‘53 Z THE HOME. N IIOMELY MAKE-OVERS. It has probably never occurred to my mothers that underdrawers may be made for small children from the tops of their own long woolen hose af- ter the feet have been worn past fur- ther repair; yet such is the case. Cut off the feet and hem around the bot- tom. Rip the hem at the. top; and cut down each leg far enough to make the waist. and sew together as one would sew up any drawers; put a band on to attach them to the waist and one soon has a wann pair of underdrawcrs at no expense. There. is usually a space between the knee and ankle of a man's drawers that are good. even after the remainder of this garment is worn out. If these are ripped apart and four seamed together one may make a warm serviceable skirt of them for a small child. as the rili~ blng fits snug and. close about the. body. The bottom of skirt may be faced on right side with a bit of bright wool goods to add to the warmth and ap- pearance. Perhaps enough good mater- ial may be found left to piece up a warm waist to the skirt if the little skirts are thin. The lower parts of worn out undershirts also make good serwceable skirts for the. little people. Good every day waists may be made for the small boy from the lower rts of the father's outside woolen irts. after shoulders and sleeves are worn past further repair. lf the fronts, the deep sailor collar and this cuffs to these little waists are finished with a row of fancy stitches in bright medieval em- orOidery silk. which will lauinder as well as the waist. it adds much to their apmrzmce, and but a trifle to the cost. \V . buying men's wear it is well to have in mind possible makeovers. and get something that will be suitable for the double purpose. The lower parts of the mother’s undervests will make soft warm shirts for the little ones. and it is often possible to supply one or two. maybe more. little folks with warm underwear from what would at first seem worn out material. If thin places are found in the material that is used. lay a piece of tlhle. same under it. stitch all around on the machine. then stitch back and forth across it a few times ;'a.nd, whiile patching a gar- ment before it is worn. may seem a nov- el proceedure, it will save much time and trobulc by and by. for a place so strengthened will wear as long asthe best parts of this same garment. THE HANDY PANTRY. If we begin with the pantry, we shall see !how much of a woman's capital. time and strength, is saved by having things convenient. If the spices are herbs, powdered, are kept in cans. a spice-box never holds the variety need- ed. have them legibly marked and when the papers on the shelf are changed do not alter the position of the boxes. Through habit. one comes to do much mechanically, and if the soda stands in place of the baking powder or the pep- per whcrc the cinnamon has been kept. the consequences may be mortifying. t'liou h laughable. Every housekeep- or 9 much experience knows that such acCidents occur. apparently, at the most inopportune. times. Keep the salt in a covered wooden box, or a jar as it should not come in contact with any metal. \Vith spices, tea. coffee. cocoa, o_r chbcolwte in cans; raisins, Currants, citron. dried fruit. tapioca, saga, ceâ€" reals, ctc.. in stone or glass jars, one may feel that. a good beginning is be- ing well continued. CAKE FROSTING AND FILLING. Delicious frosting can be made with maple syrup. Following are the meth- ods much liked at our borne: Maple frosting with whites of eggs. â€"Boil as mucih syrup as will he need- ed for frosting and filling (about 1/2 pint for an ordinary twoâ€"layer'cake. more for more layers) until it “'h‘airs;" that is, strings slightly when dripped from the spoon. \Vhile the syrup is boning (don't boil in a tin basin that has turned dark. for it will discolor your frosting) beat stiff the white of an eggâ€"or two if they are smallâ€"and wheii‘the syrup " hairs." remove it. from the. fin: and beat gradually into it the. beaten white. Continue beating till qUile. stiff. when it will be. ready to spread on the cake. This makes a deli- cious. creamy frosting that melts in the mouth. Maple. Frosting with Cream.â€"â€"Instead of the white of eggs use a small table- spoonful of cream for the same amount of syrup. First beat the hot syrup till it barely begins to grain. then stir in flux tablespoonful of cream. This makes a darker frosting than the preceding. but is excellent. This creamed frost~ ing should be spread upon the cake when but slightly stiff. for it burdens very rapidly. and if you don't begin to spread it soon enough- aiid don’t get it on quickly enough. it will be rough. llowcver. if you find that it is harden- ing too fast for you. stirring in more cniam will retard it. (‘ocoanut Maple Frost bigâ€"Make eith- er the cream or egg {rusting as above, and mix in shredded cocoiinut. sprinkâ€" ling some over the top and sides of the cake. The. creamed maple frosting looks especially nice. truich in way. Fillingâ€"A filling we like very much is made by mixing scraped apple with a portion of ,lhe frosting. Scraped pear ’ of around “Nell at an“ “"18 893103“!

PreVious- ly beat up two whole eggs till not stringy. and when the sugar is done. beat the eggs into the sugar till the mixture gets moderately stiff. when it is ready to be spread on the cake. lila- vor with a fcw drops of any desired flavoring while beating. Maple syrup instcad of white sugar or this frosting also makes an excellent and very rich frosting. Frosting \Vithout Boilingâ€"To make a good uncooked frosting that will not be sandy with sugar, and will not crumble easily, merely beat the whites of the eggs to a foam, then beat in con- fectioners’ sugar till the frosting gets stiff enough” to spread without' run- ning off the cake in a hurry. lcllow frosting can be made in this way,ltoo. by beating the whites to a foam, then adding a part of the, beaten yolks after a part of the sugar has been beaten in. .â€".â€"- A COMFORTABLE LOUNGE. Every bedroom should,.if pessible,con- tain a couch, if it be only of wicker, and especially is one indispensable in the room of a guest, who frequently longs for a short map, but refrains from tak- ing one in the fear of disturbing a beautifully made or decorated bed. Great furnishings, by the way, should not be so fine as to be over-powering. [f the room be small, and there is no other place for a. ccouch it could be set at the foot of the bed, where, if sup- plied with castors, it may easily be moved when necessary. One suitable for use in a bedroom may be contrived with very little trouâ€" ble, and it. is astonishing Wihat treas- ures the attic will afford. I have a. sofa in mine which was so unsightly as to be absolutely useless. It was one of the old-fashioned sort, with a carved back: not by any means an antique of gracefulI shape and deSign, but a thoroughly plebtan, uncomfort- able piece of furniture. The back was unscrewed and taken off, the sotled cov- er removed, and at a small cost new springs and a fresh cover of white cot- ton made it ready for a prettgspread and pillows, which transformed it com- pletely. This spread of sateen m blue and white matched the hangings of the room, and it was made by sewmg a deep fril'l gathered ona cord_to apiece of the material of a suitable stze cov- er the sofa. This particular full, by the way was composedpf small. pieces pinned together, and as it was quite fulill the gathers concealed the seams very effecrively. \Vhen finished, two large' pillows covered with the same materi- al as the Spread were added, the result being a luxurious resting place _ on which one might while the weary hours away. THE OLDEST TOY. The most primitive toy is the doll. It dates back to prehistoric times, and is found in every part of the world. This one would naturally expect to find. A child, seeing its mother nursing oth- er young children, would imitate the. example with an improvised doll. Toy weapons, again, are older than history. Many of the other toys at present in use data from the earliest times of which we have any record. In the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, along with paint- ed dolls, having movable limbs, have been found, marbles, leather-covered balls. elastic balls, and marionettes moved by strings. Anctent Greek tombs furnish clay dolls, toys, horses. and wooden carts and ships. In the Louvre there are some. Graceo-Roman dolls of terra-cotta, wit'hu movable joints fasten- ed by wires. Greek habits had rattles, (platagej. Greek boys played lwibh Rome Vergil-Aen; bk. vii.) Horace homo ( 'ergii-Aen.; bk. VII.) .

Boil an egg hard; when quite cold place. it among a number of other eggs, and ask your friends to tell you which is the boiled one. This they will, of course. be unable to do from appear- .ance, merely. There is, however, away of doing so without holding them _iip to the. light, and that is by spinning them.

E "The first eight years I spent in town work and among this high-caste natives. That was very difficult,just as it is here among your high caste. There was a very great difficulty in my own soul because of no proper vic- tory. The devil tempted me much. I :ran away from him. I went to the ‘ depth of the jungle, right out into the forests, where only wild beasts lived. Do you see my bed in the corner point- ing to a strip of carpet done up in a shawl strapb. I took that very bed with me and threw it on the ground. 1 prostrated myself and Iasced and prayed for six days and nigh-ts. Dur- ing the day some of the low-casts Hindoos came into the forest to cut. wood and would ask me what I was doing there. I explained my idea, and they were surprised. At the end of the sixth day I. felt that I- was directâ€" ed to start; the work among the low- caste Hindoos. I pioneered alone. I went from village to village.

We started a boom march, and in three weeks’ time had 7.1500 soldiers. We have five boom marches every year now, and I always pioneer for them.” ‘ “What is a boom march?” asked the ' reporter. l "A boom march is lovely," answered [Major Deva b‘undrum, growing excit- ed at the very thought of one. "We have a vast continent to deal with, but. we are learning where and how to attack. and by whom these attacks must be made. The lower classes have been oppressed for ages, and their con- dition verges closely on slavery in its relation to the higher castes. We want to reach these oppressed ones, so we pioneer a given district for a few weeks; experienced suppers and miners deal with the villagers, treat with the rulers of each community and make them willing to accept our teaching: i Thcna large party is organized 'of from ‘40 to IOU officers and cadets, living in rough huts and camping in the open.

The Treaty ltctwccn Grcm lirlmln and thc llnllcd States. A despa’tchl from \Vashington, D.C.. says:â€"As already outlined. .t'hie life of the general arbitration treaty be- tween Great Britain and the United States is purposely made very shortâ€" only five yearsâ€"--but this is with the expectation of a. renewal for alonger period. if it shall prove to work well, and also to afford easy opportunity for - adoption. Its purpose is to dispose peaceably and honorably of such ques~ tions as arise. between the United States and Great Britain. and will not. admit of adjustment by this ordinary meth- ods of diplomacy. excluding questions involving the national honour. The personnel of the Arbitration Commis- sion is to be of the highest character; men selected from the judiciary of each country, in equal numbers. three from each side, and provision is made against a. failure through a tie vote, by the bringing in of an umpire. Neither the Venezuelan question nor the Behring Sea issue are_to go before this com- mission. but its first work probably would be to close up "the Alaskan bounâ€" dary controversy, and some other open issues of minor interest, but real im- portance. Unlike this Venezuelan boundary ar- rangement thlis treaty must 0 to our Senate for ratification, and tie House of Representatives also will have. op- portunity indirectly to pass upon it, for legislation will be necessary to pro- VIded‘ne means to maintain the com- misSion.

Perhaps the most intelligent dog in \Vashington is owned by Mr. Kotzc- buc, the Russian Minister. It is an Esquimnu, a desCendiant of the fam- ous dogs owned by Lieut. Peary.

The injury was such a small affair that the. physician began to wonder at lthe slowness of the recovery. Aftcra. lfew days he could find nothing wrong with the creature, who had a good ap- petite and was apparently well, only {he refused to rise from. his couch and walk.
