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. S*—-V 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. • ; That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you. if you used Dr. Kings New Life Pills .

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.— /adies 5 Home Journal. The Other Way Around. “Arp, you doing anything to. ele vate the stage?” asked the serious personage. “No, sir,” answered the manager who needs' the money. “What I want to do is to make the stage give me a lift.”—Washington Star. One of the Bad Kind. “Do yon believe in good dreams and bad dreams?” asked the super stitious man. “Well, I don’t knew so much about good dreams, hut I have had nightmares,” answered the prosaic individual.—Chicago Post. Ah, There, Papal * “It’s time, Charles, that we thought of getting Hilda married; she is eighteen.” “Oh, let her wait till the ri&ht sort of man comes along.” “What nonsense I I never waited for the right sort of man.” A Promise Kept. “Blanche’s papa paid a round million for her count,” said Miss Flypp. “She always said she wouldn’t Inarry a cheap man,” said Miss Kit- tish.—Detroit Free Press.

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. Holtzclaw’s drugstore. Subscribe for the Home Journal 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 Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
