How to Eat Pineannies.

Pineapples should never be sliced
That treatment releases the juice from
the pulp and leaves the meat dry and
woody and tasteless. Down in Cuba
and in the lower part of Florida,
where they know how to eat the fruit,
they never peal pineapple They take
a ripe fruit-for pineapples should new
er be eaten unless they are ripe-and cut
off the top and bottom; then they split
the fruit lengthwise, then quarter it
and split the quarters. This gives
eight slices, which are then eaten from
the hand as one would eat a piece Of
watermelon. By following this method
you get all the Juice and can make a
tidy job of it. You eat it right down to
the skin, and after trying it that way /
do not think you would voluntarily go
back to the old way Of chopping the
fruit into chunks and eating the juice
less pieces.

How to Wash WooIens.

a bag of cheesecloth or mosquito net

contents. in soft water with good
white soap. The water must not be
cold; neither must it be very hot, and
of course the soap must never be rub

eral waters. which must be of the
same temperature as the soapy water,
rip the garment from the bag, but do
not hang it on a line to dry. Lay it
fiat on a table without stretching and
place in the air to dry. If colored,
avoid the sunlight, as it will fade it.
Some ammonia in the water helps to
keep wool garments soft. The disas-
trous experience that many people have
had in washing sweaters is due to the
fact that they wiring and stretch them.

crush the bag to squeeze out the wa

DESSERTS FOR HOT DAYS.
How to Make Ices and Creams With
Summer Fruits.

When it comes to summer desserts
the ice cream freezer shows to its full
advantage, says the June Delineator
Literally hundreds of ices and creams
can be made nowadays. many of them
with the least possible trouble, if only
one owns the most useful household
utensil.
The plain vanilla cream, which the
beginner should learn because it is the
basis of so many others. is made by
this rule: Scald a pint of rich milk or
thin cream with cupful of sugar
Cool, favor and add a pint of cream,
plain or whipped, and freeze. This
can be varied indefinitely by adding
summer fruits. Crush a quart of
strawberries, sweeten with sugar and
water sirup and put these in when the
cream is half frozen, or add a cupful Of
stale cake crumbs and some chopped
nuts, or flavor with strong coffee, or
melt and brown the sugar you are to
use and add that and have caramel
ice cream
For plain ice, which is the basis of
all ices, boil a cupful of sugar and two
cupfuls of water to a smooth strip.
Add fruit juice or lemon, or both
Strain, cool, add two egg whites I'M
beaten and freeze. A little lemon juice
is always really necessary. with other
fruits to bring out the favor.
Pineapple can be picked up very fine
or put through a press and added to
the plain ice when it is half frozen, or
currant juice may be put In, or sap
berry juice. or, indeed. anything one
happens to have at hand.

How 10 Apply a Mustard Plaster

The convenience of the bought mus
tard plaster is SO great that it has
practically superseded the homemade
one. It does not burn so easily as the
latter, but, even so, care must be taken
in applying it. TO avoid chill, dip the
plaster in warm instead of cold water
before applying. Do not remove it at
the first lament of the patient that it
burns. The object of a mustard plas-
ter is to burn, and there is no reason
to put one on if it is to be removed
too soon. On the other hand, it is in
excusably careless to allow plaster to
blister. Keep a watch on it, and when
the flesh seems distinctly red, with a
redness that does not quickly fade, re-
move the plaster. Dry off the spot
apply little yaseline or cold cream
and cover with a soft piece of linen or
old handkerchief.

Mr.. NJ. w. Newton's proposition to give
a street through the Ladd property, from
Curtis avenue to Broad street in exchange
for the street from Curtis avenue along the
school lot, to Centre, seems to US most
delicate means of avoiding placing the city
under special obligations to the principal.
Municipalities are much like individuals
they cannot accept gifts without certain
amount Of obligation. and Mr.. Newton has
bridged that chasm by proffer of trade, on
even terms, though all recognize the dis
pairing Of value, property for property, and
the further fact that Mr.. N. now has small
personal interest in that street.
