapsuds. After
She securing it must be thoroughly
rinsed to remove all traces of the
soap, after which the rug should be
left in the same position to dry, and
the tacks should not be removed un-
til it is perfectly dry. If this is done
the rug will not shrink and will lie
perfectly fat upon the floor when
down.
Creases and ridges are sometimes
seen in rugs, which look like an i'm
perfection in the weaving. This is in
variably the result Of the rug having
been folded and not rolled.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Dreaded Tripe.-Cook some honey

and dip each in beaten egg and then
roll in fine bread or cracker crumbs.
Fry a delicate brown IN a basket in
deep fat.
Cook two pounds Of tripe in boiling

pieces and lay in a buttered baking
dish. Pour over onehalf can of to-
matoes and half medium sized onion
minced fine. Dust with salt and add
a few drops of tabasco sauce, using
about half teaspoon in all. Dot with
butter, using a rounding tablespoon,
and bake three-quarters of an hour.
Brown Bread-Mix one cup each

ham -four, one teaspoon salt, one tea
spoon soda and two even teaspoons
baking powder Then stir in half cup
molasses and two cups sour milk and
If not thin enough to pour add little
more milk or water. Sour milk and
molasses vary so much in amount Of
acidity they contain that it is safer to
use baking powder in addition to the
soda. Stir in one cup raisins, which
have been prepared and cut in halves.
Pour into a wellgreased mold or pail
and steam three hours.
Rye and Indian Bread.-Mix two
cups common yellow corn meal, one
cup rye meal, one level teaspoon salt,
one level teaspoon soda mashed fine
and two level teaspoons baking pow
der. Stir In two and one-half cups
sweet milk and one-half cup molas-
ses and one cup prepared raisins. Mix
thoroughly and turn into creased
pail or mold with tight cover. Stand
the mold on trivet in kettle of
boiling water, enough to come two
thirds of the way round the mold;
cover the kettle tightly and keep the
water boiling steadily for four hours.
Replenish with boiling water as needed.

Sanitary Housekeeping.

Few women there are who do not
know how salient an item is the
scrupulous care of the refrigerator or
ice chest, yet how many of us take
the trouble to see that this important
work is rightly accomplished? IT is
monotonous reading to be told that
this receptacle should be cleansed
thoroughly twice week and wiped
out daily. The waste-pipe leading
from the ice chamber too often proves
medium for the solid food" cul-
ture of germs as the constant drip
ping of melted ice will, unless un.
usual care is bestowed upon it, form
a gelatinous coat, on which the germs
of Termination thrive. A strong alkali,
such as potash-commercially known
as lye-or chloride of lime, should be
poured down this pipe at least twice
a week.
Sinks, washstands and toilets should
likewise receive careful attention and
disinfectants should be generously
used.-Harper's Bazar.

Patchwork.

At this season, when shut ins" are
apt to find time hanging heavy on
their hands, suggestions for a new
kind of patchwork that possesses the
advantage Of covering both sides, wad-
ding and quilting, all at the same
time, may we'll be passed on for the
benefit of those who do this kind OF
work. The directions, as sent in by a
sunshine friend are: "Cut pieces of
silk about four and one-half inches
square, turn and baste down each of
the four sides, leaving squares of four
inches. Then fold them over diagon-
ally, making three-cornered pieces; in
sert a piece of wadding the same size
and shape, and baste the edges to-
gether. Four of these triangles over
handed make a square block. The
effect is good when one triangle in
each block is of black, one of white
or some uniform color. In joining the
blocks together the blocks should be
In corresponding position to make a
regular pattern.
The bias lines of two Of the silk
pieces that go next each other can
first be run together by hand or ma
chine on the wrong side, and then
each folded over, padded and basted.
This avoids having to overland the
bias sides with danger Of stretching.

Surplice effects are among the new
est and most effective of all models
for young girls, and will be greatly
worn during the coming season. The

that are soft enough to render shirring

thread is employed in appliqueing the

The GentIeWoman.

A woman to be well dressed must,
first of all, be eXquisitely neat ana
clean. Her clothing may not always
be of the handsomest, but there is
something in the way in which she
puts on her clothes, in her careful at
tention to detail, that marks her as
the well-dressed woman. Even though
others outshine her in the costliness
of their attire, there is something so
fresh and unsullied in her appearance
that she has a greater charm than her
more expensively dressed sisters. The
neat woman never neglects her daily
bath. She pays scrupulous attention
to her hair and scalp. Her teeth are

SIippers to Match Gown.

Slippers for housewear are most
fascinating Just now for each one has
q bit of decoration which, combined
with their exquisite shapeliness, makes
them all that the most exacting fem
lnine heart could desire.
Satin slippers are perhaps most
charming in the duchess shape for
evening wear, and in pretty mules
and for toilettes to use in ones own
room, but the colored kids and patent
feathers are almost as dainty and
equally fascinating. Ribbon, buckles
and embroidery in silks and beading,
all contribute slillfully to beautify
these French-heeled affairs The main
difference in slippers seems to lie in
the height of the heel and in the dec
orations.
Stockings, too, are made up in silk
to match in coloring the exact shades
of this fancy footgear. The most deli
cate pink, blue or lavender slipper
can always be worn over stocking
that absolutely blends in tint. But, in,
deed, these stockings are no mere &C
cessory to the shoes. Most of them
are deliberately and ornamentally
done in embroidery or open work. A
full design that well covers the ankle
and instep, is most worn. Wreaths
and sprays of flowers, either tied OF
not, and all lines dotted designs, ap
