AN ATTRACTIVE DINING ROOM.
There is no room in the home where
the family enjoy one. another more
| than in the dining room. Here, there
should never be anything but the
atmosphere of good cheer and harmony,
but to create this harmonious atmosphere,
the room itself should preseut an
attractive appearance. Sunshine should
not be refused admittance because of
unwashed windows and "dark, heavy
curtains. Keep the windows always
beautifully clean and curtained witb

shades are desirable. The fewer ornaI

Sketches of beautiful, bright scenes and
flowers make the wails attractive and a
vase of flowers in the center of the fable,
always lends a charm to the meal and
elevates one's thoughts above "Living to

a small potted fern, which can be purchased
reasonably, is a good substitute.

Spotless linen is another essential toward
an attractive dining room. If a
cloth is used instead of plate doilies, a
"Silence Cloth" should always be placed
under it, as it brings out the floral
pattern clearly and protects the table
from hot dishes.

METHODS IN FRYING. '
There is nothing harder to teach than
new methods of housework. It usually
takes a generation to introduce a decided
change. Our mothers served their friert
food soaked in grease, and it is quite
likely that the same fashion of frying
will prevail to some extent for some
time to come, it is curious to see how
our leading cook-books denounce such
force of habit countenance it on another.
Every good housekeeper knows theoretically
that there are only two ways
or frying. One is in some delicate fat,
like butter, using only enough to prevent
the article fried from sticking. The
trying pan is moved rapidly during this
process; hence it is called by the French,
saute, front the verb sauter, to jump.
During this process the butter used
is absorbed, but it is used in so small
a quantity that it is .only enough' to
dross the fried articles properly, and
not. enough to make them greasy. Oysters
are nice cooked in this way.
The second method of frying is in
deep fat, in the way doughnuts are
cooked. The greater part of French
frying is done by tIlls method. There
must bo depth of tat enough to cover the
article put in it, and the fat must be
hot enough to form a thin crust over
i.no rruter (lie instant of its immersion.
Croquettes, breaded meals and potatoes
are all cooked by the last method.
WHAT SHE LEARNED.
"I thought it was a pretty fair sort of
telescope for one that wasn't very big."
said Uncle Silas. "I rigged it up in the
attic by the high north window, and had
it fixed so it would swing round easy. I
took a deal of satisfaction in looking
through it?the sky seemed so wide and
full of wonders; so when Hester was
here I thought I'd give her the pleasure.
too. She stayed a long time upstairs and
seemed to ue enjoying it. When she
came down I asked her if she'd discovered
anything new.
" 'Yes,' " she says. " 'Why, it made everybody's
house seem so near that i
seemed to be right beside 'em, and i
tound out what John Pritchard's folks
are doin' in their out kitchen. I've wondered
what they had a" light tnere fort
night after night, and 1 just turned the
glass on their windows and found out.
They are cuttin' apples to dry?folks as
rich as them cuttin' apples!'"
"And actually, that was all the woman
had seen! With the whole heavens before
her to study, she had spent her time
prying into the affairs of her neighbors!
And there are lots more like her?with
and without telescopes."?Christian Uplook.
On one occasion an ignorant quack was

physicians in a critical case. After considerable
discussion, the opinion was expressed
