vice that may be easily made and one
which she will greatly appreciate as
"a Christmas present.:
First take an oblong piece OF wood
nine inches long and about one and
three-quarters wide. The wood should
be half an inch thick, 80 that the peg

cherry stain and varnish.
Now select narrow oblong paste
board box, fill 1t with bran for the
cushion, and stretch a cover OF cotton
goods over 1t, letting the cotton pass
under the box at sides and ends, and
sewing 1t strongly. A silk or bright
colored wooden cover is put over this
and the cushion Is finished with a
frill of lace or ribbon.
Glue the box cushion on the wooden
base. Whenever grandma has a GER
tain piece of sewing to do, some pair
of bright eyes can fit up the cushion
with paper Of needles the desired
size, threaded with the silk or thread
grandma wishes to use, without break
ing the thread.
The needles are placed in an even
row in the cushion. Be sure the needle
eyes are all crosswise of the cushion,

IN THE HOUSEHOLD
LITTLE THINGS OF MORE OR
LESS IMPORTANCE.
Stained Wood Many Degrees Better
Than Painted-New Ways Of Pre-
pairing corn-How Red Ants
Can BE Extermlnated.

II you are building house, don't
spoil your wood work by painting 1t.
The natural grain In wood Is too beau
tful to be covered and odd effects
In staining have taken the place of
paint. Stain Is very thin paint, and
contains no varnish. Many of the
stains sold in the stores are apt to
contain varnish, and they do not sink
Into the wood enough to bring out
the beautiful grain. Stain can be
used with best effect on new wood.
Some of the most attractive living
rooms have the wood work stained
forest-green, old blue, or silver-gray.
Do not let the painter convince you
that the wood work will look better
painted. Some the woods that take
stain well are oak, cypress, Georgia
pine, and birch. In some country
houses the furniture is ordered from
the factory in an unfinished condition,
and Is then stained at home by some
one who understands this work.
Some housekeepers think corn Is
much better II boiled in the husk.
Open the husks, remove the silk, re-
place them and tie together at the
top. Then boil in the ordinary way.
Corn is sometimes baked in this way
in the oven and has slight flavor
of roasting. II, however, real roast
ed corn is desired, put 1t on broiler,
after taking it from the oven and re-
moving the husks,. Turn it several
times over the hot Goals until it Is
lightly Drowned. Butter each ear and
serve on hot plate.
A good sandwich filling Is made
from one-half cupful Of tender celery
cut fine, one-fourth cupful chopped
pecan or English walnuts, one-half
tablespoonful of mayonnaise dressing
and little salt. Mix them and
spread between thin slices Of white
or glutin bread.
Red ants are hard to get rid of. 1t
Is said that pieces of cloth saturated
with oil of sassafras and laid on the
shelves of the pantry will drive them
away. II one does not get the de-
sired result with the first application,
follow with several more. 1t Is also
said that salt or cloves will prove
effectual. While one family were abb
sent this summer red ants got into
the refrigerator. After they gave the
refrigerator a thorough drenching
with boiling water, and the casters
were placed in small receptacles con-
tanning kerosene, the ants disap-
peared. BY putting cup of lard or
any other cold grease In your pantry
or refrigerator, one can soon find out
If red ants are still there. They In
variably crawl into the fat, and 1t 10

sUMPTuoUs REPAsT OF
HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Tastes Of Our Ancestors Seem to
Have Been for Heavy Dishes
and Many Of Them.

At Thanksgiving time so much Is
heard Of old-fashioned dinners that 1t
may be interesting to readers to hear
what the term signified in Philadel-
phia some years ago.
About 30 years ago a large dinner
was very different to what 1t is now.
In the first place courses, such as we
know them, were practically unknown;
even in the wealthiest houses there
was rarely anything but soup proceed
ing the actual dinner, but this soup
was generally very rich.
Such dinner consisted about as
follows: First handsome silver-cov-
cred soup tureen was placed on the
table, filled with mock turtle or per-
haps venison soup, and all were
plentifully helped, the great silver
ladle, corresponding to the tureen,
doing good service. After the soup
plates were removed great roast
turkey decked with celery and cram
berries and marvelously trussed and
dressed was placed at one end of the
table while at the other was a large
piece of la mode beef on a platter.
Roast duck and apple sauce some
times took the place of a la mode
beef but the two ends of the table
had always their respective meats or
poultry. Sweet and white potatoes
and every sort of vegetable to be had
obtained place on the festive board,
while cunning molds of cranberries
and jellies and gravies, pickles and
the like were in abundance.
There was generally what was
known as an oyster pie"-stewed
oysters served in a puff-paste shell,
the rich dressing of the oysters be-
ing made thick with egg.
There was no salad course, but of
desserts there was no dearth. Pump
kin pie, mince pie, and always won
derfully constructed meringue and
either jelly or custard, sometimes
both, served in glasses, while plates
and nutcrackers were handed around
for the nuts.
THE centerpiece was invariably
great pyramid Of fruits arranged on
a cut-glass or Dresden china epergne,
and, when tho table was very long,
there were sometimes two of these
fruit pyramids.
A little later, after the guests had
adjourned to the drawing-room, coffee,
ices and fancy cakes were served to
them there. There were no little
after-dinner coffee cups in those days,
but generous breakfast sizes Of finest
French eggshell china, often exquisite
ly handpainted with landscapes or
picked out in gold.
When there was large party of
young people, separate table was
set for them in the small library,
which in those days, was generally
built back of the dining-room, the
latter being in the back building of
the second floor, corresponding to the
library or sitting room Of to-day.
The back parlor" was used only as
such then or as breakfast room, the
state dining-room being invariably
upstairs. and sometimes there was
not even a duIIb-waiter to assist IN
carrying things up from the kitchen
below, so that large dinner was no
easy matter to serve in those days of
large families and lavish hospitality.

tie Easy to Smooth Ribbons.

Ribbons will become creased In
spite of the best care, and a hot fat

a smooth quart bottle and fill with

paper smoothly around the bottle,
wrap the ribbon around the paper per-

another paper around this and pin
In place.
Set 1t aside day and night and the

eayberrles for Thanksgiving Candles.

Bayberries for Thanksgiving Candles.
The revival of many an old time In
dustry has brought into vogue the
bayberry candle. beloved of our grand
mothers, and here and there along
country byways men and women may
now be found garnering the aromatic
berries. which some enterprising wom-
an has engaged to make into candles,
says the Providence Daily Journal.
1t requires a quart OF berries to
make one candle. They should be
kept in a dry place till ready to use,
then put into preserve kettle, allow
ing two quarts of water to one OF
berries. They should be boiled for
four hours, filling up the kettle with
hot water as 1t boils away. Then set
1t back where 1t will simmer a while
and at night set away to cool. In the
morning the wax will have formed In
a large cake on top Of the water, and
after melting and straining through a
piece of fine lawn or cheesecloth 1t Is
ready to pour into the candle molds.
These candles give out sweet, aro-
matte odor, which perfumes the room.
