About the House. DINING ROOM FURNITURE. The appointments of a dining room are so few that any error in the choice or combination is more noticeable than in any room except a hall. How- ever expensive the furnishing. an air of comfort and cheer should be impart- ed. Mahogany. stained oak. cherry. and walnut are the accepted woods. High~backed chairs are less favored than formerly, and high-top buffets or sideboarda the exception. Chairs should be light enough to move easily. or else be furnished with casters. \Vood frames with oldâ€"time rush and cane seats are very much in favor. Movable cushions fitted to the seats and covered with leather plain or embossed. or wool tap- estry. make such chairs better for hard usage than upholstered ones. Side chairs should not have arms unless the room is very .large; end chairs. for the conâ€" venience of the host and hostess in serv- ing should be somewhat higher. and have arms. The shape of the table is a matter of_choice. The sideboard should be commodious. and as elegant as one can afford. Corner china or crystal closets wrth glasses doors. and mir- rors at the bzick. to reflect the dainty cortirttents. are both convenient and ele- ga . - CRaAlB‘ APPLE JELLY. Probably the most delicious of all jellies is that made from crab apples. Its delicate flavor and fine color make it a favorite. If carefully. made it is clear, transparent and firm. Wild- cmb apples make the finest jelly, hav- ing a more decided flavor than that made of the cultivated tree. \Vash the apples and quarter them. ’ Cut away any decayed parts. but do not pare or remove the cores. . Put am: web or two. of water into akcttle and. t the apples into it. Boil until it orms a pulpJ Pour it into a coarse cotton bag or‘ strainer. and when cool press it. to extract all the juice. Now take a finer cloth and put it over the colander. Pour the juice r‘through. this, a. cupful at a time washing out the cloth frequently. Do this twice. 1f the juice is not very tart or the flavor pronounced. add the strained 'uice of our lomotns to a peek of asap es and! threeo'uarters of a pound. 0 sugar to each pint of juice. Put the juice on to boil for fifteen minutes. and while boil- llng sift in’ the sugar alowlyl: lBoiI for five minutes longer. If it) does not jell then. allow it to boil 10 n it is al- ways safest to "try" jellies before re- moving from the fire, as fruit varies hi the amount of water it contains. l AlBOUT COMIMON SALT. lA bag of salt. heated. and applied over a painful spot. is often very effic- acious in allaying pain. especially those of a colicky nature in the stomach and bowels. says a writer in the Boaton " 'h‘aveler." A weak solution of salt in water is a good remedy for slight-in- digestion. especially that characterized by a sense of weight and oppression. Dissolved in water and snuffed up the nostrils it is of use in curing catarrh, but when chronic its use must be per- sisted in night and morning for sev- eral months. A handful of rock salt added to the bath is the next best thing to an ocean dip. A weak solution is good for sore throat to be used as a gargle. and this is still better if a few grains of red pepper are added. As a dentifrice salt and water will not. only cleanse. but. whiten the teeth, and will harden the gums. Used in washing the hair it will pre- vent the hair from falling out. When broiling steak. a pinch or two of 3:1” thrown on the fire will quench the flames arising from the‘ dripping at. Added to a bucket of water it forms a remarkable effective fire extinguish- er. A little salt in raw or boiled starch will prevent the irons from sticking, and make the starch whiter. If the trons ape rough. lay some salt on a pieceof brown paper. lay a piece of muslin over it. and rub the irons on it until they are bright and smooth. Ink stains may be removed by the use of moistened salt. When it becomes discolored. remove it. alnd use a fresh eunily until no color remains. . aw culicos soaked in a strong solu- tion emit for an hour before wash- ing thI retain their colors better. Damp salt will remove the discolor- ation of tea and the like in dishes that have been carelessly washed.

London society has not yet recover- edfrom i't's aswnidhmen't over the an- nouncement of the engagement of Lady Anne Coventry. daulginier of the Bard o‘f Coventry. to Prince Victor de E'ulleep Simglhn. The Prince' is the son and heir of the great Indian monarch Who was dethroned in order to enable England to annex one of the richest districts in that country absolutely for her own. Among othen possessions of this potentabe was the Kohinoor (lia- mond, which a year on two ago he pre- sented to Queen ‘He was given a. pension of about: £70,000 ayear by t'lte British Government, and having manicda Frenth woman, he removed to England and led him life of an Engâ€" lish country gentleman, being at one time a near neighbor to the Prince of Wales. His wife was recognized at court as a Princess of semi-royal rank. and the olld Maharajahl was given pre- cedence over all the English nobility and treated in every respect as a prince of the blood. - Blult the old Prime spent too much money and the British Government de- dlmned to pay his debts. and all of a sudden lhe revotl'ted. declared that he no longer owed allegiance to the Bri- t‘ish- crown. and. departed for the con- tuuent.

It was oln that occasion that she sent for the Kohunoor dimnond. once the crown jewel ofthe deposed Maharajah, and. placing it: in his hand. declared that she would only wear it again if he deug'ned to resent it to her.

When the mouth is dloscd this palate hangs down and leavw plenty of room for the air to pass through the ‘nose. If the nose passage is obstruct- ‘ed in any manner, so that the person finds it easier to breathe through the mouth when asllcep. then the air causes the soft palate to vibrate, thus caus- ing the snore It is very rare indeed that a man snares whille his mouth is ldlosed. and when sulch a case is discov- i cred the snoring is never loud and sel- . dom troubles any one else.

"Occasionally the removal of the ob- Istruction does not stop the snoring, the habit of breathing through ‘the moult'h having become so strong.

[it the same time hot sand and ashes are thrown out over the surrounding country. completer obscuring the sun. Branches of trees are broken off by the weight of the ashes, and the forests, which were a soul“) of great wealth are des~ titute.

The last reports received placed the total loss of life to July 1 at. 500. At; that time the towns of . Ia‘lipot, Honey, and Libog had been partly destroyed. Railwa tracks and bridges have been destroys and several persons killed by the eruption of Shiranes, a volcano in Gumma Prefecture. Japan. Late m July earthquake shocks were felt, fol- lowed by the eruption, which threw ashes and sand nearly a mile from the crater. Next. day there was another eruption about 100 feet from the old crater. hot water and mud . being thrown seventy feet into the air. This continued three hours. The crater re- mains full of boiling mud and more eruptions are expected. . ._____.â€"-â€"-â€"â€"-â€" HOUSEVVIFE LURE. ‘ 1 Charlotte is a corruption of the old . ‘English word charlyt, which means a dish. of custard. and cliarlotte russc I is Russian charlotte.
