X I KITCHEN HELPS. Dear Editor I send an article for publication in the Household depart ment. Cover your kitchen shelves with clean papers and change them fre quently. The kitchen table should be covered with line or tin. It Is easy to clean, wears for years and Is not in jured by setting hot kettles or cutting bread on it. It costs more than oil cloth but Is so much better In every way that It to more economical. USE FOR LARD CANS. The empty lard cans that sell at the store from 15 to 20 cents may be used for meal and graham or buckwheat flour. They are nice for keeping bread and cake in and as they have closely fitting lids their contents are kept clean. An earthen jar with a cover !a good to keep salt in. Tin canisters should be used for tea and coffee. WASHING MILK VESSELS. If you have a number of tin cans or other milk vessels to wash, rinse them with cold water first to remove the particles of milk that adhere to them, then wash them In hot water contain ing enough pearline to make a good suds. It thoroughly cleanses and sweetens them without Injuring the tin as lye or salsoda are sure to do Wipe them dry and keep them on a shelf where there is no dampness to cause them to rust. PLAN TO SAVE STEPS. When you have kettles In which oat neal or other cereals have been cooked, it is not necessary to All them full of water to soak. Wet the Inside of the kettle with water and turn it upside town on the table until you are ready to wash it. This plan saves carrying the water to fill it and having to throw it out again. Have a place for every thing and have everything in its place, an old rule, but a good and a strict adherance to it will save a great mauy steps. E. J. C. (Tour useful hints and suggestions are very welcome. Come again. Ed.) TO SEASON SAUSAGE. The farmer's wife is always puz iled in butchering time to know just how much seasoning to put In sausage. and pepper and one teaspoonful of tags to each gallon of meat makes 11 just right for us. If the weather is warm after butchering, the sausage may be kept fresh longer If pressed down tightly in crocks and jars and the top covered with fresh lard. This excludes the air and prevents the sau sage getting strong for several weeks. TO CAN SAUSAGE. After the meat is ground and sea soned fry the cakes and pack in tin cans and run over lard. Some seal the can afterward, but I never have any trouble In keeping it, as above. I think the trouble was they did not cook It thoroughly. We have sliced fresh hams and beef and kept theta in the same way, when too late in the spring to cure. Sausage in this way is per fection and a luxury in July and Au-gust.-M. J. M. CREAM COOKIES. These cookies are very crisp and delicate. 1 cup of sour cream. 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls of butter or lard. teaspoonful soda, flour to roll out Bake In quick oven. L. B. HOME MADE TAFFY-. One cupful of syrup we use corn syrup 1 cupful sugar, one teaspoonful butter, a pinch of soda. Let It cook until it hardens in cold water, then pour Into a buttered platter and place where It will cool quickly, stirring as it cools. When cold pull till white, then cut In squares with the shears, t will be found fine. Mary. TO SMOKE HAMS. Smoke a barrel In which tbe hams are to be qickled by inverting It over a kettle containing a slow fire of hard wood for eight days, keeping water on the bead to prevent shrinking. In this barrel pack the hams and pour over them after it has cooled a brine maae In the proportion of 4 gallons of water, I pounds of salt, i pints 'of molasses and 4 ounces of saltpeter, boiled and skimmed in the usual manner. In ten days they will be cured nicely and may be kepi in tins picxte lor a. year of. se sired. A. B. A. HEAD CHEESE. I will send you my way of making head cheese and mince meat. I like the home made mince meat so much better than the condensed. Split the head in two down the face, remove akin, ears, eyes and brain. Cut off the snout. Wash aad put in cold salt water for twelve hours, change the water aad soak twelve hours longer.

Dear Bisters Sweeping carpets on the floor and not taking them up so often is best. Yo say it tires you to sweep? Having learned a new method from a friend, I will tell you her way. It saves strength and keeps dust out of the lungs. Se sweeps her bedroom carpet once a week this way, and Jt looks like a new one, is bright, clean and sweet smelling. Fill a pall nearly full of warm water, dissolve two heap ing spoonfuls of pearline in it, stir, and dip your broom in It; have the broom perfectly clean and sweep one width at a time until it seems per fectly clean. It freshens the colors and they look new and the carpet will not fade a particle. All the dust is taken out and the next time you sweep there will be very Utile dust. If the broom looks black throw the water out and prepare fresh exactly as the first. This way of sweeping does away with the necessity of taking up your carpets la the spring. S. H. H. PROTECTING APPLES. Spraying is expensive and Its ben efits have never been proven. I am convinced of the advantage of tbe method of catching the parent insect by means of what Is called the Ha zeltine moth catcher. It is superior to the old method of spraying by use of poisons, I tried this method last sea son and It destroyed thousands of the parent moths which lay eggs to pro duce the worms which destroy our ap ples and I am well satisfied with the results of my experience. My apple crop this year where I had used the Hazeltine Moth Catcher was very su perior to the crop my neighbor had In the adjoining orchard which was sprayed twice. Where the moth catch ers are In use, I would recommend two to the acre in bearing orchards, and the expense Is very little compared with the old method of spraying and the advantage over the old method of spraying is very apparent and I take this means of telling practical horti culturist through the columns of your valuable paper the results of my ex perience with pests. W. Lonegau, Florence, Neb. TO PREVENT ODOR FROM LAMPS To prevent a lamp from smelling of fensively and from leaking, over, trim the wick and clean the burner thor oughly each day. Do not have the reservoir quite full. Always turn down the wick into the wick tube before blowing out. After tbe lamp Is trim med in the morning, turn the wick well down Into the tube. Wash the burners in soap and water once a week. The offensive odor comes from the charred wick which remain in the burners and the leakage comes from having the lamp loo full or from having the wick come to the top of the tube. If these directions are followed with all kinds of lamps there need be no trouble as to odor or leakage. I duplex lamps, with extinguishers, open the extin guisher after putting out the lamp. . This Is the best practical method we know of where only ordinary means are' available. Cu t into four or six parts a moderately sized loaf of bread that is two days old It must neither be new or stale. With one of these pieces after having blow off all the dust from the paper to be cleaned with a good pair of 'bellows. ' begins at the top of the room, holding the crust in the hand and wisping lightly down ward with the crumb, and half a yard at each stroke, till the upper part of the hangings are completely cleaned all around. Then go around again with light sweeping strokes downward and always commencing each successive course a little higher than the upper stroke had extended, until the bottom is finished.

Winter brides cling to yellow and White eryssnthemumf , ' as ' summer brides always decide on rosea, for their wedding decoration. The crys aatbemum are showy and decorative and give the occasion an air of snowy elegance. Clusters of crysantbemums now mark off the pews for the rela tive at the church, instead of the time-honored white ribbons. -' At on pretty home wedding the wed 'diag ring was placed la the heart of a .aalla Illy, and we carried In by a three rear ad ring bearer. When children carry the ring It Is best to tie It with tiny white ribbon and pin it by a small loop to the cushion or flower, as little hands grow nerious and may drop it. A pretty background Is secured by covering the surface of a pir-gla with strands of line smilax dotted with, pink roses, making a curtain. A new Idea In staircase decoration Is a series of green wreaths outside the balustrade with white satin bows and loops in a green and white gar-" land. An immense cornucopia fastened high up and filled wilh loose crysan themums or roses makes a pretty cor' ner decoration for a wedding party re ception. When floor space Is limited a beau tiful decorative effect may be scurei by French baskets tied with pink or white ribbons, filled with flowers of corresponding colors, and hung in the doorways and arches, and flat wall pockets filled wth flowers suspended fiom the frieze of the rooms. Orchids and lillies of the valley are the most popular flowers for the bride's bouquet, which is smaller than that of last year, the shower bouquet baing entirely out. .Most brides prefer car rying a white kid or satin-bound prayer book instead of a bouquet. At the wedding supper a weddlr.g bell of Ice cream lst brought In on a salver for the bride' to cut, or small wedding-bells and brides' roses ate served at the bride's table. Ices served, from hats and baskets of spun sugar Is a popular style for weddings. A matron of honor gives dignity to a bridal procession, and Is very pop ular, and married friends of the groom serve us ushers. The Capitol is Moving. A series or scientific experiments, made In the capltol In Washington for the purpose of showing the physical properties of the pendulum, have brought out some queer facts in regard to the actual movement of the capitol ItsclC. The big dome moves about six Inches daily in an elliptical track. This movement Is due to the influ ence of heat and cold, producing ex pansion and contraction. A wire bong from the top of the dome to the floor below and on the end of it was a spe cially prepared plumb-bob with a lead, pencil Inserted In lis lowest point. Th point of the pencil Just touched the floor on which there was a paper. The .

The, dome starts moving . la , the . morning Just as son as the sun's rays strike It, and the pencil draws Its cur ved track until sundown, when a reac tion takes place,, and It moves back to Us starting place, but not over the same track, for the cool air of the night makes the dome contract, so that the pencil draws the other half of the ellipse. The Washington Monument, like the Capitol, is Influenced to move daily by the heat from the sun. Guveiii ment engineers at Washington have rigged up a permanent device Ihie to show just how much It my Ue out of plumb at any time. The Statute of Liberty, In New York Harbor, literally waves a welcome an't farewell to the vessels that ply up aiiit down the bay, the tall office buildiuKW bend their heads and the lirooklyu Bridge rises and falls every day. hav ing s special devlve to eo,nlMansjte its motion.
