The KITCHEN CABINET

fl T IS the business of this life JIL to make excuses for others; but none for ourselves. —Robt. Louis Btevenson. It Is well that God answers our needs rather than our wishes, else many of us would escape the hardships which have most to do In strengthening and beautifying our characters. HOUSEKEEPING TIPS. Keep all the old wbiskbrooms for sink brushes. Kerosene rubbed on with a cloth will clean zinc nicely. Also applied to bath tubs of porcelain will cleanse from all grease. Rinse In hot water. Washing lamp chimneys by Immersing them In hot water makes them brittle. Steam the chimneys over a teakettle spout and rub dry with an old linen cloth. Keep a bowl of cold water at hand in which to dip the hands when picking over or hulling fruit for canning. Old pieces of flannelette make fine floor cloths and may be used for broom bags and mops. Jo remove potato, onion and other vegetable stains from the hands, rub with a slice of tomato. Skim the fat off from the chicken broth and save It for shortening. It is fine for biscuits. Some times It is almost impossible to drive a nail in hard wood, but If It Is first rubbed with soap It will slide In much easier. When mending holes in lace curtains a darn shows so painly, but a piece of lace as near like the curtain as possible put under the bole and ironed down after dampening with raw starch water will stay and be unnoticed. Trim the edges around the hole after ironing. All wood ashes should be saved and put on the lawn In the fall to sweeten the soil. They are an addition to the garden. Dampen them before spreading, to keep the wind from blowing them away. All tubers should be put In early enough to get a start before the hard freezes come or there will be poor blossoms on the tulips next spring. Watch the canned fruit, T)y looking the cans over occasionally.' Any that Is spoiling may be reclaimed by reheating.

An Indirect Economy.

“I suppose you find living less expensive since you took to gathering your own mushrooms." “A little,” replied Mr. Growcher. "We don’t save anything on the mushrooms, but all our friends have quit accepting invitations to dinner.”

Their First Taste.

She —Poor Cousin Jack? And to be eaten by those wretched cannibals! He —Yes, my dear child; but he gave them their first taste in religlonl —London Opinion l

EVIDENTLY A HARD TASK

Bom«what Humorously Worded Epistle* the Result of Struggle With English Language. As the moat delightful example ah* has ever seen of the English the European uses in hia correspondence, & woman who haa Just returned from "the other aide’' ie ahowing her friendai. a letter that ahe declarea to be hen moat lntereatlng “souvenir.” "After we left Amsterdam,” ahe explaina, "my daughter discovered that ahe had left her ouff-llnka in our room at the pension. So I wrote back to the proprietress, whom I knew spoke Eng-* Uah, asking her to look for them. Her* is the reply.” Then ahe shows It. And this, wordl for word, la how it reads: "Dear Mrs. Thomas Grant; "Immediately upon receiving ‘ youri lettre I am going at once to looking ln| every drawer, and found this two but-i ton In the table near her bed. Can it) be this two things what your daugh-i ter lost? "In that way I am very glad to* found it "So not, be so good to send It me back, for it might be of another person who perhaps will write me he lest! something." I

Furnishing Change.

“Five dollars in change to be sent around to her house within five minutes, that was all the woman living ati No. 211 in the next street wanted,” said the New York grocer. “Not even: a cake of soap to go with It as a guarantee of good faith —Just the $5. It thought 1 had got so used to cheeky requests that nothing could surprise* me in that line, but the change proposition did give me something of A 1 Jolt. A cheap peddler had called wltKi something she wanted to buy; shot was afraid to trust him with the money to go out and get the change;! she couldn’t leave the bouse herself, and she bad nobody to send, so she Just telephoned around so she could • gft 76 cents In change. Yes, we sent It because she buys things here once: in a while, but I hope other wome»i In the neighborhood won’t get thw habit" *

PARKER'S PUN.

Louis N. Parker, the playwright, ha» a ready wit, as was demonstrated at a supper party the other night at thh St Regis. Mr. Parker’s neighbor, a famous actress, nodded toward a pretty girl at the next table and said: "Don’t you think she’s awfully young to wear such a decollete gown?* "Well,’’ said Mr. Parker, “she certainly Is a stripling.”

THE COFFEE.

The other morning at the breakfast table Mr. Skillings, who was in a highly self-satisfied mood, remarked to bis wife: “What if 1 Were one of those husbands, my dear, who get up cross lathe morning, bang things round, and kick because the coffee is cold?” “Why,” responded Mrs. Skillings, sweetly, “I should make it hot for you.”—Youth’s Companion.
