To keep boiled potatoes from turning black squeeze the juke of a lemon into the kettle while the potatoes are boil- ing and there will be no unsightly dis- coloration. To make your biscuits break open ev- .erily, roll your dough about half as thick as usual, foldover, run the roller over it once, and cut with l,iseuit cutter. To keep meat fresh wash with weak vinegar and water spread over with small pieces of raw onion. '!'his will keep pleat fresh in hottest weather. Be- fore cooking remove the onions and wash in clear cold water, When making custards use the yolks of the eggs only. 'The whites of the eggs should be saved. They add nothing to the flavor of the custard, and wiI be found most useful for clearing soups. Tr% using lemon and vanilla together in flavoring a cake. It makes a pleas- ant change. To prevent juicy pies from having a softened under crust, line the plate with crust and brush with the white of an un- beaten egg. Bake in an oven a few minutes, then fill and proceed as usual.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA For the Destruction of Flies. Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those suffering from contagi- ous diseases. Kill every fly that enters the sick room. Do not alllow decaying rnatter of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises. All refuse which tends in any way to fermenta- tion, such as bedding straw, paper waste and vegetable matter, should be burned or covered with lime. All re- ceptacles for garbage should be kept carefully coverrd and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with Iime, oil, or other cheap preparation. Pour coal oil in the drains. Cover all foods; burn, bury or feed all table refuse. Screen all win- dows and doors, and especially those of the kitchen and dining room. Burn pyrethrum powder in the house; don't forget that flies have their breeding place in filth; it may be on your prem- ices. It is well known that one female house fly lays about one hundred and twenty eggs during the season, and she selects a place where there is an no - cumulation of filth—any decaying ani- mal and vegetable matter that will furnish food for her larvae; the eggs mature in about ten days, and in a sea- son there may be ten or twelve genera- tions, millions of flies may result from the eggs of a single housefly.

What though he is a millionaire, his nights are desolute and bare, He knows no cheery welcome that only babes can give; With all his money he must miss the sweet and tender good -night kiss, A few short years of empty joys are all he has to live. Within my arms I nightly hold a big- ger fortune than his gold; I'm richer than this man of wealth, my future hopes are fine.

Don't get a more elaborate trousseau than you need. Better hold over part of your,money and get your handsom- est frocks when you will need them most. Don't be a procrastinator in ordering your trousseau. Last-minute fittings do not make for a beauteous bride. Don't spend a fortune in decorations —if you cannot afford it. Nothing is lovelier than garden flowers at a wed- ding, and your girl friends should have taste enough to arrange them artistic- ally. Don't invite more than your house— in case of rain—or your church, can accommodate comfortably.; Don't lack system in receiving and answering your wedding presents. See that the name and address of the send- er, also the place where the gift is bought, is marked ed in an alphabeted book as each package is opened. Check off each name as soon as a note of thanks is written. Don't use your calling cards for your "thank you" notes. It is wretched form. A wedding gift demands a gra- cious and grateful answer in the first person. Don't fail to write your own notes. The habit some girls have of shifting this responsibility to their bridesmaids is rude, and gives rise to many ridicu- lous blunders. Don't make your notes perfunctory and stereotyped, A bride often makes a bad impression by her wedding notes to strangers that it takes years to ef- face. Be grateful without being gush- ing. Don't fail to motion the name of your fiance in writing your notes of thanks. The gifts are sent to you both though they belong to the pride.

Tha Story of Henry Irving'* Portrait as Philip I4 The queer ups and downs of a pia. tura are illustrated by the bistory of the portrait by Mistier of Henry ir- ving as Philip II. of Spain, now bang- ing in tbe Metropolitan museum, in New York. Whistler at a precarious period of his career asked his friend Irving to sit to him for a portrait in the character in which Irving was then playing, Philip 1I. The portrait was painted. and Irving, much pleas- ed, requested Whistler to let him buy It and to name it, price not too high for his slender purse. having had the pleasure of Whistler's acquaintance, the writer can imagine the following conversation: "Not too high, Jimmy! You know— aha—that actors—now, modestly, Jim - MY l" "My dear Irving, 'tis a masterpiece, but you shalt have it for a song—let us say a thousand pounds." "Too much, Jimmy—too much!" Whistler kept the portrait. • Soon after, in one of those unpleasant expe- riences which be shared with his great master, Rembrandt, he was sold out for debt. Rembrandt was sold out only twice. The "Butterfly" un- derwent three such forced sales. Irving heard of the sale. Unknown to Whistler, he was able to buy his portrait at the auction for a song, and then in a spirit of friendly retaliation be Invited the "Butterfly" to dinner. After the coffee and cigars he remark- ed, "Aha, lay dear Jimmy, you must see my latest acquisition!" and invited him in to see his pictures, not men- tioning the fact that he had bought the portrait. Whistler went from one picture to anotber, criticising, admir- ing, with that subtle, biting wit of his, and, coming in front of the portrait, he gayly remarked: "Abet What have we here? My congratulations, Henry —the best picture in your collection!" Ile never turned a hair. This picture after Irving's death brought $25,000 at auction in London, and we are lucky to have It here now. This was a legitimate advance in price, and the picture is worth it. The few pounds that Irving paid was one of those for- tuitous hazards of tbe auction room. --- Saturday Evening rent. RED TAPE iN PRAGUE. White the Offioiala Wrangled the Mat. ter Settled itself. A delightful story of circumlocution comes from Prague. One of the least imposing of the bridges in the city, the Liebner Brucke, connects two suburbs. Some time ago the toll col- lector discovered that some rabbits had invaded the district and concluded that their burrowings might threaten the stability of the bridge, so he call- ed alled the burgomaster's attention to the matter. The burgomaster decided that it did not come within his province, but he sent the representation to the committee managing the public slaugh- ter houses. The committee examined the rabbits and found they were wild, so they could do nothing, and as it was a close time the gid of the sportsman could not be impressed. Still, they did not relieve them of their moral respon- sibility. The Prague slaughter house commit. tee in turn informed the Stadtratproe- sidium, but the matter was not within its jurisdiction. Yet the stability of the bridge was beyond all things nec- essary, so the dossier was sent to the central authority for buildings. This bodyr went into the matter and con- cluded that the water authority should deal with the subject. But, no; tbe water board opined that it was for the conservators of rivers, and this body decided that rabbits could not be brought within the domain of things fluvial and that the burgomaster was the right party to take action. The dossier having completed the circle of possible departmental travels, the bur- gomaster decided to act. He appoint- ed a cammittee of investigation. The committee went to the bridge in four carriages, and then they learned that the rabbits had taken their departure for some months.—Munchner Nach• rlchten. A sturdy Scotsman had been having a dispute with his wife, which resulted in his taking refuge under the bed. As she stood on guard, with a good sized stick in her hand, he called lustily from his retreat. "Ye can lam me and ye can bate ene but ye canna break ma manly spirit. I'll no Come oot."

Then he returned to his private house and summoned bis ciiiet wife and or- dered her to bring a cup of poison. He drantt the contents and in n a Pew min- utes was dead. The widow thereupon called one or two of the principal chiefs, who prepared the body for buri- al For as long ns possible the death was kept secret. Each day the mills and beef were brought to the royal res- idence, and inquirers were informed that the king was suffering from an In- disposition which required him to rest. in the meantime the chiefs were en- raged in making private arrangements :o guard the body and protect the sa- !red herds of cattle during the wars ,vhlch would follow on the announce• nent of the death.

Only One Day In the Year For Mar- riages In Plougastel, Brittany. In the city of I'lougastel, in Brittany, Prance, all marriages take place on one and the same day. The men are alt fishermen, many of tbem going as far as the Newfoundland bunks, and are at home only during a few mouths iu the winter. One day in early Feb- ruary is set apart for the weddings. Little courting is done, but much hag- gling over the dowry of the girls, They have to briug a certain quantity of lin- en, chickens, pigs and vegetables. Fre- quently n match is broken off because the girl's father refuses to add a sack of potatoes to the dowry. On the day set the inhabitants of the entire region go to Plougastel. Tho whole population goes to church to hear mass. to take communion and to witness the wedding ceremonies. Often fifty or more coupies are united on the same day. Bride and groom do not walk together until the ceremony has been completed. For the rest of this and the whole of the next day every house is open to receive guests and to pro- vide food and drink for them. On the evening of the second day the young men carry tdowries the o 'ries of the brides to � the houses of the grooms. There they dance and frolic until early morning, and, after they leave, the couple are for the first time together and alone. During the remainder of the year no marriages are concluded,—Leslie's.
