Household Notes.
A spoonful of sugar added to the wa
ter for basting roast beef will give a
rich brown color as well as fine flavor.
Kerosene is excellent In cleaning
hardwood'dr stained floors. Remove
-dust and wipe a small piece at a time.
Then rub the oil off with a flannel
, cloth.
If instead of spirits of camphor cam
phorated oil be used In cleaning fur
niture it will not only remove the
white, stains, but restore the polish as
weP. -
A small button of garlic In a quart
of vinegar will give lt a mysterious,
delicious flavor, and it will Immensely
improve salads or anything in which
, it is used.
Cereals For Children.
-~ Authorities claim that it Is very in
jurious to allow a child to make a full j
breakfast of cereal While a chlhj-p
may appear to thrive for a time, trou
ble will afterward follow. This Is not
so much the ifanlt of the cereal-top
comp?tition has produced some very' *
excellent " breakfast foods-but with-v
the manner of cooking and . masticat
ing. Composed largely of starch and.-; ?j
tough fiber, cereals should be thors-,
oughly cooked. Those which do not
need cooking before serving should
be well heated aud all moisture or
dampness removed. Cereals are some
. times improved by. adding raisins, ?
; dates, prunes and figs.-New York ?j
. Post. _ ,
For Egg Stained Dishes. s
Every one has experienc 7 the. an*,.- ?
noyance of not being able to.-waob,,
dishes on which there, have, been, .e?g^ ?j
without a great deal of trouble. . When -
dishes on which there is egg are to be
washed rinse them well in cold wa
ter when piling them up ready for.
/ washing. Then wash in the usual
way, and It will be found that the egg
will not stick Dearly so much and will ,
be easier and more quickly removed
than if the dishes are put directly in
the warm water. , ,
Egg stains can be removed from sil
ver by means of a dry cloth and com- ,
mon table salt.
SANG HER VERY BEST. i
- :
Frederick trie Great Was Posted and I
Marie Frausch Was Wise.
There is a good story told of a pi Ima"
douna Damed Marie Frausch..who lived
ID the time of Frederick the Great
Whenever anything or anybody dis
pleased the haughty Frausch she. after
the mauoer of prima donoas lo geoer
al. would suddeuly become too hoarse" :
. to sing. One evening there? was to be 1
sung an opera in ber repertory, and it 1
was expected that the king would at- 1
tend. 1
At the appointed hour the manager f
came forward aud anDouoced that,
owlDg to a ?ore throat. Fraulein **
Frausch was unable to appear.
The people were preparing to leave
the house, but his majesty rose aud
.commanded them to keep their seats. 1
A few moments afterward an officer ;
and four dragoons entered the capri
cious stager's room.
"Fraulein." said the officer, "the king '
inquires after your health."
"The klug is very good," said
Frausch. with a pout, "but I have a
sore throat"
"His majesty ls aware of the fact
and has charged me to take you to the
military hospital to be cured."
Fraulein, turning very pale, suggest
ed that they were jesting, but was told
that Prussian officers never indulged '
In persiflage. Soon she found herself ,
In a coach with four men.
"I am a little better now," Frausch .
faltered, "and I will try to sing."
"Back to the theater!" said the officer
to the coachman.
... The fraulein began to think she had
yielded too easily. "I shall Dot be able
to sing my best," she interposed.
"Pardon, fraulein," responded ?the of
ficer, "but I think yon will." ?
"And why?" ,..:?<" " . [r
"Because two dragoons is-attend- i
ance behind the scenes haye, orders to "
carry you off to the military hospital
at the least cough." ?
Fraulein Frausch never sang/better
than she did that night.-Chicago Kec
ord-Herald.
Saw Her Chance.
"No man shall ever kiss me. except
my future husband," said the girl as
she was about to Jeave the gate.
"Suppose I agree to be your future'!-^ "
"Why, then, ISL ki? you." al?/?lid ./
/eagerly. And she did.
Her mother was informed that he
had proposed, and the old lady cailed
on him the next day to. arrange mat*,
tera, and before he ..knew it he wai
eternally hooked. It was a very, mean
advantage, but a bird in the hand ls
worth two on the garden gate.
. Another Way. Out of IL . i
Nobody had ever had reason to ac- i
cuse Abel Pond of being dishonest, but
he was as sharp a man in af bargain,
as could be found in the county.- When
the building committee applied to .him
for a site for the new.library he.was
ready to sell them a desirable lot, but
not at their price.
"I couldn't feel to let lt go under
$600," he said, with the mild obstinacy
that characterized all his dealings, with
his fellow men. "It wouldn't be right."
"You ought to be willing to contrib
ute something for such an object," said
the chairman of the committee. "If
it's worth six hundred, why not let us
have it for five hundred and call it
you've given the other hundred?"
"M'm-no, I couldn't do that," said
Mr. Pond, stroking his chin, "but I tell
you what I will do. You give me seven
hundred for it, and I'll make out a
check for a hundred and band lt over
to you, so's you can bead the list of
subscriptions with a good round sum
and kind of wake up folks to their
duty."-Youth's Companion.
A Safety Match.
"Papa, what ls a safety match?"
Mr. Henpecked (looking carefully to
see if his wife is withl/ hearing)-A
safety match, son. is when a bald
headed man marries an armless wo
man!-Short Stories.
Couldn't Lose.
"Things seem to be coming your way
of late."
"Couldn't be any softer if I was the
hero of a poker story."-Kansas City
Journal.
Irascible Von Bulow.
During Hans von Billow's leader
ship of the orchestra at Hanover u
tenor of ..fame: was .engaged to play a
star role in "Lohengrin," and while
the singer was rehearsing his part Bu
low was forced to go over the same
bars a number of times without the
new actor beginning to sin;. Tired of
his wasted efforts, the leader stopped
the orchestra and angrily turned to
the singer. Y
"I know that a tenor ls proverbially
stupid," he, said,. "but you seem to
make an extensive use of thia unwrit
ten law."
- At another time, while one of his
grand Intermezzos was being played
with great feeling by his musicians, a
peculiar noise, hardly perceptible by
untrained ears, annoyed the leader for
some little, time. At first he thought
it resembled the flutter of wings, but
soon; he discovered an elegant lady
farming herself In one of the boxes
close by. Bulow kept on with his ges
tures, fixing his eyes on the offender
In i manner which meant reproof. The
lady, not heeding this, was suddenly
surprised by. the leader dropping his
at lek and turning toward her.
"Majaron," he\crled, "If fan you must,
please at leant keep time with your In
fernainuisai.ce!" ?
. An Exception to the Rule.
"It ls- an Invariable fact," said the
professor at the club, "that the sense
of. sight tra reis more rapidly than the
sense of sound. You will observe, slr,
that when a blt of ordnance is fired
from a fortiess or a man-of-war you
see the puff pf smoke, tbat comes coin
cidently with the ? explosion several
moments before, you hear the report
tibuesreot ? Thus >iuhv-ai*ifaiys"
."Not- always,**.,?aid little Tod ge rs
from the corner. "I know of a case
where hearing antedates seeing by
really considerable lapses of time."
"I . know of no such thing In the
whole broad range of science." retort
ed the professor pompously.- "Perhaps
you can enlighten us, slr."
"Well," said Todgers, "it's the case
of an Englishman and a joke. In al
most every case the Englishman hears
a joke about a week before he sees lt,
and"
But the professor bad gone, and they
say that nowadays when be sees Tod
gers he shies off like a frisky horse In
the piesence of a motor car.-Harper's
Weekly.
Waterproofing Matches.
Perhaps some of your readers would
be Interested to know that I have
found a simple. Inexpensive way to
waterproof matches. Into some melted
paraffin, care being taken that it was
as cool as possible, I dipped a few or
dinary parlor matches. After with
drawing them and allowing them to
cool lt was fonnd that they scratched
almost as easily as before being coated
with the wax. Several-.were held un
der water for six or seven hours,, and
all of .them lighted as easily as be
fore Immersion. When the match ls
scratched the paraffin is first rubbed off
and the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing ls required to light
them than the ordinary match, lt
would be practically Impossible to set
them on fire by accidental dropping.

Well Drillers Are Mon
ey Makers.
Everybody uses water. A drilled
well is the only way of obtaining a
pure, cold and unfailing supply.
Dug wells and springs are simply
cess pools collecting disease breed
ing surface drainage. 85 per cent,
of Typhoid fever is contracted from
bad water.
. A.Keystone drill will penetrate
the bed rock and tap the pure unfail
ing streams below. All surface
water is securely cased off. A drill
ed well rarely goes dry in the most
protracted drouth. It is safe.
There is more money in a keystone
Drilling Outfit than in a threshing
machine and you work all the year
round instead of three months out of
twelve. Machine is the most com
plete on the market and is not to be
confounded with cheap and flimsy
outfits. Drills a six-inch hole
through any formation to any depth
at.the rate of 50 -feet a day in
ordinary formations. Costs $5.00
a day to run in fuel and labor.
Will go anywhere under its own
