What are you going to add to the life of your metalware? How many times have you thrown away water pails and various other kinds of pails and pans because of a hole or a broken handle, when by a little time and an outlay of not more than $1.25 you could have added years to their life. I have in mind tubs, pails, milk pans, strainers, separators, teakettles, and In short anything made from tin, gal- vanized iron, copper, nickel-plated ware, aluminum, brass, or zine, Now for the outfit. First secure a one-pound soldering iron, which will cost you about 46 cents, and a one- pound stick of solder, which will cost you 60 cents, a few galvanized or cop- per rivets, a rivet set, a five-cent piece of sal ammoniac, and a little muriatic acid. The last two articles can be had at any drug store, where a little pow- dered resin can also be had. To prepare your iron for soldering, heat it in the stove so that it feels hot when held about two inches from your cheek. Now hold the iron in your right hand and the stick of solder in the left. Rub the iron on the piece of sal ammoniac, applying the solder at the same time to the iron until the point is bright all over. This is what is 'called tinning the iron, so that the solder will flow freely from its point. Now fix the aeid for soldering. Muniatic acid is a poison, and must be kept from your garments, for wher- ever it touches cloth it will eat right, through. To use on some metals it] must be cut with zinc. To do this, place a little acid in a) heavy glass and add a few pieces of, gine. Part of the top of a fruit jar, will do, and this will cause the acid to! boil and throw off pungent fumes, and when thé acid has eaten up all the zinc it will, it changes color from a] pale yellow to the appearance 'of water, Now put in separate bottle and mark it "Cut Acid. Poison." You will get better results in mend-' ing all articles of tinwarve by using powdered resin as a flux instead of the eut acid. Where the hole to be mend- ed is small, scrape the tin bright, ap- ply the resin, heat your iron, and run solder over the hole. If the place to be repaired is about a quarter of an inch large it is a good plan to place a; rivet in the hole, Hammer it down, using an old flat iron for 'an anvil, then solder, If the hole dg much larger; cut a piece of tin the size desired, lay over the hole, and solder all around. For brass or copper proceed as above, only use the cut cid instead of the resin. In repairing articles 'made of. zinc or pewter, use cut acid as F apply your hot iron very lightly and carefully or you will burn a 'hole in the metal, as they melt very easily. Galvanized iron is used largely for wash tubs; water pails; dninkifig foun- tains, for f ong wash boilers, gutter and troughs, spouting, many, other articles. It is easily repaired by using pure muriatic. acid as .a flux, Solder the samie as tin, ° In repairing niickel-plated ware such, as teakettles 'and coffee: pots, serape the nickel from the place to be re- paired, apply cut acid and solder. ..- To solder aluminum, moisten the surface with Venetian turpentine, and | solder with pure zinc.

For instance, if you should break the wire supports around your lantern globe, repair it yourself and save at least 25 cents besides a trip to the village or city. In the cities where soldering outfits can be had for a dime, but it would pay you in the long run to get the better and heavier iron. The coppered or galvanized rivets can also be found at these stores, 100 for five cents, Making Good Buttonholes. When making buttonholes in woolen, silk, or, in fact, any other material that frays, first measure accurately where the buttoriholes are to be, then stitch two parallel lines with the sew- ing machines on the garment, the re- quired size for the button. These lines must be about one-fourth of an inch apart. Then cut the buttonhole between the lines, and buttonhole stitch with twist, Javelle Water for Bleaching. I have found Javelle water excellent for bleaching garments, which have become yellow through being stored away, or by poor laundering. To make this, place one pound of washing soda | tec and one quart of boiling water in an enamel kettle and stir until soda dis- solves. Allow solution to cool. Dis- solve one-half pound of chloride of lime in two quarts of cold water. When : settled, pour into the soda solution. Strain, bottle and place in a dark place, as exposure to light causes loss in strength of solution. [To use, mix with equal parts or more of water, and do not allow garments to remain in the solution, as the fibres would be | weakened by the action of the Javelle ! water. Rinse well and to the last rinse water add a little vinégar, which will remove any odor and offset the action of any chloride of lime 1 rer: ain- ing in the' goods. Scotch Stew. The cheaper cuts of lamb or mutton are utilized in this dish. Three pounds of meat cut into small pieces will make a stew for a large family. Remove all skin and super- fluous fat from the meat, then cut into small pieces. Wash carefully, put into the kettle, and cover with about three pints of cold water; bring to the boiling point quickly, then skim, 'and add one-half cupful of barley "that has been soaked in cold water | overnight. After the stew has again reached the boiling point, draw. the kettle to the back of the "stove and simmer gently > an hour'and a half or two oF, Now prepare the vege- tables for the' stew, about one-half cupful each of potatoes, turnips, car- rot, anid a tablespoonfil of onion. Peel land cut the vegetables into small ' pietes; add them to the stew, salt and pepper to taste, then let cook until the vegetables are well done. 'Now, stir two tablespoonfuls of flour and a little milk to a smooth' batter, add to the stew one-half cupful of rich sweet "milk, add the thickening, let boil up, | stirring all the time, then serve when a. gravy; formed. .

He would take her-- Suddenly Clayton realized that though now acutely awake, he had. been sound asleep. The moon was evidently near to setting, for its light was now dim. There was an absolute silence in the old house--a conscious, breath«held silence, it seemed. The dog, beside the couch half growled, half] fwhimpered, and when Clayton let his hand fall upon him to quiet him, he oval feel the hair bristling along his spine, P Then from the hall came a sii strained to the utmost could have de- tected it---the sound of cautious, pad- ded feet--and cold, naked terror gnip- ped Clayton's heart; terror and an awful horror that turned him sick and caused the sweat to break out in icy drops upon his brow. Something was pushing stealthily against the "door, and as he watched it swung a little open and a low-held, grizzly head, with: eyes that glowed an evii red, was. thrust cautiously through the opening. As those eyes met Clayton's they flam- ed with insane fury, and the door was flung wide as the great beast charged. With a gasping cry that told of dead- ly fear crushed down by indemitable courage, Bingo flashed - across the room to meet the coming beast, butq the dog's teeth closed on empty afr and the force of his rush hurled him crashing against the wall, Clayton's mental and ; hysical par- alysis had lasted but a fraction of a second; now he was on lis feet, and his automatic pistol blazed pointblank into the open, slavering mouth of the great wolf. The next EE Clayton felt himself knocked off his feet and crus down by a great weight, seemingly ten times greater than should have been the weight of even this huge wolf, while a hot and fetid breath fanned his cheek. Even as he|ul went._down, he glimpsed the bulldog returning. to the fight, and then was conscious that it was the t of them that struggled and crashed about the room, smashing and overturning ihe furniture as they fought.

At the same instint he realized that at last the great beast had won the battle. Clayton lay flat upon his back, with the crushing weight of the wolf upon his breast, while the dripping fangs seemed poised for the a strike at his throat.

Early Spanish explorers in the northern Andes found guineapigs do- mesticated in the homes of the na. tives.
