The housewife, who must be cham- bermaid, seamstress cook, and fre- quently laundress, must study menus that .will build the brain and brawn of her famiily, take as little time as possible to prepare, and at the same time be palatable and sightly writes Mrs. S. T. Borer. Her life is not an easy one, but she alone, it would seem, is responsible for many hands‘lnpis of which she complains. The hours which she spends in fancy cooking and the ironing of fancy clothing might, for her healths sake, much better be given to rest- ing and recreation. The latter is quite as necessary as the former. _Complicated mixtures, such as pies, cakes, preserves and jellies, are seen in great variety and abundance on the farmhouse table, all of them producing much heat without giving a corresponding amount of nitrogen or musclenraking. food. As the hard work of the farm is done dur- ing the heat-ed tenm any one can see at a glance the folly of such a diet. Butter and cream, admirable foods for winter are undesirable in hot_ weather; and still, during harâ€" vest time, when the men are at the great-est strain, these soâ€"c-allod good thin-gs of life are most bountifully bestowed upon them. No longer is the overladen table. containing six or eight kinds of pre- serves and a dozen kinde of cake popular. The intelligent wounan nd longer stands over the hot fire to preserve or make layer cakes or piesâ€"all composed, perhaps, of good wholesome food, but each better without being made complex. She takes her breadâ€"andâ€"butter sand- wich with the fresh fruits, rather than rubbing the butter into the flour and putting the sweetened cooked fruit inside. In this way 55110 has better and more digestible foo'd. 2H] NTS T O HO U S EK PER S . Two quarts of stemuned currants m'ake two pints of juice, and with two pounds of sugar make three glasses of jelly. In putting away pickles it is a good plan to put a slice or two of horseradish root in each can. This keeps the vinegar clear and free from scuzm. "It is said that adding half a bushâ€" Do not let it stand, cess last winter was made as folâ€" lows: Butter three slices of white bread and two of graham. Put' to- gether alternately and press togeth- er, then cut to the size and shape desired. In getting vinegar for pickles al- ways get cider vinegar if it its a. possi his thing. Other kinds frequently make the pickles turn soft or eat up the pickles. If too sftk'ong, dilute with a little water. Pickles should be tightly sealed, to prevent air from reaching them, as this kills the vinegar. Here is how a contributor cans pieplant. Peel and cut the stalks into half inch pieces. Fill into a glass can, pour in cold water enough to fill the spaces and get out all the air bubbles. Set the can in a pail of water deep enough to cover it, and screw on the top under waâ€" ter. ,When wanted to use drain in a colander and use as if fresfh. Here is a mosquito trrap said to be invaluable: Fasten a small tin pail cover on the end of along stick and put on it a large roll of cotton moistened with a little kerosene. Discover your mosquito Where he is resting upon the wall and hold this trap just below him until he wilts. The process is most effeotive when the insect is obligin‘g enough to rest on the ceiling. Small c-ans, pint and half-pint, where the latter can be procured, are best for putting up preserves and jams. The one-pound jars, such as the jams and preserves we buy are put up in, are excellent for home- made preserves. They will hold enough to serve once, and that is better than to have a. large quantiâ€" ty that, having to be opened sever- al times, is liable to fermentation. Sometimes it seems as if a. can of fruit is all juice and about the only use one can make of.it is in pies. In this case the pie is a libtle diffiâ€" cult to make, but by draining dff the juice, rubbing a little flour into it as if for gravy, and letting it cook till it thickens, then adding the fuuit and making the pie, there will be neither soggy crusts or a “Spew- ed out" pie. HIER GRAPE FAITII. “When the grapes ripen, then I will get fat and strong,” we heard a weary-eyed woman say; and she did. Grapes were her favorite fruit. She. had firm faith in their powers, and she ate heartin of them as long as one clung to the vine. \Worn with the spring work, and the heat of harvest days and much cooking, she felt “all tired out” by the time the first early grapes ripened. Then she got better. I-Ier step became buoyant, her eyes brighter, her arms rounder. Grapes were her medicine, and she could not have told why. There is said to be a lifeâ€"giving principle in grapes, which builds tissue and stimulatesth sympathe- tic nervous system, bringing to a state of working calm, and soothing an irritated, inflamed mucous sur- face. They are also thought to re- lieve certain urinary disorders. _____..+__.._._.. SERVIA'S NEW KING. The new King of Servia seems from all accounts to be the stamp of man to appeal to the susceptible hearts of the Servian people. For, although there are some among them who harbor enmities, and whose minds are still filled with the traditions of the old ven-dettas, yet the majority of Servia’s population are a simple people, quiet of manner, and easily led. King Karageorgevitch is simple, unassuming, of plain tastes, and quite unkingly in his manner and habits. He dislikes ostentation and seldom entertains ladies, for he thinks they create disturbances. At his house in Geneva he sometimes gave small dinner-parties to his men friends, and always after dinner, which was served at 9.30, he would play chess or cards with his son or nephew Michaelvics. At his dinnerâ€"- parties he never employed extra ser~ vants, but had the meals cooked at a restaurant near by. His break- fast consists of a cup of black cof- fee and a roll of French bread, and throughout the day his Majesty drinks copious draughf's of strong coffee and smokes cigarettes con- stantly. I-Iis drawingâ€"room is furnished suinptuously, and throughout the house magnificent pictures by old masters decorate the walls. _..__+_____._ SPIDERS LIKE LIUSIC .
