Keeping rood Fresh.
lleepite the •many adrantagee if
the warm weather, it brie one seri-
ous drawback which eau ms the
housewife much perturbation and
llitriir north, .lie warmer the wea•
thew the greater chance there is
thatwhen the housewife goes to
the larder site will find a large part
of the food turned sour.
If a little forethought is exercis•
ed, however, mach of the efood can
be prevented from turning rancid
AM' sour.
Asa general rule, a dish of Char-
coal should be placed tun a shelf in
the pantry to help keep the food
sweet and fresh, The charcoal
should be changed once a week It
is al:•o wise to have some strips of
butter muslin, weighted ab each
corner, to come right +ever each
shelf to ]seep the food clear of dust.
Sour milk is perhaps the greatest
of all aggravations in the summer
tune. If a couple of tablespoon-
fuls of litre -water are put into
each pint of milk, the latter will
keep sweet much longer than it
would otherwise.
A pinch of bicarbonate of socia
will often keep milk from turning
sour. On no account should dif-
ferent lots of milk be mixed.
A good way to keep butter cool,
firm and sweet -tasting is to place
the butter on a plate, then rover
it with .a clean flowerpot. Wring a
piece of flannel through ookl water
and wrap it round the flower -pot
in such a •w'ay that the holo in the
pot remains .uncovered. If the
flannel becomes dry, wring
it
through cold water again.
Never try to freshen meat that
is tainted; it is most injtsriotis and
dangerous to do so. To keep meat
fresh ib should be hung in a cool,
dark place directly it comes from
the butcher.
if it has to be kept very long
though, it should be pub into an
earthenware bowl, covered with
hob water, and the surface of the
waster covered with pure oil. Treat-
ed in this way raw meat can
bo
kept fresh for several days, even
in the hebtest weather.
Bacon Can be kept from turning
rancid by being kept in a wooden
-tub and Covered with oak sawdust
such as can be obtained from a
sawmill, and stored in a cool, dry
place.
Boiled ham is a most useful and
popular summer diem, bat it is in-
clined to get hand and dry when
stored. To prevent this, spread
aver the cub portion with a thin
layer of butter, then with a Layer
of flout paste, and the ham will
keep beautifully moist.
Fish also tarns quickly in warm
weather if ib is simply sbored in
the usual way. •M•osb kinds can be
kept fresh, though, if the fish is
put into a basin and' well sprinkled
with salt.
About- a quarter of an hour be-
fore the fish is required for cook-
ing wash off the sant in lukewarm
water;
Vegetables usually keep fresh if
they are stored in a .dark corner
of a stone -floored cellar. and •cover-
ed over with a damp eloth. To en-
eure these keeping absolutely crisp
and 'fresh, place some water in a
s'hal'low vessel and stand -the root
end of the vegetables an inch deep
in water.
To keep cheese fresh avoid get-
ting a very large piece at a time,
and wrap it in a clean, damp cloth
before putting it away.
Cakes and bread ,should be stor-
ed in airtight :tins, and if a piece of
out bread can be poet into each
the ib will do a great deal to pre-
vent the cakes and .bread becoming
stale.
By following these instructions
many hob -weather :troubles will be
avoided. And surely it is worth
while to ado away With anything.

of mashed potatoes, one egg, and a
few tluin slices of bacon, Scald
the Finnan haddie, dry t.htlrough-
lv, and brush with melted dripping,
then broil. Cut in pieces suitable
for serving. Have ready three
cupfuls of well -seasoned ' mashed
potatoes, beaten until creamy;
whip in the eve- and '-ire all on to
the fish, Brush lightly with milk,
and garnish with thin slices of ba
con. Set in a hot oven until the
bacon is cooked and the potatoes
browned. Serve at once.

If the bright parts of the kitchen
range turn black from heat, dip a
cloth in vinegar and rub on the
blackened parts.
Remember that when pouring
hint fruit in a glass jar, if the jar is
placed upon a wet cloth while the
fruit is being poured in, ib will pre-
vent its cracking.
Perch, brook trout, catfish and
all small fish are beat fried. These
small fish should swim twice, once
in water and once in hot fat. The
fat should be boiling holt before
putting the fish in.
When colored clothing is stained
with mud, let it dry and brush out
all you can. Then apply a mixture
of salt and flour, let it remain on,
in. a dry place, for a day or two,
then thrush off.
Brown flour to thicken brown
gravies can be made by putting a
pint of flour in a Dutch oven 'with
some coals under, and keep stir-
ring constantly until it is dark
brown, but not burnt.
If painb brushes 'have dried stiff
with the paint in them, 'let them
simmer a few minutes in -vinegar
which has been brought to the
boiling poinb. Remove and wash
thoroughly in strong .soap sods.
Glassware and water bottles
coated with a white crust from hard
water may be cleaned by abrong
vinegar. Put it in the water bot-
tle and shake it around a bit, then
let it stand till the lime is cut,
when it •may be washed in the usnal
way.
Puffed crackers to serve with

A LESSON IN POLITENESS,
Now a Sailor Got Even With His
Captain.
The captain of a certain large sail-
ing vessel is probably the most polite
officer in the whole mercantile service,
He has, however, a great idea of hie
Importance, and loses no opportunity
of impressing it Upon his Drew, In
particular, he insists being addressed
as "Sir" by every one on board. One
day a new hand joined the ship, and
a short time after leaving harbor, be-
ing a seasoned old salt, he was en-
trusted with the wheel. The captain
came up and pat the usual question:—
"How's her head?"
"Nor'.by-east," answered the old tar,
Very guffly.
"My man," suavely answered the
captain, "on this draft, when one of
'the drew speaks to me, he gives me a
title of respect, Don't you think you
might do so too. Now how's her
head'?"
"Nor' -by east, T tell per;" shouted the
tar, displaying not a little irritation.
"PM afraid you don't quite unciei'-
stand rap; responded the captain good
huinoredly, "Let me relieve you at
the wheel, and then do you take my
place, and ask me the questions, I will
then show you how it should be an.
aworal."
They accordingly changed plaeee,
"Ow's her'pad?" shouted the tar,
"Nor' -by -east, sir," voplied the cap;
taiir, with gentle emphasis bit the "sir."

William Hedges, a shepherd, who has been employed on a Berk-
shire farm of three thousand acres for seventy-one years and never
anywhere else. He is still working, and never happier than when
among his flock of sheep. His son has worked with him for thirty-
three years, and his grandson for over ten years without a•change and
on the same farm. The olid man began work at the age of seven, and
is now seventy-eight years old. Our picture shows William Hedges

SOME QUEER NAMES.
As They Iiave Appeared in the
Hawaii Direetory.
The natives of Hawaii are singu-
larly pieturesue in their .choices of
names. Mr. Scissors, The Thief,
The Ghost, The Fool, The Man Who
Washes His Dimples, Mrs, Oyster,
The Weary Lizard, The Husband of
Kaneia (a male god), The Great
Kettle, The -First Nose, The Atlan-
tic Ocean, The Stomach, Poor Pussy
Mrs. Turkey, The Tenth Heaven,
are all names that have appeared
in the city directory.
They are often careless of the
gender or appropriateness of the
names they. take. A householder
on Beretania Street, Honolulu, is
called The Pretty Woman (Wahine
Maikai); a male infant was lately
christened Mrs. Tompkins ; one
1it•UM girl is named Samson; ano-
ther, The Man; Susan (Kukena)mis
a boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane
Peter, and Henry Ann. A pretty
little maid has been named by her
fond parents, The Pig -sty ''(Hale
Pua). For some unknown reason—
or for no reason at all—one boy is
named The Rat Eater (Kamea Oi i
Ole).
Tho Rev. Doctor Coan, of Hawaii,
possessed the love of his flock. One
morning a ehild was presented for
baptism whose name was given by
the parents, Milkia; when the cere-
mony was finished, the parents as-
sured the doctor that they head
named the baby for him, "But
my name is not Michael," said the
doctor, supposing Mikia to be aim-
ed thereat. "We always hear your
wife call you mikia 1" answered the
mother. She ,had mistaken Mrs.
Coan's familiar "itny dear" Inc her
husband's given name.
An old servant in Doctor Wight's
family, at Kohala, caused her
grandchild to be baptized in church
The Doctor (Kauka); that was its
only name: By way of eo.mpliluent
to the early physicians, many chil-
dren were named after their drugs,
as Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb,
The Emetic, The Doctor Who Peeps
lie kb A Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even
disgusting, are willingly borne by
their owners; others convey a pleas-
ing and graceful sentiment. Among
the latter are the Arch of Heaven
(Ka Pia Lani), The River of w
light (Ka Witt Lillie), The Delicate
Wreath (I(a Lei ria Lii). The naive.
of Lili.0 0 Kalani, the, queen now in
retirement, means A Lily in the
Secy.
LIGHT NOZZLES, .
is reflected from the page that the lat-
ter will appear indistinct, to say noth-
ing of the eye strain caused by the
direct rays of the lamp. If, however,
the light course is shaded so that its
direct rays do not fall upon the eyes
of the reader, but are directed upon
the reading matter, the reading will
be made much easier and excessive
eye strain will be eliminated.
The above example has a general
application in the illumination of
rooms or offices. No lamp should be
hung in the ordinary line of vision un-
less it is covered by a globe or re-
flector; that is, it must not be neces-
sary for a person to look past an un-
shaded bare lamp to see objects of
Interest about the room. The intense
rays of a bare lamp not only interfere
with the vision of the observer, but
produce a strain on the eyes that is
exceedingly tiring to occupants of the
MOM.
In addition to protecting the eyes,
and thereby aiding vision, reflectors
increase the amount of useful light
obtained from a lamp. The ordinary
incandescent lamp when used without
a reflector gives out a great deal of
light in upward and horizontal direc-
tions; all this light, except that which
is reflected downward by the walls and
ceiling, is useless, for it is generally
in the lower portion of the roonlthat
the light is to be used. Good reflec-
tors not only reflect the light down-
ward, but reflect it in such a manner
that it is directed upon the objects it
is desired to illuminate.
