It will be found a great help if cook- ing utensils are filled with water as scion as emptied of food instead of being allowed to stand. The sooner they are washed the better and easier it is. If dishes must wait free them of scraps, then put to soak; cover with a towel or paper. Do not throw away clean tissue paper; fold it neally, put a rubber band around it; then place it with your kitchen towels; it will be found satisfactory for polishing lamp chimneys and gas or electric light globes and to wipe out the grease from the frying pans before washing. It is very annoying to have a small cooking utensil tip over on the gas range, as it will occasionally do. It can be avoided by simply placing a flat tin lid over the burner, such as comes on lard cans, then put your cup or what- ever it may be over it. An earthenware casserole, or any dish, should be soaked in salty or soda water for 24 hours before using, so as to avoid cracking. Treated thus its term of usefulness will be prolonged.

Three charming bits of lingerie were seen a short while ago, the boudoir cap, dressing jacket and a tucked -in -petti- coat. Tho charming cap of cream lace was simply made and trimmed with that latest note in boudoir caps -black velvet ribbon. Equally charming was the short dresliing jacket of palest blue china silk, with its rippling cutaway effect, A black velvet ribbon empha- sizes a high waist line and relates the cap to the jacket. Another corresponding note was the cream lace upon the sleeves. The lace upon both° cap and jacket need not match in design or even in kind if "scraps" are being used, but the lace upon both articles should be of the same color. This matching can be ob- tained by dipping the too pale lace in tea or coffee. As cream and not ecru will probably be desired for these pieces of lingerie, the tea or coffee must be very weak.

The Youth's Companion tells of the New York flock of sheep in Central Park, which yielded twelve pounds of fleece to the sheep, and brought 33c pound. The Flesherton Advance tells of one Leicester fleece which weighed 16 pounds and netted the owner $4.13. The Sock of twenty-two sheep brought $52.12, which is not to be sneezed at. One farmer says he finds he gets as much per sheep from unwashed wool as he did when he used to wash it. The unwashed fleeee is enough heavier to make up the differene. He saves the trouble of washing and the risk of los- ing sheep while putting them through their annual bath. It is claimed that manufacturers have to wash the wool over again, and so the first washing is not necessary. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis- ease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct- ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medi- cine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, com- bined with the best blood purifiers, act- ing directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in- gredients is what produces such wonder- ful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, 0.

Distributes Seed More Evenly and Ef- fects Great Saving In Quantity, With clover, alfalfa, sweet clover and all the grass seeds usually enough seed is used to tbo acre for three or four good stands. If every seed took root and grew where it fell on the soil there would be so many plants to the square yard that none could grow welL They would stand so thickly that they' would smother each other to death. Where mechanical seeders are used to distribute the seed uniformly over the surface of the soil much less seed per acre will be required. By using a me- chanical seeder for uniform distribu- tion and covering the seed mechanical. ly a saving of fully one-half of the seed can be effected. Some farmers are afraid to disturb the soil of their wheat fields and mead- ows in spring. Where clover or other PLANTING SEED WITH HAND DRILL. small seed is to be sown in wheat In the spring the soil when dry may be cut with n dist: or toothed barrow without any injury to the wheat. In most cases the surface working will do the wheat good. and it is a sure means of planting the clover or grass seed. It is good practice to cut the surface of a thin meadow in spring with a disk bar- row for increasing the plants with clo- ver or alfalfa; harrowing with a tooth- ed harrow after cutting the surface with the disk. Sweet clover is coining into general prominence all over the country. One reason why more farmers do not grow it or try it is that they have been told animals will not eat the growing plants nor the hay. It is true that most fartn animals will not eat sweet clover at first, but as soon as they get a good taste of it and become used to it they will eat it as readily as the best corn. clover or alfalfa: Sweet clover should be sown early in the spring. It is a splendid crop to go before alfalfa to inoculate and enrich the soil. It grows rankly in wet soil and will grow large in soil too dry for almost any other cultivated plants. If used for pasture, unlike alfalfa, stock should be turned on it while the plants are young. so they will learn to eat it before it grows old and woody. It is a biennial, like red clover, and will self seed if allowed to form seed every year. The modern disk drill, of which there are many good makes, is the only good drill to use. Pages of space would be required to tell of all its good merits over the old style drill. -Iowa Home- stead. 000000000000000000000..0.0 • TO GET RID OF BEETLES. 00 00. 00000000000000000 if we could kill off all the June bugs or May beetles we should have no white grubs. Each female beetle lays between fifty and a hundred eggs, each of which is pretty likely to hatch into a grub to feed on corn roots, grains, strawberries and the like. There are three well known ways to kill the beetles. One is to spray poison on the leaves of the frees on which they feed. The second is to spread sheets, tar- paulins or canvas under the trees and jar the beetles down with a battering ram made of a plank with a cushion on the end, similar to the scheme for col- lecting the curculio. The third takes advantage ot the beetles' fondness for a lamp at night. Hang an ordinary barn lantern over a tub of 'water on the surface of which is a filth of kerosene. The latter plan seems most promis- ing, as it induces the bugs to sleek their own destruction. They fall into the oil when trying to do whatever they try to do to the fight. -Yarm and ei3,ififp. FANATICS. To the Editor:-' The Board of Trade of the City of Pittsburg at its January meeting pass- ed the following resolution without a dissenting voice: - Resolved that this organization realiz- ing as never before the increa,ing burdens of taxation caused by the liquor traffic in thin country as so conclusively shown by the figures given by the census of the United States; realizing the gain morally to the citizen -ship of our country by a material reduction of saloons; real zing that it is poor economy to allow the granting of liquor licenses which annually grind out a grist of humanity for which we must increasing- ly pay an unnecessary tax; realizing the economi2loss to the country through the inefficiency of the individual and recognizing the fact that than 47,000,- 000 of the population of our country al- ready live in territory from which liquor has been banished by the sover- eign will of the people. Be it resolved that this organization place itself on record as favorable to the passage of a bill now before Con- gress submitting the question of national prohibition to the several State Legis- latures that the question may be settled in harmony with the will of the people. According te some people the Board of Trade of the City of Pittsburg must be composed of a lot of fanatics. If so, the number of fanatics who think as they do is increasing with great rapidity. H.

It Was Made By a Poor Tailor Who Had Mighty Hard Luck. As early as 1790 there was a rude machine used by shoemakers for sew- ing the leather for boots and shoes. That was the first step in the progress of mechanical sewing, but the ma- chine was too crude to be, used on, anything finer than leather. The first really practical sewing machine was made by a poor tailor, Barthelemy Thimmonier of St. Eti- enne, France. in 1830. In Thim- monier's apparatus the needlewas hooked at the end, and, descending through the cloth It brought up with it a loop of thread that it carried through the previously made loop, and thus formed a chain on the upper surface of the fabric. Although the machine was made of wood and very clumsy, it appeared at an opportune time, for there was a great demand just then for thousands of extra army garments that could not be supplied through the regular sources. As many as eighty machines were made and used for the Govern- ment. But the occasion that made the invention successful was also the means of its downfall, for shortly af- terward an ignorant and furious mob wrecked the establishment and nearly murdered the unfortunate inventor. Thimmonier, however, was not discouraged. He went to Paris, trav- eling the entire distance on foot, without a penny in his pocket. In that city he had the good fortune to interest a firm in his invention, and preparations were made to begin manufacturing the machines. But scarcely was the enterprise started when the revolution of 1848 turned the country upside down and blasted the prospects of the resolute inventor. Still he hoped to get recognition in the great exhibition at London in 1851, but here his machine failed absolutely to attract any attention, so, downhearted and discouraged, he journey sadly back to St. Etienne and died there in 1857. Elias Howe was more fortunate. His machine, too, was more ingeni- ously made and did better work, but there is no doubt that Thimmonier, the poor French tailor, deserves the credit of making the first practical sewing machine. Sight Lost and Restored. A farmer's wife who had had much trouble with her servants was accost- ed by one of them. "I fear I shall not be able to work much longe:. I think I am going blind," "Why, how is that? Yo -r seem to get along pretty well with your work." "Yes, but I can no longer see any meat on my plate at dinner." The farmer's wife understood, and the next day the servants were serv- ed with very large and very thin pieces of meat. "How nice!" the girl exclaimed. "My sight has come hack. I can see better than ever." "How is that, Bella?" asked the mistress. "Why, at this moment," replied Bella, "1 can see the plate through the meat."-I.ondon Scraps. War Redeems an Apache. Not long before the war a notor- ious apache asked a Paris police cap- tain for a job as stool pigeon, bur- glary being dull for the moment. The captain accepted, whereupon the apache held out his hand, but the captain turned away. The other day the captain got a postcard from the apache at the front. It read: "You refused to shake my hand lately. You were quite right. But now I think you'd consent to shake my hand, for I've only one left." The captain admits he would shake hands now. Principal Cause of Cht.lera. The principal cause for an out- break of cholera is the presence of cholera bacilli in the drinking water supply of a city. Its descent is sud- den and widespread. Almost an en- tir3 population can he stricken at once. The stricken person usually is dead or on the road to recovery with- in twenty-four hours. Sometimes, however, a fever hangs on for several days, in some instances resulting in death. It is not believed that the disease can be communicated by con- tagion. The Codex Sinaiticus. The most ancient of the New Testa- ment manuscripts is the one known as the "Codex Sinaiticus," published at the expense of Alexander Il. ot Rus- sia since the Crimean war.

HOW THE STRAWBERRY CAME TO BE. When the first man was created and a mate was given to him, they lived together happily for a time, but then began to quarrel until finally the wo- man left her husband, and started off towards the Sun land in the east. The man followed alone and grieving, but the woman never looked behind. Finally the Sun took pity on the man and asked him if he were still angry with his wife. He said he was not, and then the Sun asked him if he would like to have her back again, to which he eagerly answer- ed yes. So the Sun caused a patch of the finest ripe huckleberries to spring up along the path in front of the woman, but she passed by. Further on he put a clump'of blackberries, but these also she refused to notice. Other fruits, one, two, and three, and then some trees covered with beautiful service berries, were placed beside the path to tempt her, but she still went on until suddenly she saw a patch of large ripe strawberries, the first ever known. She stopped to gather a few to eat, and as she picked them she chanced to turn her face to the west, and at once the memory of her husband came back and she found herself unable to go on. She sat down, but the longer she waited the stronger became her desire for her bus - band, and at last she gathered a bunch of the finest berries and started back along the path to give them to him. He met her kindly and they went home together. - Iudian Legend, ,from the American Bureau of Ethnology.
