Enormous Sums Of Money Can Be

nothing, though, beside the cost OF

talent for art became pronounced, ana
he developed considerable ability with
his pencil, achieving quite good dea,
of success as an artist later in life.
He was undoubtedly most ene.-
getic and Industrious boy, for at tbs
age of 81 he had succeeded in saving
from his earnings enough money to
buy a little farm for his widowed
mother, which would insure her moo
est living.
Then did the young art enthusiast
satisfy his great desire. He went
abroad to study under the direction of
Benjamin West, who, like Fulton, was
Pennsylvania, and who at that
time was enjoying well-deserved
celebrity in Europe.
But Robert Fulton soon gave up the
study of art for that of civil engineer,
1t was at about tn $ time that the
young man conceived the idea that
steam could be used as a motor for
the propelling of vessels.
To the Earl of Stanhope he wrote
in 1893 laying forth his plan. The
earIs answer is given below valuable
for the fact that it proves the date
when Robert Fulton gave his atten.
ton to steam:
Sir: | have received yours Of the
30th of September, in which you pro
pose to communicate 20 me the prin-
ciplcs of an invention which you say
you have discovered respecting the
moving of ships by steam. l shall be
glad to receive the communication,
which you intend, as | have made the
principles of mechanics my particular
study"
In 1901 Fulton had broughs his sub
marine boat to state of perfection,
according to a report made by the
French government, which has not
since been equaled.

This all happened about five year!

Say, he was the man to run an acid

works for II years running, and there
wasn't one fault found with him by
the boss or by the men, which is just
about as important, IL not a little bit
more so.
One day, about two weeks after the
death of Otis, the boss turned up with

AROUND THE HOUSE
LITTLE POINTERS THAT ARE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.
Grape Juice a Pleasant Winter Drink
and Easily Made--Ru9 from
Bits of Colored Silks
and Ribbon.

A pleasant winter drink is grape
Juice, which can be easily made at
home for very much less than is
charged in the shops. To make a
drink that will keep for two years in
a dark place, add one quart Of water
to three quarts Of picked grapes and
cook until the grapes are broken up.
Strain twice, once through cheese
cloth, and once through flannel Add
sufficient sugar and boil, being careful
not to make too sweet a syrup; one or
two cupfuls Of sugar to two gallons
of juice should suffice, according to
the flavor OF the fruit. Bottle it hot
and seal securely. A mixture of tSo
or more kinds Of grapes gives the
best result, Delaware and Niagara,
and Catawba, Niagara and Concord
being excellent combinations. A
quart can be made for as low as ten
cents, If the fruit is bought when it
is at bottom price. and preserved
quickly
An entree which is easy 10 prepare
and seasonable just now is baked to-
matoes. For this dish select six large,
Put them in a baking pa1. with the
stems down. Cut a thin slice from
the smooth end of each, and take out
as much pulp as possible without
spelling the firmness and shape. Mix
the pulp and juice with bread crumbs,
a little chopped meat-ham or lamb
or chicken is the best--salt, pepper,
little butter. quarter Of a green pep
per, and half a teaspoOnful Of onion
juice. Fill the tomatoes with the mix
ture, replace the little lids, and bake
for about three-quartels of an hour.
Serve with garnish OF parsley.
Probably everybody knows that
very pretty rugs can be made from
bits of colored silks and ribbon, but
in case some one has lot of pieces
and does not know what to do with
them, we make this suggestion. Sc
lect only bits Of harmonizing shades,
pink and brown, red and dull green
and black, yellow aud dark green, pur.
pie, black and cream color, and cut
the pieces into strips of even width,
sewing the ends together firmly. Roll
into balls and send them to weaver
OF carpets with instructions not to
use any discordant color for binding
them together. You will be surprised
at the soft, artistic effect Of old
scraps. A really charming portiere or
will be the reward of a
little patience and very little expendi
ture.
The walls of Kitchen should be OF
vanished or painted plaster. or COW
cred with heavy glazed paper such
as are used in bathrooms. A wains'
cot OF tiles or vanished wood saves
the plaster where it is likely to get
many knocks, and should be protect
ed at the base by a narrow Dashboard,
fitting tightly SO that no cracks can
admit Objectionable visitors from the
flats. Floors should be
covered with good linoleum, unless
the architect has put in tiles, which
are the ideal flooring. A painted wood
surface would be satisfactory If it did
not need constant renewing, as the
use of scrubbing brushes and soap
soon washes it off.
Plenty of shelves and drawers, or a
patent kitchen cabinet are great helps
to the woman whose time is spent in
cooking.
