The Modern Kitchen.

The kitchen must be we'll ventilated
lighted and fitted with perfect cooking
apparatus, whether coal, gas, or cleo
tricity.
Proper plumbing and drainage are
important, both for health and con-
venience sake, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
A wainscoting of tile, with wall
above painted dull blue or gray, is
the most durable and easily cared
for finish for the kitchen, and also the
cheapest in the end, as it seldom re-
quires renovation other than that of
washing down.
An expensive and Invaluable ap.
pointment is the "hot metal table,
which is constructed in a manner to
be heated by pipes which are laid
back and forth under its bed and in
connection with the range boiler the
water turned off and on at pleasure.
Different sizes render this table avail
able in kitchens of various sizes.
The kitchen should be without
odols, by virtue OF range hood which
gathers them.

Laundry Notes.

Never put table linen that is fruit.
stained into hot soapsuds. This sets
and fixes the stain.
Embroidered linens should not be
washed in tin or wooden tubs. All
risk of rust or stain may be avoided
by using an earthen bowl
Flatiron holders, if lined with a
layer of old, soft leather. like the top
of boot, will protect your hand from
heat far better than if made in the Or
binary way.
Wooden laundry tubs should be
washed OUT and dried If they are
kept in very dry place, they should
be turned upside down and the bot
toms covered with a little water.
To prevent blue spotting the clothes
put some out on piece of white cloth,
gather up the corners and tie together,
Dip this bag in the water and squeeze
1t until the water is blue enough. In
this way the clothes will never be-
come spotted.

Cheese Squares-Cover the top OF
sailed crackers with finely grated to-
mato ketchup in the centre of each

quick oven until the cheese is melted
and the crackers crisp. Serve hot.
Hermit's Kisses-Beat together four
ounces of butter, four ounces of pow.
dered sugar, two eggs. two teaspoon
fuls of milk and ten drops of vanilla
essence. Gradually sift in ten ounces
of -four in which teaspoonful of bak-

together, then dip out the dough by
teaspoonfuls and drop on buttered
tin Sprinkle with sugar and bake for
ten minutes.
Citron Cakes-Six eggs, one-half
pound of butter, one-half pound of
sugar creamed with the butter, three
quarters pound of -four, a little flaw.

SELLING Paper for Tea.

Druggists, grocers and butchers
sometimes include with the merchan.
disc which they sell the weight of the
paper used for wrapping The Gus
tom is so common that it rarely at
tracts attention, and it can hardly be
regarded as dishonest. However, a
British official, in a public address in
London, declared not long ago that
purchasers of one pound of tea often
received only 10 IL ounces, the re
naming half ounce being represented
by paper and string.
While this deficiency was insignif-
cant in the individual case, yet in the
aggregate such shortage came to an
enormous total. In the year 1903 the
amount of tea on which an import
duty was paid in the United Kingdom
was 254, 4S2'407 pounds. Reckoning
the deficiency to the purchaser at
percent, this would mean that 259,-
572,055 pounds of tea were sold to
purchasers, showing that 5,0S9,64S
pounds of paper and string had been
disposed of as tea This practically
means that the tea seller-not the pa.
per maker, of course-gets from Is,
Cd. upwards pound for the paper he
handles.

Glass Tops for Tables,

In her dressing room and on her pet
afternoon tea table Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt is using an idea she gather
ed from her hair dresser. The en-
broidered cloths spread over dressing
and tea tables are covered with sheets
of the clearest plate glass. cut to fit
the table tops exactly The advantage
of the glass cover, which Mrs. Wander
bilt was quick to take in at a glance,
is that one may use the costliest lace
embroidered spreads for months at a
time without having their freshness
spoiled by dust or running the danger
of having them spoiled at the cleaners.
The cover also prevents the cloths
from being stained by water,
cologne, hair tonic or the rings made
by wet bottles. In the case of the tea
table, the kettle might sputter. the al
cohol run over, or wet saucer might
be put down on the glass top, and yet
the embroidered cloth beneath would
not be spotted in the slightest. Any
woman can try this, for glass is cheap.

White Seroe VERY Smart.

White serge is restored to the highest

The fashion of wearing colored shirt
waists, no matter how delicate the
afnt, with white skirts, is not approved,
a tinted waist may be worn with a
white coat suit and is considered a
higher touch of fashion than the all
white suits.
The one dominant thing about shirt
waists, whether for wear at o'clock
In the morning or 4 in the afternoon,
is their transparency.
Bo'inette has come into favor for
chr waists. 1t is double width and

Where cloth-lined carriages and up
holstered furniture are to be left for
the summer, brush well, especially
about the tufted portions, then spray
generously with naphtha or benzine,
using if you like, a small sprinkler
such as is used for house plants.
Neither naphtha nor benzine will spot
the most delicate fabrics, and the odor
will pass in a few hours. OF course,
every one should understand that no
light, even from pipe or cigar, should
be allowed while this work is going
on, as the vapor from these fluids is
exceedingly infammable For car
riages it is well to repeat the spray
ing again in August. After furniture
has been well sprayed, wrap the legs
with soft paper and old muslin and
cover the upholstered portions with
tar paper then old muslin which has
pieces Of camphor gum tied in at in
rvals.-Newayk Advertiser.
