past 30.

Made With Raspberries.

Raspberry Pudding.-Sprinkle one
cup sugar over one quart raspberTleS,
mash and let them stand until the sugar
is dissolved, stirring and MASKING the
mixture occasionally. Squeeze it
through a coarse cheesecloth. There
should be about one cup of juice. Add
boiling water to make one pint of liquid,
and put it on to boil Wet three table
spoons of cornstarch in a little cold
water and stir it into the boiling syrup.
Add a saltspoon of salt and cook ten
minutes, stirring frequently. Beat the
whites of three eggs stiff, but not quite
dry, and stir them into the thickened
syrup just before removing it from the
fire. Turn it into a mold which has
been wet in cold water and set it away
in a cold place. Make a custard sauce
with the yolks of the eggs and serve
with it.
Raspberry Pie-Bake the twoN crusts
with a mock filling of old linen. When
ready to serve fill the undercrust with
raspberries, sprinkle thickly with pow
dered sugar. add about two tablespoons
of thick cream, and cover with the top
crust or with a meringue. Strawberries
may be used in the same way.
Raspberry Preserve.-Allow equal
weight and sugar and fruit. Pick over
fruit carefully and lay aside the largest
and firmest berries. Mash the remain
der and put on to boil for ten minutes,
and then squeeze them through a
cheesecloth; put this liquid on to boil
with the sugar. remove the scum, then
put in the whole berries; let them boil
up once, skim them out into jars, filling
nearly full. Boil the syrup down until
there is about enough to fill the jars,
then put the berries back and boil up
once more. Fill the jars and seal
quickly.

Proper BREATHING.

1t should always be remembered that
rest must be taken after each exercise
While resting try deep breathing. Stand
erect, though not in strained posi-
ton, and at each breath draw the alb
domen in and throw the chest out. AS
the breath is exhaled, let the chest fall
inward again, and the abdomen out

an hour is long enough time to. devote
to jiu-jitsu and this includes the time

In inhaling draw the breath through
either the nostrils or the mouth, as pre-
ferred; in exhaling, always let the
breath escape through the mouth.

Etiquette of Mourning.

Good taste. which governs etiquette
10 a great degree, would assuredly sug-
sest that one who is dressed i'm the
heavy black of deep mourning, should
not attend public places of amusement.
IL is true that 10 those who really do
not care for anything outside of their
own pleasure, life seems all too short
10 devote many days. much less years,
to the memory Of their Dead 1t is bet
ter. unless the mourning be real, to not
assume it at all. Better to not clothe
the body in its habiliments than to wear
them while the spirit longs for gayety.
If black is not worn, or rather the
deep. sombre crane that denotes the
loss of some one presumably near and
dear, there can be no question of de-
corun or it's lack. But to see woman
with streanners of Grape and deep-bor
dered handkerchief dancing merrily or
enjoying an uproarious farce, is incon-
gruous, to- say the least.
Very many good people object to
mourning. The opinions of such are

perfect liberty to do as they please.

that certain rules of society must not

are necessary to settle the questions of

p.,ryrnr i'm che south.

One of the most encouraging signs
of the times throughout the entire
south is the awakened interest mani
tested in the past few years in dairy
ing. The southern states are ideally
adapted to this branch of agriculture
and a good many farmers have discov-
cred that there is good money in the
milch COW. This is especially true
since the advent of the bandpower
cream separator, which adds from 20
to 40 per cent. to the profis OF each
COW. It is question which our read
ers should thoroughly investigate, noe
only ON account of the ready I1)ney the
mich cow brings in every week. but
also. because of the good efssct upon
the farm in general, which foEows the
introduction of dairy herd. Indeed,
if the COWS did not yield a good profit
directly, they would still be paying
investment on account of their value to
the fertility of the land.-Dtxie Far

NEW FRUITS in TEXAS.

Twenty-eig years ago, when came

vines or canes can now be found on
fenced but uncultivated bottom lands.

well-rotted manure mixed with surface
soil. The second year after planting
it took on the form and habits of the
dewberry, no longer growing in up
right canes, but running on the ground
sometimes 20 feet, and taking root
wherever covered. 1t was necessary,
l found, to set stakes and stretch the
necessary wires for il to twine upon.

IRONING THE LINEN.
Full Directions Governing This Part
of the Doing Up Of Napery to
Look and Wear Well.

All articles to be ironed will have q
better appearance when finished, and be
somewhat easier to iron by being set
for time, after carefully folding, under
a good weight. Fold on table, press
ing each fresh fold heavily with the
hand and smoothing it thoroughly; then,
if even, it should be folded in four to
wear it equally. Double it in two, in
stead of three, and then in two again;
then fold the strip in half and then in
quarters, and bring the names on the out
side fold. Unfold the serviette, as soon
as ironed, into strip, but without fiat
tening the folds, and put it to air; being
thick material, the iron will hardly
make it perfectly dry, and it would
dampen anything with which it was laid
away.
other small table linen must be folded
after ironing, according to the purpose
it is intended for, or its shape. II round
Dr. oval, 1t may be folded in two, or four
if large If a long, narrow strip. fold
the ends together and continue doing
so till a suitable size; do not let folds
run both ways.
Table cloths are difficult to manage,
owing to their size. If the ironing table
is as wide as the cloth, roll the cloth,
right side in, from the end. Keep the
cloth next you and iron the other end
on the right side. AS 1t is finished,
roll it up till all is ironed and rolled.
Then carefully unroll and fold in q
screen fold of four, the center fold being
right side in. Press the folds as they
are made, then air it and put away. II
the table is small, fold the cloth right
side in, selvage to selvage, then draw
the edges back to the center and iron
the cloth in sections on the right side
only. All the right side will thus be
passed under the iron, and it can be
folded and aired, but will always need
more airing; being ironed Ia four thick
nesses. it is sure to remain very damp.
Good hot irons are needed for this, as
the linen is thick and must be damp to
take the watermarks out and the irons
soon cool.-American Queen.

Care of the Linen.

A firm of linen manufacturers giyea
some useful hints for washing table and
other linens. They ADVISE the best OF
washing soaps, to begin with. Soaps full
of alkaIi discolor linen. 1t is better to
wiring linen by hand, or at least have the
rollers of the wringer fairly loose. Be
sure that the rinsing process is thorough.
A great Improvement in doing up linen
is this stock: Dissolve one ounce of
gum arabic in half a put of warm water.
Add one tablespoonful Of the solution
to a quart of water, and wiring out the
linens in the mixture. A point in the
care of towels: Admonish the mascu-
line members of the family never to wipe
o razor on q towel. The damage done
often does not show at the time. but il
apparen. after the towel is washed.
