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.

add gradually, while beating constant

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

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

tender. Remove the seeds and part of
the rind from two large red peppers,

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.

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

your physician know of what it is composed. C ASTORIA DOES NOT CON

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. Poison Oak

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. Book on Skin Diseases and any medical advice desired sent free
to all who write. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.
