HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
How Go Save by Judicious and Eco
nomicsI Buying.

honhicHh Eoytn&
Careful purchasing Of household ne
cessities is one half the secret Of econ
omy, while careful use OF the article
bought is the other half Economy in
buying consists in the perfect adapts-
ton OF the purchase to the purse and
needs OF the family.
First.-The article should be worth the
amount asked for it-that is. its intrin-
! sic value should be such that as prices
| average, you are getting the full worth
OF your money. II 1t is an article for
the table il should he in good condition
TO use and Of good weight and meas
ure Nothing is worth buying at all
that is half spoiled or that will not
wear well in proportion TO Its cost. II
for personal or housekeeping purposes.
its quality should be the best to be OBJ
tanned for the price.
Second.-The article should supply a
genuine need. The need may not be
immediate, but IL should be both pos
sible and probable. Many things can
be purchased by watching the sales
between seasons, when rather than
keep them over the shopkeepers are
willing TO sell even below cost But
only standard goods should be bought
in this way. Many persons have a
mania for buying everything they see
that is cheap. and then perhaps they
never use it. Food. clothing and house
hold articles are often accumulated
without regard to quantity. and then
changing fashion makes them worth
less, this being especially so with or
namental things. Buy OF such only
what you actually need.
In purchasing for the table a list
should be made out the day before
and looked over the next morning. In
buying groceries a list Is indispensable
II one would buy cheaply-have just
enough and do not forget at the critical
moment just how much is really re-
quired.
And when one does not go to market
every day. and few do. few minutes
spent IN seeing how much Is OF hand
that can be used and a short menu
OF the meals on the next two or three
days made Is time well spent. for I'm
this way a lot Of perishablo stun would
not be ordered. but. say. roast, with
| possibilities OF cold meat and rissoles
or stew. or some other piece Of meat
that can be utilized In several ways.
and vegetables which win keep at least
three days. One can easily learn to
market for three and four days at a

meat be given you. and get a couple OF
knee Joints Of beef and one OF veal
at the same time. These make the
finest stock. anu from that hundreds

How 90 ZEN Good Fru,,

Some OF the signs by which to tell
good fruit anu vegetables are here in
dictated, says the Washington Star.
Oranges are sound and juicy when
heavy, but not too hard. Radishes and
turnips when spongy are not fit to
eat Pineapples are best when the
edges Of the top are smooth; In inferior
qualities the tops are OF the saw edged
variety. Celery is good when 1t breaks
without much bending. Aspara gus
should be quite stiff. Nuts cannot be
Judged very correctly until they are
opened, but they should be of good
weight and not too hard to crack.
