Probably sailors and miners are more impressed by their respective callings than any other workers. The sailor, living in great open spaces, and subject to sudden and unforeseen con- tingencies, is frank to the verge of recklessness, and full of prompt re- source. He usually thinks what he pleases and says what he thinks with- out chopping logic,â€"the sea molds his“ character to its own moods, and wheâ€" ther these resemble the hard-hitting of the gale, or the softer tempers of; smooth waters, both are frank and free.? - ‘ A- :" AL- “All 1 When marketing, remember that if poultry is ypun-g, the end of the breastâ€"bone is just like gristle; and that the joints are limber and the legs smooth. When fresh killed, the eyes are full and the feet moist. The feet and beak of a young goose are yellow, but if the bird has weathered too many storms, its feet and beak will be reddish color, and bristly. If the feet are not pliable, it is a sign that the goose has been a long time dead. That fat of a young bird is whiter and softer than that of an old one. Unless the weather is very warm, all kinds of poultry, turkeys especially, are improved by hanging for a day or two. The linen used for doilies that are to have borders of drawn work should be very fine, or of linen cambric lawn. The difficulty of drawing the threads from such line-n is much lessened if a piece of fine, dry, white soap is rubbed carefully over the space where it is desired ‘to do the work. A Celery Stewâ€"A new and dainty way of cooking oysters is a stew of celery, cream and wine. Cut stalks of celery into dice and fry in butter for a couple of minutes, then add enough sherry wine to make a good dressing, and a little later a little sweet cream; when this is well cooking, add the whole oysters, and serve with toast or on plates garnished with parsley. THE OYSTER. Oyster Brochette.â€"Th1s favorite dish is prepared in a unique manner. A heavy pointed wire measuring four inches in length, with a ring or hook at one end, IS the principal utensil used in cooking. The cook slips an oyster over the wire and next a small piece of bacon, and following it anoth- er oyster, the oysters first being dip- ped in melted butter and rolled in cracker crumbs. The ere is then sus- pended from the broiler over the fire, and. when the oyster 'ls nicely Drown- ed it is served on buttered toast. While many a housewife has made it her habit to lay away the bed lin- en in larilender scented closets, it was not until recently that the perfumed pad invaded the bed itself. This pad is a thin quilted affair, which has one layer of cotton plentifully besprinkled with the favorite scentâ€"either rose, lavender or violetâ€"in a sachet powder. From time to time the powder IS re- newed around the edges. The pad 18 laid between the matress and the low- er sheet. Pillows are also opened at the cor- ners and sachet powder shaken into the feathers. Those who are fond of the smell of pine woods gather pine needles during the summer and use the-m about the wide hems of the pads and pillows, making special little sacks for the needles and filling them in flat. war In a like manner she might learn to like them also. The advantages of learning to like all things is not sufficiently realized, and often is not recognized until later years bring the consequent inconven- iences and perhaps sufferlng. to be more healthy. and~ robust. and is destined to be far more agreeable to others. A young lady of ‘noble charac- teristics who had through childhood encouraged a distaste for vegetables, finding herself a source of annoyance and inconvenience in homes where she visited, resolved to overcome this un- pleasant tendency. She therefore re- quested that she be served sparingly of these foods that she might learn to like them. In this way She_taught her- self really to like everythlng but po- tatoes, and was entertaining a hope that in a like manner she might learn to_l_ike them also. HOW TO BUY POULTRY. SAILORS AND MINERS. LINEN FOR DOILIES. PERFUM ED BEDS. NO DOUBT OF any wen-prepared \, October 12, 1899 .A memorandum of a piece of 95 yrds. made at an earlier date is given: 115 lb. of rags; 15 lb. black; 17 lb. green; 14 lb. red; 23 lb. tan; 291-2 1b. miscel- laneous; 4 lb. orange; 31-2 1b. yellow; 9 lb. old calico. For the best effect for “hit and miss’ there should be a variety of bright colors, varying in length from two or three inches to thirty six. Prepare them all if possible, put in a box or basket, and mix well before commenc- ing to sew. A hit-and-miss stripe, six inches wide, alternating with aplain stripe of preferred width or color, is a pretty design. Checks and stripes can be made by using different colored warp, but it cheapens the effect, one color gives a richer tone. The shades of green are glven in roqnd numbers, the same of tan and “so would. Lind. place in the rag-bag, cumber closet or attic, and invite mOths. A well-made rag carpet will outlast two or three of the cheap, loosely-woven, sleazy article's sold at carpet emporiums. Heavy woolen, cut Wide and more or less unevenly, entered largely into the home-made carpets of our foremothers; little warp was used, and the rags in weaver’s phrase “were nOt well beat up,” the result was afabric of coarse texture, heavy to handle and unbeau- tilul. The ideal modern rag carpet is mad-e mostly of cotton and soft woolen, cut {fine and neatly sewed, plenty (if warp, close Weaving, and a harmonious arrangement of colors give a light, durable, and handsome carpet. D--_~-â€"-â€"'r ‘ ‘ , _.. _-_uvvmv vaLyOLo Experience teaches that the pre- vailing tone should be light rather than dark colored, as it shows dust and lint less. An accumulation of old garments, to be washed, ripped, sorted, out, sewed, and possibly colored, is formidable; but if each is taken as soon as it is past use, cut, put in a box to be sewed in odd minutes,it is sur- prising how rapidly the balls will ac- cumulate. An idea of the outlay of time and money required to make the simplest of these floor coverings can be gained form the following extract from my diary: Feb. 12, 1888.â€"-There came from the weaver’s to-day 27 yards of “hit and miss” carpeting. The cash outla was for 9 1-21b. of warp, at 220., $2.09; 4 spools thread, 20c.; 6 1-2 yds. damaged red calico, 200.; weaving, 120 a yard, 33.24; total, $5.73. Cost per yard. 21 l-4c. A pound of warp suffices for about 3 yards. Annie and 1 prepared the material in four weeks during "these short winter days, including the work for a family of four persons and the milking of two cows. We did not work evenings, and took from half to an hour each day for outdoor exercise. This carpet has seen constant service in a bedroom for ten years; careful scrutiny reveals only an occasional rag or thread broken. Pretty carpets for small bedrooms are made of colored White rags, old sheets, pillow slips and under gar- ments. Half may be green and half medium brown, or half red and the re- mainder a yellow brown. A fancy ef- fect can be produced by dipping half the skein in one dye and half in the other. Rags to be colored should be in‘skeins to save dye. _ ragsâ€"cast-off garments which other- wise would find place in the rag-bait. MAKING RAG CARPETS. We take this Opportunity of thanking our customers for past patronage, and we are convinced that the new system will merit a. continuance DI the same. We beg to inform our customers and the public generally that we have adopted the Cash System, which means Cash or its Equiv- alent, and that our motto will be “Large Sales and Small Profits.” Adopted by Let the weaver arrange the stripes, giving you a sample which you can change if you wish. To save ravelling when cut, have woven in at the ends of each breadth some of the warp, or any old cotton yarn. If the size of the room cannot be determined at time of :weaving., when ready to make, cut off 1 each breadth, match stripes, and sew two or three times across each end with the machine. Bind with carpet bra-id rather than hem. Make the f carpet somewhat smaller than size 0t 4 1 room, as it stretches with use, and will need turning under after a year or two, and this is disastrous, as two thicknesses harbor moths.
