Hints to Housekeepers.

To butter cracker and sprinkle In
with cayenne pepper will induce sleep
after eating.
Vanished wood should be rubbed
with chamois leather w-ung out of
cold water, then polished with a soft
duster.
An easy method of mending lace
curtain in hurry, until time can be
spared for darning it, is to cut piece
of net as near match to the cur
tain mesh as possible, dip in boiled
starch, and iron over the torn part
until dry.
Patent leather is always doubtful
leather to buy, as no one will guaran-
tee how long it will wear. If the shoes
are cleaned and oiled frequently with
sweet oil or vaseline they will keep
in good condition and last very much
longer than if they are left alone.
To polish vanished floor rub well
with equal quantities of beeswax and
turpentine. Another method is to take
equal parts Of olive oil and spirits of
turpentine, wet soft cloth with these,
rub the wood hard, tbeI rub with
dry cloth. This is alss good for black
walnut furniture and sewing machines.
A folding toilet and dressing table is
new and useful, but expensive. The
table is of highly polished mahogany,
with stool to match, containing good
sized mirror at the back, and nineteen
silver toilet articles. When not in
use, the top may ba completely fold
ed up and used as an ordinary table.
A very good salad can be made by
using a cupful of uhcooked cabbage,
green pepper, celery, all to be shred
ded; apples cut in pieces, few seed
ed white grapes cut in halves and
few English walnuts. Mix all togeth-
er thoroughly and place in the refrig-
orator. Serve with mayonnaise or
French dressing.
Remember that pond lilies, when
procurable make one Of the loveliest
of summer centre pieces. They should
be placed in large shallow glass
bowl, and care should be taken not
to crowd in too many blossoms. The
water beneath with the long, curving
stems is one of the chief attractions
of this decoration, as 1T gives the flow.

A Thought For Today.

Above all, that I may not be a cow
ard. That I may have courage-cour-
age to be unmoved by the uncertain
ties of life, and without dread of loss,
whether Of friends, Of health, or of
fortune. That I may come with a firm
and tranquil mind to the work Of this
day, fearing nothing-resdy to meet
bravely failure or deprivation. {.
That / may bring to the days eff
forts, good humor and, cheerful regard
for all with whom I may come into
contact.
That I may be diligent in the per-
formance of duties and cheerful in
manner. That I may be earnest in
pursuit Of the right.
That I may stand with open mind
ready to receive the Truth in small
affairs and in large-whether in learn
ing new and better methods, or in re-
eeiving that philosophy necessary to a
brave, tranquil, well-poised, well-har-
monized life.-John Brisben Walker,

Balloon st. Louis, CoIapses and Falls

Berlin, By. Cable.-The st. Louis,

Hewat, was rescued by a German
steamship passing at the time.
Arnold and Hewat were enveloped
in the folds Of the balloon when res
cued. They would have been forced
under water in a short time. The
rescue was effected with the greatest
difficulty.
The aeronauts did not know that
they were over sea until they heard
the sound Of the waves, the waters
being obscured by thick fog that
hung at low level. A rapid fall in
temperature caused q shrinkage Of
the balloon envelope and it began
gradually to descend. Alarmed, the
aeronauts began throwing out every
thing in the balloon to tighten it, but
continued to sink and finally struck
the water with a splash. The men
telegraphed the race committee that
they were safe and uniniured.
This is the second sensational acci-
dent Of American entrants. Shortly
