HOW TO BOARD A CAR.

It Is Not Difficult to Learn the Art of Geb ting On and Off.

More accidents are attributable to the ignprance of people jn not -knowing how $o get on and off a street car than to any Ithfrcause, A motprmah sajs that fa o this with perfect safe .7 and ease is lot difficult to learn if ojply fiji. tie at tention is bestowed upon it. Tbeladiet are particularly careless in getting on and bff street cajrs t and it js \o them jhore than the gentlemen that he com mends the following suggestions. The perfect ease and grace with which some people board electric and cable cars while in motion can be seen every day. They simply carry out the rules appended: When yon wish to take a car, stand on the right hand side of the street, on , the far crossing, in the direction the car you wish to take is going. Look toward the gripman or motorpaan of the ap proaching car, raise your hand with a slight inclination; the signal will be un derstood and the car stopped. Before ■ attempting to get on, transfer anything you may be carrying to the left hand or ' arm, stand close to the car, grasp the . hand rail with the right hand, step' on '■ the lower step with the left foot, give a light spring with the right foot,; land you will find yourself safely and speedily aboard. I As yon approach the corner where yon wish to alight, signal the conductor, move toward the rear of the car, holding tight to the platform or side of door, so that you will not feel the sudden jerk made in stopping; step on the lower step; face the way the car is going; hold on to the hand rail with left hand; step- Sing off, alight' on the right foot, ben-t ---ig the knee slightly; bring the left foot in front of the right, and you will find that yon have acquired an accomplish-] ment that will be useful to yon. Never ' get off backward or straight out from the car.

How to Make Rice Merngue.

Wash a cup of rice and put it over fire lin a quart of waterj boil 90 minutes, drain in a colander, Then add to it 1 pint of milk and 8 tablespoonfulsof but* ter. Beat together the yolks of 0 eggs and 2 cups of sugar. Then add these to rioe and add grated yellow rind of a lemon and juice of two. Mix and turn in to a baking dish.' Bake 20 minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs until light, not dry; add 6 tablespoon* uls of powdered sugar and beat for 10 minutes. Put this over the hot pudding, dust thickly with powdered sugar and brown in a quick oven for a moment. Serve ice cold. Nice to make Saturday to use Sunday.

How to Care For the Shoes.

How If you would have your shoes retain their pristine freshness longer than a week, do not treat them with polishes and dressings, each one of which claim to be the^best and least injurious. As soon as you come in from a walk dust them carefully with a soft flannel kept for that purpose. Let them air, as you do your underclothes, and when they are dry stuff them with soft tissue paper. Button or lace them over this. In this way they will keep their shape for a long time. When they are so worn that they must be brightened, rub them with a flannel cloth and a little vaseline. Apply the grease carefully, not merely smear ing it over the surface of the leather, but rubbing it in. When it is completely absorbed, rub briskly with fresh flannel. Do not wear your walking boots in the house, and do not walk in your slippers. l£eep a pair of shoes suitable for each occasion. In this way, though you may seem $o have an extravagant supply, you will be really displaying an economical spirit. Shoes worn indoors and out not only soon lose their brightness and neat ness, but last only about one-third as long as if they were occasionally relieved,

How to Make Fort Wine Sauce.

Put ixito a clean saucepan 6 raw yolki of eggs and beat them with itablespoon fulsof caster sugar until they become thick and white. Add a pint of port Wine and stir unceasingly on a gentle fire until nearly boiling; then take it from the fire and pour it on the pudding im mediately, or it will be spoiled. The pud ding should be dished and kept hot while the sauce is being made.

How to Make a Pastry Bag.

One-third of a yard of yard wide rub ber sheeting will make three bags a foot square. Fold two opposite corners to* gether, stitch along the edge and makes triangular bag. Out off at the point to xnake an opening large enough to insert the end of a tin tube. It is convenient to have three bags, with openings of dif ferent sizes—one for eclairs, one for lady fingers and one for frosting, The tube for eclairs is three-quarters of an inch wide at the small cad, that for lady fingers three-eighths of an inch and the frosting tubes of various sizes, some of them quite Bmall. Fit the tubt, into the opening and fill the bag with the mixture. Draw the edges together and twist the top tightly to keep out the air. Hold the bag in the left hand, with the tube close to the place where the mixture is to be spread; press with the right hand and guide the mixture into any shape desired. A slight pressure is aufflcient. When no longer needed, wash the bag in cold water—never in hot—and dry carefully.

How to Bleach Cotton Goods.

For every 5 pounds of goods dissolve 12 ounces of chloride of lime in a little boiling water. Leave till cold; then strain off the liquid and add enough warm water to immerse the cloth. Be fore using this boil the goods in suds, Wring out, rinse and put in the solution for 10 or 15 minutes, stirring often. Then rinse again and hang out to dry.
