To
Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our afrent at Delhi, X. Y.
Gladstone &. Paine were agents for
; we mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was painting
his bijr colonial house. Said it took 1
gallons of white for the trim.
We sent Mm ten gallons and said: if
you get it ail on, no pay: if you have
any left, return it and pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took
the agency. Four or five years ago.
He knows now that his old paint
was and is adulterated; that's why it
took ten gallons to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one
name to go by: Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,

1 he Fern Dish.
A sensible, handy substitute for thu
ordinary fern dish ran ho made by
using any jii'oily howl or ve'-talV
dish, ;;i'l lining it. with a basket made
of loosely woven wire. Lin-; this with
moss, fill it with rich earlh and plant,
ivy or fern. Any trailing plant is bet
ter in the center of the table that it
may not obstruct tin; view. The wi:o
basket may be lifted out for watering,
sunning, etc., with no danger of break
ing or soiling the dish.
For Sandwiches.
This is the season of sandwiches;
when we take lunches to the park, or
serve tea on tin.' back porch. Meaty
sandwiches seem too heavy, yet we
like the filling moderately substantial.
The following is a happy compromise:
t'so any left-over meat (boilei or
roasted), add r.n eqmil quantity of
crushed bread crumbs, and season
highly with paprika" and eep-ry
seed. Or. better still, buy ono-hai"
pound Hamburger steak, and boil it a
few minutes with water to bar--:y cov
er and one chopped green '-. r. .Mix
this with bread crumbs and .' ;u
thinly buttered bread.
The Value of Sa't Perk.
The cheaper curs of beef are much
improved by the addition of a little
salt pork. Chopped up with the ham
burger steak it affords the necessary
grease, and it is also an improvement
to roast, laid on the top and used for
tasting. Fry it in the pot before the
pot roast is added; it will brown the
gravy, as well as enrich it. Salt pork,
sliced very thin, rolled in egg and
dipped in bread crumbs, may be fried
for breakfast and the family won't
know it from the best brand of bacon.

made a slow game. Batteries for
