CONVENIENT TRIFLES. Their I'offeRion Will Render Traveling More Agreeable. All who have tri! wrapping various articles in paper arid putting them in a traveling-b.-ij, am suns to become firm' believers in tlus doctrine of the "total depravity" of inanhna.be objects. De spite all endeavors to the contrary, the BABY'S WARDROBE. a r r '- -gny l;' no. 1 WAP CASK. paper will come off or tear at the most critical time. On any journey which will extend through an entire day or night, certain articles are indispensable for comfort, and they should lm carried in a pood substantial traveling-bay, which can le purchased for a small sum and will last for years. In it should le placed tow els, Boap, tooth-brush, comb and brush, and a pair of slippers; if for a nig-ht journey, a loose wrapper or dressing Back in addition. The soap supplied nt hotels and in the toilet-rooms of sleeping1 cars ia often not such as a person would wish to use, and even if it were, the thought of all who have used it before is very unpleasant. A simple soap-case (Fig. 1) can be crocheted out of white knitting-cotton; No. 10 is a g'ood size. It is worked in single crochet stitch with a medium-sized steel crochet needle. It is made in two pieces ease and a cover to fit over it. They are joined with a cord made by twisting several strands of the cotton tightly together. A piece of narrow linen tape ten inchea long is fastened to the center of the cover to be wrapped around the case and tied. When it is to be placed in the bag a chain about an inch and a half long is first made; this is worked round and round, widening for several rows. The case is about three inches long, an inch deep and the same wide. The cover la made in exactly the same manner, only the sides are worked a little more loosely, to admit of its slipping over. A piece of soap is cut to fit and put in the case. The material used to make 'this little case allows of its being washed when soiled, and the stitch used makes it bo thick that there is no danger of the damp 6oap soiling any other of the contents of the bag. Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate simple but con venient pockets for slippers and for FW. 2. FIG. 3. ombs. The material is heavy un bleached linen twill. The shoe pocket is ten inches long and six wide. On the front a design of a pair of shoes is worked in outline with brown linen rope floss. The flap is worked round the edge in button-hole stitch with the same floss. A brown ivory button on the pocket and a small cord and tassel on the flap provide the fastening. The comb-case is made of the same material, and when desired can be made large enough for the brush also. In tii at case a width of three inches and a length of eight will be found a good size. A case six inches long and one wide will hold a tooth brush nicely. Margaret Rider, in Country Gentleman. POINTS TO REMEMBER. That buttermilk will take out mil dew stains. That bottles are easily cleaned with hot water and fine coals. That a pallet knife should be used to scrape pots and kettles. That old napkins and old tablecloths make the very best of glasscloths. That zinc is best cleaned with hot soapy water, then polished with kero- sene. That it is well to keep large pieces of charcoal in damp corners and in dark places. That oilcloth can be kept bright for years if properly varnished each season with any good siccative. That if the hands are rubbed on a stick of celery after peeling onions the smell will be entirely removed. That if soap Is purchased in large quantities, and kept in a warm dry place, half the usual amount will be re quired. That tubs will not warp or crack open, if the precaution is taken to put a pail of water into each, directly after nse. Good Housekeeping. How to Cook Vegetables. From a new cook book by Mrs. Rorer, we take some ideas on the subject. Few things show the difference between comfortable and slovenly housekeeping more quickly than the dressing of vege tables. Potatoes, one of the most im portant vegetables . (served ii nearly every household once a.day), are rarely cooked in a wholesome or even palata ble manner; out of every ten plates that come to the table but one will be found perfect. All green vegetables should be freshly gathered, washed in cold water, and cooked in freshly boiled water until tender, not a moment longer. After water has boiled 'for a time it parte with its gases and be-; comes hard, and most vegetables' are fetter cooked in soft water. now to Trna the, little Total Comfortably i bcmI at Nnull'EipriiM. i Every mother tlouldv foci that mot' ' carn, is dim to her own physical healtil than to the preparation of babyrf ; wardrobe; so, while the litUo elo n bo dainty and beautiful, -it nMl not take all the mother's time to prepare it, either by hand or at the sewing ma-; chine. A great many are now favoring the use of knitted eotton bands, as very few skins can endure llannel next it. Tliee can I; knitted like a stocking, in ribs, ami should be a quarter of a yard deep. However, flannel over the bowels ia very necessary to a young child, so I I think they are quite as comfortable made of soft, Saxony wool and knit on coarse, steel needles. In the middle of 1 the front and back should be knit a ! firm, short strip to pin the diaper to. thus keeping loth in place. Some prefer to do without socks. If they are to Ik: left on after being wet I should say by all means have none; but with several pairs on hand there need be no neglect in this matter. These are best knit like a short stocking, and rRES8. they wear best of all. Some buy the short, cashmere hose; these are very nice and wear better than those that are crocheted. However, if you can do no better, crochet them or make a little bootee of chamois skin. Another very necessary article for a small baby is a pad made of two layers of cotton batting between some thin material old swiss or lawn, if you have it; cheese cloth if yon must buy new. This can be fastened to a band which is pinned around the waist. This serves to protect the flannels of the baby, and the dress of the person who is holding the baby. Of course this must be changed as frequently as the diaper. No careful mother will allow the mattress of her child's bed to ever get wet. lrotect it with a piece of rubber cloth; over this lay a blanket, then a sheet. To protect these, have several of these thin pads to lay under the child. These are more easily laundried' than all the beddm"- rf crib. "Never place, a heavy covering over a little baby. Everything for the bed should be light and warm. Soft blan kets, a soft comforter made of cheese cloth, never a heavy shawL Remem ber, ycu lay your child down with all its clothes on to sleep. If you cover it CLOJlK. heavily when you take it up it is in a profuse perspiration, as you yourself, would be under like circumstances. At such a time stop to think whether it is just the thing to carry the child to an open door or stand with it in a draft of air. Many ailmenta can be traced to just such carelessness. Dresses of soft wools, like the illus tration, can be used on cool or rainy; days, as upon rainy days the starch Is taken out of white goods and it loses' its freshness so soon. Long cloaks, If, of good material, can be utilized as a short cloak and dress when shorter clothes are needed. The best economy is to provide material that will work up' into other garments when the change is' necessary. Farm and Fireside. To Remove Stains from Linen. Salts of lemon and oxalic- acid are doubtless excellent for removing stains from linen, but they are such deadly poisons that one dislikes to think of their use even in the most careful of hands. , A little common salt sprinkled, on an ink spot, iron rust, or other stain! and then thoroughly wet with lemon j juice and exposed to the sun will do as, effective work as the poisons.

Mrs. h.h. Grimes, Perry Co., (). Sudden Deaths. Heart disease is by far the most frequent cause of sudden death, which in three out of four cases is unsuspected. The sj'tnptoms are not generally understood. These are: a habit of lying on the right side, short breath, pain or ditressin the side, back or shoulder. irregular pulse, asthma, weak and hungry spells, wind in stomach, swelling of ankles or dropsy, oppression, dry cough and smothering.
