Sweet AIyssum.

This low growing, hardy, white flow
cred and very fragrant annual is
much used for edgings, window boxes,
and the like. 1t is of the easiest cul-
ture, and thrives best in garden loan
of moderate fertility. A double flower
ing variety has been produced, which
is excellent for window boxes and for
growing in pots and may be obtained
from most florists.
Seed of the single sweet alyssum
may be sown as early as the ground
can be prepared in the spring. The
plant begins to bloom when two or
three inches high and continues flow
cring until frost. 1t rarely reaches
more than a foot in height In the
fall the plants that have doomed all
summer may be cut back and put in
pots where they will flower all winter.
Better results for winter Towering
may be obtained by planting seed in
August September or October. There
are some yellow lowered perennial va
rictics of this plant useful for promi-
ncnt cdgings and rock work.

cioofn IN June is enough to make them
worthy the gardeners utmost care.
lhere are many varieties, some of
which are fairly productive of blossoms
after the June crop. The Mrs. John
Laing, beautiful silvery pink rose. is
one Of the best. It's color, form and
fragrance it's long stem and it's free
dom of bloom are combination of
desirable qualities rarely met with in
one variety. 1t is admirably suited to
bedding in groups and masses and can
always be depended upon for an
abundant supply of flowers through
most of the summer
Ulrich Drummer is a cherry red rose
The flower is large and fragrant, and
borne on long smooth stems so that it
is very useful for boquets. The plants
are vigorous, have good foliage, and
the flowers are produced freely
The Snow Queen rose, Frau Karl
Druschki, is a new white variety, large,
with bell shaped petals, the flowers
borne on good stems 1t is at its best
when in the bud stage, when its beauty
is extraordinary. Its purity of color is
exceptional; many socalicd white roses
being cream, flesh white or yellowish

flowers continuously
The Wilder is a large bright red,

Nothing can be more beautiful than a

flowers are globular.

Household Hints.

Soap well applied to drawer slides
will keep the drawers in furniture and
closets from sticking.
Put a few drops of ammonia on a rag
Z, to rub finger marks from looking
glasses or windows.
When stewing fruit never use a
metal spoon; a wooden spoon Is best,
ana those with short handles are most
convenient for thick substances
Discolored cups and dishes used for
baking can be made as new by rubbing
the brown stains with q flannel dipped
into whiting.
Before polishing the stove wash it off
with vinegar 1t removes all grease.
leaving the surface smooth, and keeps
the backing from burning off 50 quick
~, saving much time and labor
Patent leather shoes should be
cleaned with milk. or a little sweet oil
may be rubbed into them. The soles
and heels of such shoes arc, of course,
to be cleaned with backing.
A black leather travelling bag can al
ways be kept in capital condition by
mixing one tablespoonful of sweet Oil
rubbing this well into the bag. After
it has thoroughly dried it should be
polished with q chamois leather.
Pretty reccptaclcs for flowers that
are inexpensive are goldfish bowls. A
small one costs but 10 cents. and will
be found most artistic The naTtur
tium. rose, mignonette or any dainty
flower With pretty stem is at its best
in the clear glass bowl.
A soft flannel cloth and saltcd water
should be used for cleaning mating.
If there arc spots which are Soiled rub
them first with dampcned cornmeal,
then wash the mating with the soft
flannel cloth and cool salt water, allow
ing a quart of salt to each pail of
water Lastly, wipe off all moisture
with a damp cloth. Mating kept clean
in this manner will not turn yellow.
The next time you wash the glass
ware rinse in hot water and plunge the
articles in bucket of water in which
there is cupful Of clear starch. Keep
the starch stirred through the water.
Put the glassware on towels to drain
ana leave until perfectly dry. Rub
with a soft cloth and you will be de-
lighted to see how bright are the
pieces. Have soft brush to clean the
cut-glass articles.
A good supply Of dish towels is a
necessity. Health and comfort are
promoted BY an abundance of every
furnishing in the kitchen department.
Fer dish rags buy some white mos
quito netting-a quarter Of a yard Is
sufficient for onc-whicn should be
folded back and forth as many times as
the width will allow, and then tackled
in the same way that a comfortable is
made.
In cleaning lettuce. spinach or any
green vegetables liable to have small
insects sticking to the leaves throw
the vegetables in salt water, which
will instantly release them. Rinse
thoroughly under running water or in
several pans of clear well water. If
YOU will closely examine lettuce you
will notice that miniature insects will
cling tenaciously to the leaves and an
ordinary washing will not release them
unless salt is added to the water.

SOME RICE DISHES.
Baked Rice.

Wash Il quarter of pound Of rice
and put it into a large buttered pud-
ding dish, add two tcaspoonfuls of SUI
sar, two teaspoonfuls of finely shopp2d
suet, grating of nutmeg, and two
tablespoonfuls of cleaned currants.
Pour over these two cuDfuls of milk
and cover the pudding dish with a
buttered paper Bake in very SLOW
oven for two and half hours. The
last half hour remove the paper. The
same quantities can be steamed in Il
mold for Two hours.

We cook our wheat in pure Maple syrup, just
for the chidrens sake
They like Maple sugar better than anything
else that is good for them.
So we use it to please them. To induce them
to prefer the best food they can eat.
1t is rather expensive, but it is wise-for you,
for them, for US.
There is no food like wheat.
Other cereals may be used, for little time,
for variety. But the staple is always wheat.
Whole wheat alone contains all the needed
food elements in properly balanced form.
So we use for Mapl-Flake the finest wheat
in America
But wheat must be cooked-cooked more than
the usual-else it is half indigestbe.
The atoms must be separated-by fierce
heat-so the digestive juices can get to them.
Not half the wheat that people eat is subject
to digestion.
The balance is wasted. 1t ferments and forms
gas It leads to digestive disorders.
That's why we spend full 96 hours in prepar-
ing Mapl-Flake.
We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Think
of that!
Then we cure it for days-a partial digestive
process.
Then each separate berry is faxed so thin that
the full heat of our ovens can attack every atom.
