To have money is to save it. The one sure way to save it
is to deposit it w ith Wasco Warehouse M illin g Co. bank.
You w ill then be exempt from the annoyance of having
it burn holes in your pockets. Aside from the fact that
your money w ill be safe from theft; the habit of saving
tends to the establishment of th rift, economy, discipline
and a general understanding of business principals essen

In making sponge cake if you
deeire it to be yellow use cold wa
ter: hot water makes it whiter.
Let green peas simmer gently in
just enough water to 000k them;
hard boiling spoils them. If they
are a little too old to be in perfection
add a saltspoonful of baking soda
to each quart of peas.
If you wish ioe cream to be orna-
olal you may use beet juioe for
coloring. It will give you any shade

perfectly harmless.
Silver that has been lying by for
some «me or has not been properly
cleaned is often so discolored that
it is impossible to remove the stains
with ordinary whiting or plate

paste witli salad oil, well rubbed or
brushed into every crcvico, left for
a few hours, and tho silver then
washed and cleaned in the usual
way, every vestige of stain will have

A florist of experience gives the
following recipe for preserving
bouquets: “ When you receive a
bouquet sprinkle it lightly with
fresh water, then put it into a ves
sel containing some soapsuds,which
nourish and keep the flowers as
bright as new. Take a bouquet out
of the suds every morning and lay
it sidewise in fresh water, the stock
entering first into the water; keep
it there a minute or two, then take
it out and sprinkle flowers lightly
with pure water. Replace the bou
quet in eoapsudsand the flower will
bloom as fresh as when first gath
ered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. In this
way a bouquet can he kept beauti
ful for a month.
Burning orange peel will dissipate
the odor of tobacco smoke in a room.
Il’s ail right to talk about art,
but give us the woman who can
take a bunch of rhubarb, some flour
and a rolling pin and make a lot
of pies that puts a man in love with
even his next-door neighbor.
Much of the trouble with chim
neys filling up with soot can be
avoided if potato paringsare burned
in the stove. The chemical action
is such that the soot is entirely
cleaned out and there is no danger
of its becoming filled up, even if
soft coal is used. Every once or
twice a week throw the potato par
ings in the stove. If yours ¡ b a gas
sibve, light the oven and place a
few of the parings on the over shelf.
They will bum up and smoke terri
bly and thus clear the pipe. Be
careful not to let them blaze.
If you will give the linoleum or
oil cloth a coat of varnish directly
after it has been laid it will wear a
great deal better and will not stain,
as both oilcloth and linoleum will,
if not treated in tlqs manner. If
one coat of varnish is applied direct
ly the other seems to ho wearing off
the oilcloth can be made to wear
indefinitely, and the pattern will
remain a great deal brighter.
Many women can keep veils a
long time without getting holes in
them. But they get «oft and old-
looking. If the veil is dipped
thoroughly in wood alcohol, not
wrung out, hut just shaken and
stretched on the bed as you would
a lace curtain, it will lie like new.
Dont pin it down and, of oourse,
Ibis isn’t for chiffon veils.

now speaking I was only fifteen year«
old. 1 remember distinctly we reached
the thriving city on tbe evening of
May 18—the year wns 18T9—and stop
ped at the Brown House, which was
considered the l>est hotel la town and
the one most affected by Englishmen.
"The town wns all excitement, and
everybody wns tulklng about tbe exe
cution that was to take place on tbe
morrow.
Laparde— I think his first
name was Anatole, but I ’m not sure of
tbl»—a youth of nineteen, wss to be
guillotined for tho murder of his
father, mother and grandmother, and
the neck cutting was to take place in
the public aquare In front of the pris
on, several blocks from tbe hotel. My
uncle understood French thoroughly,
and he told me of tho matter, and 1
was more than pleased when- he said
that ho was going to the square In the
morning to witness the legal hatchery
and offered to take me along.
"In the little restaurant where we
took our supper there was a very
obliging w aiter who told ua the atory
of the Laparde«. The Lspardee were
well to do bourgeois and were highly
thought of In the community.
The
father kept a wine store on one of the
principal streets and lived with his
w ife, his mother and bis son on the
floors above his place of business.
"W hen we went back Into the main
room of the Brown Mouse after hear
