. WIUNUS TUB MOP Mop Wrlnjrer. Tho wringing out of wnter-sonked moim which have boon uhciI to clean the floors Is a disagreeable task that Is . objectionable to ev erybody. To be able to do this with out bringing the hands In contact with the wet mop Is tho object of a contrivance recent ly patented by a Chicago man. As shown In tln Illus tration, It consists of a bent metal frame, one section being pivoted to tno other. At the top of each section Is a revolvable roll. To .wring out the mop a bucket is slipped within the frame through the opening In the back, the top of the bucket being placed beneath the rollers. The wet mop Is. placed over the front roller, and by pressing the foot on the pointed section of the frame the other roller Is brought Into con tact with the mop. At the end of one roller Is a small handle, which, when turned, forces the mop between the rollers. Connecting the rollers Is a spring, which forces them apart when the foot Is removed, the mop In this way being released. Cooking- by Electricity. t On one of the largest and most mod ern of the transatlantic steamers cook ing Is done entirely by electricity, so that there are hone of the fumes and odors of wood, coal and petroleum clinging to the food when It Is served a fact sure to be appreciated by trav elers Inclined to seaslckenss. In the kitchen of, this boat, says Electric Trade, the little electric stoves are ar ranged in rows In a manner somewhat resembling the keyboard of a type writer.' Each stove cooks a certain meat, fish, vegetable, soup, dessert, etc. The most curious device Is the arrange ment for boiling eggs. An Ingenious mechanism automatically pushes the eggs out of the water as soon as they are boiled. The success of this appll cation of electricity to culinary conven ience and facility, to say nothing of Its cleanliness, should be a hint to restuu rant and hotel proprietors. Deviled Lobster. Take out all the meat from a boiled lobster, reserving the coral j season highly, with mustard, cayenne, salt and Borne kind of table Bauce. Stew until well mixed and put In a covered sauce pan, with Just enough water to keep from burning. Rub the coral smooth, moistening with vinegar until thin enough to pour easily,' then stir It Into the saucepan. The dressing" fhould be prepared before the meat Is put on the fire, and which ought to boll but once before the coral is put In. Stir In a heaping teaspoonful of butter, and when It bolls again It Is done, and should be taken up at once, as too much cooking toughens the meat. Baked Chowder. This chowder can be made from cold boiled fish and cold potatoes. Flake enough of the fish to make two cups and cut four large potatoes Into dice, Make two cups of white sauce, chop one onion fine and mince enough pars ley to measure one level teaspoon. Put these Into a buttered baking dish In layers. Put the sauce In first, then the fish, potatoes, onion, and, last, the pare ley and a seasoning of . salt and pep' per. Make at least two layers of each kind. Finish the top with sauce, sprln. . kle with fine bread crumbs and set In a S hot oven for about twenty minutes. i i . i , ; .... Snow Cake. l Cream one-fourth of a cupful of but ter, using a , wooden cake spoon, and add gradually, while beating constant ly, one cupful of sugar ; then add half a cupful of milk and one and one-half cupfuls of flour, mixed and sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, Beat thoroughly and add the whites of two eggs beaten until stiff, and half a teaspoonful of vanilla. Fill buttered and floured Individual tins two-thirds full of the mixture and bake In a mod erate oven twenty minutes. This recjpe makes eighteen Uttld cakes. , . Chill Con Carnl. Cut a round steak Into small pieces; put It Into a frying pan with a cup of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of rice and a tablespoonful of hot drip ping. Cover closely and simmer until tender. Remove the seeds and part of the rind from two large red peppers, ,' cover with a little water and' cook un. V . til tender, then squeeze 'out all the wa . ter. Add this, to the-cooked meat, and H the mixture needs thickening add a little flour. Season with salt and onion Juice and serve. ankmg by Mail WE PAY INTEREST On savings deposits of a dollar ' or more, compounded twice every year.

There was once a Yale sophomore who, as many college men do, found himself in financial straits and pawned all his good clothes. A little before Thanksgiving he got a big check from home. When he got home for the holidays the first thing his mother took out of the trunk was an overcoat and on it was pinned the pawnbroker's ticket he had forgotten to remove. Hastily grabbing the ticket, he said : "Hello 1 They must have forgotten to take this off at the Smith dance when I left it In the cloakroom." A moment later his mother took out his evening trousers. They also had a ticket on them. "Why, Reginald," she said, "surely you didn't leave these In the cloak room, too, did you?" Llpplncott's. riTA Bt.

Don't Poison Baby. pORTY YEAES AGO almost every mother thought her child must have 1 PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will, produco Bleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP PROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have heen killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotio product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or . to anybody without labelling ' them "poison." The definition of "narcotic "is: "A medicine which relieves pain, and produces sleep, hut which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convul sions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold Tinder the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. Yon should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

SKEN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu lation its presence i9 manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of the body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is lef : to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged withthe acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the Skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parta of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds ; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance. Acne makes its appearance on the lace in the form of pimples and black heads, while Psoriasis comes in scaly patches on differ ent parts of the body One of the worst forms of skin trouble i3 Salt Rheum; ijs favorite point of attack is the .scalp, sometimes causinsr baldness.

The humor producing the trouble lies dormant in the blood through the Winter to break out and torment the sufferer with the return of Spring. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and removes the humors so that the skin instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a supply of fresh, healthy blood. External applications of salves, washes, lotions, etc., while they soothe the itching caused by skin affections, can never cure the trouble because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of foreign matter and restores the blood to its normal, pure condition, thereby permanently curing every form of skin affection.
