Library Etiquette.*
It i8 bad form for' a guest to take
boobs from the bookcases without permission.
In many instances they remain
in the guest chamber, to be replaced
by some member of the family
who requires them for immediate use.
Magazines, periodicals, papers are for
the library table, and should be left
there. Order and consideration for the
desires of all are among the canons of
? '"i-- i??
good SOCieiy. lue uesc scat iuc
cheerful blaze should be for the invalid
or elderly person. Age and sickness
demand a courtesy that should be on
all occasions extended to them. It is
their prerogative. "Don't fail iu proper
attention to elderly people Don't
stand before the fire to the exclusion of
the warmth from others. Don't fail
iu irood manners in anything."
There are three articles that should
be chained to the library table?the
paper cutter, scissors and pencils for
family use. It is the displacing fif
these little instruments of usefulness
that disturb the disposition, irritate
the temper, and are among the causes
of the hasty word and the uukind
thought.
"The borrowed book." What a text
for a sermon, said a clever author.
If books are borrowed, mar them
not; neither turn down the leaves,
and above all, be careful to return
them in as good a state of preservation
as when borrowed. To write on the
margins is uupardonable, vulgar, illhrprf
And ho the librarv has its et
iquette, social laws add good form. Id
this inviting place tbe inmates enjoy
the calm repose, the new books, the
firelight's sparkle. Here they pen the
loving words, and in this sanctum our
intellectual life grows, spreads and
digests. It is the room of sweet disorder,
where dead authors lie and give
us all their gems of thought aud intellectual
life.?Good Housekeeping.
Iced Ten.
There ia a certain good woman, the
wife of a prominent lawyer of Texas,
who had never lived out of the country
In which she was born. Her husband
attended tbe courts at the diflerent
towns of the State, and his wife
listened to his experiences with wonder
and surprise. The Saturday Gazette
gives this story:
He never grew tired of extolling the
- -t
virtues or * n uig giass ui ittu ?u
when a man is warm and tired and
when a new railroad line waslaid out
to his native town his firstcommission
was for a quanity of ice.
The wife was neither surprised nor
displeased to have a well filled ice
chest, and on the morning after the
arrival of the ice the lawyer requested
her to have iced tea for supper.
It was an extremely warm day, and
when he took his sent at the table he
was hot, tired and thirsty.
What was his surprise to see, instead
of the refreshing, amber beverage of
his soul's desire, the same old steaming
Brown Betty teapot aud the cups
and saucers of former days.
"Where is the iced tea, Mary?" he
asked.
''There 'tis," she answered, laying
her forefinger on the hissing lid of
Brown Betty; "and if you can tell
any difference betwixt it and plain
water tea, vou're smarter than I be."
She had boiled the ice.?Youth's
Companion.
Honseliold IIin I*.
Dry the tin dishes before puttiug
away.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet disbes. It will make
the pudding or cake heavy.
To make brooms last longer than
they ordinarily do, dip them once a
week in boiling suds. This toughens
the strands.
Test your bluing by adding some
washing soda to it in solution ot water.
If it turns reddish it is Prussian blue,
and to be avoided because it is composed
of iron, which becomes decomposed
by the use of soap and soda, aud makes
iron rust spots.
Articles of food that are damp or
juicy snouia never oe ieu iu papers.
Paper Is merely a compound of rags,
glue, lime and similar substances, with
acids and chemicals intermixed, and
when damp is unlit to touch things
that are to be eaten.
Peanut Candy .?Two cups of white
sugar, one-half cup of water; let it boil,
then add one half teaspoonful of cream
tartar dissolved in a little cold water.
Cook until when dropped in cold
water it is brtttle, then add {butter the
size of ao English walnut, and cook a
few minutes longer. Pour over the
shelled nuts, already spread in buttered
tins, and set away to cool.
Green Tomato Pickle?One peck of
tomatoes, one cup of brown sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of horseradish, four
onions, six peppers, one tablespoon
each of cloves, allspice and cinnamon.)
Split each tomato and slice peppers and
onions. Lay them in a stone jar.
Sprinkle in a teacup of salt. Pour oft'
the water and cook with vinegar
enough to cover, adding the sugar
and 9pices. Do not cook uutil the
tomatoes are soft. They should, however
be thoroughly scalded. Pack in
jars aud pour on Ainegar to cover.
For cleaning tinware there is nothing
better than dry flour, applied with
a newspaper. After beiug thoroughly
washed in very hot soapsuds and wiped
dry, tin vessels should be set on the
top of the stove for a few moments and
then vigorously scoured for a few
moments, with ihe dry flour rubbed
on with a wad of newspaper crumpled
and softened. Iu this way tinware
may be kept free from rust and almost
as bright and glistening as silver, care
being taken that it is never put away
damp and that it is kept in a dry
place.
