Then they are not so liable to be knocked over by careless hands. When cleaning the bars of a new or rough stove, it they are first rubbed over with a cloth dipped in vinegar and water the b.acklead will be found to adhere, and a brilliant polish will i be the result. The bars of a grate often have a burned appearance, which prevents their taking a good polish. This diffi culty is soon overcome. Before apply ing the black lead rub the bars with a piece of lemon and they will be quite easy to polish well afterward. Bacon rinds can be utilized many ways, so do not throw them in the gar bage barrel. Wash them thoroughly and put them in a jar for future use. Tney make an excellent seasoning lor greens and come soups and they are often used to give a finishing touch to baked and fricasseed chicken Fancy Waict.

The waist is made over a fitted lin ing which is faced to form the yoke and on which the full front and backs and the circular folds, which give u bertha effect, are arranged.

The leading furriers there are mixing guipure in whit bands alternating with fur, and one of tho newest models is a skirt con, posed of flounces of sable alternating with bands of Irish guipure-. This is a beautiful creation for carriage wear, but too heavy for any other occasion. There is a delicious blouse of lace, the full slpeves held in with bands of fur just above the elbow, and again by a deep cuff of the same. A lace pelerine, with a deep border of fur, completes the costume, which is des tined for a marriage trousseau. Save all lemon rind, dry it in the oven, grate and store in an air tight tin. A little of this added to an apple pic gives a delicious flavor. Make tea for an invalid with boil ing milk instead of boiling water. It is much nicer and much more digesti ble if the milk really boils. To remove ta.- from any dress mate rials, cover the space with a little but ter: let it stand awhile, then sponge off with warm water and soap. To clean black lace, first wash in weak tea. rinsing afterwards in a sec ond lot. Then wring out. lay betweeu two pieces of black material, and iron with a moderately hot f.atlron till dry. Before frying onions for steak, etc.. parboil them first, and they will not curl up. but fry a golden brown, in stead of the indigestible black shriv eled chips one so often sees. If you find a difficulty in threading your needle, try holding if in front of a piece of white paper. This shows up the eye. and the needle is much easier to thread. Novelties in Dress. Tlxe shower-proof or rain veil is a novelty worth considering. It is said to be not only pretty and becoming, but to afford a practical protection fbr the hat over which it is thrown. Everything is rain proofed nowa days. even gloves. Chemical treat ment lias been found to render kid im pervious to rain without impairing its softness and pliability. High boots are coming in. and cor tainiy afford good protection from the elements. The popular height is ten inches ami the shoes come in both black and tan ralfskin. The variety of umbrella handles is constantly increasing, and there is no end to the new and pretty novelties. One attracting unusual attention is in the form of a unique little powuer box with a mirror in the top. Coats and Wraps. There are coats of all styles and lengths for day wear. Some are sack shaped and trimmed with woolen lace and quaint buttons, while others are tight-fitting with long basques, large velvet rovers and cuffs. For evening wear a beautiful model is made in black velvet lined with chinchilla and adorned with a collar of rare old lace. In a different style are some little taffeta coats fi r theaters. These do duty charmingly when accompanied by a plumed picture hat of lace and tulle or a flowered toque of smaller proportions. Feeling Hungry. The sensation of hunger has not been easy to explain. The new theory of a German physician is that it is due to emptiness of the blood vessels of the st»marh and it is pointed out that hunger is appeased with the rush of blood to the stomach, following the taking of food and beginning of diges tion. Tn many anaemic persons, who have no appetite when the stomach is empty, the blood vessels of the stom ach are really congested instead of being empty, l.ack of blood in the stomach in health acts on a special nerve, which is a branch of the same nerve trunk as the nerves of the mouth and tongue. A stimulus ap plied to the tongue, as by a spice, thus increases appetite, while disease af fecting the nerves of the tongue may produce loss of appetite even when the stomach is empty. Fancy Yoke Nightgown. Dainty underwear is always In de mand and nightgowns made with liaif low necks and short sleeves are much worn. This one allows of vari ous combinations, but is shown with a yoke of lace and foundation ma terial oi nne nain sook.

According to an article in the Cincinnati Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone was recently found in that citv secreted in a bale of hay of eighty pounds. This is not as bad as finding a lump of lead of nearly one-half the weight of the solid gold watch case secreted in the cen ter of the ease. Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and no oue can see where ‘.his lead is se creted until the springs of the ease are taken out and the lead will be found se creted behind them. These cases are made by companies who profess to be honest but furnish the means to the dishonest to rob the public, it is not pleasant for auyone to find tlmt he has lugged a lump of lead in his watch case. Another trick the makers of spurious solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case “l". S. Assay.” The United States does not stamp any article made out of gold and silver except coin, ami the fakir, by using this stamp, wants to make the public believe that the government had something to do with the stamping or guaranteeing the fineness of watch eases. Another trick of the watch fakir is to advertise a watch described as a solid gold tilled watch with a twenty or twenty-live year guarantee. Tnese watches are* gen erally sent C. O. D., and if the purchaser has paid for the watch he finds that the Company which guaranteed the watch to , wear is not in existence. The Dueber Hampden Watch Company of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex posing these frauds, will furnish the names of the manufacturers who are iu this questionable business.
