Wring the cloth tightly and go over the surface of the glass a second time. Polish with the other wash leather. Linen or cotton cloths should not be used, as they frequently leave pieces , of down on glass, especially used when the latter is not dry. | A windew cannot be properly j cleaned when the sun is shining on it. During frost the least touch of the band is liable to crack the glass. To keep the windows free from frost apply a little glycerine on a dry dus- ter, and 2 brilliant polish will be the result. This is also excellent for pre- venting windows from steaming if rubbed on inside of the glass after the windows are cleaned. If a little kerosene oil is added to the water used for cleaning purposes R will prevent flies from settling on the window, and has the additional merit of giving a clear and brilliant polish The brightness of the window panes | gives an air of cheerfulness to a house; if these are smeary and dirty | one often finds that the housewife is careless and neglectful in other de- tails of household management. In order that an objectionable view may be shut out, dissolve some epsom salts in hot water and make it as strong as possible. Then wash it over | the glass while hot with & brush. It will soon cool and deposit the salts in 8 crystajline form on the window, and when the water has evaporated the | panes will be found beautifully frosted. The windows must be quite covered with the liquid and care must be/ taken that it does not run or the pat- tern will be spoiled. chamois leat glass and th.

Run a basting thread of contrasting color under your velvet ribbon or folds | on wash dresses and when dress is | washed your basting will show you | just where to sew your ribbon on | again without the trouble of measur- ing all again. Embroidery or hand- kerchiefs which have an open- work | edge can be made stronger by crochet- ing a row of single crochet around. Old dress skirts which are worn around bottom or are too short can be made into petticoats. Wash, cut into a/ gored yattern (five or seven gores), get some lining to match, put ruffies around bottom, and you have a nice. warm underskirt. Cucumber Pickle. 1 A very simple rule for cucumber | pickles, which is well worth trying, as it entails very little trouble, is to pare and slice two dozen cucumbers and one dozen smal! onions. Sprinkle them with salt, and allow them to drain well in a colander. Then place j them ia a bowl, adding one quart of vinegar, one cup of olive oil, one-| quarter of a cup each of black ots white mustard seed, one teaspoonful | of celery seed, and one-quarter tea- | spoonful of powdered alum. Mix thoroughly and seal in pint cans. | Cucumber Relish. To four dozen large cucumbers add one dozen green peppers, two ounces each of white and black mustard seed, three dozen white onions, half a dozen red peppers, and one ounce of celery seed. Chop fine; sprinkle with salt, and let it stand over night. In the morning drain well and boil three quarts of vinegar, one pornd of brown sugar, and the spices together. Pour ever the cucumbers and put in air- tight jars. Onion Soup. Into a baking dish put a pound of meat in slices, in layers, upon two sliced onions, two sliced carrots, two ounces of rice, and a pint of whole peas that have been soaked over night. Cover with a gallon of water, put pan over dish and put into hot oven four hours. The result is deli- cious. Add Apples to Grape Jelly. In making grape jelly one will find that a rich flavor may be obtained by ecding eight good sized apples te one basket of grapes. By using three- fourths sugar to one cup of juice jelly will keep longer and not turn to sugar. Dress Baby on Table.

Smokes a Cheap Cigar Under the Im- pression it Is a Fine One. Washington. aaa Hemenway, of Indiana, than who there is no one closer to Speaker Cannon, told one of his good stories about the speaker om his recent visit to Washington. “The speaker prides himself on his ability to pick out a good cigar,” said the senator. “In fact, his oyn great weakness is for a good cigar and he | will spend 25 cents for a cigar any day and economize by buying a cheap | fifty-seventh con- | bat. Back in the gress, when Mr. Cannon was chairman of the house committee en appropria- it} JOSEPH G. CANNON. I was in the house restaurant one day taking lunch with several other members of the committee. After lunch I offered to buy cigars all around and stepping up to the cigar counter picked out a box of cigars that boys to help themselves. pected to pa them, at least, and was greatly sur- prised when | called for the bill and found it was only 50 cents for 12—six for a quarter cigars. “I naturally made no outward com- ment about the cheapness of my pur- chase and inwardly hoped that no oth- er member knew what I had done. In fact, I was greatly embarrassed and kept a wei eye on the whole party, expecting somebody to become sick any minute. We wandered back to the committee room and sat there smoking several minutes before Uncle Joe’ came in. When he did finally course, instantly of the cigars. soon wrapped large I fully ex- join us I, of | proffered him one; He took it in silence and cigar smoke. Presently he turned to me and said: ‘Jim. this is certainly a fine cigar, one of the best I ever smoked. Where did you get them?’ I told him downstairs in the restaurant. Calling the committee messenger to him, handed him a crisp new one dollar bill and told him to get a dollar’s worth of the same brand for him. You can readily imagine how he looked when the messenger came back with a whole box full.” ITALIAN SOLDIERS ARE AGILE. Members of Famous Bersaglieri Re- quire Great Endurance. Rome.—The fame of the Italian Ber- saglieri is by no means confined to the Italian peninsula. The training the Training the Bersaglieri. men in this famous force are subject- ed to is of the most extraordinary character. Bvery one of the many drills in physical exercises has been devised with the sole idea of making the men in the corps nimbie, quick and daring. They are known as “The Black Devils of the Italian Army” and date from 1836, when they were organized in the Sardinian army by Gen. la Marmora. There are 12 regiments of the Bersag- lieri, and their particular business is as sharpshooters. It requires some endurance to be a member of the corps, for even when they are used in maneuvers the tac- tical movement is nearly always made in the mountains, where their exer- cises in vaulting, turning somersaults and walking greasy poles stand them in good stead. In the picture they are shown climb- ing poles with their bicycles strapped to their backs. The wheels used are specially designed for their work, be- ing so arranged that they can be fold- ed and thus more easily carried on a march across difficult mountain passes where bicycle riding would be impos- sible. The corps is particularly mo- bile and, being composed of excellent marksmen, is a particularly valuable aseet of King Victor Emmanuel’s army, | looked good and told the/ 50 cents for three of | and was; he | i i | How THE DAY'S LABOR MAY BE LIGHTENED.

This menu, with the introduction of an apricot ice and the substitution of puddings for some of this pastry. is a typical Philadelphia menu, and was served here recently at a table d@hote restaurent, says the Philadel- phia Ledger. The puddings were tapi- oca and brown betty. Many of these things would be donated for a church or hospital or prepared beforehand This would leave the finishing of the celery soup the reheating of the tomato soup, the roasting of the beef an? cooking of the potatoes and on- ions and oyst and making of the tea and coffee.

Place the pulps and skins in separate vessels and cook until ten- der. Put through a colander and get rid of the seeds. To each pint of pulp allow one pound of granulated sugar. Allow another pound for each pint of skin The juice must pressed thoroughly out of the skins. Put pulp and juice and sugar togeth- er and boil until thick. Add the skins and boii two minutes. and seal. Conve: ent Floor Mop. Pad well with old flannel the sawed- off end of a broomstick.

It is easy to use, no trouble to shake dust out of, and when really soiled it takes only a few minntes to wash and dry. Potato Entree. Slice thin three medium sized raw potatoes into a baking dish, sliee one medium sized onion, put in a layer of potatoes mixed with the onion, a few cracker crumbs, cover with cheese sliced thin. Do this until dish is full, hen pour over all a little milk; bake Let it become cold: stowly one hour. aes - be | Put into jars | K } west of Lincoln avenue and Bunker Hill road.
