Household Vegetable Tips. Between onions and the cabbage tribe there is a strong competition for the premier place in cooking odors ! Both can be easily disquali- fied. A tin saucer full of vinegar placed on the range and allowed to boil does away with all onion smell, and cabbages will give off no odor if you place a crust of bread on them while they are boiling. Two or three small pieces of charcoal have the same effect. Green food is a necessity to health, and if those people whom cabbages "upset" tried the effect of having two waters for boiling cabbage making the change at half time or later they would al- ways be cabbagariang. It is the "oil" which upsets them, and this would b poured off with the first water. So few people seem to 'know this. Salads need not banish the onion because at unpleasant after effects. It ia extraordinarily good for the Wood ; and a cup of strong coffee will banish taste and smell. Vegetables should always be kept on a tone floor. When their turn arrives for the saucepan, if you place & small piece of dripping o.i the top, in the middle, thera will b no "boiling over." An excel lent hint, this. Turnips and carrots should al- ways be cut across the fibre for oookiug. It greatly adds to their tenderness. It is a real tribulation to some people to have to peel onions. Peel them under water, and that trou- ble is over. Potatoes of unequal size should not be boiled together, but if they must, then give the large ones a few minutes' start, and pop the small ones in later. A wilted, flabby lettuce is not worth eating. But if you get a deep earthenware dish, cover the bottom with water, put the lettuce* in, and cover them with a piece of wet muslin, they will retain their rispne*s perfectly. Artichokes are not favorites, and a they are so often served black instead of white, that may account for it. The addition of a little vine- gar to the cooking water will keep them quite white. The advent of the broad bean is of interest to those with warts. The inside of the shells rubbed on warts will, in a very few applications, re- move them. It is a great mistake to shell peas long before they are going to be cooked. "Out of the shell and into the pot" is the correct meth- od. Peas which are too "sugary" can he made less so if a teaspoon- ful of vinegar be added to the wa- ter three minutes before straining. Onions share with milk the qual- ity of absorbing poisons and infec- tious smells. Never eat a stale onion, therefore. In sick-rooms an onion cut in pieces will absorb much of the infection. It should be renewed each day, aud the old pieces burnt. Selected Recipes. Corn-Cake for Afternoon Tea, Into a piece of bread or biscuit- dough the size of an orange, knead and roll one cupful of granulated yellow meal, a ta-blespoonful of sugar, and a little, salt. Roll very thin, and, bake on tin sheets until very well done. Cut in strips. Sweet Potatoes. Butter a bak- ing dish well; cut sweet potatoes into sl'ces or cubes and put them into the dish in layers, sprinkled slightly with brown sugar, and al- ternated with layers of sliced ap plus. When the dish is full, put butter, pepper, and salt on top, ml add enough water to keep the contents from burning. Bake in a moderate oven. Cannelon of Beef. Mix one and one-half pounds of beef from the round, that has been put through the luevat-chopper, one-half cupful of bread-crumbs soaked in two table spoonfuls of milk, two tea- spoonfuls of poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to taste, and one egg slightly beaten. Make the mass into a roll, and bake in a hot oven, in a dry pan. Baste with one cup- ful of hot water into which you have put a small piece of butter. Kn lire Wheat Fingers.-TMix one- half pint of boiling milk, a salt- spoonful of salt, one-half cupful of chopped blanched walnuts, one tablespoonful of chopped mixed candied peels, and a piece of but- ter half the size of a hen's egg. Stir in as much whole wheat flour as the milk will take up, and keep stirring till the mixture leaves the side* of the pan. Put the mixture on a floured broad-board and roll it out quarter of an inch thick. Lot it stand until cold, cut the dough in- to fingers, re,ll them in cracker- orumhs, fry in hot buttfr, sift pow- dered sugbr and cinnamon over them, acd send them to the table Lord Northellfle. The foremost newspaper proprietor in the 'world. Marshniallow Gingerbread. Cream one ; half cupful of sugar with one-half cupful of butter. Add one-half cupful of molaases and one- half cupful of hot water, in which there is one teaspoonful of soda. Beat the mixture thoroughly, and add one beaten egg and one- half teaspoonful of ginger. Con- tinue stirring, and add one and one-halfycupfuls of flour. Bake in a shallow pan. The gingerbread should not be over one inch thick. Remove it from the pan and cut it across the centre. Put one-half back into the pan and cover with marshmallows. 'Return it to the oven and leave it until the marsh- mallows puff up and become soft. Remove and cover with the other half of the gingerbread. Press down. Serve warm. Household Hints. Berry juice is a delicious addition to the glass of lemonade. A little ochre added to the rins- ing water will help to preserve the tone of the ecru lace. An excellent way of cleaning a steel pen is to stick it a few times into a piece of raw potato. Unless one wishes for some spe- cial purpose to draw the juices from fresh meat, do not sprinkle the meat with salt. A split clothes pin will be found most serviceable in scraping food from kettles or pans. This utensil will not injure the receptacle. After filling a lamp with oil. damp a cloth with vinegar and rub the reservoir till quite dry. Thi. will prevent the lamp from sweat- ing. To mend the side of an iron uten- sil usa putty. Place ashes and salt over the putty, which will thus be effectually hardened in a -few days. A delicious luncheon sandwich is made with tomatoes for a filling. Slice the tomato, spread generous- ly with mayonnaise and slip be- tween the slices of buttered bread just before serving. A little white wax or gum arable added to the boiled starch when it is made, helps to give a higher lus- tre to the linen when ironed. Do not throw away any piece of suet, however small. Try it out by putting it in the oven, strain it and keep it in a covered receptacle in a cool place. It is excellent to use in making gravies ; it is also good for shortening. A cook who prides herself on her coffee says that she always puts the ground coffee in a hot oven for two or three minutes before adding wa- ter. To remove rust from steel, cover it with sweet oil and let it remain covered for a day ; then rub it with a lump of fresh lime and it will then polish in the ordinary way. To clean soiled wall papers, dip a whit* wash brush in hot vinegar and brush it over the paper very quickly, but thoroughly. This will not injure the paper and when dry it will be as fresh and clean as when newly hung. In making a large number of ham or other sandwiches raquiring mus- tard for seasoning, cream the but- ter and mix the mustard with it. The flavor will be more even, and less time will be consumed in sea_- soning the sandwiches. A simple syrup for sweetening any fruit drink is made by adding an equal quantity of sugar to boil- ing water and stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Then boil for ;en minutes without stirring. Keep in a cool place in bottles or jars to use as occasion requires. This is more economical than stirring the sugar into the beverages as they are made. AN AERIAL DRAGON. 'One of the Most Interesting Things In Nature. Dragon-flies are beautiful inaecta, ; ajod they are very useful as well. To the nature student they furnioh | material for endless study. They are the swallows of the insect ' world, and no one can help admir- I ing their graceful, airy flight and I the rainbow colors that play upon their wings. "Snake doctors," the boys used j to call them, and they firmly believ- ed that they brought dead snakes to life. They were ''devil's darn- i ing-needles,'' too, and children . feared to fall asleep on some mossy bank lest they come and sew up their ears. Dragon-flies are per- fectly harmless, however, and are, indeed, the best friends to human beings, for the number of gnats and mosquitoes these industrious fel- lows devour is beyond computation. To noxiou* flies and other winged insects the dragon-fly must seem a veritable dragon of the air. If they are dragons in their ma- ture life above water, they are ! ogres of the dark depths of sluggish i ponds where they spend their im- ] mature existence. The immature dragon-fly gives little promise of the beautiful insect it afterward be- comes. Could your eye penetrate the muddy water some warm day in early May, you might ae, creeping awkwardly along tie bottom, among the decaying vegetation, a strange, big-headed, thick-bodied, dirty-grey, wingless creature vary- ing from half an inch to two inches in length. Should you watch one of the repulsive-looking insects for a few minutes, you. would- seit sud- denly dart forward Ijv-purting wa- ter from the hinder fip c( the body, unfold a vicious pan of majidibles J ; jre miniature ioe-tongs. seize some aquatic insect, and devour Or you might see one, half- i'yl -in the ooze and slime, watch with large, basilisk eyee until some sporting water-bug ca>me near. Then the mandibles would unfold, grasp the bug, and draw it into a rapacious mouth. When you see a dragon-fly skim- ming about over a lake or pond, it is probably feeding, and the man- ner in which it takes its food *s one of the most interesting things in nature. Naturally, every one sup- poses that the dragon-fly catches its prey in. its mouth. ''Such, how- ever, is not the case," writes Mr. C. 8. Moody, "and I discovered that fact purely by accident. "I was sitting in a boat one day near the shore of a lake. I had been fly-casting for trout without great success. Finally I grew wear}', ard sat idly swinging my fly a few inches above the water and watching the play of insect life. A dragon-fly came skimming along, saw the artificial fly, mistook it for a toothsome morsel, wheeled quick as thought *nd seized it. Instead of grasping it in his beak, the inject formed a basket with his legs, neat- ly picked the fly up in this basket, bent his head, and grasped it with his mandibles. The fellow was evi- dently surprised when his jaws closed over the steel hook, for he dropped the supposed insect with what I imagined to be a most dis- gusted look. "I experimented for some time, and induced several dragon-flies to capture the trout fly, and all of them formed the le$ basket and seized it in that. You will notice, if you examine a dragon-fly closely, that the legs are much too weak and small for purposes of locomo- tion ; indeed, the dragon-fly in adult life never uses its learn for walking 1 , but they are admirably adapted for exactly the purpose nature intend- ed, namely, a basket in which to capture prey. It is wonderful how quickly the dragon-fly see-s and captures the tiniest midge, but its eyes are con- structed for that purpose, for they are con?iposed of as many as thirty thousand facets. Then, too, the eye is unusually large ; the. visual apparatus takes up more than two- thirds of the head. Moreover, the insect can rotate its head about 180 degrees, and that gives a very extended range of vision. "If you care to know something of the voracious appetite of these insects, capture one some day with- out injuring it, hold rt by the wings. and feed it house-flies. One gen- tleman fed over forty flies to a large dragon-fly in two hours. The food of the dragon-fly consists largely of mosquitoes-, and now that we know that these little pests a-re responsible" for sveral serious dis- eases, the dragon-fly may be classed as one of our best friends-."

Two colors; known as the Marriage Was Truly a Lottery. Last year, when there was a severe 'amine in China, a charitable young ady who belonged to the family of a ligh official aided the sufferers after a singular fashion. She proposed that thirty thousand lottery tickets should be sold for one dollar each, the prize to be her own hand In marriage. Of the proceeds, she was to keep $5,000 for her dowry, and give the remain- der for famine relief. The plan was actually carried out, and it is to be hoped that the young lady got a satis- factory husband from the draw. At any rato, she can hav* the satisfac- tion of knowing that bar self-sacrifice saved several thousand lives. Fart and Fancy. If you can't be a sun, don't b a cloud.

The king's color, always of the same pattern, shows the Union Jack on a blue wreath of rose*, shamrocks and thistles, with the regiment's motto and crest, sur- rounded by a li#t of the various battles in which it has taken part, says the Evening Standard. All colors used in the army are in the first instance supplied by the army clothing factory at Pimlico. and before being issued a special religious service is held upon them. When a regiment is presented with new colors, which happens about once in twenty years although the guards' regiments, which use their colors more often than do other regiments, are' given fresh sets every ten years the old ones are usually deposited in the cathedra! or parish church of the territorial headquarters. In the old days no one seemed to trouble much what became of the colors, with the result that they of ten found their way in^o auction rooms and pawnshops-. The State, however, now inei-sta on the old colors of any regiment remaining its property, and on no account must they be sold or given to a pri- vate person.

The British Australasian, in a long article, gives some interesting information about snakej. It ap- pears that while 20,000 people a year die in India from snake-bite, only about 10 a year die in Austra- lia, though a very large number got bitten. The low deathrate in Aus- tralia is due to various causes. In the first place, the bite is usually received in the leg, which is pro- tected to some extent by clothing, or on the hand.
