FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Peach Crests. Roll plain paste one-fourth of an Inch thick and cut in circular shapes of correct size to exactly cover Inverted circular tins. Prick several times, using a fork; place on a tin sheet, and bake in a moderate oven. Remove from the tins, arrange on a serving dish, place half a peach in each case and garnish cavity with half of a blanched almond. Serve with peach sirup. Canned peaches are used for this dish. Turn the peaches from the can into a graniteware saucepan, add one-third of a cupful of sugar and a few grains of salt and cook slowly until the peaches are very soft Drain and dry the peaches on a towel before putting into the crusts and reserve sirup to serve over crusts at the table. Makin. Tallow Candles. it is best in making tallow candles to use only the best of hard beef tallow, and with the addition of one pound of good wax to five of tallow, well mixed, a nice, firm candle will be the result. The wicks should be large enough to take up the tallow as fast as it melts and prevent its running down on the sides. Care should be taken that the tallow is free from other fats, so that the blaze be as free from smoke as possible.

Gatherin. Her ba. In gathering herbs gather most of them when beginning to blossom. Lavender must be gathered when in full bloom, as the flowers are more fragrant than the leaves. Select the afternoon of a warm summer day for collecting. Assort each variety by Itself and tie up iu paper bags, having the stem ends come to the top of the bag. Hang the bags in a current of air in the shade until thoroughly dried.

A Few Toilet Tips. Lemon juice is a harmless and excellent nail polish. Don’t use soap on the face oftener than once a day. Night is the best time for a thorough cleansing. Alcohol baths will do away with gooseflesh, and rubbing with the oil of sweet almonds is also very effective. Pumice should never be used on the hands. A bit of lemon will answer its purpose without making the fingers rough and calloused.

Table For Invalid*. The disadvantage of the majority of Invalids’ tables, especially those designed to be attached to the bedpost, •s the complicated apparatus generally Involved. Too many hinges, arms and

ADJUSTABLE TABLE.

supports are used, requiring the services of an attendant to properly adjust the table in position. Tbe one shown in the illustration is so simple and free of complicated attachments that the Invalid lying in bed finds no trouble in placing it in any position desired. The arms which support ti» table board are connected by a universal joint. This gives free adjustment to the board, which can be tilted forward or backward. An ordinary clamp is employed to secure tbe end of the arm to the bedpost. The table board is made of a size sufficient for holding a small tray of dishes, and by adding ledges at top and bottom a book or other matter can be held in position for reading. Reducing a Fleshy Moir. Have tbe druggist prepare a lotion of half a dram muriate of ammonia, a quarter dram tannic acid, an ounce of glycerin and an ounce and a half of orange flower water. Wet a piece of absorbent cotton and bind on the nose at night. Have another lotion of three ounces mallow water, two and a half grams of benzoate of soda, ten of glycerin and five of alcohol to bathe the nose frequently throughout tbe day. Wild Cherry Wine. With a heavy mallet beat the wild cherries to a pulp, then press through a vegetable press and measure all the juice. To each quart of this add a half pound of sugar and a cup of water. Mix well, put Into a crock, cover this with thin muslin and set aside to ferment for a month. When fermentation ceases rack off carefully, liottle and seal. Polishing Windows. Windows can be cleaned by rubbing with a cloth dipped In a mixture of whiting and ammonia. Polish with a clean chamois. Another good way is to rub the glass with flannel dampened with alcohol. These methods brighten the glass better than cleaning with soap and water. To Clean Deep Flower Vases. Mix a gill of vinegar and a tableRpoon&l of rock salt and pour into the vase, shaking well, and allow It to stand a little while. Then shake well again and rinse with clean water

FOR THE CHILDREN

The Haadaome Geatlemaa. After having prepared a great number of little twists of paper the king of the game begins in this manner, by addressing to the person seated on his right a discourse which all the players repeat, one after the other, without addition or alteration, under pain of being called the “Ornamented Gentleman,” which Is the name of the game. “Good day, Handsome Gentleman, always handsome; I, a Handsome Gentleman, always handsome, come from the Handsome Gentleman, always handsome (pointing to the person on his left), to tell you that his eagle has a gold beak.” The person addressed repeats this to his next neighbor, and he to the next, all around the circle. If one makes a mistake he receives a twist every time it happens, and on the following turn, in speaking of himfcelf. Instead of “I, Handsome Gentleman,” always handsome,” he says, “I, a Twisted Gentleman, always twisted, with one (two or three) twists,” according to the number he wears. In the same way when he addresses a wearer of twists, he must say (instead of “Good day, Handsome Gentleman,” etc.), “Good day, Twisted Gentleman, with (so many) twists.” On the second round the king of the game adds, and the others repeat in succession, a new quality to that of the eagle first mentioned, as claws of brass; at the third, ruby eyes; at the fourth, silver feathers, etc. This can be continued as long as desired, and at the end the Twisted Gentlemen pay forfeits to the king and the Handsome Gentlemen.

What the Birds Say. Those who know much about birds tell us that the birds’ notes are quite distinct and sound like the following words. What do they say to you? Robin—Quick! Quick! Do you think —what you do, do you think—what yon do, do you think? Bluebird—Purity! Purity! I—oh—purity! Dear! Dear! Think of It, think of it! Bobolink—Bob-o-lee, Bob-o-link, Bob-o-llnke-e. Crow—Caw-w! Cedar bird—Tze! Tze! Tze! Bobwhite (quail) Bob-bob-white! More—more —wet! Goldfinch (yellow-bird) Ker-chee-chee-chee, whew-e, whew-e! Humming bird—Mouselike squeak. Oriole—Will you? Will you really, really, truly? Female answers—l will. Son sparrows—Oltt, ollt, olit! Chip, chip! Che-char-che-wiss, wlss, wlss! Thrush—Drop it, drop It! Cover it up, cover It up! Pull It up, pull It up! Bluejay —Jay, jay, jay! Whee-dle, whee-dle! Scarlet Tanager—Chip-chirr! Pshaw! Walt-wait-wait for me, wait! Blackbird—Kong-quer-ree, or Bob-a-lee. a-bob-a-lee.—Boston Herald.

Illustrated Candles. Here is a way of decorating, with little trouble, all the candles in your apartment. You can ornament them with charming pictures without your being an artist. Take a sheet of paper on which is printed the design you wish to reproduce. The size of the design must not be larger than the circumference of the candle. Roll the paper tightly around the candle, the picture side against the wax or tallow; then run rapidly a lighted match over the back of the paper thus rolled on the candle. That’s all! The work is done! Uritoll the paper and you will perceive that ail the parts of the design are faithfully reproduced In grayish colors on the candle. The thinner the paper on which the design is printed and the more recent the printing of it, the better you will succeed with the operation.

Of’n, Not Of-ten. Perhaps your teacher has told you many times that there is little analogy in our language and that, therefore, to be proficient in its use you must study it with ears and eyes l>oth wide open. Particularly is the lack of analogy noticed in pronunciation. In some words it is a serious offense to slur a syllable; in others, to slur a syllable Is the rule. Take the word “often” as an Illustration. Many persons who wish to be exact are careful to give the two syllables each a distinct sound—of-ten—-believing, no doubt, that they thus show a painstaking regard for the proprieties of speech. But this is a case where to slur is right and not to slur is wrong. The word is pronounced “of’n,” the “t” being silent. Wiggles, a Game. In starting the game of wiggles some one draws a line—straight, curved or angular, as he may fancy. All copy this line, or “wiggle,” and use it as a part of a drawing, making it ftither stronger than the rest of the sketch so that it shows plainly in the finished picture. “Extracts of Violet.” Here Is an interesting little exercise for spare moments. Try to make as many different words or names as possible from the six letters which spell violet. Color Play. Glowing red and blue and green. Where have you these colors seen? "In the roses," answered Ted, “I have seen the color red; In the sunset you may learn When the sky begins to bum.” “In the heavens.” answered Prue; “In the ocean, there Is blue: In the shadows long and still Creeping downward from the hill.” "Spring and summer bring us green," Answered smiling Josephine: "In the meadows, on the trees. At the shaded nook of bees." Glowing red and blue and green, Ted and Prue and Josephine. —New York Herald.

Mrs. Monteith’s Country Cousin

By EDITH M. DOANE

Copi/rlgW, 19oe, by W. R. Caldwell

A little way beyond Sheffield the Pittsfield express stopped in the open country. Jack Austin leaned back In his seat In the drawing room car and gloomily viewed the discouraging vista of mud and driving easterly rain outside. He did not yearn for a week end m the wilds of New England in March, but Monteith's wife had set her heart upon celebrating her husband’s birthday at their country house, so Austin, being fond of Monteith, held his peace and wisely submitted to the inevitable. Mrs. Monteith’s note had not tended to brighten the prospect. My little cousin from the country. Kittle Adams, will be there [the letter ran} and I shall depend upon you as Dick's friend to see that she enjoys herself, as this is her first experience in ‘‘society.’’ Kate Reynolds, the western heiress, whom every one was wild about at Bar Harbor last summer, Is back from Europe and will be here too. All the men are sure to be at her feet, and It Is only because I know your aversion to the modern society belle that I dare ask you to look after Kittle. Cordlajly, DORA MONTEITH. He felt a horrible conviction that he could never stand three days of it, but If the worst came to worst he could be summoned back to. New York by urgent business, and if be must be drag-

“TILL YOU TELL ME IF THEBE IB ANY DANGER?"

ged about the chains of the country cousin were preferable to the golden ones of the heiress. He hardly noticed at first that the train had stopped, but when the stoppage continued and one man after another got up and went out his curiosity was aroused, and he followed them put Into the chilly, drizzling rain. On the track ahead a c mfused black heap was piled up. A freight train had been wrecked, how no one knew. No one was hurt, but it was an awkward business, and there was no saying how soon the rails would be clear.

There was a certain comfort in the thought that each hour added to the journey meant one less with the country cousin. Jack Austin reflected grimly, swinging himself up the steps of the car. dlsgv.st written in the set of his broa 1 shoulders, In every line of his face. Suddenly as he passed down the aisle on his way to his seat a voice exclaimed: “Mr. Austin!” and then, "1 am'sorry to trouble you, but,” anxiously, “will you tell me if there is any danger?” Austin turned, pulled his cap from his head and found himself staring in blank surprise into the face of a tall, dark eyed girl, who eyed him with a mixture of amusement and apprehension. “I—l beg your pardon,” he stammered.

“Is there any danger?” stye repeated anxiously. “Oh, no; none whatever. I hope you were not frightened,” he replied, pulling himself together as well as a man can who Is face to face with a distractIngly pretty girl. “I confess it did startle me.” He stood silent, looking down a£ her. “But of course,” demurely. “I am not frightened now.” “I wonder, if you’d mind telling me," he said irrelevantly, “how you came to know my name?" She laughed, and a wave of color dyed her face a delicious pink. “With the Initials on your bag and a photograph at Mrs. Monteith's—who talks a great deal of Jack Austin—lt was not very difficult to make two and two into four.” A sudden light illuminated Austin's brain. So this charming apparition was the “little country cousin.” He would not have jumped so quickly to his conclusion had he not dimly remembered that Mrs. Mopteith had mentioned her coming on this train. “Other people can make two and two Into four,” he returned radiantly. “I am delighted to meet you, Miss Adams.” It was easy to see that she was tremendously surprised. “How did you know?” she asked and laughed, and then she laughed again. •Telepathy,” he responded. "“I am

great at It Too would be surprised It I told you all I know about you.” “For example?” “That you llvo in a smalt but delightful country town.* “And?” “That you are about to make your first plunge Into that much overrated whirlpool—society;” “Oh,” she said, “how can you telW It la wonderful!” She laughed again, subsiding on her chair In her merriment “If you’ll let me sit down,” he said. ‘Til complete the picture." While he spoke he had taken off his heavy ulster and thrown it over the back of the vacant chair beside her. *1 have heard of you from your cousin, Mrs. Monteith,’’ he said gently. “She told me bow difficult it was to get you away from Hilldale even for Dick’s birthday. Now, that it all wrong.” The thought of all this loveliness wasting unappreciated in Hilldale lent added fervor to his ' voice. “You are bound to have a jolly time at the Monteiths’.” “But it will be so different—from— Hilldale. So many people.” Something perilously close do a smile touched her lips. “You will soon grow accustomed to all that,” tranquilly. “Think how nervous I shall be before I do. The introductions—the first dinners.”

“But I am to take you In to dinner,” he returned contentedly. Truly the fates had been exceedingly kind. She glanced at him swiftly. , “How do you know?” "Mrs. Monteith promised.” “Sure you won’t regret it?” He eyed her reproachfully, and she laughed again. “Do you know the rest of the party?” He mentioned what names he knew. “And the new western heiress,” he added. “Who Is she?” “Miss Reynolds. I doubt if you will care for her. She has had a lot of attention, and I dare say her head has been turned by it.” “Oh!” “I never saw a beautiful heiress yet who was not spoiled,” he said tranquilly. The girl flushed and bit her lip. Their conversation became so engrossing that when at last the train after much wheezing protest began slowly to move they scarcely noticed it until the brakeman opened the door. “Next station Lenox!” he bawled. As the train slackened speed Austin helped her into her fur coat, threw on his own coat with a jerk, seized her possessions and his and helped her out on the wet platform, where a carriage was waiting. The drive was not a long one, and the carriage soon stopped before a rambling stone bouse. At the sound of the wheels the door flew open and Mrs. Monteith peered out Into the darkness. The carriage lamp shone on the faces of the arrivals. “Oh, Dick, It’s Jack Austin, and Kate Reynolds Is with him,” she cried. Later, as Miss Reynolds was about to go to her room. Jack Austin stopped her at the foot of the wide staircase. “I owe you a humiliating explanation,” he began. “You do, but I will spare you,” she smiled, holding out her hand In friendly fashion. She did not despise him, then, for being such a sublime idiot. He flushed with happiness. On the second stair she turned to him again. Her eyes danced with mischief. “Remember you promised to take me to dinner!" Mrs. Monteith glanced at them, then looked ruefully toward a tall lean girl standing awkwardly on the hearth rug. “Poor Kitty!” she sighed. Advertise iri The Democrat.
