HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

A rice kettle to boil rice perfectly has
an inner basket with very close mesh
The rice washed in several waters is
placed in the basket, and this is plunged
into boiling water, where the rice cooks
without danger of burning. When the
water boils away, the rice still cooks in
the steam.

THE sTALL-LEss STABLE.
Farmer Wise and How He Decided
to Build a Cow Stable Without
Stalls or Fastenings.

All through the pleasant fall wealth.
er Mr.. Wise and his two sons MIXED
their ten cows apiece, sometimes out
in the lot, but on rainy days in the
old barn, where the cows were led in
and turned loose singly. They did not,
wait for winter to force upon them the
need for better protection, but began
making plans for a new dairy barn
even before the 20 head Of grades and
the three thoroughbreds weres added
to their former herd of seven, who
were mainly of that breed known az
''just cow"
They had talked COW stable until
they had well-nigh exhausted the sub.
iect. Every variety of COW stall and
tie. was considered. Some were too
cumbersome and expensive. The rigid
stanchion was discarded. as it pre-
vented freedom of movement. None
was entirely satisfactory.
One evening early in October the
old man looked up from his paper and
said: "see here, boys, l think I've
struck just the thing. Here is q de.
scription of stall-less stable, where
the cows move about at liberty. No
ties, no stalls, no cement floors, no
daily cleaning out of cutters, no waste
of liquid manure. no labor required in
fastening or christening; and last.
and best, no dirty cows
Il think you left out one no." re.
marked the elder boy. "Such plan
as that means mo horns.'"
"Of course" replied the father.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.
The World Judges by Ones Manner
The Duty Of Steady Cheer
fulness Emphasized.

Like the clothes you wear. your at
titude toward the world and the persons
with whom you come in contact are all
that most people will judge you by. Your
voice, your speech, your carriage all
count, not only when you are at church,
Or attending some social event when
you are on your good behavior" but al
ways!
Your surly manner and swapping re-
plies may have developed through a
wish on your part to correct the other
misunderstanding, too much
trustfulness, easy riendliness-inherit-
ances which may be yours from early
training in some country home or in the
south. Some OF the gruffest business
men are, as the saying goes, the best
hearted" but they have learned that it
is not safe to give that impression and
they err on the other side.
Or the general stupidity of things
may constantly irritate you as in the
case of one famous English novelist
whose Miniature is proverbial, when the
fact is his over-intelligence is always
being offended as he pictures others as
having the same air-audient mental out
at that he possesses.
But, whatever cause irritability
comes from. it has no excuse. Even ill
ness must be borne bravely by the sane
human. The ugly temper is one of the
first steps toward the unbalanced mind;
1t tends to the great mass of wasted
energy that retards the wheels of life
when smiles and pleasant manner
cause existence to move on rubber tires.

handsome embroidery on long coats
for infants and on short ones for three
year-olds. In all the fine slips appear
pointed yokes-dear, tiny little affairs,

embroidery and tuclls. These pointed
yokes-sometimes one point, some

HINTS ON IRONING.
Explicit Directions About Polishing
and a.Word Of Warning in Re-
gard to Thorough Drying.

Starched linen should be polished BE-
fore airing. When plainly ironed lay
the article on the table right side up, and
rub over smoothly with damp rag.
Take bright and well-heated polisher,
or CLOSING iron, and rub over the surface
to be polished, leaning heavily, rubbing
backward and forward over small sur
face till the desired brightness is OBJ
tanned.
Coarse or inferior linen does not pol
ish we'll, but the finer the linen the more
brilliant the gloss. The polisher must
be very hot, but should be tested before
using, as the heat is not so readily de-
tected on the rounded surface, and it
may be hotter than was thought. The
polishing need not be done directly after
ironing. The linen will polish days after
if required.
But of all the different stages
through which our linen has to pass
this last, but not by any means least,
tant.
Of what avail is spotless, beautifully
got-up linen, with all the time and
care spent on it, if the finishing proc
ess is not done thoroughly? If this
process is neglected it may cause very
serious results. and even endanger lives.
Perhaps some may think that write
strongly when I say lives are risked;
but not bit too strong, for damp cloth
ing brought into contact with the heat
OF the body causes steam, and then what
is the result? Severe colds, with their
manifold attendant evils in the shape
OF rheumatic fever, etc. II possible the
clothes should be toasted and turned in
front of good lasting fire; If not, they
should be hung up in warm room.
On very warm, sunny days this airing
may be done out of doors, care being
taken that the clothes are brought in
before the dew begins to fall.
