COwpeas for Table Use.

Experiments recently made at the
University of Tennessee under the aus
pices of the Department of Agriculture
have shown that whatever may be claim
ed for beans may be claimed equally
for cowpeas. The cowpea, says the re-
port, has a distinctive and pleasing fla
vor and can be prepared for the table
in a great many appetiZing ways and
compared favorably with other legumes
in respect to both nutritive value and
digestibility. Tne cowpea deserves to
be more generally known and used as
staple food throughout the United
States for both it's high food value and
for the additional variety in the diet
which it would help to secure. It is
reasonable in price and could undoubt-
edly be grown in quantities sufficient to
meet any demand.
Anyone who has ever eaten the deli
cate favored rice or lady peas must con-
cede that none of the legumes ~surpass
them in palatability, and in this con-
nection we quote a paragraph from a
letter written by "Pearl NJ one of our
we'll known Home Circle writer's, who
says:
Il will tell you how we cook cowpeas
and like them as we'll as any bean.
Cook in earthen ware, never in iron; boil
while and pour the water off; rinse
well, and put on again Tor the second
cooking, with plenty of meat for season
ing. They are first-class cooked this
way."-Coleman's Rural World.

The Greatest Utility Breed of the

colors take salt, the darker vinegar. Both
are used in the proportion of table
spoonful to q quart of water. When
in doubt use both. For lilac, mauve or
purples, vinegar will be found to slightly
intensity as we'll as preserve the color.
Blues are often ruined by their first
trip to careless laundress. Any shade
of blue may be permanently fixed by
soaking first in a bucket of water, into
which an ounce of sugar of lead has
been poured.
If one wants suit stiff it should be
dried before starching-but in the shade,
never in the sun, as colored clothes are
sure to fade while wet, on the same
principle that one bleaches white gar
ments in strong sunshine. They should,
of course, never be boiled. Pale green
is a color that fades easily, but a little
alum in the rinsing water will fix it.
Tussore and other wasing silks are
so easy to wash and iron, requiring no
starch, that they are very practical for
summer outings where there is a diff
Guilty in getting regular laundry work
satisfactorily done. One can wash and
iron three or four little girls tussore
dresses in half an hour, oneself, at a
pinch, if they are ironed while wet.
White wash silk waists are useful in
the same way, making it easy to have
supply of fresh waists, independent of
delayed laundry bundles.

Washing Colored Dresses.

1t is all important now that anything
to be of service must be made with due
regard to laundering, and that every one
should know how to give explicit di-
rections to the laundress. Take, for
instance, jumper suit in tobacco brown
linen or boys Russian suit in the same
color; after being washed with pure
white soap and having salt in the last
running water, the starch should be mix
ed with boiling coffee previously strain
ed) instead of water, or it will leave
white streaks and smudges over the sur
face.
For suit: take tablespoonful of
starch, one-half teaspoonful of boiling
water), quarter of an inch of yellow
candle, and mix into smooth paste.
with two tablespoonfu1s of cold water.
add enough boiling coffee to make stiff
jelly.
For ordinary hot water starch these
are the correct proportions, using boiling
water in place of the coffee While tan
linen does not require special coddling.
still some shades of buff and gray are
liable to spot and streak. To obviate
this, use a tablespoonful of black pepper
in the first water; this will also keep
them from fading, says the Housekeep-
or.
Most colors require either salt or vine
gar in the last rinsing water to fix
them; as general rule the lighter

speak and when to be silent. But while
they are in the earliest years their little
minds should not be unduly burdened,
nor should they hear at any time un-
kind comments on relatives or friends.
Reticence where criticism is concerned
should certainly be the rule. A child
is sometimes heard gravely repeating
family affairs that her mother would
not parade before strangers. In her
experience the little one does not know
that she is committing an error. She
likes to be important. The wish to be
interesting, to tell a good story, to
awaken a sensation is by no means con-
fined to grown people. Children share
it. When they are in the room the
conversation should not be about topics
either unfit for their hearing or unfit
for their repeating.-Christian Intelli-
gencer.

Talking Before Children.

No thoughtful mother believes in eau
tioning children not to tell what they
hear at home and not to repeat family
secrets. Affairs that are not to be men
toned should not be discussed with free
dom in the presence of children. There
are topics in plenty which are appropri-
ate in the family circle. The moment
the element of secrecy enters and child
rem are cautioned that what they hear
must not go farther there enter at once
two unfortunate elements in juvenile
education. One is the element of curl
osity, the other of furtiveness.
We desire children to be entirely frank
and open in their intercourse with 9th
ers, to have no secrets and to tell the
absolute truth so far as they know it
whenever they speak. Their own ex-
perience of life as they approach matur-
ity will gradually show them when to

When to Clean the Teeth.

If the teeth are to get but one thorough
cleaning during the day, just before re-
tiring is the best time to give it to
them, as there are six or eight hours
during sleep that the salivary glands
are inactive, and fatty and starchy foods
that may be lodged between and around
the teeth are not bathed in saliva, a
partial digestive fluid, undergo decom-
position, forming acids which are more
or less readily on the tooth structure
at the time of it's formation. The
salivary glands not active during sleep,
acids are not diluted, as during day; a
free flow of saliva prevents to great
degree the deleterious effects of acids
thus formed-Medical Summary.

For Tender Feet.

If your feet are inclined to- be tender,
powder the inside of your stockings with
boracic powder. Boracic lamentations
are excellent FOR tender toe-ioints and
bunions, and are made by dissolving an
ounce of boracic powder in boiling water,
and saturating a piece of lint with this
when cold. The lint is laid on the joint,
and piece of oiled silk laid over to
prevent evaporation, and the whole ban
daged to keep in lace-Exchange

How to Do Things.

How to Do Things.
Under this heading the Farm Journal
prints a number of short paragraphs,
some of which you may find useful.
The temporary refrigerator might be
very desirable at times, but we should
object to it's being kept in the same
room with the invalid.
The omelet pan must never be washed
or scratched in any way. It should be
used only for omelets. When done with,
rub we'll inside and out with pieces of
soft paper till clean, then rub with
dry cloth.
When making cake always remem-
ber that the sugar and the butter should
be beaten to a cream, then the beaten
yolks of the eggs added, then the milk,
next the flavor, the beaten whites, and
lastly the flour and baking powder.
Housekeepers should keep box where
the paraffine which is removed from the
top of home made jelly can be placed
Servants usually throw away this
paraffine, but if saved, it can be washed,
melted and used on the jelly glasses
in the fall.
Having more tomatoes ripe at once
than I could can with my preserving
kettle, [ filled large stone jar with
them, after they were peeled and cut
up, set the jar in the oven and let them
cook nearly a day, then sealed them up
in jars. They kept perfectly and had
an excellent flavor.
Things are often put into cupboard
in such a way that everything has to
be sorted over when any one thing is
needed. Put the tin kettle covers in
one place, the basins in another, the
baking tins in another, and so on. Hit
or miss is all right sometimes, but when
there is more miss than hit it doesn't
pay.
A wash boiler, or other tin box, an
swers for a temporary refrigerator in
a sick ROOM Fasten strings to the
corners of a piece of flannel and spread
it in the top of boiler, tying the strings
under the bottom to hold it in place.
Lay the ice on this, crushing it first,
if needed; spread another piece of flannel
over it and put on the lid. Bottles of
milk or drinking water may be slipped
under the flannel in the bottom, or laid
with the ice on top.
For tangle-foot fly paper mix equal
parts of resin and castor oil with dash
of sugar to tempt the flies Spread on
heavy paper and leave a margin for
handling. For poison fly paper, pour
three quarts of water on a pound of
quassia wood and allow it to stand over
night. Strain and boil the fluid down
to one quart. Put a quart of water on
the same wood and boil until the water
is reduced to pint and mix the two
infusions. In this dissolve from eight
to twelve ounces of brown sugar. Pass
any absorbtive paper through this fluid
drain and dry it and it is prepared for
use. Thin blotting paper is good kind
to hold the poison. A small piece of
this paper placed in a saucer and cover
ed with water will prove an effective
fly destroyer.

Canned Chicken.

My wife makes the best canned
chicken you ever ate. She takes nicely
dressed chickens, cuts them up and puts
them into the kettle and stews them
down, and seasons them to taste, just
as if she were going to have them for
dinner that day, only she doesn't. After
they are we'll cooked, she gets two-quart
glass fruit jars, takes the tops off, and
