He must stop cloud-gaping or learn

Celery Tons,

Never throw away your celery tops,
except those that have turned yellow
or that are decaying. Keep all the
leaves to put in the soup or dry them
and use as flayoring. A little soup
stock and a leftover steak bone, to-
gether with the leaves of head of
celery, make excellent soup when
boiled down.

Everything Bad.


A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
In southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad.
and it was necessary to finish the
journey in a buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, hopping
his face with red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
"You live here, I suppose?'
"Yep."
''How's crops?'
Fair to middlin'.'
"That's bad hill you're plowing."
Il know it. Bad boss, pullin' tn
pillow, bad pillow, bad everything"
"Why, you talk like you were the
poorest man in Arkansas" laughed the
planter.
Il amt, though" was the response,
as the young fellow smiled good
naturally. Another Teller owns half

CARE OF TA1CEllNEN.
One Great Mistake That 10 Made by
Some Housewives.

IT matters not how neatly one may
have the table arranged, If the table
linen Is not spotlessly white the ap-
pearance is marred by the defect.
Care must be taken of fine table linen
or it soon gets the yellow dip" 40
much dreaded by careful housewives.
The first mistake is made by throw:
ing the tablecloth in the laundry bag
with napkins which are darp, and
they always are when the finger bowls
are used. Each piece should he dried
and stains removed before placing it
away for washing. To properly wash
them they cannot be made pure and
white If placed in with other clothes.
This Is warning to heed Soak the
linen In tepid water for three-quatters
OF an hour, and always wiring the
pieces by hand, for wringer creases do
not come out at times even under a
heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes
In good suds, wash carefully and put
In a boiler of cold water which has
nothing but borax to soften it. Bring
the water to a boil, give the pieces a
second suds, then carefully rinse. Two
persons should stretch the long table,
cloths and place on a line, hanging
them perfectly even. In ironing they
must be rather damp Fold side to side
with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry
until gloss appears. They must not
be starched, since good linen is stir
enough when properly ironed. Hang
the pieces over rod where they hang
perfectly straight and allow to dry be.
fore they are put away. Now would
you know why it is that some women
have their table linen always looking
new? 1t is done in folding the ironed
pieces. Boards such as are used to fold
dress goods on are what you will need.
Cover the pieces with any old muslin
and carefully roll the table cloth on
this. If the sides are too long care
fully fold the edges toward the center.
Put in the linen closet and when ready
for use you have a new-looking piece
for the table. Do not comb fringe on
pieces, but use moderately stiff
bristle brush for the purpose. In iron
ing monograms lay the right side
down on Turkish towel and the let
tiers will be beautifully ironed in this
manner, which is an improvement
over the soft blanket method.
