Household Lore.
To fill a rose jar pluck the petals
of full blown roses daily and pack
them between layers of salt in
a glass or earthenware jar. When
all are gathered empty the jar upon
a broad platter and loosen the
mn«sed petals, that the salt may
reach every part. Break lumps and
cakes with the fingers until
have disintegrated the mass.
Mix well with the salted roses

JOYS OF A COLLECTOR.
Picking Up a Valuable Painting at r.n
Auction Sale.
Collecting will always have Its ro
mances. 1 know of or.o that occurred
lit the sale at Christie’s of the effects
of the late Sir Henry Irving. Some
one I knew had been to see the collec
tion lie fore the sale. He came across
a portrait with which he was familiar
because he had seen It thirty years
before. On consulting his catalogue ho
discovered that the portrait was do-
scrilied as being that of a man un
known, and, further, the artist was
also unknown. Now, he knew that the
[Kirlrait was that of a famous nctor by
a famous English painter, lie lunge 1
to buy It. hut decided that It would
go at too high a prlco. He went to the
auction with very little hope. The
Whistler and the Sargent were n.Jd,
and then It was the turn of thin picture.
Nobody recognized it. Finally he had
to . art tho bidding himself, and this
he did. Only one man hi 1 against him,
but he soon stopped, discouraged, and
then the picture was knocked down to
the man who had never <>:;pcc 1 t >
get it. 11c hurried to the cask to p-.V
the small amount and to carry <>'. his
prize. "Do you happen to I n w any
thing about that portrait?” the auc
tioneer asked him aa a porter to k It
down to a cab. "I know It very well,"
said the new owner, conscious that it
was now safely his property. "It Is a
portrait of Iluekslor.e, the actor, by
Daniel Mncllso. There is an engraving
of it in tho Mtiollse portrait gallery.’’-

cheesecloth. To every quart of
juice add a pint of sugar. Boil until
quite a thick sirup and can as any

Started the French Walking.
The celebrated Dr. Tronchln, friend
of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot, was
the Inventor of walking. In Franco
until his epoch (ITd’J-SD the leisured
class never walked either for health
or recreation. Walking was only prac

because they possessed neither coach

A CJildhsaclad Roply.
A naval officer, very well and favor
ably known In London, has for some
unknown reason been advanced in his
profession very slowly, though lie has
grown gray in the service and indeed
lamentably bald. Recently one of his
juniors was l>old enough to question
him as to his remarkable absence of
hair.
“How eomee It that you are so very
bald?"
Tho officer replied promptly and with
much vindictiveness:
"You, man, you would ho bald, 1
think, If you lmd had men stepping
over your head for years in the way I
have."—London Punch.

"Three," maintained the first.
‘‘Oh, well, three, then," replied the
second. "We won’t quarrel over a lit

Simple Spool Holders.
A simple little device for holding
tho spool when crochetting is a wire
hairpin with the ends bent in at
right angles n quarter of an inch
above each end. Snap the ends into
the holes in a spool or into the sides
of a hall, hook the hend of the pin
over a button on the waist or some
other convenient place and run no
further risk of soiled wool or silk
through dropping.
Tomato Salad.
For a pretty and most delicious
salad use solid ripe tomatoes (as
many as persons to he served), wash
tho tomatoes and scoop out a por
tion of the centers, filling with
crisp chopped cucumbers, then place
each tomato on three or four crisp
lettuce leaves. Serve with cither
mayonnaise or French dressing.
Dry Cleaning Hairbrushes.
To clean hairbrushes take a cup
of cornmeal and fill the brush, rub
bing gently with the hand. As it
absorbs the grease and dirt shake it
out and use fresh meal till the brush
is cleaned thoroughly. This is bet
ter than ammonia, as there is no
water to injure or loosen the back of
the brush.
To Remove Rust.
For removing rust from polished
steel an effective mixture is made
by taking ten parts of tin nutty,
eight parts of prepared buckhorn
and 250 parts of spirits of wine.
These ingredients are mixed to a
soft paste and rubbed in on the sur
face until the rust disappears.—En
gineer. •
Baby Bands.
Take the best parts of soft old
woolen underwear and cut two
pieces 7 by 8 inches. Stitch the
sides together with embroidery
silk. Take two pieces of ribbon
four inches long for shoulder straps.
This makes a fine cleeap band.
Dust In the Eye. .
Should anything get into the
eye, one drop of sweet oil should
lie dropped in the corner of it, but
if it ho mortar or lime, bathe with
a weak solution of water and vine
gar.—Housekeeper.
Tomato Butter.
Several pounds of tomatoes, three
pounds of sugar, one pint of vine
gar, one ounce of cinnamon, one
half ounce of cloves, ground; boil
till thick. Can and seal.
