THE BEDROOM.

How to Keep It In « Healthf.l Condi- tion.

Too often a bed is made up in a slip- shod manner without being thoroughly aired. This should never be allowed. The covering should first be stripped back over two chairs set at the foot of the bed. The mattress should then be doubled so that the air may get to all parts of it and left so for from half an In very severe winter weather the time may be lessened. Each piece of bedclothing should be well shaken before it is restored to its place, and the pillows beaten and patted into shape. The white spread, that should have been removed at bedtime the night before and neatly folded, is now fresh and smooth.

The bed is.not all that needs close pare in the sleeping room. The dusting is far more important than many people suspect. Accumulations of fluff and dust form a favorite nesting place for disease germs and unsavory smells. On this account many ornamerts are not to ve commended in a bedchamber.. The bits of drapery, the brackets, the gay Japanese fans, the photographs and the pieces of bric-a-brac that ave admirable in other parts of the house are out of place here. Whatever furniture there is should be carefully wiped off each day with a soft cloth, and this shaken out of the window afterward.

The receptacles for waste water should be washed out every day and scalded occasionally. In hot weather the scald- ing should take place every day and the utensils be sunned, if possible. Shoes and other articles of apparel should not be left lying about the room to gather dust and look untidy. Soiled clothes should never be left in the sleeping room. They contaminate the atmosphere.

Melt one- half tablespoonfal butter in the blazer, pear in the eggs, stir for afew minutes. When the eggs begin to set, add 4 ounces grated Swiss or American cheese, stir fora minute, then divide the mixtare equally over the biscuits. Lay 3 shrimps on each one and serve. How the Cold Affects the Sap In Trees.

Sap is a watery fluid found in the in- terior of the cells of plants and trees and contains dissolved or suspended in it the materials required for the life and growth of the cell. The idea that in Wixter the sap goes down into the roots and in spring rises again is quite er- roneous. Trees and plants are full of watery sap all the winter. The phenom- ena of freezing in the case of trees and plants are but little understood. The sap in leaves and in smaller branches is often frozen. This is seen especially in the case of twigs of hickory, which in very cole weather are as brittle as glass, though the same twigs at a higher tem- perature cannot by any possibility be broken with the hands. For various causes the water contained in the cells only begins to crystallize at some degrees below the ordinary freezing point. This 13 partly due to the chemical composi- tion of the sap, which contains various salts, starch, ete., in solution. Besides this the bark of trecs is a bad conductor of heat, and the interior temperature of trees and plants is generally higher in Winter and lower in summer than that of the surrounding atmosphere.

How to Obtain the Best Results With Chinese Lilies.

For quick blooming choose a dish maybe 6 inchesin depth and with,an open top. Having selected your dish, take your bulbs and place them on a layer of sand, pebbles or shells, then pack the shells well around the bulbs in sucha way that when the strong roots begin to push up from the bottom of the recep- tacle they will not push the bulb itself out of the water. This seems to me to be about the only thing to be looked out for. Water is the chief essential to strong growth, and this must be sup- plied frequently, even to bulbs water- grown, as they soon drink up what is placed in a shallow dish, and it is an easy matter every morning to fill the glasses. It is not necessary that the bulbs should be covered with water, but it is necessary that they should be about half submerged.

Bits of charcoal placed in the water will keep it sweet, anda little ammonia in the water will assist in nourishing the bulb.

How to Make Prune Jelly.

Wash the prunes thoroughly, cover with cold water and place on the back of the stove in a granite vessel or earth- en crock. Let them stand for several

hours, and, when swelled until large |

and plump, place them where they will simmer gently until tender. Drain off the juice, and, when cold enough, re- move the stones from the prunes. Put all together over the fire after measur- ing and allow half a box of gelatin and a small cupful of sugar for every quart of prunes and juice. The gelatin, of course, must be previously soaked for half an hour in a little cold water. A gill of orange juice or half a gill of lemon juice is an improvement, as is a gill of sherry, allowance for which must be made in measuring the liquid. Pour into a mold or molds and set on the ice over night. Eat with sweetened or whipped cream.

How to Make Good Lavender Salts.

NO 78.

I slept last night and dreamed, I woke and cried, For in my sleep it seemed Close by my side, Walked still and slow the old days that have

died. All ghostly slow they passed, All ghostly still; Of «ld, who fled so fast, With life a-thrill, With laughing lips and eyes, with eager will.

So, ghostlike, yet the same, Each dear dead day Softly I called her name And bade her stay. Softly she turned and smiled and went away. —Sophie Jewett in New York Tribune.

TO PROTECT WILLS.

A Connecticut Judgoe’s Plan For Carrying Out a Testator’s Wishes.

The only practical and simple scheme for the prevention of attacks on wills is that proposed by Judge John H. White of Hartford and defeated by the legislature of 1895. It provides that every person on making a will may deposit it with a legal officer, who shall give public notice that a will has been so offered, and that all who wish to attack the capacity of the testator shall have a certain time in which to offer evidence and bring the matter toa deci- sion. If no objection to the testator’s ca- pacity is made within the time specified, the will cannot be attacked on that ground after his death.

Yhe contents. of the will are not dis- closed eyen to its custodian. No one has any ground to attack it because he is left out er gets less than he thinks he should have. Evidently people will think twice about attacking the testamentary capacity of a man who is there to defend himseif, especi:lly when they ure uncertain how he has devised his property and may be bit- ing off their own noses. As Mr. Swiveller rouarked about the rooms at Bevis Markis,

“The contingent ad\untayes are cxtraor- dinary."’ Under this aw there would be no premium on will b. caking.

‘the } roposed law dves not require any one to deposit his will. Ili merely gives to every person an opportunity to make sure thet his intentions regarding his property shall be carricd out and a growing seandal diniinisnhed,

Another idea is that the legislature pass an act directing the judge in his charge to the jury, in cases of will contests, to in- struct thom as to the weight of evidence and the verdict that is demanded by the law. ‘These will cases present questions of Izew about which the judge knows more than the jury, and we can conceive of no more infamous practice than that of break- ins « will on technical points when the intent of the testator is clear, Something should be done to stop this continued and growing raid upon wills. —Hartford Times.

Sailors In the Small Boat.

It isa curions fact that few seamen can hare a small boat with facility. ‘This ap- plies chiclly to the crows of sailing craft, as the larve steamship corporations long ago reclized this failing among sailors and instituted a series of boat drills on their stenmships that have been productive of excellent results. Knowledge of the work- ings of sinall boats is a requisite that ev- ery scaman should possess, and young men intending to follovs the sea for a livelihood should acquire it before they tread the decks of a vessel, as they will have but lit- tle opportunity afterward.

The wise forethought of steamship cor- porations in having their crews drilled saved many lives at the wreck of the steamer Denmark, as something like 734 persons were transferred from her to the Missouri without a single accident in mid- ocean during a heavy swell. It follows, therefore, that those who seek focreation on the water would do well not to go in any boat unless it is in charge of an expe- rienced boatman and is amply supplied with life preservers. Boats ought to be ballasted with fresh water in small casks, instead of stones or iron, so that, in the event of being capsized, the ballast may help to keep them afloat. A young man who may have been only a very few ti:nes in a boat, under favorable circumstances, assumes he can manage one. He makes up a party, the wind freshens or a squall en- sues, he loses his head, a capsize takes place, the boat sinks, and the chances are that he and his companions will be drown ed. Those who go boat sailing ought to leave as little to chance as possible.—Har.- per’s Round Table.

Libations and Perfumes.

In the libations of the Greeks, Egyp- tians and others perfume was largely used. Herodotus mentions the incident of the 12 kings of Egypt who were offering sacrifice in the temple of Vulean. At the door of the temple, on the great altar, were laid bundles of sandalwood and cinnamon, Upon these the sacrificial boar was stretch- ed, the fire lighted, pastils cf incense throw: in and the smoke and ‘‘nidrous smelis’’ rose high to heaven. Then into the inner courts marched the royal proces- sion, preceded by incense burners, who bore golden salvers, and by the smaller altar the kings knelt in prayer. The priest, rising, sprinkled consecrated perfume over them and brought forth the golden beak- ers for libation. But the old man, a little muddle headed, counted 11 cups as 12, Psammetichus, who was left without, took off his brass helmet, and in that offered the perfumed winc to Vulcan, the fire god. Previous to this the oracle had declared that he who offered a libation ina cup of brass should be sole king of Egypt. Un- consciously Psammetichus had fulfilled the condition, and he was therewith pro- claimed king.—London Society.
