Culture Horn.,

It is rather Strang you come to think «f it, bow many little tilings are "let go" in the boose, that really fret the Inmate* and add friction to the household machinery, which should run smoothly. Most of them «*let-goV are In tb» kitchen. I might philosophise about that fact, bat 1 will not, just now. A dull vegetable Icxiife is one of than. The ldtchen which contains a sharp one is the exception, yet ft is very exasperating to peel potatoes or apples, cat up beans, or slice turnips, with a knife as "dull as a hoe." In the Unt place one begrudges the money for a fine knife "just to pare potatoes with,' stopping to think that tbe better the knife, tbe cboaper it is for this sort of work. A sharp knife will pare thinner, and waste las than a dull one, and will last longer. A good, small whet stone should accompany it, with Instructions to use it, and not the Move pipe, stove edge, or sole of tbe cook's shoe. There is an old saying, that one of tbe few question* tbe devil cannot answer is: "What it a woman's whet stonef

Another annoyance is leaking tins of various kinds, notably quart measures, dippers, dripping pans and sauce pans. Bits of rag drawn through tbe tiny boles, or flour paste robbed on the bottom Co form a patch, are oommon devices for getting along with these let-go tins, instead of carrying them to the nearest tin shop some morning and getting them back whole and strong in the afternoon for a very small outlay of time and money. There is for sale, and 1 doubt not it is quite commonly used, a certain kind of solder that tbe dealers claim can easily be used at home. 2 think 1 bought

Home

once, but was not very

aocctissful in using it, probably from lack of aldll. It in no way lessened my conviction that tins should not bo allowed to continue leaky, when time cr service has made them so.

A clothes wringer that will not wring is another annoyance. Perhaps one of tbe rollers will not turn. We oil tbe gearing, and fuss with it week after week, ou wash day, and forget it the other days, all the time vaguely hoping it is only a "conniption fit" and tbe matter will "right itself," if we only wait long enough. It does not "right itself,r and so the annoyance continues, the clothes are half wrung, or wrung by band, when It would be so easy to drop a postal to the man who repairs wringers, and then have this one cease to be a "let-go."

Dull scissors—who does not know tbemf Day after day iiome people "saw away" with such a pair, working their jaws meanwhile, and getting a "(win in their tempers," all because this is one of the let-goV that has grown to bo chronic. Isn't it queer? Why is It sol 1 only know it is, and that rarely have a friend, who visits me and uses my scissors, fall to say, "Why, how nice and sharp your scissors are I" Also, I never go anywhere, taking my work,* without being very sure my scissors are with it, because 1 know what I will meet, nine tlmeeout of ten, if I borrow sclsMors.

Another "lot-go" has a connection with Utiles. Now tidies are very nice things, and very saving to the furniture, if they are properly made and adjusted but how few are. Most of them are "everlastingly falling off," aul till because we fan to sew on Bttle tapes for tying, or little tapes for pinning underneath. We mean to, each of the fifty times we pick them up and lay them on the sofa or chair but somehow wo let it go, and fret our selves and others by so dc

The weekly repairing of garments is almost a religious duty in some few homes but in how many are the little rents &Qfi ripe, the lost buttons and hooks, the broken buttonboles, utid wont edges, and the tiny holes and thin places In hosiery, let go from time to time until nothing remains to be done but throw aside tbe garments. "Tbe stitch in time saves uiue" remark may be trite, but It is Just as good as over, and when I And a homo where mending is one of tbe let-go's" I feel very sure there Is a sad lack of thrift, and so of certain moral qualities that go with it

I am well aware that "one cannot do everything but let us not be self indulgent or self deceived when we say this. Let us not find that the "leVgoV are things that we should do, and that neglect for other things that we prefer to do because they are pieasanter, or through a carelessness that Is selfish or dishonest. The fewer "let-goV we have the •aider will life he, really.—Jcnlata Stafford in Good Housekeeping.

A Sensible Trousseau.

lias bcett in Atlanta for some time, has a marvel of a trousseau In progress for her wedding. The trousseau is a gift from bar aunt and it Jncludea all her house .furnishing linen. This 4s now being hemstitched and adorned with ••very dainty kiml of hand work at the Dec•wative Art society in New York. The sheets and pillow slips are to be hemstitched and ambroktered with her monogram. The towels •re all of the ftiMMt damask, heavily knotted «ad friqgtd wildti a baud of drawn work above the monogram. The napkins aod tablecloths lure the monogram also, and are of the most exquisite Imported damask. There is wmxthing sweet and sensible in this new fashion of supplying brides with their household HOMO. It m«*ns that this particular little bride is not going to board that she will make a heme for herself and her hoitbeod, whereto treatores of tho linen ctoect con be stored to dewaskd to future geneyatitooahf carefal hopes wivea.

Physical Culture at

dome.

Tbe direful and periodical inspection of the bodies of growing children, by the family physician as well as by the mother, would be tbe first step to th* prevention of maay physical! deformities, and tbe basis for intelligent^sftre and physical training. Such an inspection should be made in the case of growing children as often as twice yearly, and an/ tendency to faulty poses, stooping, one sided development, "or other imperfection. be noted. The causes for such condition should then be inquired into and removed aod intelligent direction as to certain sports, plays, or, with other children, systematic exercises could take the plac*1 of haphazard method. Once a year such children sliiould be carefully measured to ascertain their chest girth, arm and leg development, their weight compared with height, and other data, which would prove not qoly of present interest, but the means of comparing them with the standard of development, and directing their home and school training accordingly.

The constant carrying of school books In tbe right band, or the weight of a heavy school bag impended over the right shoulder, will tend to lower that tide, pulling down me shoulder and leaving the other apparently raised. If thete weights be on usually heavy the spinal column is sometimes bent a trifle to bring tbe center of gravity where it can sustain the burden.

Prolonged piano practice in the case of children whose musclee are not strong may result In such faulty positions on the part of the tired player as to leave a permanent impress upon the figure. The wearing of coats or garments which are even but a trifle too tight across the chest will prove to be a constant though mild restraint to tbe development of this bony structure and thecooae-" tueut limitation to expansion of the lun^s.— ML T. Biasell In Home Maker.

Making Drawn Work.

Observation has revealed that what the industrious summer girl who spends her morning on tbe piazza with a silken reticule, out of which she produces a slim gold thimble, a little gold handled pair of scissors and a needle case, means to do with all these feminine weapons to make drawn work. It is the latest passion among the women who do fancy work to carefully draw out the warp threads in various materials in bandn-of different widths, and with a needle and thread to twist the woof threads into all sorts of patterns. The fancy for this was brought here by women who have been making winter visits to Mexico, aud who saw there the wonderful drawn work of the Mexican nuns, who have no rivals at that sort of thing. All manner of household belongings are ornamented In this laborious way, oue dainty and Industrious girl at West Hampton having made herself a complete set of sheets and pillow oases with drawn work edges. Tea cloths, dressing table scarfs, sets of sheetii and pillow cases for baby cribs, doy lies, splashers everything {of the kind has been creatoxl by the dozens on the piazzas and every girl is applying herself with new vigor to the making of drawn work "hot napkins." These hot napkins are of fine linen, about the size off the ordinary breakfast napkin, and are meant for tho serving of eggs, baked potatoes, hot bascuit, corn on the ear and roast chestnuts. They are extremely useful and daslrable, ai every housekeeper knows, and nothing oould be a more ^acceptable gift Those for eggs, biscuits or chestnuts are generally fringed at the edges and with a deep drawn work border, while the corn and potato napkins have a hemstitched hem about threequarters of an inch wide and several narrow bands of the drawn work above this.—New York World ,j.

The Way to Ppur

There is more to be leaded tea and coffee than most peo believe. If those deooctioas table, which is far the best wa experience, judgment andje&ac are brought on tbe ta|m rei still requires judgment to ai that they shall pirove sifflclentt ii..JRtv for the family,- and that the ektq shall have the stronger ciupa Of pour oat lea, who, not being that tbe tea grows stronger as bestow tbe poorest cup upon stranger, and give the stronger young memh$r of tho family, who wold be bettor without any. Where several ps of equal strength are wanted, you should pour a little intoeach, and then go back, Inv ting the order as you fill them, and the str igtb will be apportioned properly.

An earthen pot is by far the best for few ing the tea may then be poured into a fiver pot, if desired. Heat tbe pot and pou the rater out before putting in tbe tea req|red, filling up at once with boiling watei set from tbe fire about ten minutes to drawihen pour out as above.—The Housewife. I

APPROVED STYLES IN DRESS FOR THE AUTUMN SEASON.

Novelties in Jackets Car Street and Car Boost Wear—Three Imported Models III antra tad ami Peeer Ihed—Prf sss Costumes for Fall aad Winter. i«

1

There appears a decided Teaction in favor of jackets which, in many instances, are more ornate than formerly, and therefore worn on "dressy occasions as well as the morning. There are jackets with waistcoats and jacketa

TAILOB MAD* JACKBT.

without waistcoats, jackets for the street and jackets for the house. English tailors we making many cloth jackets very plain, machine stitched and quite devoid of trimming. French tailors are turning out very natty affairs to be worn with elaborate waistcoats, in illustration of which see figure in cut No. I. ,.

This charming ihodel is In brown clolu stitched with terra cotta silk to barmonite with tbe coat facings, collars and cuffs and waist tabs of velvet.

Thero are some very pretty military braided jackets In gray, hooked down tbe front and braided in black. Then there are "artlllerymen'%coats," consisting of a basque waist with jacket front opening over aa embroidered waistcoat.

In the second cut is represented a jacket of dark red cloth, the fronts of which open over a chemisette of cream surah. The back is close fitting. The revers, collars and cuffs 4Te in cream cloth, to match tho chemisette, and are braided in red, the shade of the clotfa Jacket.

CLOTH JACKET—TOEnCH TEA JACKET.

The remaining figure in cut 2 shows a French tea jacket of white brocaded gauze striped with open work. This jacket opens ,on a plastron In china crape, over which drops a cascade of lace, which meets at the tVaist a deep flounce of the same fabric. The ]bows and bands on tbe full sleeves are of fcorded ribbon.

PrluceuM Costumes.

Relative to the new prlncesse oostumes Harper's Bazar says: Long closely fitting coats with princesse breadths closed to tbe fo6i of the skirt instead of flapping tail breadths form part of autumn and winter costumes. Theee are made of cloth* matelaase or velvet, and are worn over a skirt of contrasting material, such as silk, moire or velvet. The styles of the Directory art given to these great coats by vests, cravata and jaboted frill* on the waist, but the large revers have been so generally used that lovers of novelty have abandoned them, preferring straight or indented sides to their bodice fronts, or elso tongue like straps that are set about irregularly on the bodice.

For instance, along coat of green velvet of princesse breadths entire, the fronts lapping to tho left at the waist line, falling open below to show the front breadth of a skirt of green bengallno, which is cut out in three deep scallops at tho foot and edged with wide passementerie tbat ends in knotted fringe^ Tapering bands of the passementerie without fringe are up tho sides of the coat frout, and there is a soft gathered plastron of the bengal inc above the waist line. The foundation skirt of this and of similar dresses is of alpaca, with two very short steels placed low in tbe back to support tbe heavy coat but not to extend it.

A Distinctive Kovetty.

The distinctive novelty this year Is rather costly and very elaborate, viz., front breadths specially woven and intended to be used with plaiu material. These appear In an infinite variety. Somo have broad and narrow brocaded stripes, the brocade in silk and of a contrasting color, while some have broad stripes of wool alternating with corded silk, and rich velvet brocade on silk and wool Others, again, with a silk brocaded stripe on wool, have broken stripes of velvet. Whatever their nature, thess breadths give a tidiness and fiaiah which remove tbe woolen sowns up with them Cram the ordinary haid wearing ooetaaMB wa have hitherto considered them to be. The patterns ia all these brocades are sometimes floral, sometimes conventional and mostly take the form of lappacing, by which I mean that the edges are waved and alike at both sides erf the pattern. Tbe Jacqaard loom has played aa all important part in tbe production of these several fabrka. In all cases plain staffs are wed with the mora elaborate weaviag.

ALU AROUND THE HOUSE.

AM Kftwtfv* IHwtiwn, IsuyaMn aaA r^*»lly 3Ude—Timely Baelpes. Burlap has held a certain place among materials for house decoration for several year*, but n^ver has it been so tucceesfnlly used as for hanging*. Tbe coarse threads and soft oolor? offer a good foundation for effective embroidery if desired heavy wools and sUks are used for these designs, but ahhough material and wool are coarse, much time add patience are required to complete a pair of luutgings.

Decorator and Furnisher describes a most effective portiere of burlap, both inexpensive and quickly mada The material should be cut three feet longer than the doorway then it must be spread on the floor a&d flrauy tacked at tbe corners and occasionally along tbetedgas. It is then painted with large brushes and burnt sienna, bouse paint, which comes in cans, costing from twenty-five to thirty cents a can. The paint must be spread on thickly, as the burlap abeorbs it in an astonishing manner. The three feet allowed to turn ov«f jrt the top most be painted in the same way.

Mine inches were fringed out top and bottom to make the fringe heavier and hang better, strands of coarse ootton rope, such as sailors uae, were tied in at regular intervals. Bach one of these strands was ornamented with cash, which is a Chinese brass coin answering to the American cent, and which may be bought at any of tbe Chinese stores for $1 a hundred. The cash has a hole In the center through which the cord was thrust and a large knot tied to hold it securely the fringe at both top and bottom was finished in the same way.

Abroad band of brown plush vras placed above the fringe across tbe top and bottom. A row of fancy braided straw disks—otherwise Chinese table mats—was fastened through the middle of the band from the tenter of each one of theee dinks hung along heavy tassel made of the coarse rope, fringed uut, or rather uutwisted, and securely fastened on the wrong side.

Instead of tho rings which are commonly used for securing the portiere to the poles, iong loops of the heavy rope were used, each end finished with a tassel similar to those on the bottom. Tho length of three feet turned over at the top was trimmed with a narrower band of plush, smaller disks and lighter weight tassels.

As both sides of the portiere were in use the reverse side was lined with unpainted burlap and .trimmed with bonds of olive cloth upon which was sketched a bpjd ,design of trailing vines and flowers.

Popular Cottage Furniture.

Bamboo furniture is in high favor, aud a pretty style of cottage furniture is the new bamboo, which, as Good Housekeeping tells, is not bamboo at all, but white maplo. It is finished In Its natural color and elaborately decorated with rods of the some, In the shape of a bamboo pole, securely bradded to the wood. Its joints, burned brown with a hot iron when tbe rods were in tho turning lathe, make a. pretty decoration and the whole forms an exceedingly pretty effect. Tbo maple is as nearly white aa a natural wood can be, with the exception of the Whito wood, and takes a beautiful polish. A complete set in this wood, which is very durable and handsomely finished throughout, is not an expensive purchase, and the shapes, mostly Eastlake patterns, are very graceful aad plefesing. Even a writing desk is included In the set

Dollolaiu ud gntlaiytnf Sweet apples and mellow, dead ripe pears, baked down in a mild oven till they are jellied In their own juice and sugar, make a sweetmeat that will keep with loss care than anything else, and satisfy every taste, says Sustui Power in American Garden. Line the bottom and sides of your stove oven with common bricks, laid In loosely set tbe fruit in close stone jars, and let It cook all day and night No fear of burning, but the steady, moderate heat turns out a lucid, deep flavored moss which is something what food ought to bo. Boil jam fast let this preserve take its time and don't stir it. It is an Insult to a pear to preserve it any other way. The delicate looking canned pears are very insipid eating beside it.

Apple and Quince Jelly.

Quinces and apples together are usually thought to make a much pleasanter jelly than either alone, tbe apple being insipid by itself and the quince too strongly flavored. Use an equal weight of tart apples and quinces wash and slice them whole, carefully removing all wormy spots. Boll tbe quinces till soft In just enough water to cover them then add the apples, with sufficient water to cover, and boil tbo whole to a pulp. Strain and measure the juice. To each pint of boiling juice add a scant pound of sugar, which should bo put into tbe oven to become hot before It is ueeded for use cook ten ininutee and turn into glasses.

Peach Preserves.

Mi— Parloa tells of an easy way to remove the skloa from peaches. Put them into a wire bosket and plunge them Into a kettle of boiling water. In two minutes take them oat and the skins will come off easily. Drop the fruit into odd water to keep the oolor. In making preserves use to every three pounds of fruit one pound of sugar, aod one plat of water for throe pounds of sugar. When the sirup boiling hot take the fruit from tbo water aad drop into It, Put but a few in at a time, as tbey cook very quickly. Take from tbe sirup with a silver fork, fill the jar and All up with strained sirup,
