How Will he Dispose of it? it is an undisputed fact that the United States stands face to face with one of the most important problems that has ever been presented to it for solution. 5 is an open question wheth- er the Philippines will or will not prove an elephant on our hands. It seems, how-ver, that not much choice has been left in the matter, and that we are practically obliged to take the Philippines under our protection. Our illustration, taken from a full- page cartoon in the current issue of Harper’s Weekly, gives a comprehen- sive idea of the situation as \V. A. Rog- ers, the well-known artist, understands it. The cartoons inspired by the late war and its results have contained a great deal of true and valuable history, ‘and convey the essential points of the political situation as accurately and in much less space than the untold mass of printed matter that has filled the columns of our newspapers and maga- zines during 1598. The cartoon is of ‘ criceptional merit, and all it tries to do is to give a plain statement of the case. —»—<to<3>o;> - 7. There is a Class of People Who are injured by the Use of coffee.

Next to having a clean range and a I good fire it is most important that all pots, pans, saucepans. and other cook- ing uteusus. should be scrupulously It important that the clean. is ‘mistress of‘the house should know something of scullery work, for un- trained servants never seem to have -any idea of the proper methods of cleaning. even when they can cook a little. I cannot but think that a few practi— cal directions may prove useful to my readers, so I shall here give some notes on the subject. Whether in scullery work or cookery the first thing to do- is to collect all the utensils and ingredients that may he required. It is most annoying to have to step in the midst of making a cake, for instance, when one‘s hands re floury, in order to go and search for making powder, perhaps finding the supply run short, and then waiting while a messenger is despatched for it to that little store around the cor- ier, thus losing time and patience. To clean an iron saucepan a pail of not water, soda, flannel, and sand are required. If there be any soot adher- ing to the exterior scrape it off with in old knife, then put the sauce-pan 111'- .o the water, soap the flannel, sprinkle a. little fine sand on it, and wash the .ztensil' both inside and out, removmg all grease and remnants of food; rinse in clean, cold water, and dry thorough- ly with a dry dishcloth, as if put away lamp the saucepan will rust. The out- side, but not the handle, may be black- .eaded, putting on the blacklead with 1. small brush, rubbing it in with a sec- Dnd, and polishing with a. third. The saucepan may now be dusted inside. ind placed upside down on the pot~ board, so that the air but no dust may enter. Some people when they desire to clean a saucepan put it on the fire to Doll with soda and water, but this is unwise, as the bottom is liable to burn it any vegetable, &c., has adhered to it. To clean the lid, first wash it in a similar manner to the saucepan with soap, soda, and a little sand, then apply whitening mixed with water to the :onsistency of cream; the tin, then polish off, taking out the whitening from. the crevices with a wooden. skewer if necessary. Tin saucepans are cleaned in the same manner as the lids, namely, first washed and dried, and then brightened with whitening. The Cyclist's Saddle. The beginner almost always com— plains of her saddle—sometimes be- cause it is not adjusted properly, but more frequently because she does nor sit right. She uses it as she would a chair, upon which she places her whole weight, and then complains be cause the vibration of the machine. jolts. The principal difiiculty lies in the fact that she does not depe id enough on her pedals; she should car- ry her weight very largely on them, and not hang upon the saddle. If she does this, and gets the right adjust- ment, all discomfort will be removed, and she can suit her fancy as to style and size, the latter point being the most important, as the majority of riders suffer from using a saddle much too narrow at the back. A wide back is essential for all but very small rid- ers. Bramiied Quinccs. Peel two pounds of small ripe quinces. Put them into a clean pan. with just enough water to cover them. Boil gently 1151f an hour, and then drain off the water—but do not throw it away, and leave them till cold. Put half a pound of loaf sugar into a saucepan with half a pint of the wa- ter the quinces were cooked in. Boil quickly for five minutes, then put in the fruit again and boil fifteen min- utes. . Take out the fruit, drain it \\ ell, and put them in clean, dry jars. Boil the syrup till it is as thick as cream. Strain it into a basin and leave till cold. Mix it with an equal quantity of brandy. ‘ Pour this syrup over the quinces. Cover and tie down the jars tightly. Fur Trimming for House Gown. Chinchilla in narrow bands finishes the bottom and 'outlines panels of’ handsome reception and evening gowns, and with excellent effect, though some people object always to fur on house gowns. Nothing, how- ever, is more charming than chinchilla. Ermine is beautiful with some shades of dark green. A little of it adds a richness that nothing else can give, and there is a shade of yellow with green tints in the ermine which makes it blend admirably with the green. Sable plays an important. part in mil- linery and gowns, and particularly wraps. The baby Persian lamb is to be found as an effective trimming on the bodices of many gowns. It is effective in giv- ing character to a gown of one of the pretty shades of brown. Elaborate Underwear. Whole columns could be written on the subject of lingerie, so elaborate and extensive is the display. The night- robes are especially pretty, made from the finest of white cambric, while some of the handiwork employed on these dainty articles of femininity is certain- ly wonderful. One pretty robe or fine white cam- bric, is made with a small square yoke over which are laid three overlapping ruffles of the cambric, edged with the daintiest of white lace. The sleeves, gathered on the inside seam, have full mules of lace at the wrlat. let this dry on \ ‘fi //,3 7’ ///7 G" ON HIS HANDS. HOW WILL HE AFTER A CARTOON BY W. A. Romans.

A pretty tea or homejacket, made of ’ brocaded si k, has the loose, full front _ of plain cream colored silk, which is cut square in the neck and turned in to form a frill, above four rows of puffings. The shoulders are outlined with a shaped collar, which forms a point on either side of back, and is of plain silk. , covered with guimpure lace,’the outer edge being finished frill, carried down either side of the front in cascade effect. rl‘he sleeves are quite full, gathered in at the wrist and finished with a frill. Ice l‘or Preserving I-‘lowers. Ice is now used quite freely for the preservation of flowers, either for ship- ping or for keeping into or through'the winter, and flowers so preset ved cannot be distinguished, even by an expert, from fresh gathered blooms. In special instances a freezing mix- ture is formed by combining salt and ice, and this answers even better than the pure ice. A general adoption of ‘this plan accounts for the increase in recent years of beautiful cut flowers in winter, audit has also brought the price down to within the reach of pen: ple who never thought of buying flow- ers out of season before. There are many other ways of pre- serving flowers for a. few weeks, or even months, but the ice plan holds good for . an indefinite period, and never seems to fail.
