WHEN MOUNTING SEAWEEDS
Arrange the Seaweed on the Paper IN
der Water, Making Use of Cam
el's Hair Brush.

To prepare seaweeds for mounting,
float each specimen on the surface of
a bowl of water, and then slip under
it the paper on which it is to be
mounted. If the paper is not stiff, it
may be held with a piece of glass I'M
der it, or piece of perforated tin,
to allow the water to drain through.
Arrange the seaweed on the paper
under water, using a camels hair
brush, and cut away with pair of
scissors any unnecessary parts.
This having been done carefully,
lift out paper and weed together, lay
the paper on piece of blotting paper,
put piece of linen over the weed, on
top of that piece of blotting paper,
and then put under pressure as d.
rected in handling the other speci-
mems, leaving them for four or five
days to get thoroughly dry. You may
change the plotting paper, and use it
again after drying.
Most seaweeds will adhere to the
paper of themselves, but some speci-
mems will require little mucilage.
A herbarium started in this way
will give great pleasure to the collec-
tor, and it may be added to year after
year, not even despising the pretty
wild flowers that may be found in
every part of the country.

HINTS TO HousEKEEPERs.

In making fruit pie be sure to have
a small opening in the center of the
crust, and keep it clear with an earth
enware or paper funnel.
In cases of Inflammation of the stom-
ach and bowels, try cloths wrung out
of hot water in which a tablespoonful
of turpentine has been put.
AS canvas shoes can now be had in
different colors to match the dress,
preparation can be bought, pink, blue,
red, gray, and black, as well as white,
for cleaning and retinting when the
shoes become soiled or faded.
The little red blood veins which
sometimes show in the face are often
caused by exposure of the skin to
strong cold winds. Applications of
warm wet cloths until the skin feels
soft, and gentle rubbing with good
cold cream, into which little distilled
witch hazel has been beaten, will rem.
edy the trouble.
If alum is added to the paste used
in covering boxes with paper or muslin
moth and mice will avoid them.
If hooks for bathroom kitchen and
pantry are dipped in enamel paint
there will be no trouble from iron rust.
If candles in warm weather are kept
in the refrigerator for two or three
days they will not burn away so quick
ly when they come to be used
Cold asparagus placed on crisp let
tuce leaves and covered with mayon-
naise or French dressing is now a
popular and refreshing salad
When the collar of handsome linen
or batiste blouses becomes slightly
soiled, 1t may be cleaned with little
naphtha or benzine in the same man
ner as those of silk or satin With
this process the collar does not need
pressing. Such waists never look as
handsome after they are laundered.
To freshen stale rolls, wrap them in
a wet napkin and place in the oven
until the napkin is dry. Another way
is to wrap them in a dry napkin and
place in a steamer, over boiling water
Do not let the rolls get too damp
Cake may be freshened in either OF
these ways.
When tired physically stop work, il
only for few minutes, and throw
yourself fiat on your back on couch
bed or floor, if nothing else is handy
and rest so for five or ten minutes
every muscle relaxed, the eyes lazily
closed, and the mind resting dreamily
with the body. Such rest, if taken
before you are completely exhausted
by your work, will send you back with
fresh vigor and renewed courage, as
well as rested and refreshed body
and brain.

Some BrIef BlooraphlcaI Notes.

A man out in Rochester, Ia, says
Sarah Bernhard was born in this
country, lived here until young
woman and that she has relatives in
a number of American cities This
is quite true and it's surprising that
1t should create any comment, re-
marks the Pittsburg Press. Sarah
was born in New York state and UNI
ill FIVE or six years old was playmate
of Tsi Ann, the empress dowager Of
China, whose folks ran laundry in
the same block The Togos and Ro-
jestvenskys lived just around the cor
ner and all the members of the four
families were close friends. Sarah did
not appear first in Uncle Toms Cab.
In" but in German comedy written
by a descendant of William Shakes

Needed RIoht Now.

A popular article of household furni-
ture among Americans in the Philip
pines is said to be the "refrigerating
stove" This stove is designed to keep
people cool instead of hot, explains
the New York Press. Just as we heat
our houses in the states in winter
with coal stoves, so the wanderer who
has set up housekeeping in the Philip
pines cools his house with cold
stove. The cold stoves are made to
look something like an ordinary stove.
and, being fed with ammonia and
chemicals, give out radiations of cold
waves instead of heat. One can inn
agine a family gathering around the
refrigerating stove for GOODNESS on a
hot night in the Philippines just as
on cold night in the states they had
been accustomed to gather around the
parlor stove for warmth.
