CARE OF GLOVES.

How to Treat Them So as to Preserve Their Usefulness.

In the first place, it may be pointed out that rough handling is especially disastrous to kid gloves, and it very often happens that a new pair are split and ruined by jerking them on m a careless fashion. Always put on a new pair of kid gloves for the first time long enough before they are to be worn to allow of due deliberation m the task. When a pair of fine gloves are bought, the purchaser should insist that they be fitted on m the shop; then if there are any flaws they will be detected be fore the gloves are paid for and taken away. Cheap gloves are generally risky in vestments, but some of the best shops keep a fairly good line of gloves at low prices which are worth buying for com mon wear. If strong and well made, they will serve for shopping and morn ing walks or for bad weather. In putting on a glove be careful to get each finger straight. Coax each one on by rubbing gently with the thumb and first finger until the fingers are down to the very ends. In taking the glove off turn the wrist over the fingers and take hold of the ends of the fingers through the wrist. It wears a glove out badly to pull it off by catching hold of the finger tips. Pull the glove into shape and lay aside carefully. Silk should be kept to match each shade, and gloves should be mend ed as soon as a break appears, for the old proverb, "A stitch m time saves nine," is especially appropriate to these articles of attire. Glove mending is delicate work, which requires both skill and dexterity, and when well done pays admirably for the pains taken. ♦Glove powder should form one of the adjuncts to every toilet table, and a pretty glove stretcher is another. Frenchwomen set a good example and have made quite an art of putting on gloves, and this iswhyaParisienne's gloves last her four times as long as any one else's. Buttoning gloves should never be done m a hurry. The wrist should be carefully and gently pulled straight and the buttons insinuated gently into the holes. Use a glove buttoner always. It ruins both the buttonholes and the finger tips to button them without After purchasing a new pair of gloves always sew the buttons on before wear ing them. The annoyance of having the buttons drop off will then be avoided.

How to Roast Loin of Mutton.

Rolled loin of mutton is a good joint and one that is easy to carve. Select a good lean loin, take off a little of the fat and remove the bones carefully with a sharp knife. See that none of the lean is taken off with the bones. Roll up tightly and tie the meat se curely together with a broad tape, skewering it also. Pour a good brown gravy over and serve. Half a loin of mutton treated m this way makes a good roast for a very small party.

How to Devil Meat.

Prepare a mixture as follows: Put two tablespoonfuls of thick brown sauce into a basin, add a dessertspoonful of chutney paste, a teaspoonful of anchovy sauce, a teaspoonful of Worcester sauce, a quarter of a teaspoonful of made mustard, six drops of lemon juice (or three drops of vinegar) and a dust of curry powder. Cixt some slices of any kind of cooked meat, and spread them evenly with the mixture, and put them into a cool place until the sauce has Eet, then lightly flour the prepared meat and dip into beaten egg and cover it thickly with bread crumbs, and after letting it stand for a short time fry it m clarified dripping.

CARE OF WOUNDS.

How Serious Results May Be Avoided by Proper Care.

In these days, when detergents, anti septics and cicatri?.ants are so abundant and are to be found m nearly every house, there ought to be no wounds due to violence which cannot be healed without the formation of pus. All wounds inflicted upon a person with no serious taint m hia or her blood should be healed by first intention. In other Words, the parts should unite at once, with but slight inflammation, with no formation of matter'or tendency to re main sore. The primary dressing of seemingly insignificant injuries and also of larger ones might be the means m a great many cases of preventing serious se quels, as septica?mia, or blood poisoning, which so often jeopardizes life, and when once well advanced is almost un controllable. I have treated a great many wounds, small and large, and I have never had pus or matter to form m the wounds, says Dr. W. H. Vail m St. Louis Post- Dispatch. This is my primary dressing m all wounds except sJmlds and burns: I wash carefully with warm water and an antiseptic, using about one table spoonful of the antiseptic to a pint of water. With absorbent cotton and this solution I cleanse the wound thoroughly from all extraneous matter. I place the torn parts m apposition, or stitch them if necessary. I then place a layer of cotton freely saturated with this lotion on the wound and bandage it there. This will insure protection from all ex ternal influences, as it forms a coating which hermetically seals the wound, no matter how large or small. At the same time it will prevent any of the poison ous material from passing into the blood and circulation, thus preventing systematic toxemia by destroying the poison at once and preserving the en vironing tissues and vessels. I employ the same dressing m bites of animals. In burns I simply put on a thick lay er of the gelatinous antiseptic and cov er it with absorbent cotton. I have found nothing to equal the results. If this primary precaution, which is a valuable means of assistance to both patient and physician, is given careful attention and rigorously adhered to, then many surgeons' bills will be avoid ed, much suffering prevented and many lives saved. People who know that their blood is out of order, who are pale and anaemic, having a deficiency of red corpuscles, should always give injuries careful at tention. If such persons receive a slight scratch or injury of any kind, they will notice that the wound will not keal readily.

How to Make Shrimp Fritters.

Make a batter of three well beaten eggs. Add to them a pinch of salt, quar ter of a cup of milk and one tablespoon ful of melted butter. Use one can of shrimps and chop them before stirring into the mixture with fine bread crumbs enough to make a stiff batter. Drop the mixture by the spoonful into boiling fat and fry to a light brown. Drain on paper and serve hot with Bechamel sauce poured around.

How to Avoid Colds.

Colds can be avoided by proper atten tion to bodily conditions. The lungs are highly susceptible to all variations of the atmosphere, and hence we breathe the germs of disease unconsciously. Air should be inhaled through the nose in stead of the mouth. In walking we should breathe slowly, allowing the oxygen of the air as much time to es cape as to enter the system. Then we should do everything possible to strengthen the lungs. Calisthenics is an important aid m this direction. We should practice from a half to three quarters of an hour daily. Always be careful not to exercise too violently. The grip is nothing more than a cold m an advanced stage.

How to Bake Cauliflower.

Boil tender, but not until it breaks. Split down the middle with a sharp knife. Lay the cut sides downward m a baking dish. Pour over and about it a large cupful of drawn butter, sift fine crumbs on top and set m the oven un til it begins to brown. Serve m a bak ing dish. Pass vinegar or cut lemon with it.

How to Make English Stew.

This is an excellent preparation of cold meat, which is first cut m slices and then sprinkled with pepper, salt and flour. Lay them m a dish and on them place a few pickles of any kind or a email quantity of pickled cabbage. Take a teacup half full of water. Add to it a small quantity of the pickle vine gar or a small quantity of catchup and any gravy that may be set by for usa Stir all together and pour it over the meat and set it in' the oven for about half an hour and serve hot.

How to Preserve the Teeth.

Take one pound of stale bread, parch until black and ready to crumble, then place into a mortar or wooden bowl and pound to a powder. When thoroughly pulverized it is ready for use. Keep m a dry box and apply to the teeth with a wet brush. This prevents decay and leaves the teeth pearly and white.

How to Broil Halibut.

Slices of halibut, salt, pepper, butter. Cut the slices of fish about an inch thick, season with pepper and salt and lay them m melted butter one-half hour, allowing three tablespoonfuls ef butter to a pound of fish; then roll them m flour and bo£l about 30 minutea Serve very hot.

How to Remove Freckles.
