HOUSEHOLD HELPS
To Destroy Insects.

SCOT from the kitchen chimney ana
| from the furnace smoke pipe, finely
| sifted coal ashes, soapsuds, cigar

| per excelsior and similar stuff-all
| these are of the greatest use for the
| garden.
! The SCOT is invaluable both as food
for plants and as a destroyer of grubs.
| Sprinkled around rose bushes, etc, it
| will save hours of insect fighting later,
besides enriching the roots of the
plant.
Well-sifted coal ashes are excellent
as loosening material for clayey soil
share of chemical plant food to the
roots. They are highly obnoxious to
earth-inhabiting grubs.
Soapsuds will discourage caterpillars,
rose aphis and scores Of other bugs.
Applied in thick lather to the stems
and leaves, they will often make it
unnecessary to resort to the more
heroic remedies, such as kerosene
emulslons.
Cigar stumps, etc, will make the
best sort Of tobacco mixture, one or
the leading applications for plants in
tested with such smaller parasites as
rose lice, etc. Bought from dealers,
extract of tobacco costs 80 cents pint.
Paper, excelsior, etc, will furnish

the most valuable fertilzers-so valu-

dressed with them at odd times. Deal
ers charge more than 2 cents a pound
for them. Most paper is wood pulpo
What is the best way to save all
this:
Keep a barrel in the cellar, into
which every scrap of combustible
waste is thrown. When it is full have
a bonfire. Keep a covered box for
every bit of SCOT.
Keep old buckets, paint kegs or
other watertight receptacles either in
the cellar or a corner Of the garden,
where you can cover them with a
board. Into one throw all the cigar
stumps, etc, and keep it full of water.
Into another have the soap suds dump
cd often enough to keep it full, so that
you will always have some the very
moment you want it.
If you can have another receptacle
into which dishwater is thrown, YOU
will find it a good liquid fertilizer al
ready made. 1t is splendid to pour
around plants that APPEAR to need
, some food. The soapiness of the dish
water will be an added advantage, not
= detriment.
!: nay seem unnecessary to keeT
soapsuds handy; but you will often see
insects on your plants when you
haven't the time to mix anything t.
kill them. If the soapsuds are al
ready it will take you only moment

To Prevent Fading.

An excellent laundreSS who has never
been know to fade a. summer frock
says she has special laxative" for
every color
Alum used in the rinsing water will
prevent green from fading. A handful
Of salt thrown into the rinsing water
will set blue.
OX-gall is good to use for gray and
brown. Hay water made by pouring
boiling water over hay is excellent for
washing tan or brown linen.
A tablespoonful Of black pepper
stirred into the first suds in which cot
tons are washed, will prevent colors
from running.
Five cents worth of sugar OF lead
crystals dissolved in pailful Of water
makes a solution which fixes the tone
of pnks, blues and lavenders. The
fabrics should remain in the sugar of
lead bath half an hour or SO before go
ing to the suds.
These baths will not prevent a gar
ment from fading if it is hung in the
sun to dry Delicate colors, in fact,
any colors at all, are safe if dried in
the house.
Vinegar is useful in reviving Colors.
Add one teaspoonful of common vine
gar to each quart of cold rnsing water,
thoroughly saturate the article, wiring
tightly and dry quickly.
If the color has been taken out of
silks by fruit stains, ammonia will usu-
ally restore it.
To wash brown Holland dresses, use
bran, but no washing soda, and no
soap unless the skirt is very dirty. Boil
two handfuls Of bran in one quart of
water and strain through muslin. Put
the bran on to boil again, as you will
require second supply of bran water
for rirsing.
Cool the water by adding one quart
of cold water to it, Then wash the
skirt. You will be surprised to see how
the bran extracts the dirt. Rinse first
in bran water, then in plain water. Put
the article through the wringer and
iron while damp, on the wrong side.

Sauce for Fish.

A chef in a New York restaurant is
responsible for this suggestion: Mix
the juice of blood orange with Hol-
landaise sauce and use it as dressing
for asparagus. For the Hollandaise
sauce, heat a tablespoonful of vinegar
with half a tablespoonful of minced
onion and half a bayleaf, and strain
and cool. Meanwhile, rub a table,
spoonful of butter and half a table
spoonful of flour to cream and cook
them together in half a cupful of wa
ter; then turn in the vinegar, remove
from the fire, and While hot stir IN
gradually the yolk of an egg. Reheat
in a double boiler but do not allow the
sauce to stand until it curdles. Add
salt and pepper and serve. This is d
delicious sauce for fish.

Get the Food the

I For the children are the main ones to please.

We toast the fakes, made as thin

degrees.
The object of all is to break
down the granules of starch by the
heat, so the digestive juices can
get to them.
Flaked foods can be made in
one-fourth of this time, and the
saving, of course, is considerable.
But the result is a food half d.

And the half that is lost fer
ments on the stomach-irritates the

POLISHED TABLES.

Sometimes there are ways of doing
things that are so simple that We for
get to employ them. Here is an in
stance: The polished mahogany dininfs
table is a source Of some anxiety AMI
care in many households. An easy
matter it is to keep it bright and IN
spotted if, after each meal, you wash it
with cold water, using a sponge; then
dry and rub briskly. This keeps the
table top clear and bright and free
from that greasy look so often seen
upon tables in even well-re3ulated
households.
White spots sometimes appear upon
the polished surface of furniture. just
remember that you can readily remove
such spot by rubbing with cloth
moistened with alcohol. This will not
mar the finish of the wood.

sight they would not have married and
made the grandmother state possible

they did

That is good for us-but it's
better for them. For Mapl-Flake

wheat is the food of the ages. No

AT AFTERNOON TEA
FUNCTION is CONSTANTLY GROW.
ING IN POPULARITY.
English Innovation Has Caught On"
in America-One of the Most Pleas
ant Ways of Entertaining
Ones Friends.

1t is said that no English woman is
happy without her tea, and that Amer
leans are the great coffee drinkers, but
the consumption of tea is constantly
ON the increase. An afternoon tea is
a pleasant way of entertaining ones
friends. An advantage is that a larger
number of guests can be entertained
than is usually possible at dinner or
luncheon. All teas are similar, as the
form of extending this hospitality is
much the same everywhere. Some
times collection of small tables are
used, distributed here and there about
one or two rooms, but as a rule one
large table is most popular, and from
this the tea and refreshments are
served. This should be covered with
a spotless white linen cloth. prettily
decorated with flowers and silver; a
tea service stands at one end and a
chocolate set at the other, each pre-
sided over by some friend of the
hostess. Sandwiches, cakes, bonbons
and an ice are sufficient compliments.
A maid should be in attendance to re-
move soiled cups and plates.
The brewing of tea, which is quick
ly accomplished. will never be sue
cessful with any but water actually
and freshly boiled. and the teapot
which should be earthenware, must
be hot. One, teaspoonful of Ceylon
or a combination of English breakfast
and Orange Pekoe is the proper guam
tity for each cup to be drawn. Enough
boiling water to steep the leaves
should be poured in and the pot al
lowed to stand for a few minutes. At
the end of that time boiling water to
the desired quantity is added and the
cups filled at once. After this the
teapot should be sent out and pre-
pared for another brew. Never use
the same leaves a second time. Tea
with lemon juice is not a mere fad
without foundation. 1t is said that
when lemon juice is used in clear tea
there is little possibility of harm re-
sulting, since the citric acid of the
fruit offsets the tannic acid of the tea,
rendering it refreshing and whole
some. A great improvement to cup
of tea is a slice of pineapple which has
been soaked in rum, and small
amount of maraschino and a bit of
lemon added brings out the flavor OF
the pineapple. Also a teaspoonful OF
rum is in great favor.

Crusade Hits Market Street.

Denver. - The Republican Friday
morning says:
The way of the transgressor is hard
in political campaigns.
By order of the district attorney,
who had some 100 warrants sworn out
before a justice of the peace, the
women in the red light" district, who
have been living in the one-story
shacks facing on the Streets moved
away during yesterday morning and
last night. The males who live off the
earnings Of fallen women and the men
who profit through renting and SUBJ
renting the houses, had disappeared
from twelve to twenty-four hours be-
fore. Four or five of the parasites
were caught and lodged in Jail on
charges of vagrancy. The crusaders
from the district attorneys Office were
successful in the main undertaking of
riddinG the district of this class of in
mates. A few of them left the city un-
til the storm" had passed, but most
took rooms in other parts of town
Although the crusade originated in
the political game of whether the po-
lice department might not gain advan-
tage over the district attorneys office
at the coming election, there is reason
to believe that the worst feature of
Market street will be obliterated as
result. A movement has been on foot
for some time past to get rid of these
cribs

Cruise Around the World.

Magdalena Bay.-The news that the
fleet was to continue its cruise after
reaching San Francisco and complete
the decentralization of the globe by
way of Honolulu, Sydney and Manila
and the SueZ canal, was received
aboard the flagship Connecticut and
was at once transmitted to the com
mandfng officers of the various battle
ships.
The news excited the greatest inter
est and was the most absorbing topic
of conversation since the feet started
from Hampton Roads.
Rel Admiral Thomas, who will be
the senior rear admiral after Admiral
Evans retires, commented briefly upon
the great trip ahead.
ut can be easily accomplished by
this fleet" he said. "In fact, it will be
easier than the present cruise has been.
While there are many long trips be-
tween stops, every one of our modern
battleships is capable of carrying suf-
hcient coal to make them, with some
to spare. We shall have better coal
ing facilities at Honolulu, Samoa, Sgd
ney and Cavite than we have had at the
various places We have coaled on this
trip.
"As 1 glance over it, no difficulties
of moment present themselves. 1t is,
of course, a cruise of tremendous
length, making the one we are now on
seem small by comparison. 1t would
likely be the last of December before
we would reach New York, although
that is merely guess. 1t would depend
upon the number and length of stops
we would make"
