^L. Washing With Gasolene.
If gasolene is used instead of kero-
PW.%ene in boiling clothes, there will nev-
L ' &■ bq a greasy scmn on the water, as
UcVOs sometimes the case with kerosene,
■pand there is no odor left on the
clothes. Os course the gasoline can
■ ' /mist not be taken near the stove, but
■ if the amount needed is carried to
boiler in a cup there is no danger.
K ^dd two-thirds of a bar of soap to
■ two-thirds of a boiler of water, and
■ when it nearly reaches the boiling
I point add three tablespoonfuls of gas-
I. oleile and put the clothes in dry. As
■ ter they have boiled 20 minutes they
■ are ready to be rubbed slightly, blued
■ . and starched.—The Housekeeper.
Boiling Vegetables.
A housekeeper gives these hints for
‘ : ng vegetables:
A -’At this time of year let them lie in
* cold water for an hour or so before
■ . epoking, then put them into boiling
; • salted water. Parsnips will boil tend
er in from 20 to 30 minutes, spinach
in .20 minutes; turnips need from 45
minutes to an hour. Do not break the
। skin of beets before they are cooke'd
[ or they will lose their red juice. Boil
9 lem ®n hour or two until they are
™'thoroughly tender. Then plunge them
into cold water and slip off their
tjktns. Many persons like onions and
^cabbage better if they are Doiled in
■ .sfwo or three waters. This takes
W away some of their rank flavor.

V “1 find that not only a food such as
porridge will carry the needle-like
• splinters to the body, but that a soup,
p and even tea, may very well contain
sharply splintered particles of this
most dangerous glass.”
Many physicians and surgeons have
f advanced the theory known as the
mechanical theVsy, that the cc.use of
appendicitis may be the introduction
through the food of some sharp, irri
tating substance, causing inflamma
tion and ulceration.
They designate tooth brush bristles,
wheat grit, particles of antimonal rub
ber stoppers, as common irritants.
None of these are of such irritating
quality as spicules of enamel, which
might be swallowed with the sauces
or vegetables cooked in the enameled
ware vessels.
Accordingly among medical men and !
some housekeepers there is a crusade I
having for its object the return to the ■

Recipes.
Celery Toast. —Cut the crisp from
the heart of a stalk of celery into por
tions of about two inches long, shred
very fine, and lay in ice-cold water
for two hours. Butter squires of
toast, cover with the shredded celery,
and pour over it whipped creiyn sea
soned with salt and a. little cayenne.
Garnish with parsley.
Roast Goose. —A goose should he i
roasted longer and basted oftsner
other poultry. Twenty-five minutes
to the pound is none too long. For
the stuffing mix bread crumbs and pul
verized chestnuts, seasoned with
salt and pepper. A green goose is
one under four months old, and those
are decidedly preferable to the older
fowls. Gooseberry sauce is an appro
priate accompaniment. Apple sauce
is also orthodox.
Orange Fritters. —Divide some or
anges, leaving three or four sections
together, sprinkle them with powder
ed sugar, and leave them for about
half an hour before they are required.
Then dip the pieces into a thick batter
and fry them in a bath of boiling fat.
Place the fritters on paper in front
of a brisk fire, as they are taken from
the pan, and when all are ready pile
them up on a hot dish covered wft.h a
doily and scatter a little white sugar
over them.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores From Ecze
ma—Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
—Both Cured by Cuticurn.
“Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re
lief afforded that we discarded the phy
sician’s prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap. .Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with tinning sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble.
“In July of this year a little boy in our
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty four hours hi#
hands and arms were a mass of torturing
sores. We used only the Cuticura Rem
. edies, washing his hands and arms with
the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them
with the Cuticura Ointment, and then
gave him the Cuticura Resolvent, in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. So we have lots of cause for
feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies.
We find that the Cuticura Remedies are
a valuable household standby, living as we
do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie

The ills peculiar to women, take different forms.
Some ladies suffer, every month, from dark rings round their eyes, blotches on their skin and tired
feeling. Others suffer agonies of pain, that words can hardly express.
Whatever the symptoms, remember there is one medicine that will go beyond mere symptoms, and
act on the cause of their troubles, the weakened womanly organs.

I their height at the lunar noon and

While tungsten is considered one
of the rare elements tungsten com
pounds are of considerable use. So
dium tungstate is largely employed
for impregnating fibres to make them
fireproof. It is also used as a mor
dant in dyeing. Tungsten bronzes are
largely employed as bronze powders
and pigments. The chief consumption
of tungsten in recent years has been,
however, for high speed tool steels
arid for hardened steel for armor
plates and large guns. ’
British safes, the American Culti
vator is told, would have prevented
great loss at San Francisco, where
the contents of a large proportion of
so-called fireproof safes and laults
were destroyed. The American plan
of insulating with a filling cf infusor
ial earth or asbestos is condemned as
sure to fail in severe test, and it is
affirmed that not a fireproof but a.
steam-generating and moisture-evolv
ing composition—drying to a non-con
ducting material —is needed to ke?p
the inside cool for the longest possi
ble time. English makers allege that
this difference gives superiority to

Owing to the sudden illness of one
of her servants the mistress of a
country house in a New England vil
lage had to impress into service as a
a waitress the daughter of one of the
neighboring farmers. That there was
asy social inequality between servant,
and mistress never struck the new
waitress, as was made iilain the first
evening at dinner.
There was a dish of olives in front
of the mistress which she allowed to
remain as they were until the hastily
coached waitress should have had
time to ssrve them. This didn’t fit in
with the girl’s idea of hospitality at
all, and as she reached her employer
she leaned over her chair, pointed at
the olives, and remarked in a perfect
