Woman and the Home 
From Day to Day. 
LIFE, LOVE AND DEATH. 
A little dreaming by the way, 
A little toiling by tlie day, 
A little pain, a little strife, 
A little joy—and that is life. 
A short-lived, fleeting Summer’s mom, 
When happiness seems newly born, 
When one day’s sky is blue above 
And one bird sings—and that is love. 
A little wearing of the years, 
The tribute of a few hot tears, 
Two folded hands—the fainting breath. 
And peace at last—and that is death. 
Just dreaming, loving, dying, so 
The actors in the drama go; 
A flitting picture on the-wall, 
Love, death, the themes! But is that all; 
—Credit Lost.

White stains on furniture, caused by 
hot dishes, can usually be removed by 
rubbing with linseed oil. If this does 
not remove the spot, moisten with sweet 
spirits of nitre, and then rub immedi¬ 
ately with a cloth dipped in sweet oil.

Cranberries stewed with raisins make 
a very nice sauce. Stew one teacupful 
of raisins in two teacupfuls of water 
for ten minutes, then add one quart of 
cranberries and sugar to taste. Stew 
until cranberries are cooked, being care¬ 
ful to avoid burning.

Hot slaw is prepared as follows: 
Chop a small, compact head of cabbage 
fine and salt it sufficiently for the table. 
Let it stand half an hour, then put two 
tablespoonfuls butter in a round bot¬ 
tomed iron kettle. As soon as melted and 
hot, put in the cabbage. Cover closely 
but set on the back of the fire, where it 
will simmer but not scorch. Do not add 
any water. The 'salt will have drawn 
out the juices of the cabbage so it will 
have moisture enough. Stir often to 
keep from burning, but replace the cov¬ 
er quickly each time so as .to retain all 
the steam. In five or six minutes the 
cabbage will be sufficiently cooked. Then 
add a teaspoonful of flour mixed 
smoothly with a half cupful -thick sweet 
cream. Stir well together, add a table¬ 
spoonful good vinegar and serve at once.

Some of the New York dairymen re¬ 
port a regular trade in sour milk and 
cream, which is new to many of them. 
Sour cream appears to be increasing in 
demand. This is no doubt due to the 
increasing number of foreigners who 
regard sour cream as a delicacy, but a 
good many Americans appear to share 
their taste. The demand for sour milk 
is probably increased by the number of 
people trying a special diet for various 
ills, especially rheumatic affections, 
hardening of the arteries, etc. Both 
sour milk and buttermilk have been 
recommended highly by many of the 
modern specialists, and the latter is 
freely called for in all city restaurants, 
and is even sold in saloons. Unfortu¬ 
nately it does not taste the same as 
when drawn off fresh from the churn, 
with its 'sprightly subacid and little 
flecks of golden butter. 
Many people who 'suffer from tired, 
aching feet, and whose daily work is 
rendered a misery by the discomfort 
they endure, could get rid of the trouble 
for all time by wearing instep or arch 
supporters in their shoes. Fallen arch 
or flat foot is one of the commonest 
foot troubles among adults. It causes 
the foot to become broader and flat, 
there is a sort of ■stiff soreness through 
the instep, and under the outer ankle, 
and the pain extends through the calf 
of the leg, often including the knee. A 
sudden jar, such as may be caused by 
stepping abruptly into an uneven place, 
gives exquisite pain, and the victim rubs 
with linament, or uses hot applications, 
under the impression that rheumatism 
or some similar ailment is responsible. 
The trouble is caused by relaxed mus- 
THE RUEIA 1 , 
cles, which permit the arch of the foot 
to drop, and the little arch support 
quickly benefits it. The supports, sold 
by all good shoe stores, cost $2 a pair, 
or $1.25 for a single one; they come 
in sizes to fit any shoe, and are not 
heavy enough to cause any inconveni¬ 
ence. There are also special makes of

shoes with the supports built in. In 
young people flat foot sometimes occurs 
as the result of poor nutrition combined 
with occupations that necessitate con¬ 
stant standing, and in such cases rest, 
tonics, liberal diet and general hygienic 
care are needed. In weakly children 
there is sometimes a tendency to flat 
foot caused by turning the foot too far 
outward, but this can be corrected by 
tonics, heelless shoes, and by instruct¬ 
ing the patient to walk with toes turned 
in. In some very severe cases surgical 
treatment is necessary. Women who are 
much on their feet will find that arch 
supporters and rubber heels will relieve 
fatigue, even where actual flat foot has 
not become apparent. 
The Rural Patterns. 
A simple little dress such as No. 6457 
can be utilized in a great many different 
6465 College Girl’s Blouse, 
14, 16 and 18 years. 
ways. In the illustration it is made of 
fine lawn and the yoke is embroidered. 
This yoke could be made of all-over 
material, however, and for the banding 
either lace or embroidery is appropriate. 
For the dress itself, all the pretty mus¬ 
lins can be utilized or any of the simple 
wools, such as cashmere, albatross and 
the like. The dress is made with a pret- 
NEW-YORKER 
tily shaped yoke and the full portions. 
These last are tucked and joined to the 
yoke and the trimming conceals the 
seam. The sleeves are made in one piece 
each and can be finished either with 
plain or fancy cuffs. The quantity of 
material required for the medium size 
(4 years) is 3 yards 24, 2% yards 32 or 
2 )/% yards 44 inches wide with 4 yards 
of banding and Y yard 18 inches wide 
for the yoke. The pattern 6457 is cut in 
sizes for children of 1, 2, 4 and 6 years 
of age; price 10 cents. 
The blouse shown is one of this Fall’s 
novelties. It can be made from serge 
or from broadcloth, or from similar 
material. It can be worn with a plaited 
skirt to match or can be used separately 
and worn over an odd skirt as liked. 
This one is made of blue serge with 
pearl buttons and is finished with 
turned-over portion of collar and cuffs 
made from white. These, last can be 
made from silk or the material, how¬ 
ever, if preferred. The model promises 
to be a favorite of the season and al¬ 
ready is shown made from plain colored 
materials with plaid skirts as well as 
with those to match. Often the facing 
at the lower edge and the turned-over 
portions of collar and edges are made 
to match the skirt. The blouse is made 
with front and back portions with un¬ 
der-arm gores. The lower edge is fin¬ 
ished with a facing and is turned up 
and buttoned into place. The sleeves 
are in one place each, of moderate ful¬ 
ness and gathered into straight cuffs. 
A standing collar finishes the neck. The 
quantity of material required for the 
■sixteen year size is 3 y 2 yards 27, 22s 
yards 32 or lji yards 44 inches wide, 
with yard 27 inches wide for turned 
over portions of collar and cuffs, Y& yard 
27, yard 44 or y 52 inches wide for 
facing for lower edge. The pattern 6465 
is cut sizes for girls of 14, 16 and 18 
years of age; price 10 cents.

Ginseng in Tennessee. 
My advice to those thinking of ven¬ 
turing in ginseng culture is to go slow, 
and not expect too great returns. It re¬ 
quires five or six years to grow a mar¬ 
ketable root, yet when a bed is once 
started and bearing seed the plants may 
be produced in any number. My own 
ginseng is growing in its natural en¬ 
vironment, some of it not even trans¬ 
planted. I ‘searched the woods and 
brought home all the plants to be found, 
buying the small plants with green tops 
from the ginseng hunters for a cent 
each. I have several hundred plants 
ranging in size from a rye straw to a 
good-sized parsnip. A number of bunch¬ 
es found near the house in the forest 
were left standing, and the others plant¬ 
ed near about. While I have no hope 
of ever becoming a millionaire I think 
I have a pretty fair thing of it. Any¬ 
way, I am out no money. When seeds 
ripen I stir up the soil with a hoe and 
plant them near the parent stalk, then 
lay brush over the bed and leave them 
alone. Sometimes after 12 or 15 months 
there will be three tiny leaves showing 
up, still capped by the seed shell. In 
gathering the wild ginseng the best 
roots were found where soil was loose 
and moist on top, with a hard clay bed 
underneath. In fact, I never found a 
large root unless the ends were firmly 
imbedded in clayey soil.
