Notes.
Careful cooking of even the longest
used and best known kinds of food,
whether animal or vegetable, is the
Important rule to Insure health and
strength from the table. No matter
what the quality of the food to begin
with may be, a bad cook will invaria
bly Incur heavy doctor's bills and a
not less Inconsiderable "little account"
at the druggist's.
In serving tartare sauce with fried
fish place the sauce In curled leaves
from the heart of the lettuce and
notice how the appearance of the
fish Is improved.
Strawberry Jelly and whipped cream
always make a delicious dessert for
dinner or luncheon.
Brides to be who have gone to Paris
for their clothes and have filled their
trunks with lovely apparel say that
there Is a fad over there for tho wear
ing of two wedding veils. One Is of
brussels lace and the other of tulle.
House warmmgs are most delight

A large mouth usually denotes ten-

stretching the lips back, showing the
teeth, a sort of smiling and "unsmil-

I the fat, develop the muscles and gives

ART OF SWEEPING.
Wrong Way and Right
This Work.
Way to do
Every one does not know how to
sweep a room. It requires skillj com
bined with patience, to clean a room
properly. The chief mistake made
;by a novice is to think she can hurry
through It, and to think the room will
be clean if she takes long heavy
strokes with her broom. Short, light
strokes which are firm will do the
work as It should bo done. It Is al
ways best to sweep a heavy Ilrussels
carpet, or one of similar make, once
with the grain, then twice across' it,
; going over each three or four yards
I in this way until the entire carpet is
I swept. When a carpet is old and
. evenly worn this Is hardly necessary,
but If it is new, or has any preeeptible
j ridges, this method should surely be
'followed. After going over a room
thoroughly, allow the dust to settle,
land in ten or fifteen minutes give It
a final brushing, sweeping It lightly,
'and nothing Is more satisfactory than
a sweeper or dampened broom.

Hair
D
ressmg
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
make the hair more manage
able; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair-food.
Well-fedhairwillbestrong,and
will remain where it belongs
on the head, not on the comb!

tiers
pet are good. They should be squeezed
as dry as possible, and sprinkled over
the carpet before the final sweep.
Another good plan Is to sprinkle the
floor before starting to sweep with
dry table salt. Tho salt seems to
brighten the colors of a faded carpet,
as well as to aid in removing dust.
When the second sweeping is over use
a wlsk broom In the corners and
around the edges. Alter the walls
are, dusted and the carpet clean It Is
well to wlpo off the surface of the
carpet with a cloth dipped In salt and
water, which has been wrung out as
dry as possible. This will remove
every trace of dust. Tho cloth used
for the pusposo must be frequently
rinsed in fresh water, and then dip
ped into the salted water again, and
wrung out as before. Then some
folks like to go over tho carpet with
ammonia water, but I prefer the salt,
as salt keeps out moths.
It is needless to say that In sweep
Ing as thoroughly as this every arti
cle which Is movable should bo remov
ed first, or dusted, and carefully cov.
ered with old sheets.
It 'Is a great mistake to neglect
sweeping as thoroughly as this every
two weeks. If you do tho dust be
comes ground Into a carpet and helps
it to wear out. Besides, dust discol
ors It more, or quite as much, as
wear.
PLAN TO RESEEO RANGES
Government Will Make Experiments
in Cultivation of New Grasses.
About one -third of the entire area
of the I'nited States Is grazing land,
and the Government Is Impresaed
with the importance of making these '
vast ranges productive of sufficient
forage to meet all demands of the
great livestock Industry. There are
now over 400,000.000 acreH useful for
ipaKturlng but unless some plan of re-
seeding Is devised, cattle-raising will
not long bo profitable. The depart
ment of Agriculture has started a
series of experiments with cultivated
grasses, and will make studies of
range improvement and ascertain how
cattle and sheep can bo handled so as
to reduce the wasto duo to hertilng
and tramping..

"You Just wait-that fly Is a wonder
and will soon have 'em taking notice."

couple-to rich for my system."
"And what, may I ask, is your sys

"It needs to be Illustrated," be said
solemnly, "not the fish, but the system. 1

I "I don't know that you are a quail-

way that made her line cross Ran- ',
dolph's. "Professor Jordan is coining ,
down tomorrow to stay in camp with
us two days," and the inference was '
that Professor Jordan, as a teacher, (
could not lie discounted. i
"Humph! The old fossil!" grunted
