How t* Bacara m hull, Staastj, Olaar Ught. AMPS are undonbtedly troublesome until you learn to manageLhem. “They Uke to much time," say my own friends enjoying the clear yet aoft light my many lamps 5 ive, 1 have six or seven in ally usa. I give to them just ten minutes every morning. 1 have them all collected on one tray, then trim, replenish, polish and restore them to their places. 1 do this work myself. My experience baa taught me that few. if any, servants can be made to give just the exact shade of sttentioa or possess the degree of intelligence required to keep a lamp in perfect order. Yet nothing la more simple. Starting with a new lamp, 1 first thoroughly dry tha wick in the oven for five or ten minutes, acoording to its thickness. Some people soak the wick in vinegar, and then thoroughly dry it. Fill the reservoir with oil so that when the wiok is m there will be a depth of one inch, at least, unfilled; it will be sure to smell if the oil cornea to tha top. On the other hand, lamps with only little oil at the bottom of the reservoir ah ould not be lighted, aa tha empty apace is filled with an explosive gas. Meantime I attend to the chimney. New chimne/a are often Very dirty and must be washed; but this is the only occasion on which I ever wash a chimney. It never needs it again unless the wicks smoke. I place the onimney in frftntof the fire to get thoroughly hot, aa it will ba less likely to crack hereafter. In trimming the wick I naa the burner as guide by which to act. In order to do this one may be obliged to bend out the-chtm-ney gallery. It is always made of soft metal, and is easily re-adjusted. The first trimming of a new wick should be exact, it saves vexation and much future trimming. So much for a new lamp. In my daily routine, when the lamps are collected, I arm myself with the oil fiUar, lamp scissois (rarely needed) some soft paper, a soft rag, preferablv an old piece of cheese clotti, a fair-sized bottle brush, and a soft clean linen rag. Rags and paper are fresh every morning. Wrap the iinen rag smoothly round the brush, remove the chimneys, breathe inside, and at once polish with the rag around brush, one bv oue. 1 polish the outside with a rag only. The chimney rests upon an open wirework cage, and if this cage is choked up the chimneys will probably crack. If the least 8pec*k of burnt wick is left there it causes a smell. One can generally take the cage ofi and should do so when possible: if not it must be wiped carefully and picked clear and open with a fine, hairpin or needle if necessary. Turn the wicks the least bit above the burners and wipe the charred portion oil of each with soft paper. Then I gently wipe again with the rag, being careful to leave theto Perfectly smooth and free from loose pits. Then 1 turn them quite down, and «ipe away any stale oil that niny adhere to the inside of the burners. Where one is sure to light the lamps oneself, the wicks can be leit doan, as oil often “sacks up” and oozes over. I never Ifght mine, so I' turn the wicks just right for lighting and direct the maid to wipe the metal part with soft tissue paper immediately before lighting, a! oil will ooze in a short time even through brass and copper, and one drop of it on the mctnl will produce an o‘ily smell, and do away with all the labor of Uie morniug.

How Much of the lliaoomfort May Be Avoided.

(Philadelphia Times ] OVINQ day and houae-clcBuiug time are the most u n e o m f ortable epochs i a the houiehol deFa life. The men of the family especially feel their depressing influence, and it is due to them, as weliaa to the credit of the housewife, to make everything move as easily as this unpleasant traniitiou state will allow. To begin with, If good fortune ordains that you are to move into a new house, or at any rate, one that is not being vacated as you come into posseuiou, the first step is to have the cleaning done and the carpets laid before ‘be vans have started from your former home. It is wise to send the carpets away to a cleandFs and have them returned to tne new abode lust in time to form the background of the chairs and bedsteads tba^are on the wing. When the carpets are down things do net appear oue half so wildly chaotio, and the feelings to a certain degree are saved by this bit of foresighL Tbe taking np of carpets eanses much heavy work, and it is well to hire a man for this nurpoM, though manr housekeepers insist upon drawing the taeki themselves. If this ia done do not begin at tbe top of the house, bat take the parlot first, aa ws assure you from actual experience that by the time two rooms are finished such careful drawing of each individual tack will not dutinguisn the latter to tbe marked degree that waa shown in the first. If you care most for your parlor carpet we implore you draw the tacks there first. In packing, barrelt are of great service for china and book*, but k is not whil to mix these two clemente indiscriminately. China by itself, books by themselves, is the wiser plan. As far aa possibls, pack a room at a time, in such a way that when the unpacking time oomes you will not be under the painful necesaity of undoing the piano from its covering in order to find the coaA ■cuttle. Be absolutely extravmnt in the use of your pencil aad mark each and everythinc as it is done up unless its shape proclaims unmistakably what it is. This generous seribbllng prorsa a delightful means of idsntification when a host of knobby, heterogeneous paper 'packages and boxes confront you aud yon haven't the least idea in which one yon putthe toastingfork or the baby’s bonnet Put in one box or trunk those things that will be wanted at once and then do not lose tight of that treasure chest As soon as you can, get the men folks settled in some

always the best means of eonveyance, for it is safe te say that even the contents qf Buckingham Palaoe would nut look pattlclarly well in an uncovered wagop, to say j Bothing of the additional safety that is as- | sored by the large, roomy vehicles with padded sides and rain*proof tops. COMFORT FOR THK HOB8K.

“Look at this one,” said Madame, aa she brought to view a black lace straw with a huge Virot bow of yellow crepe at the back. “Now, I would not allow myself to sell that hat; yellow is a hoPhouse color; that should only grow indoors.” The Virot bow is alaays placed against the back of ths hat, the jet buckle that confines it resting its edge on the hair. It is made from a one-yard length of silk (preferably watered) cut on tbe bias and three-eighths in width. The edges are well turned in and blind stitched Tha two ends of the silk are sewed together, so tliat the strip becomes a circle. It is folded then into four loops, two on either side, the upner ones a bit longer than the lower ones, and tbe lower edges of each loop drawn tighter than the upper edge—this compasses the extreme pointed effect. Holding tbe loops firmly in place with the fingers, the left (oops are turned over *the right ones, and the whole tied into an ordinary "tight knot.” This forms the knot in the center that confines and completes tbe bow, without any sewing to be done. A jet buckle is fastened over this knot, or a few small rhinestone stick pins hold it in place. BTA8 SILK THE BEST. • Wide ribbon can be used to makeaVirot, bnt bias silk is preferable. When such a bow is placed at the back only a low bunch of flowers is used in front, or in some cases ■imply a large buckle. As all the spring huts are to have decided crowns, even to cone shaped ones, a Virot bow does not appear singular. The butterfly is another favorite. It is much smaller than tbe Virot, and is attempted only with the brimleaa bate. It is made from silk or satin qn the bias. Two wide pieces, eight fnebes wide and fiveeighths of a yard in length, are laid upon each other and run together around the edges on the wrong side and then turned, tlie bias ends pulled to decided points. This strip is tied into tbe usual double bow, the ends left long. • It is to be placed at the back of an oblong toque; tbe full loops have a stick-pin run through the center, catching them down to the hat, and making each loop look like two. The knots in the center is pulled by the hands into slightly elongated form, and the two pointed ends are drawn down over the hair. With some hate two iridescent wings are placed m the front, and the flying etlect is more thoroughly carried out. This idea is adopted with Mercury wings. Two are placed in front and two in the back, especially if the hat is a turban or j«t bonnet The outline is artistic. TAM BOWS FOB HAT FRONTS. The Princess Tam bow will be seen on many of the “running hats.” It is simpler in construction than any of the others, and is to be worn in the front of the bat.

Take one yard of stiif, watered ribbon, three inches in width, fold it over, making it one-half inch wide, and lay it in eight loops on the brim of the bat ui> against the crown. No knot is put in ths center, but the bpw ia caught down firmly to the hat with a two-inch buckle. The eight loops ore then pulled np to stand at stitfly as the ribbon will warrant. Among tbe latest bows is the “fishtail.” Take ten pieces of stifiT ribbon, each one inch ill width and five Inches long, oat each V shape at one end. Hold them in a bunch and tightly wrap tbe square ends with a narrow piece of corresponding ribbon, one end cut to a V, which ties at the side and completes the bow. This tight wrappiugjnskes the stiff ends stand apart from each other. The “fishtail” is placed on a eockade in a conUnetal or any large hat It is more ef* fective.lf made from changeable rbbon in magenta and purple. Only one must be worn in a bat. THE OLD ALSATIAN AS NOW HADE. The Alsatian bow Is worn on all hate that are turned directly off the face. It needs only five-eighths of a yard of six-inch ribbon. Crease tbe ribbon in a small plait down tbe center. This oontrola ths fnllness conxeniently. Lay it in two long loops, iMving a threeinch. end from the last loop, wrong aide out

When tbe loopa are caught firmly down, wind the end that wae left up over the een* ter of tho loops, oatchinc it in on the back aide. Thia raakea the knot and ia more graceful than the amateuFa way of making a bow, and sewing the center knot on afterward. Milliners say always avoid stitchss in ribbon, nnless they are an absolnte necessity. Always ase a etlok pin iastead. As to smaller bows, finish a Wt with a little bow with V shaped ends, placed under tbe brim, on the bandeau. These are»worn with everr hat this spring. They are made of one-inch ribbon, and wmn finished are only a finger’s length. A word m to ribbona Black is pre-emi-nently the favorite, combined with any color. The new colors are tnrqnoise blue, pokeberry and oMer. Thtes three colore will predominate in bows on hate. Aa oaten are to be extensively worn, a nbbon baa been brought on to match them.

“CUBR ICX» THE NEWEST W&INKUL

Thia la What WUl Be UsmI Before Long —-Lumps of All Sizes Frozen To Order.

(New Tork WoHd.t

An ingenious apparatui for the manufacture of “cabe ice” la an invention recently exhibited in London. The machine ia a zimple one, in which blocks of pure • il ■ ’ ’ ■ ’ ■'

artificial ice are placed, emerging in ^e same bnt a stronger shape and pouessing some peculiar characteristics. When tapped with an ice chisel, or even a penknife, they break np into cubes of convenient size, instead of shattering into irregular aad ill-

assorted lumuff.

The invention is of hygienic importance, too, for the machine also stamps plainly on each of the symmetrical cuoes the tidemark of the maker. Thus the consumer is protected by this "name-blown-in-the-bot-tie” device, the stamp being a guarantee of the purity of the article and its origin. The invention has also the virtue of economy, aa there is no waste from broken ice and the cubes are symmetrical and attractive. The Lancet thus explains the invention: “In the course of some experiments, Mr. Van der Weyde observed that ice at a temperature below freeung point, when newly out aud left m contact, adhered so strongly that it would not break m the same place; whereas, when exposed to a warmer teraperature, it would split at the orieinaliir cut places with great ease; and so, with this extended knowledge of the interesting phenomenon of regelation, first brouirht to light by Faraday and afterward studied by Tyndall, Mr. Van der W’eyde developed bis invention as the outcome of its practical application. The phenomenon of regelation is the result of Ihe action of capillary force at the boundaries of the film of water which connects the pieces placed m contact, producing an enect equivalent to attraction between them, just as two plates of clean glass with a film of water between them

seem to adhere.

A BOWL OF CUBE ICE,

"Ice being wet by water, the boundary of the connecting film is concave, and this concavity implies a diminution of pressure in the interior. The film accordingly exerts upon tbe ice a pressure less than atmosphere, and as the remote sides of the blocks are exposed to atmospheric pressure there IS a resultant force urging them together aud producing stress at the small surface of contact Melting of the ice, therefore, occurs at the places of contact aud the cold thus evolved freezes the adjacent portions of the water film, which, being at lass than atmospheric pressure, will begin to freeze a^a temperature A little above the normal freezing point “It ia necessary,” says the Lancet, “to allow the block to ‘warm’ for a short time, so that tbe ‘cenieat’ of ice loses its previously tenacious hold upon the small cubes into which tbe block is divided. “Then, after this warming-up process, the cubes are us easily separated as postagestamps from a perforated sheet A sixteenpound block of ice, for instance, can dosily be divided into 512 half-ounce cubes, or a thirty-two-pottud block into 512 one-ounce cubes.” RELIGIOUS READING.

SOME CHOCOLATE DAINTIES.

HE omotear eook soldom finds material toady to hand wherewith to Rchiovo satiefying rosulte at so small on ontlay of time, troublo and money aa she seonros in chocolate. Aa a table beverage I it aurpoasra tea and coffee, because it does not afleot the nervee, and yet is nourishing. It ia pretty, too, and admits of dainty and artistic ssmng, which is a point in favor these days of exquisite designs in china. The beauty of a delicate, tall cup of fine porcelain, oil glinting with gold, ia enhanced by tha snowy pyramid of whipped cream rising above thevoft brown of the chocolate, and there is also occasion for an adequate display of those ahiuing silver beauties colled "souvenir spoouA” And artists have not disdained to create lovely designs for chocolate pots in which the warm colorine is repeated through all its tones of brown and cream. But hot, properly-brewed chocolate is rarely to be met with. I can not call the chtllv, thin brown liquid, with white of egg floating upon its watery surface chocolate! Fora cup of hot chocolate that will be both food and drink in its rich consutenoy, take an ounce of grated chocolate. Here is a good occasion to digress for the benefit of hoDsekeepers who can not aiwajrs find time to “grate” things. From experience I find that the chocolate does just as well if you break it into small bits, put them into a bowl and pour on two tablespoonfuis of boiling water. If yon allow this to set five minutet and then mash it perfectly smooth with a spoon you can pour on the boiling milk, and the mixture will thicken admirably. ' ONE OUNCE A CUP. To proceed: Take on ounce of choeo'ate for each cup unless there are more than six. After that less is needed. When it is melted, which must be done in a little cold milk if grated, otherwise, os I Jiave mentioned, pour on a half pint of sweet, new milk boiling; add sugar to taste, cover and set over boiling water if you use a bain marie; if you have onlv a plain saucepan set it where the fire is not too hat, and stir while it slowly simmers about five minutes. Now if you wiil take the wire tnoon with which yon beat tbe whites of eggs and whip the mixture, it assumes the light, creamy smoothness that is so inviting to evcrylrndy. Whip some cream to pile on top of the chocolate after it is in the cups, and yon have a beverage easily comparable to the “nectar,” which, we are told, is the daily drink of the gods. The chocolate pot muat be thoroughly heated. Kemember, that whatever brand of chocolate yon buy, one thing is certain—if yon go by the directions on the package your beverage will be thin and not nearly rich enough. To be perfect chocolate must be thick enough to eat with a spoon; not to drink. If you con not get cream, and must use beaten white of egg, it should always have a very little powdered sugar beaten into it; about two tablespoonfuls to each white. This prevents it turning back to liquid after being whipped. A BAVAROISE. Perhaps the most delicate of all desserts made of chocolate is tbe bavoroise. For this you must have time, patience and plenty of cream. Put a pint of rich cream on ice to get chilled, and have another pint to boil. The cooling procesa takes several hours, 80 the cream may be put on the ice late at night to be ready by early morning—alwaya the best time to do troublesome cooking. Then yon must soak half a box of gelatine in a wineglass' of cold water an hour or two. Put two tablespoonfifls of granulated sugar into a pint of cream, add two ounces of chocolate, blended, with a little cold milk, and set it to boil. When it reaches the boiling point poor it over the gelatine and return to the fire, stirring constantly until the gelatine is thoroughly dissolved. Set aside to cool, and, meanwhile, beat the yelks of tour eggs well; stir them into the cooled mixture, strain into a bowf and add vanilla extract or Jamaica rum to taste, and set on ice. Whip the chilled cream to a stiff froth, and when tbe boiled cream ia perfectly cold stir both together with long, smooth strokes as lightly and quickly as possible. This recipe fills two quart molds. Rinse them first with cold water: pour in the mixture and set on ice to harden. Serve with a pitcher of cream, or just as well by itself. PERFF.CT BLANC MANGE. For a delicious blano mange allow two ounces of grated chocolate to a quart of sweet milk. Here the same note concerning the grating holds good; if you are careful to blend the chocolate perfectly smooth before patting it into the boiling milk, the process is not of consequence. The idea is to have the chocolate thoroughly incorpo. rated so that it may be free from lumps. When you have thus amalgamated, so to speak, the boiling milk and chocolate, add four heaping tablespoonfuls of cornstarch that you have rubbed into a smooth paste with enough cold water to make it pour easily. This mixture you must allow to boil at leaat five minutes, or even longer, if the least rawness of teste remains. Take the saucepan from the fire, add sugar to make very sweet, and vanilla extract to taste. Thie recipe fills a three-pint mold. Serve with plain custard sauce or with cream. It should be perfectly smooth and free from lumps A chocolate pudding that is both economical and pretty, beside being palatable, is made of powdered cracker crumbe. Use three-quarters of a cupful, which you soak a few minutes in water, and then squeeze dry; to this add three ounces of chocolate dissolved in a little cold milk, a pinch of salt, three-quarters of a cup of sugar and the same of butter, beaten with the yelks of three eggs, pour in a quart of milk, stir all together. Bake about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes in a rather quick oven. Bet aside to cooi, and then put a meringue on top mode of the whites of the eg{^ and a enp of powdered sugar; put it back in tbe oven to brown lightly. Emma I. McLagan.
