KITCHEN HELPS.
Bedtlcking, not too heavy, makes
excellent dish towels, as it has no lint.
Wash thoroughly before hemming.
Half a lemon placed in the water in
which dish towels and kitchen cloths
are soaked ls said to sweeten them
wonderfully.
Dip a cloth in kerosene oil and rub
It all over the metal teakettle. Let
stand half an hour and wash off with
soapsuds. Polish with newspaper and
baking soda. Do this weekly.
Conveniently near the range in the
kitchen should be placed the sink and
the dresser, not too far from the table
and range. You have then the princi
pal articles so placed that the labor
will be much lightened.
Borax is a useful thing to have In a
kitchem Add a little to the water when
boiling out enameled saucepans, and it
will help to cleanse them. If added to
the water dishcloths are washed in, it
will help to keep them a nice color.
System In Housekeeping-.
One of the first things for the woman
struggling for system to do is to try to
get the work of her house in perspec
tive. This is not easy. It is a truism
that women are lacking in a sense of
proportion, and it is not a simple mat
ter for one of them to get herself men
tally far enough from her work to de
cide the relative importance of each
item. But she must do it if she is to
develop her system of work in the
right way. She should mentally range
her duties in order and divide them in
to what must be done and what may
be done if circumstances permit. The
firat list will be long enough, but the
second will exceed it. Tbe chief trou
ble with housekeepers ls that they get
the items of the two lists mingled and
confused.—Harper's Bazar.
Cream Cheese.
To make delicious cream cheese after
an English dairy recipe take a quart of
sweet milk, adding a cupful of cream
if a rich cheese is desired, and add a
few drops of liquid rennet This ren
net may be had in little tabloids also.
Place the milk in a warm corner for
twenty-four hours. Throw in a little
salt and stir well. Wring out in ice
water a napkin or linen cloth and put
the cheese in it, tying up tightly. Hang
this up to drain. Change the napkins
at night and leave hanging. The cheese
is ready to eat in twenty-four hours.
Steamed Ham.
A small ham may be steamed instead
of boiled. Prepare tbe ham in the usu
al manner by soaking it in cold water
for eighteen hours and afterward scrub
bing and trimming it. Put it in the
steamer over boiling water and cook,
allowing half an hour to each pound
of ham. The reason ham is so often in
digestible is that it is underdone. In
Vienna hospitals, where great attention
is paid to the dietary, ham, boiled and
baked until it falls to pieces under the
fork, is given patients convalescing
from typhoid fever.
A K.JVIGHT
IJV KEITH
ST'A. IJV SSSm
Copyright, tPOi, by Frances Wilson
The partition was not very thick, and
the girl often heard him whistling or
singing in the next room. Ilis reper
tory was extensive and confusing.
"She's the bestest girl that is, and I
aeed her in my biz," would float ln to
her, followed perhaps by the strains of
"Samson et Delilah" or some music
squally fine.
One knew the sort of a man who
would sing coon songs with gusto; also
the sort that would hum bits from the
grand operas. The puzzling thing was
to know what sort of a man would
take an impartial delight ln both. So
In the intervals of her work she began
to speculate about her unknown neigh
bor.
At the end of two months she tabu
lated her knowledge of him. He was
gay and debonair. Witness the scraps
ot song that floated ln to her. He was
carelessly indifferent to women. This
she gleaned from the fact that five
days out of seven she could hear him
tunefully asserting:
If she be not fair to me.
What care I how fair she be!
He smoked inveterately—a pipe, she
fancied. Sometimes the faint, elusive
spirit of the thing seemed to float
about her hall bedroom, and she
sniffed again and again, her small
head well in the air, but could never
be quite sure. The partition bore her
startled scrutiny lmperturbnbly, but
well, she was sure she smelled smoke.
He was about thirty. This she di
vined from the freshness of his voice
and his boyish delight in the chatter of
the elderly chambermaid, whose Irish
wit would send him into peals of
laughter.
Also he was a man of the world,
since she heard him come in early
many evenings and move about his
room as if dressing for dinuer. Then
at half past 0 or 7 he would go out
again, leaving her with an absurd
sense of desolation.
They never encountered each other
in the halls, much to her satisfaction,
but she came to have a very distinct
Idea of his appearance. He was tall,
broad and straight, with a clear cut
face and an air of knowing his way
about,
"Sure, an' he's a foine gintleman,"
Maggie informed her once; but, though
she might have verified her idea of
him, she refrained with a fine sense of
personal reserve. Sometimes through
the open door she caught a glimpse of
his room, and her Interested eyes took
in the dark green walls, covered with
handsome photographs, the low book
cases on either side of the fireplace
and the low, broad tabic with its litter
of books and papers.
"It certainly looks as if be were an
Interesting man," she thought to her
self, and thereupon she entered her
own room, and, taking out a sheet of
paper bearing the mystical heading
"My Knight In Spain," she wrote:
"Evidently educated—a college man;
profession, law, literature or some
thing of the kind."
"Maggie, is there any one in the next
room?" she heard him Inquire one Sun
day morning. Then in answer to Mag
gie's muffled reply: "Little Miss Mouse,
I should call her. I didn't know there
was any one there, though once or
twice I've thought I heard some one."
The girl bluffhed guiltily. Apparent- |
ly he had no idea how plainly she j
could hear him. Then she smiled to
herself. So he would call her little
Miss Mouse. Well, it was fair enough,
since she called him her Gentleman of
Spain.
For awhile after this she noticed a
decided effort on her neighbor's part to
go softly. Iv the midst of a stave he
would cease abruptly, only to begin i
afresh and stop again with an impa
tient exclamation, as if he were an
noyed at not being able to remember I
to be quiet. At all of which, in the se
clusion of her room, little Miss Mouse
laughed immoderately, though in si
lence.
Then one morning Maggie found her
in bed, her usually pale face flushed,
her heavy hair covering the pillow in
a tossed and tangled mass.
"It's nothing, but perhaps you'd bet
ter get a doctor," gasped Miss Mouse.
"My head's so queer, and, oh, I'm so
warm!"
Soon after a serene faced nurse in a
striped uniform and white apron was
installed in the room, and to her little
Miss Mouse, down with brain fever,
talked an unending jargon.
"If you can have a castle in Spain,
you can certainly have a knight in
Spain, can't you?" she demanded over
and over again.
"Of course you can," soothed the
nurse.
"I'd be very lonely if he vanished,
as castles in Spain do," she said at
another time, with wistful, puzzled
eyes. "You don't think he will van
ish, do you? Because I'm all alone
La-re He's the only person I really ;
know.
"Won't you ever tell, upon your hon
or?" she rambled on. "It's very
strange. I don't just understand it,
but actually I have never seen bim:
Can you believe it, I've never seen j
him. and yet I know him so well. I ;
don't understand it, and my bead is ,
splitting. Hold it! Hold itr*
The man in the next room was very ■
quiet these days. From Maggie he
had learned of the little artist's ill-j
ness, and from her also he heard of
Ita strange hallucination about the
man ln Spain. When she told him he
shot a quick, piercing look from his
deep set eyes, but evidently there waa ;
o© connection ln her mind between th*
sick girl's funcy and himself.
Instinctively he knew the truths
TOW little girl," he mused. "liOnHy,
struggling, with nothing to f<*ed b«r
love of companionship and romancer
Jpon but the sense of fellowship with*
the uasten occupant of the next room.
It is well that she hasn't Men this ugly
nun,' of mine," he concluded grln.ly.
So he fell into the way of stopping:
lo inquire about her of the nurse eachi
morning and then of sending grc«t:
punches of violets, upon which the sick.
Sirl's half conscious eyes rested luter
au with dreuujy pleasure.
"Who picked them?" were her first
Intelligent words when the fever left
her and she became herself. Then*
realizing where she was and what had.
happened, she laughed weakly and co*v
rected herself, "Who sAit them, 1
mean?" ;
At the reply a faint color crept into
her cheeks, and she murmured some
thing the nurse did not catch.
Then came the days when she sat
up, feeling like a new creature come
to a new world, though In appenranoat
she was more than ever like a frail
child.
"Come in. I think she would like to
thank you," said the nurse when one
day the man stopped to make his usu
al Inquiry, and a moment later he was
standing before little Miss Mouse, his
heart thumping at the gaze of two
dark fringed eyes that reminded him
of violets.
She stammered out her thanksv
scarcely knowing what she said, so
great was her astonishment, for, to
fact, the Knight ln Spaiu, whose face
she thought she knew as well as her
own, was dark and most uncompro
misingly ugly. Besides, he was old
forty If he was a day—and—and—
In another moment her surprise was>
forgotten. A big, strong hand was
holding hers, and the voice that she
liked so much was speaking. There
was a vibrant tenderness in it that she
had never noticed before—that seemed
personal, that suggested, outlandish am
the idea was, that to her of all the wo
men in the world would be ever speak
in just that tone.
It was on their honeymoon that,
longing to hear over aud over again,
tbe beautiful truth, he questioned:
"You're sure you don't regret marry
ing an ugly brute like me?"
She laughed softly, laying her cheek
aguinst his, but she did not speak.
With quick pain he pulled the face
down where he could look Into the*
depths of those dark fringed eyes. His
lips touched her hair, and he mur
mured brokenly, "Oh, little Misa
Mouse!"
The Dang-ern of Orohitl IlnntliiK.
The most beautiful region the orchid
collector meets in his travols is along;
the Orinoco, the Rio Negro and the
Amazon, in South America. The seen-,
cry at times passes beyond the beauti
ful and becomes so grand as to be al-"
most terrible. Everything is on such a'
great scale. The rivers are the largest ,
in the world, veritable seas at high
water, the vegetation luxuriant beyond
comparison and the animal and flsb
life startlingly strange. There we find
the Cattleya schroederoe, a magnificent
orchid with white flowers, which
blooms about Easter time. But the?
dangers and vexations of a trip or»
the Orinoco, for instance, would hardly
be believed. Miles and miles back
from the coast in the district whern
the orchids are found the Indians are
in a wild state and are foes to all white
men. They lurk In the bushes along
the banks of the river and shoot poi
soned arrows at you if you happen to*
venture within range of their blow
guns. The center of the stream is the>
only safe place. During the rainy sea
son the mosquitoes swarm on the Ori
noco in clouds, and sleep is next to im
possible. Even the grass when you
venture ashore is your enemy.—Har
per's Weekly. i
I The Spoiled Children of the World.
| Burmese children are the spoiled chil-pi
dren of the world, according to V. C. j
I Scott O'Connor. In his hook, "The
j Silken East," he says that they are
never punished by their parents, who
universally adore them. Tbey grow up
in the open air with all the grace of
j young, unchecked life. "The sheer Joy
iof life abides in them," says be, "and i
they seem to live perpetually at play .
jin the village street, where they play :
; a game of ninepins with the great seels
'of a Jungle creeper; in the monastery, j
'< where they lie upon the floor and
scream out their lessons with lusty de
light; in the river, in which they splash
'■■ and plunge before they can walk; at
the play, where tfcey crawl about
among the feet of the prima donna and
the posing kings, and at the pagoda,
where they hold flowers before tbem
\ with faces screwed up to gravity, with
laughter pent up behind it. And if there
be any dispute about the good looks of
tbeir elders there can be none as to the
prettiness of Burmese children."
Creature* of the Infathomed Deepv
Such fierce carnivorous fishes as ex
ist in the depths of the ocean are un
known at the surface. There is the
"black swallower," which devours oth
er finny creatures ten times as big a»
' itself, literally climbing over Its vie
! Tim, first with one Jaw and then with,
the other. Another species is nearly
' all mouth, and, having no power of lo
comotion, lt lies buried ln the soft ooze
at tbe bottom, its head alone protrud
; Ing, ready to engulf any prey that may
wander into its cavernous Jaws. There
is a ferocious kind of shark resembling
' a huge eel. All of these monsters are
as black as ink. Some of them are per
! fectly blind, while others have enor
| mous goggling eyes. No ray of sun
i light ever pierces the dark, unfathom
;ed caves in which they dwell. Bacfci
species is gobbled by the species next
bigger, for there is no vegetable life to.
i feed on.
