Some Seasonable Suggestions on the
Making 'of Pickies.
There are a few general, rules to
be observed in pickle making. If
possible, never use brass, copper or
tin utensils; the action of the-adcL;
pn these metals often produces a
poison. If brass or copper ;ib used
Land our grandmothers bad noth
ing else—the most scrupulous-,clean
liness is necessary; they opght to
be polished so one can see her face
in them, says Good, Housekeeping.
If it is necessary to purchase a ves- ‘
sel, choose porcelain or graniteware,
which is easily cleaned' .and abso
lutely safe, unless the enamel ‘wears
off;’then the iron is as dangerous
as copper. Use the best cider or
white wine vinegar. Never boil it
more than five to seven minutes, or
its strength will be reduced;[MPack
pickles away in' glass or stpne jars
which are perfectly clean. . See that
pickles are always well covered with
vinegar. Watch their ' coalition
closely for a week or two, and if
they show symptoms of not keeping
pour away the liquor about them,
then cover with fresh vinegar and
spices. When ground spices are-
used, tie them in tiny muslin, hags.
Keep pickles sealed as tightly as
fruit, and when a few have been
used from a jar or can cover glosely
again* Put a hit- of . horseradish
root into each jar. This will aid
much in the keeping of pickles.

The Home Laundry.
Concerning the laundry work for
shirts and skirts the advice given is:
Shirts should be hung from each
shoulder and from the sleeves, just
above the cuffs, and not tumbled
over the line. Skirts need njfo hang
from the middle front by, pins
placed at the belt and the bottom.
If colored, they should hang in the
shade. Children’s frocks need to
be hung, like skirts, from slioxilders
and sleeves. Always- see th||' the
collars and cuffs of shirts," ejjje., are
pulled straight and, smooth iit dry--
ing, as that helps the ironing;
Further, we are given the- hint
that should , silk merely nee^. spong
ing no iron should touch the sur
face. If rolled while damp on a
broomstick, it will dTy in a dqy or
so. When there are grease spots,
we are advised to try the time hon
ored remedy, powered magnesia, to
the wrong side under a* cold pres
sure, then, after some homes/ rub
off, and if not wholly cleansed ap
ply again. •
When Mending China. .
Here is a household secret which
an old housekeeper told to., a^young
one. Many people may < knbijy it, f
but if they do not it is worth noting.’
“For mending your broken
china,” she said, “take the "bit of
white that remains in the eggshell
after the egg has been used, mix it
with a little flour, enough to -make
a paste, and cement your china to
gether with it. That will not cost
you a cent, it will not waste an egg,
and unless there is a big break it
will be sufficient to' do the -repair
ing.” v
(The young housekeeper mended
a hand painted pen tray which had
been broken, much to her sorrow,
and though it has been washed a
Humber of times since the egg ce
ment has held the broken pieces to
gether as well as the older house
keeper said it would.

Cleaning Common Laces.
Make the suds as for fine laces
and let the lace soak in ^his for ten
hours or more; then rub gently be
tween the palms of the hands.
Wash in a second suds in the same
manner, then rinse until the water
is clear. If the lace is to be tinted,
do it now, then starch. Have a
flannel tacked tightly on a board;
spread the lace on this and pin to
the flannel. Be sure that the lace
is drawn out properly and that each
point is fastened to the flannel with
a.pin, or the wetjace may be drawn
out perfectly smooth, covered with
a piece of cheesecloth and ironed
with a moderately hot iron until
quite dry.
A Room For Pictures.
The best background for pictures
is plain terra cotta or brown paper.
’A woman who is the proud possess
or of many old prints and engrav
ings has them in her dining room.
The wails are covered with wrap
ping paper, or something that Iooks
very like it, and above is a frieze of
orange distemper. The picture
rails and woodwork are white. The
hangings are of orange colored vel
veteen. All the furniture is ma
hogany.
The Way to Color Things to Eat.
A drop or two of cochineal may
be added when you use rose flavor;
a little grated yellow rind of orange
will give the desired color for
orange flavoring, and green is ob
tained from pistachio. Bitter alm
ond is always used with white, also
vanilla. Th various colorings sold
for icings are used in such small
Q uantities that they are harmless.—

The Children’s Friend.
You’ll have a cold this winter.
Maybe you have one now. Your
children will suffer too. For
coughs, crOup, bronchitis, grip
and other winter complaints One
Minute Cough Cure never fails.
Acts promptly. It is very pleas
ant to the taste and perfectly
harmless. C. B. George, Win
chester. Ky., writes “Our little
girl was attacked with croup late
one night and was so hoarse she
could hardly speak. We gave her
a few doses of One Minute Cough
Cure. It relieved her immediately
and she went to sleep. When she
awoke next morning she had no
signs of hoarseness or croup.

HE' APOLOGIZED.
Apropos of the death of Charles
Crist Delmonico a Wall street man
told this story of the late Lorenzo
Delmonico:
“I. remember Lorenzo one day
down in the Broad street establish
ment becoming quite excited. It
was apparent to him that a great
injustice had been done to the name
of Delmonico.
“It seems that a patron of the
Delmonico establishment in Broad
street had ordered his lunch and
the waiter was a little slow. The
patron became so excited and so
nervous and so annoyed and irri
tated over the delay that he sprang
out of his chair and slapped the
waiter in the faee, saying som6
swear words at the time.
“The waiter didn’t resent this
conduct. Lorenzo Delmonico learn
ed of the incident, and he went up
to this patron of Delmonico’s while
he was eating his lunch and said to
him:
“‘Sir, you have forgotten your
self. You struck this waiter in the
face. His position is defenseless.
Pe could not retaliate on yon, hut
I can, and I want to tell you, sir,
that until you apologize to that
waiter you shall not again he admit
ted to Delmonico’s.’
“It is needless to say that the
Wall street man, who is still well
known in financial circles, apolo
gized to the waiter.”—New York
Sun.
The Wink Did the Trick.
At an old settlers’ picnic near
Goldsmith, Ind., recently, Herman
Salter had a wagon load of mysteri
ous looking half, pint bottles in an
adjoining grove. He carried sam
ples among the crowd, saying, with
a wink, that he had a fine article of
“tea.” The bottles sold like hot
cakes, and his load was soon dis
posed of, some of the thirsty ones
buying three and four bottles. 5 When
the purchasers went to secluded
spots to sample the liquor they were
disgusted by .the discovery that it
was really tea and not whisky, as
they had supposed. The tricky
vender was arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses, but
was acquitted, the magistrate hold
ing that the goods were as repre
sented, and the only deception was
in the wink and that winking was
not an indictable offense.
Patti's Complex Genealogy.
Genealogy presents some curious
problems. Take the case of Mme.
Patti. She was horn in Madrid.
Her father was a native of Catania
in Sicily, and her mother a native
of Borne. She was brought up by
an American stepfather in the Unit
ed States, married two French hus
bands before she settled down in
Wales, and is now the wife of a
Swedish nobleman. To prevent any
difficulty in consequence of this
complex state of affairs in connec
tion with her property she has taken
cut letters of naturalization as a
British subject.—London Standard.
“Last winter an infant child of
mine had croup in a violent
form,” says Elder John W. Ro
gers, a Christian Evangelist, of
Filley, Mo. “I gave her a few
doses of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and in a short tiepe all
danger was past and the child fe-
covered.” This remedy not only
cures cronp, but when given as
soon as the first symptons appear,
will prevent the attack. It con
tains no opium or other harmful
substance and may be given
as confidently to a baby as to an
adnlt. For sale by all dealers in
