Tortoise Surprised the Cook.

The tortoise is great sleeper. One was a domestic pet in an English house and when his time for hiber- mating came he selected a corner of the dim coal cellar for his winter quarters. A new cook was engaged soon after who knew nothing of tor toises In a few months the tortoise woke up and sallied forth Screams soon broke the kitchens calm. On entering that department, the lady of the house found the cook gazing in awestruck wonder, and exclaiming with unsteady hand she pointed to the tortoise: My conscience! Look at the stone which I've broken the coal wi a winter?"

-Mr5: HHes/erI Curry

A nervous, irritabl mother, often on the verge of mysteries, is unfit to care for children; it ruins child's disposi- tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly.
 The ills of women act like firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, ner- vous despondency, " the blues," sleep lessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some Arrangement of the female organism.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying?
 Do you feel something like a ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound :: pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy?
 If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition. and you are threatened with nervous prostration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra- tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound; thousands and thou sands of women can testify to this fact.

LITTLE POINTERS THAT ARE OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Grape Juice a Pleasant Winter Drink l and Easily Made-Rue from 1 Bits of Colored Silks
 and Ribbon.

X 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 eoot until the grapes are broken up. Strain twice, once through cheese cloth, and once through aannel. 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. mixture of two 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 to prepare and seasonable just now is baked to- matoes. For this dish select six large, smooth. ripe, and round tomatoes. Put them in baking pan 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; a quarter of green pep per, and half teaspoonful of onion juice. Fill the tomatoes with the mix ture. replace the little lids, and bake for about three-quarters of an hour. Serve with garnish of parsley.
 Probably everybody knows that fery pretty rugs can be made from bits of eolored silks and ribbon, but in case some one has a lot of pieces and does not know what to do with them, we make this suggestion. Se- leet only bits of harmonizing shades, pink and brown, red and dull green and black. yellow and dark green, pur pie, black and cream color. and cut the pieces into strips of even width, seN1AS lH6 eHuo lOStlACA III my ANOAh into sballs and send them to a 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 couch-cover will be the reward of a little patience and very little expendi- tdre-
 The walls of kitchen should be of vanished or painted plaster, or GOV cred with heavy glazed paper such as arc 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 narrow baseboard, fitting tightly so that no cracks can admit objectionable visitors from the peighboring flats. Floors should be covered with a 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 of.
 Plenty of shelves and drawers, or patent kitchen cabinet are great helps to the woman whose time is spent in cooking.
