BEST WAY OF DOING THINGS
Trio of Useful Aids to Good House
wifery and Preservation of a Tran
gull State of Mind.

To make candles last double the
usual time, take each candle by the
wick and give it a good coat of white
,varnish. Put the candles away day
or two to let them harden. The var
nish prevents the grease from running
down and so prolongs the life OF the
candle.
To remove scorch marks on linen
(unless they are very bad) cut an
onion In half and rub the scorched
part with it: then soak in cold water.
The marks will soon disappear under
this treatment If they can be rene
died at all
To clean light colored or drab cioth
spats or CATERS and shoetops, peel and
wash some potatoes, then crate them
into a basin, and while quite wet ap-
ply to the surface of the CATERS and
shoetops. Put in the open air to dry
and then brush the grated potato on
with a clean brush.
To mend a coal scuttle that has
holes in the bottom take piece OF
cork limo or linoleum and cut as near
as possible to the shape and size OF
the bottom of the scuttle; then scrape
the bottom of the scuttle until 1t is
quite clean. Next apply a moderate
amount OF glue, and also put some on
the piece of linoIeum. Place the limo
or lineleum in the bottom of the coal
scuttle, fill up with coal and allow to
stand a few hours. 1t will then be
firmly set, and the scuttle will last
quite long time, "as good as new"

Paris.-The remarkable cure OF

ICED TEA FOR SULTRY DAYS
No Better Hot-Weather Beverage Than
This Preparation Has Ever
Been Devised.

There is probably no drink more re-
freshing and none that can be more
attractiyely served than iced tea Il
can be made before IL is needed and
kept on hand. always chilled, in the
ice box. or II can be made at mo
ment's notice, provided there is plenty
OF ice, plenty Of fresh boiling water
and the right sort of tea on hand.
There are two methods Of making
feed tea and both have their expon-
ents. One says to put cracked Ice
in a glass and then put IN slice or
so OF lemon and, sweetness is liked a
sufficient number of Jumps OF sugar
Then make tea, rather strong, with
freshly boiling water. After the water
has stood on the ground for four or
five minutes pour the tea on the Ice.
A safeguard against broken glasses
is to put a spoon in each glass. the
spoon serves as a conductor OF heat.
The other method for making lced
tea is more economical, for, according
to it the tea is made and poured INTO
big bottle, fruit jar or covered jug
or pitcher, when it is sufficiently
strong and then stood in the ice box
until it is thoroughly chilled. Slices CT
lemon and sugar can be added before
or after it is served, and little
chopped ice adds not only to the dell
ciousness but also to the sound OF the
tea-and nothing is more suggestive
of refreshment when the mercury is
climbing then the sound of tinkling ice
and glass

which takes the lead, about $4,000 in
Ulster increasing rapidly, $4,000 in
Munster and $4,000 in Connaught.
