Some Suggestions Which Slay ht f Cm
to II nr.
In tho household cotiuun we shall include
everything tliat seems of benefit W house
kerpers. That will 1 always the first ob
ject We shall not follow after wild y ex
travagant devices, but coniliino ecouoniy
with utility in all thing. There can Iw no
higher, U tter object in life than trying to
make one's own home txulthful, hajipy, com
fortable and pretty. Every home but tho
very ptiorcst ran l all of thene.

Horn Slaxie Curtains.
Curtains made of alternate strips of turkey
red end diet cloth are pretty trimmed with
antique U-e, IknuUful curtains can 1
tnrule of the best choie cloth by stenciling
them, or, if economy m not a consideration, a
soft nun's veiling, partly silk, is still letter.
If the material w wi.lo enough to be in one
piece, it is lietter than to have n seam, btit if
not, make tho seam as invLsibte as possible.
In tho first ilaiX), measure tho window,
alloiug a littte fulnct, and allow thre
tighihs of a yard extra in tho kngth to turn
over for a tieading. Next stretch it tightly
and smoothly on a table, and fasten with
small tucks. Sctoct some simple design
wliidj will look well in outline, such as a
rlai.-y or sunflower or n star. Draw the out
line neatly on h piece of cardloard, then cut
out carefully wilhasluirp jonknifo. Now
there are two ways of managing. Oneway
is b us.- the perfectly cut oiK-uing in tho
cardboard 1 hut remains after tho design is
cut out as a stencil, lay it on the cloth, and,
w iih a fine runtc-l' hair or snblo brush, paint
over the ojieitspfU'e with gold paint, or the
U-ai.tiful metallic "lustre" jaints. caiv
ful to till out all the jioints in the pattern.
llcMs-it the design at intervals till within
three eighths of a yard of tho top. Turn
that pic over and iwiiit the iatt(-ru on Uie
other si.li'. Turn the piiN-e over mi l sew
small bias iiiigx on to hang it on a brass
rsl. Finish Urth top and U 'ttoin w ith gold
fringe, and make several ro vs or leaUi'T
stit-hinj wih gold P nlove fjip fr'i.
Another pretty way uf making cheap cur
tains is to take unbleached muslin and with
'diamond dyes mako a bputter work design of
ferns.
lively vestibule curtains may U. made by
diking a white turlataji and cutting enough
larger than tho glass to admit of an inch
wide hem all around. Cut from largoflgund
satin finished crvU.uno, flowers, leaves and
butterflies if jossible. Make a thin starch
paste and pato them on the tarlatan in
opravs or wreaths. Turn on the wrong side
and press until dry with a warm flatiron.
The light shines through them and they have
the effect of U-ing painted. They will keep
clean a long time. Mrs. C. tv Fox in Ooml
Heusekeeping.
ArtUlie Stoves.
We nro rejoiced to we an attempt to im
prove the appearance of stove.-, there is no
other piece of manufactured furniture that
is so unnecessarily homely and forbidding,
excepting pianos. The stove men and piauo
men have ten artistically sleepy ever since
the (ir-t of each was made thousands of yenin
ago. The sheet iron enormities that are
brought into our rooms and set down for our
physical comfort, presumedly, uro such de-liU-raM
and vicious horrors that the warm
ing public has dually got up a justiliable and
w-idespr-ad strike, since strikes are in fasti
ion, and have actually driven the manufac
turers to a contemplation of something less
delirious and nlghtmareish in tendency. If
there are such people in existence as stove
designers they have lived ft sineeiirish life
heretofore, for the strain on their brain has
Wn at a minimum, but the tax on their
nerves must have been ex-esxive. At any
rate the manufacturers are cutting loose from
these old time forms and making use of the
healthier ideas of artifts and as a consequence
producing something worthy or comment.
hecorutor and Furnisher.
Tomatoes and Mae ronl.
Not everybody in aware what a delicious
di-h can lie made in a simple manner from
these two constituents. Maccaronl, imported
or home mu le, it sold done up in pound pack
ngis or boxes. It is very nutritious, contain
ing egg and flour among its constituents.
Our American housekeeper do not muke half
the use of it they might.
Now for the recipe: Take some long, thin
sticks of muecaroni and break th-m into a(
saucepan, in bits one to two inches long.
They swell nUmt half in siw in process or
cooking, ('over them amply with water,
niul boil till they are quito soft, twenty min
utes to half an hour. Ktir occasionally, to
keep the broken lilts from settling to the bot
tom and sticking.
While the inaecaroni boils, scald half a
dozen riie tomatoes, more or less, according
to the quant ity desired, and slii-e them. When
the inaecaroni is 6oft enough to run a fork
through easily, pour the water nearly all off
mid slide the toinotoes in with tlie miiccaroni.
Cook gently for ten minutes more and season
with salt, jicpiier and butter. A little milk
or cream makes a pleasant addition. Serve
hot.
The ls of I.emon.
The juice of half a lemon in a glass of
water, w ithout sugar, will frequently cure a
sick hendn'-he.
If the hands tie stained there is nothing that
will remove the stain better than a lemon or
a lemon und salt
After the juice has been squeezed from the
lemon, the refuse can be used for theinirjvwe.
licniou juice is also a try good remedy
for rheumatism and the ho called biliousness
of slicing. In the latter case the juice should
lie taken U.fore breakfast. Tlie pulp may
also be eaten, avoiding every particle of
skin.
Lemon jui?e and sugar, mixed very thi k,
is useful to relieve cough and sore throats.
It must be very acid as well as sweet.
To Restore Faded Carpet.
Faded car'ts, rugs or tapestries may be
much improved in appearance by the ap
plication of liquid des. An old carpet
that is more faded than worn may be thor
oughly cleaned, beaten and dusted until the
pile is free from lint or dust. It should then
l wiped over with a cloth wrung out of hot
soap suds. The pile should be fairly damp,
and before it is dry should I bru-bed with
a stiff broom to raisa any of the threads
that may have loome packed down. When
nearly dry go over it with the liquid colors
carefully, applying those colors as they orig
inally aj'peared as nearly as jiossible.
Bain Cooked in Cider.
Tut a pint of cider and a cup of brown
sugar into enough water to rover the bam:
U.il three hours, until the skin wfll Jieel off
ensilv. Remove the skin and cover with a
cru-t of sugar, and bake in a slow oven
three hours. Dissolve a cup of mgar in
jiint of cider, and has the ban. freq-ently
while linking. If the b&ui la Very swmt, use
low sugar. ,

How to Keep Yourself Well and How to

Silk I n.ler lotliiil .
Then' i- a widely jneVideut idea that silk is
tie-U-sf Milis'aii'-c from which to make un
ilerclotliing, and I have known many jioor
girls to stint tlieiUM-!ves in the necessaries of
Jife in order to save enough money to pur
chase tilk under.-unients. K.nt silk is not
the best material with which to make under
clotlus, so far as concerns their health juv
serving qualities, whatever may U-its ad
vantages so far as Uauty and immediate
comfort are concerned. Tlie chief obje.-t of
underclothing is the retention of the natural
heat of the body in such a way that low tem-peratun.-s
and sudden chunges ill not effect
the surface. Several years ago I performed
some experiments which went to slimy U
yond a doubt that silk is below-woo) in its
jMiwer to prevent the toss of heat from the
body and very little superior to cotton. In
deed, nothing is in this rosjieot preferable
to wool, and of this material all undercloth
ing meant for winter use should lo made.
In summer a mixture of wool and cotton
called merino may lie worn, but even iu very
hot weatle-r silk is not desirable, for it is not
such a ready a'isorlier of the perspiration as
is wool, and hence allows the Uly to U- kept
in a state not very remote from that know n
as parboiled. Wool, however, taking up as
it d.x-s the moisture from the Uxly, excises it
to the action of the atmosphere, it is evaio
rated, and tlie process being a. cooling one,
keep the skill from becoming overheated.
Signs of tlie Tongue.
The tongue is the indicator of the system.
A white coated tongue indicates febrile dis
turbance; a brown, moist tongue indicates
disordered digestion or overloaded pussagi-s;
a brown, dry tongue indicutes depressed
vitality, as iu typhoid conditions and blood
poisoning; a red, moist tongue indicates de
bility, as from exhausting discharges; a red,
dry tongue indicates pyrexia, or any inflam
matory fever; a ''strawberry" tongue, with
prominent papilla1, indicates scarlet fever, or
rotheln; a red, glazed tongue indicates debil
ity, with want of assimilative power of di-
pest ion; a tremulous, flabby tongue indicates
delirium tremens; he.sitancy in protruding
tho tongue indicates con aission of the brain;
pro) riisioii at one side indicates paralysis of
the muscles on that. side. Hall's Journal of
Health.
Tlie First Kule of I'olileness.
The truest, noblest rule of Jioliteness was
given nearly 'J.noO ycai-s ago by the grandest
gentleman that ever hod. It was simply
this; Whatsoever ye woidd that m n should
do unto you, do ye even so to them. The
person who docs that will never have any
trouble ill U ing polite. Real courtesy is
, ' ,1 i; lone on a feeling of kindliness and
j. ... ,, i 'i - He's fellow man. -In honor
prei -M ill . - '' o, In r," says the same in
spired ui.iiiii il , politeness that contains tho
royal ruin. To keep one's eyes ojien habitually
to the comforts of others, giving way to
them iu small things, watching 's opjior
tunity to do little and great ie ts of k indues,
iu our homes, to our relatives, friends, neieh.
IhU's, and to the poorest and humblest, (his it
is to be truly polite. One who lias lived iu
tho backwoods all his or tier life, and who
observes tln-se things cannot go far out of the
way in any company.
There aro fashions of sm ial etiquette which
change from time to time. These can U
learned from books, from watching rlos ly
wliat others do who are accustomed to what
Is considered "U'.st society."
A Question of Etiquette.
Susan asks-If a lady is chatting with a
gentleman at an evening party, and she is
joined by another gentleman, w hom hc pre
fers to chat with, how i nn she signify it to
the one already with tier, wiih-ait giving just
offence 1
The etiquette is for the gentleman
the lady when tlie other joins them, to give
way to tlie new comer. Rut if the two men
seem inclined to leave it to the lady to deride
she may make n slight inclination of tlie
head to the one she prefers to leave, ns if to
say good evening, taking the otlier'sariii and
stalking off at the same time. All such
things, however, are so d' peiiih ut upon the
circumstances relationship of the parties,
etc., that it is difficult to give a rule to cov-r
any rase.
Women's Names.
Charles Dudley Warner rightfully insists
that women shall call themsrlviti by their
own names, instead of their husbands'. For
instance If Mary (ireen marries Ri-hnrd
Roe, she is not ppqierly Mrs. Ri. hard Foe,
but Miry (Jieeti Roe. The rorrei t way
wou'd lie to give a gii l at baptism oi.lv on
name U-i.l- that, of her family, m s.i.vplv
Mary (ireen. When shemarriis she 1 n- only
to add the name of her husband Mary (ireen
