The best parts of old table cloths when neatly hemmed make nice common napkins. “"hcn cutting up worn-out garments save the buttonholes in one long strip; then in making underwear. in place of spending half an hour making new but- tonholes, just saw the strip of old ones on. and presto; they are done. The ribbed part of worsted socks makes excellent pu’lse warmers. You may crochet an edging around them if you like. Use the legs of old cotton stockings for the sleeves of children’s shirts and petticmits. lt SILVCS buying new mater- ial. beside the work ofmaking sleeves. Stocking legs are nice to slip over your dress sleeves while doLng any dir- y work. _ When making trousers for little boys to wear under kilts. use old pants cloth for legs and seat; then make the top t of drilling. They are not so bun- glersome as when all made of pants 0th. _ _ If your underwear is in two pieces and you like combination suits better, cut the vests off at the waist line,put a. band around, and button the drawers to it. Use the lower part of vests to make little shirts for baby, or the legs of little drawers. 'When the logs of flannel drawers and sleeves of flannel shirts shrink. take old worsted socks or stockings, cut off the feet, turn the legs upside down. and sew on the flannel suits; the rib- bod part of sacks fit snugly around the ankles and wrists and feel very com- fortable. SOME PORK DISHES. Pork Cutlets,-Cut them from the loin, trim them, and sprinkle on salt and pepper. Prepare some beaten egg in a pan, and on a flat dish a mixture of bread crumbs, chopped onions. and sage. Put som elard or drippings in- to a. frying-pan. over the fire, and when it boils, put in the cutlets, having dipped each one first in the egg, and then in the bread crumbs. Fry them thirty minutes, turning- them often. After you have taken them out of the frying- pan, skim the gravy dredge in a lit- tle flour, give it one boil, and then pour it on the dish around the outlets. Have apple sauce to eat with them. Pickled Pork and (Peas Pudding.â€" Soak the pork all night in cold water, and scrape it clean. Put it on early in the day. and let it boil slowly, For the pudding you must have ready one quart of dried split peas, which have been soaked all night in cold water. 'l‘ie them in a cloth (leaving room for them to swell) and boil them slowly till they are tender. Drain them, and rub them through a collandcr into a deep dish; season them with pepper and salt, and mix with them on eounce of butter and 2 well-beaten eggs. Beat all togeth- er until well mixed. Dip a large cloth in hot water, sprinkle it with flour, and put the pudding into it. ’l‘ie it up very ‘tight, leaving room for it to swell more, and boil it one hour. \Vhen it is done. turn it out of the: cloth. cut it into thick slices, and lay it around the pork on the. edges of the dish. Pork Pieâ€"Take the loan of a leg or loin of fresh pork and chop it. season with saltand pepper. Cover the bot- tom and sides of a deep dish with a good paste, made with half a pound of lard or butter to two pounds of flour. and rolled out thick. Put in a layer of pork and then a layer of tart apples, pared cored and sliced very thin. Strew over the apples sufficient sugar to make them sweet. 'l‘hi-n anothen layer of ork. and a con till the dish is full. our over it half a pint of water. Cov- er the pie with a thick lid of paste, set it in a brisk oven, and bake well until the pork is thoroughly done. This is a nice dish-for those who like pork and fried apples. li‘lour Husty Puddingâ€"Put on ithe fire. one quart of sweet milk, and when it has come to a hard boil stir into it some wheat flour ;. thicken and stir it till about the consistence of a boil- ed custard. _..-\fterwards throw in. one at a. time. a dozen small bits of but- ter rolled in flour, Then stir in two well-lmten eg 5 and cook it five min- utes longer. \ 'hen done, pour it into a. deep dish. and strew brown sugar thickly over the topâ€"~maple sugar, if you have it. Eat. it warm. â€"â€" CARE OF THE BABIES. System and regularity are important factors in forming the Imby’s habits. His bath, his nap, and his meals should be attended to‘at the proper time, for many of the ills and dangers that threaten babies' lives are due to the haphazard manner in which they are cared for. A healthy infant will sleep the great- er part of his time during the first few weclm of his life, and should not be wakened to Show him to your ad- miring friends. Handle him very gen- tly. The common practice of keeping him constantly in motion when awake is fruitful of trouble in many ways. Shield his eyes from the light of the lamp or window, as exposure to the light often causal them to be weak. if ho has colic do not dose him with peppermint. paregoric. or soothing sy- rup, for any relief that may‘ come from these remedies, arises from the effect of alcohol, laudunum, or opium, all of which are dangerous drugs to administer to a baby. There are few cm of colic that will not yield read- ily to an application of warm flannel to the stomach. bowels and feet. If the mother cannot nurse her child. it becomes a very important matter to find a diet that baby will llkt\ and that will agree with him. I have raisr od two "bottle tubies." With the first one we tried cow's milk. condensed milk, and several other things. but found nothing that was satisfactory un- fit our physician advised us to use lac- tuied food, This we did, and were so well pleased With the result that we I used it for the second baby Without experimenting with anything else, 8.110 I have never seen a healthier, heart/- ier child than he is. i ' Food should be given atregulzu in- tervals from the first, beginning With two hours apart during the day and early evening, and twice during the night for the first three months; these intervals may be lengihened, until_at the age of one year the_baby has five meals a day and one at night. The haul: of taking the baby to the table, and feeding indiscriminater anything that happens tobe found there, is the source of much of the indigestion and bowel trouble which is so often fatal. After the first year it is. safe to enlarge his diet gradually, givmg the child an oc- casional soft-boiled egg, meat broth, the juice of stewed fruit or finely mashed potato. _ _ Do not burden the. little one With more clothing than is necessary for comfort. Leave him to amuse himself the greater part of the time that he is. awake. He will enjoy lying in his crib and playing with his toes much better than to be held on your lap all . time, and you will have an opportunity to rest. SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. Bills AND GIRLS IN CHINA “'omen the world over have a fash~ ion of saying that men have the best of everything. This is certainly true in China. According to a small pam- phlet just issued for the information of his friends by the Rev. 5.6. Miner, a missionary in Foochow, the Chinese man’s good time begins at his birth. In telling of the children of China. he speaks first of the boys.: 0ne~fourth of the children of the world are born to Chinese parents, and the goddess Moth- er is most diligently worshipped so that everybody the igirlf If it is a. boy all the friends bf they all may be boys. But this is a. hard thing for even so great a goddess to control and many girls are born. \Vhen the news of a. birth is announced ’asks, "Is it a boy or a the parents call at once to offer con- gratulations and presents, but if the baby is a girl they extend sympathy.

Nevertheless a johnny cake doesn't seem to advertise itself as such unless it is a golden yellow. The yellow meal is very sweet and nice.

"I wish I could make such delicious frosting as yours, Mrs. Parsons," said he rncighbour, who had come in the back door to borrow an egg. “ I have often beaten my egg so stiff you could cut it with a knife, and then on tak- ing my pic or pudding from the oven found it as flat as a pancake,” she con- tinued, watching Mrs. Parsons heap the snowy mass on her lemon pie. "Let me tell you a secret I learn- ed all by myself,” said Mrs. Persons, shutting the oven door upon her pic. " Do you always beat your frosting hard after adding the sugar "f" “ \Vhy, I don’t know. I don’t believe I do.” was the hesitating answer. “Then there is the whole trouble,” responded Mrs. Parsons, " That is a litâ€" tle secret I learned for myself, as I said. One is very apt after beating the eggs light, to, think nothing more is requir- ed than to stir in the sugar. The two should be thoroughly beaten, with the egg beater and your frosting will be as thick and light after baking as when put into the oven.” “Well.” declared Mrs. Martin. “I‘m glad I had to borrow this morning, af- ter all, for this egg is to make a rost- ing for a tapiaco pudding. I'll have one that will surprise the folks," and she quickly took her departure. Havmg overheard this conversation it occurred to me that there might be some young housekeepers who have not learned this little never saw in a cook book. Of course the old housekeepers can skip this col- umn. ______.__â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- ABSURD ERRORS Rladc By Noted Authors, and, Among the Number, Shakespeare. Shakespeare's nnachronisms certainly give him the palm for the greatest num- ber of mistakes. Some of them are al- so strikingly absurd, as, for instance, the allusion to Cato in Coriolanus, sup- posed to have been made two centur- ies before Cato was born. and the allu- sion to a striking clock in Julius Cae- sar centuries before such a thing ex-‘ isted. These may.. however, be put down to carelessness and the chaotici state of chronology in Shakespeare's time. and none of them are either as absurd or as indefensible as the error of which Coleridge was guilty. when he marred his immortal “ Ancient Marin- er" with the lines: " The horned moon with one bright star Within the nether tip." For such an astronomical monstrosity | as this to have been visible. either the star must have been on the earthward side of the moon, or else it must' have shone throu h the solid body of our satellite. W at makes it all the more absurd is the fact that an educated man like Coleridge could hardly have been gnogant of such an elementary fact t is. CHEAP BARBERS IN INDIA. There are no native barber shops in India. The barber is a peripatetic in- dividual who calls each morning at the residences of his customers. He uses no brush to lather the face, and often dis- )enscs with soap. After wetting the ate. he finishes the shaving in a few minutes, and then polishes the skin with the palms of his hands. A single shave is worth about one cent. though the charge is usually made by the month. secret, which «we lmother or attendant of nursin circumstances is: "\Vell, a :girl is worth something.“ Every city has a baby tower built on its outskirts,which is the burying pllace for infants; Not infrequently a newly born girl is drowned, left on a missionary's door step, thrown into the street, or, before she stops breathing, is tossed into this death house. A Chinese baby boy is a cute. thing as he lies in his bamboo cradle, always peering curiously through his black eyes out of his small, round, sallow face. If it is the sum- mer season a good deal of the baby is visible, since he is not troubled with much clothing; 'but in winter the child is so muffled in wedded gar- ments that it would make a. first-class football. \Vhite is the color for mournâ€" ing in China, so infants are never dressâ€" ed in it, but in some bright color, often scarlet. If a boy, red cords are tied around his sleeves to make him less mischievous and more obedient when he grows up and another fastened around his neck, from which haing numerous small ornaments, and ancient coins, wards off evil spirits. When imby is three days old special thanksgiving is made and offerings are laid before the family shrine of 'the goddess Mother. At the end of his first month relatives from far and near are hidden to a grand feast. They bring presents in silver, lucky cash, and con- fections. The event of the occasion is the shaving of baby's head. This cere- mony is performed before the ancestral tablets or the shrine of the goddess Mo- ther. The mother's mother is the guest of the day. If wealthy she brings many castly presents. the most important beâ€" ing a. gay Little cap ornamented With embroidery and eighteen figures of the disciples of Buddha, which are believed to attract all the good influences tow- ard the Little wearer. A Chinese boy has three names. On this day he re- ceives his "milk" or baby name.- \Vhen he goes to school his teacher gives him another, and when he is married he receives still another. If he succeeds in getting a. degree a. fourth official name is bestowed. The milk names are as comical as some of the nicknames of more civilized nations: Some of them are Dirt, Cat, Dog, Fierce, Vagabond; Stupid, Beggar, and the like. The idea is that when the spirits hear the boys called by names so uncomplimentary they will think the parents don't care for them, and will let them alone. Chin- ese resort to many other names to fool the spirits. ' After the shaivin'g festival baby takes his first outing. He pays a visit to his maternal grandmother, who presents to him many small but Significant gifts, since each- one expresses grandma's de- sire that baby may quickly grow strong and sturdy and [become a proficient scholar and worthy man. At the age of four months the little chap is taught to sit in a. chair and thus relievehhis 1m. Not a bad scheme for mothers 0 other nations to adopt. The day of days in a. Chinese boy’s baby life, however, is the first anniversary of his birth. A great feast is spread, and even the most distant relatives are invited; Presents, as usual pour in, the principal ones be- ing pairs of embroidered shoes worked by the women relatives. After the feast baby is set in the middle of the table, amid many articles significant of the various professions and trades. The one he grasps in his baby fingers in- dicates his future career in life. Should he grab the glittering mandarin's but- ton, intense excitement follows and con- gratulatory praises abound. Many thanksgiving and propitiatory services are performed at some idol temple durin the early years of the boy's life, an at the age of seven he should be 'n to go to school; but the parents 0 the great majority are too poor to pay the teacher and the public school system is unknown in China. It is estimated that not one man in fifty nor one woman in one thousand can read the Chinese newspaper: In the Christian day schools each pupil contri- butes to the support of the teacher as he is able. Before little Ah Sid or some other cute little Chinese kid begins to go to school the'fortune teller is con- sulted, and on the day fixed by him the little fellow begins his education. If it is hot weather he wears nothing but a. loose 'acket and a pair of bag gy trousers: wt in winter he is warmly clad from head to heels. He looks very neat with his clean-shaved fore- head and carefully braided cue. Upon reaching the schoolhouse he gives the teacher a present, and salaams to the floor to show his willingness to submit to authority. He next does reverence to and burns incense before a tablet dedicated to Confucius and takes his seat on a stool before a little table and is ready to begin work. He does not have to strugglewith theABC's, but instead wages war on the 214 root words which enter into the forma- tion of the 40,000 words in the Chinese language. The first sentence in the Chinese primer is not "This is a eat," but "Men at their birth are by nature radically good". Another is "To edu- ‘ prosper. \since hares are destroyed by dogs. These cate without severity shows a teacher's indolence." A bamboo rod which al- ways lies on the teacher's table and frequently is used, is a. proof that this maxim commends itself to the teachers of to-dsy. Many examples of devotion to literature, bigotry, and superstitu- tion are impressed on the boy's mind, and he is taught that China is the only rest country on the earth and to hate oreigners. Filial piety .is taught With great emphasis, a favorite proverb ing, “Of a hundred Virtues the chief is filial piety." Mr. Miner appeals_ for money to establish more Christian schools, that thereby these millions of keen-witted boys may be properly edu- cated. Suffering and toil are the lot of the Chinese girl. If she is permitted to live at birth the father soon after calls in a fortune teller. He ives him the month, day and hour 0 his unwelcome daughter’s arrival and asks him to cal- culate. If the lass is born under an unlucky star nothing that she does \vill If she is physically imperfect in any way her chances of life are small and if she came into the world on a day of the cycle of the dog and her brother on the day of the cycle of the hare, she is made away with at once, little defenceless creatures are very at- tractive with their bright faces and dark eyes. Hair dressing is of the greatest importance to them, and .the styles vary accordingly to the province in which the girl lives. Most frequ- ently it is braided in a heavy strand down the back and tied with scarlet cord. At the age of 13 it is twisted around curious wire frames made to represent a. shoe, wings of a bird, 8. and done up in a. womanly style. After marriage the hair is pulled out around the forehead and dressed in square fashion in front. The hair of the girls of the poorer class is brushed as slick as glass and elaborater dressed with ornaments. 0n holiday occasions, the girl paints and powders her face. Fash- ions of cut, trimming and color in the garments worn by the girls and women ‘1!) the different provinces vary little. \double bow of ribbon or something else, The most important part of the Chinâ€" ese girl's dress is her little shoes. For years she is made to suffer agony until the desired smallness of foot is obtained. The custom of binding the feet has no connection with religion and is not pre- scribed by the law of the country It is the result of the only vanity that Chinese parents possess concerning their hated daughters. The little girls of the wealthier class aer seldom seen nibroad after the age of eight or ten. ll‘hey are kept at home, as it is thought improper 'for them to be seen out of doors. Their amusements are few and their life most monotonous._ They spend all their time doing beautiful embroidery, and when foreign women visit their homes they ask such questions as “\Vhy are your feet so large?" "Why don't you have your hair combed and glued down on Wire shapes?~ Ho wold are you?" and "Why aren’t your eyes like ours?. Have they faded out?" The dau hters of the poor have a much freer ife, even if they do begin to slave when little more than babies. When barely able to car- ry them, they are sent out with basket and rake to collect fuel ' for cooking purposes, as fire is seldom used for any- thing else. The little girls are also made to care for their baby brothers and sisters, the infant frequently sit- ti on her back in a scarf which is tie "'over her shoulders; The infant's feet and head go bobbing and danglâ€" ing as the little caretaker runs about in the botling sun swaying from side to Side to quiet. her charge. “’hilo very young, girls are also taught to pick tea, care for Sll'liVVOl‘mS, spin and weave cot- ton and silk, and weave mats, embroid- er, and make idol money, besides doing the drudgery in her home. Iy they are sold as slaves. they find a kind mistress, a ain a. cruel one. As to education, t e girls receive next to none. Their talents are by.no means inferior, but a Chinese writer once said, “The feminine mind is unsteady in purpose and easily swerved from the right," and everybody in China seems to have accepted that as law. A few parents will allow their little girls to study with their boys at year or two. The titles of some of their books are: “Counsels for Girls," "Admonitions for the Inner Aurt- ments," “Four Virtues and Three bed- iences." A LONG SENTENCE. Frequent- Sonicti mes Bond Ills Doom In the Newspapers, and Voluntarily Hun-red the lelng Tomb. \Vat Reed, the Platte County. M0,, farmer who was sentenced to 99 years in the penitentiary went to Jefferson City and delivered himself to the War- den at the. State Prison. He was sen- tenced for killing his neighbor, Newton Winn, in the courtroom at Platte City. Reed was out on bond when the Sn- preme Court of the state, decided his case, affirming the sentence of the low- er court. He read the decision in a newspaper while in his room at a hotel, and picking up his valise walked to the station and started at once for the penâ€" itentiary. An hour later, when the ofâ€" ficers arrived to arrest him. he was gone. and the supposition was that he had become a fugitive. Reed is past, middle age and will nevor leave the penitentiary alive. The_ two farmers were neighbours near the Village of Grayson, and both were rich. 'l‘hey quarreled ovor an affair of busmess, and became enemies several years .ago. A lawsuit culminated in a fight in the courtroom, when Rex-d shot “'inn to .death. He emptied his revol- ver at his enemy. one of the bullets grazing the cheek of the Judge on the bench. Reed refused to spend his fortune in defending himself and leave his fam- ily penniless. He had thoumnds of dol- lars in the bunk. when he was out on bond, might have hidden himself in a foreign country. but refused to go. \Vhen he arrived at the penitentiary he told the warden his name, took one long, lingering _look at the world and entered the living tomb.

In (‘hnsltslug â€"A Country Rich In Precious Woods, Rubber, Gum, Etc. Civilization has been horrified at the discoveryof a fetish dynasty in dark- est Africa which for bloodthirstiness and brutality exceeds anything of re- cord in modern times. It is called Ben- in City, and is located in Upper Guinea, inside the bend of the Elbow, and is pre- sided over by King Druuami. The massacre of a British expedition in the early part of this month has stirred up the blood of England, and public atten- tion'is now directed toward the mens- ures being tak~ 'en for speedy vengeance. The Niger Protectorate sent nine Eng- lishmen and 250 native carriers to the king for the purpose of negotiating for the opening of trade within his do- minion. The old king, mista‘ 'king their movement, on account of the numbers visiting him, for a hostile one, waylaid and butchered all the expedition ex- cept Captains Boisragon and Locke and seven fliroomen, who escaped, and, afâ€" ter wandering for days in the brush, returned wounded and bleeding to New Benin to tell the story. As the season for inland hostilities ends in March speedy work of the old savage king will have to be made. Although the inhabitants of this mur- derous city are savages, they are GOOD SOLDIERS, and are well equipped wi-uh. munitions of war. ’l‘iheir city is strongly in- trenched behind an innpregnable wall of stone, and the soldiers are armed with quick-firing guns and Snyder rifles. The monarch governs by fear alone, and it is unnecessary to add that his forces are well disciplined. His ter- ritory is a rich one, and its products much coveted by Europeans. . Besides all kinds of precious woods, it produces in abundance rubber, gum, copal, gum ara_bic,_tumeric, incense gum and fibers, The ivory is, for the mosu part, seized by the King, who trades it for slaves. On fete days human sacri- fices are made by the hundreds, just as they were in_ the Dark Ages. Some years ago a Liyerpool man, in com- pany \vith Captain Hallway, visited the king. For two days they were kept. waiting on His Satanic Majesty outside the walls of the city, but were at last admitted. They found him, a big black savage, on a throne, and cover- ed to such a depth with beads that he could not move. His nose and toes protruded, ‘howcvor, and when the flies lighted upon these appendages black slaves stood byand brushed the-Lu. away, A treaty was Signed by the liing, which also bore the signature of Queen Vic- toria. l'is terms were never held ver sacred by the monarch, however, as a - terward 'hc sen-t word to an expedition of lunglishvmonlhathe was just as good the white ruler, and bade hcr defiance.
