ECONOMY IN GAS.
It Is little short of marvellous how
many women who pride themselves
on their economy will waste dollars
In one direction to save pennies In
another. A good Instance of this can
be seen In the way so many go on
using single saucepans on gas or
gasoline-stoves, simply because they
have them, never seeming to realize
that they are wasting more every
month In the additional fuel con
sumed by keeping a fire under each
separate pan than the cost of the
double or triple cooking utensils for
use over a single burner.—Harper's
Bazar.

COOLING CAKES OR PIES.
I havs learned that a pie set upon
a perforated staudard will coo! with
out steaming the crust, and on the
second day will^te almost as fresh
as new. How many soggy under-
crusts we find in pies. When remov
ing the pie from the oven, unless you
are positive that the und-'rcrust Is
crisp, place on top of stove a few mo
ments. Then set the pie to cool on
the strainer from the potato rlcer, or
even on a teacup, or a colander
turned bottom up. The idea is to
have the air circulate underneath and
so rave the steaming process which
must result if the pie is placed upon
a shelf.
If a cake s°ems diracuR to remove
from tlie pan, set it for a minute upon
a cloth wet in cold water. This
causes a quick sterming and .he cake
loosens almost, ir.antiy If. how
ever. you want to i ve 'he cake in
the pan. place this on a cup as per
pie rule. — Ladies’ World.

CHOICE OF EVILS.
‘ Well, old man,” said Sinnickson,
after the performance, “I certainly
was surprised to see you in private
theatricals. ”
"Yes,” replied Brightly, “but, you
s"e, if I didn’t appear on the stage
I d probably hare to sit in the audi
ence and be bored to death.”—P’uib
ad"lphla Press.
FOR THE RAENDRY
For luundenng silk stockings, soak
first in wat t in which a little borax
has btem dissolve d—just enough to
give the slightest "smooth” feeling to
the water. Then make a suds of pure
white soap, turn the stockings In
side out, wash, rinse and hang to
dry. For colored stockings, soak in
salt, water for an hour to prevent
colors from "running.”
Fine pieces of lace may be washed,
stretched on some smooth surface un
til dry, then placed between tho
leaves of some large book, a weight
put on »t, and this will save ironing.
Clothes that have grown yellow
with lying long, may be whitened by
boiling them in water to which b .s
been added a tablespconful of the fol
lowing emulsion to half a boiler of
water: Paraffin, lime water and tur
pentine, mixed in equal parts, well
shaken before using. Bottle the mix
ture for use.
Delicate colors, embroideries, etc.,
should be washed in bran water, or
thin starch, rinsed well, and let get
dry; dampen, roll up and iron with
a moderately hot iron. A very hot
iron will injure colors.
To wash ribbons great care must
be exercised, as they seldom look as
well after washing as before. If gas
oline will not clean them, place the
ribbon on a board and brush gently
with a very soft brush dipped in mild
.Map suds. Rinse the ribbon in the
same way, washing the soap out and
iron without drying, just as they are
taken from the last, water.—The
Commoner.
NO DANGER.
Howell- "Do you know that it bps
been said you shouldn't read a book
that Is less than a year old””
Powell "There is no danger of
my reading a book that is less than a
year old. A' soon as 1 buy one
somebody 1 oiwows it and keeps it."--
