Clear Tomato Soup. Add a pint of water to a can of tomatoes and place In a saucepan. Cut into dice one carrot. one onion, one turnip and one white potato; put two ounces of butter in the frying pan. Add the prepared vegetables and toss about until slightly browned, then stir them into the hot tomatoes, adding a stalk of celery or a quarter of a teaspoonful of celery seed, and boil 45 minutes. Remove from the fire and strain. Season with a teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of white pepper, and then stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Serve in bouillon cups with toasted crackers. Creole Vegetable Soup. Wash and cut into thin slices half a dozen good sized okras. Place them In a saucepan with a pint of stewed tomatoes and one thinly sliced onion. Cover the whole with two quarts of cold water and simmer for two hours. Add two teaspoonfuls of salt, a saltspoonfuli of pepper, and two tablespooufuls of butter. When the butter Is dissolved stir In a tablespoonful of mushroom of catsup and one tablespoonful chopped green sweet pickles. Serve with triangles of toasted bread. Puree of Lima Beans. Cook one can of lima beans in a pint of salted water, adding a tablespoon of grated onion, a bay leaf, a blade of mace, and three whole cloves. When reduced to a pulp press through a fine sieve. Return to the fire and stir in two coffee cupfuls of milk and season with half a spoonful of salt and dash of cayenne. Thicken with one tablespoon of butter and one of flour rubbed to a paste, letting It just roach the boiling point, to cook the flour. Serve at once with tiny crescents of fried bread. Cream of Sweet Potato Soup. This southern delicacy Is made by peeling four sweet potatoes, covering with boiling water, and cooking five minutes, after which they should be drained and the water thrown away. Then cover them with one pint of boiling water, adding a slice of onion, a stalk of chopped celery, a hay leaf, and a pinch of thyme. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender; then press them through a colander. Add one quart of milk and turn Into the double boiler; rub together two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour; add to the soup and cook until smooth; season with a teaspoon of salt and a dash of cayenne and strain through a fine sieve. Reheat and stir In two tablespoonfuls of thick cream. To Clean Lettuce, When cleaning lettuce one often finds that each leaf Is covered with a lot of tiny, green bugs which it seems impossible to remove. It is a great time saver to wash the lettuce in cold water first to remove it of dirt, and then take water as hot as you can bear the hands In and place each leaf of lettuce In the water and shake It around in the water several times. You will find that the bugs will loosen their hold on the lettuce and will remain in the water. If the watter becomes cool add some more hot water, as the hot water is a great deal more effective than cold. After the bugs are all off the lettuce replace It in cold water for a short time to renew the crispness. Rotation Cake. three, four cake, or rotation cake, as it Is sometimes called calls for the following Ingredients: One cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, four eggs, 1 teaspoon soda and 1 cup sour cream. Cream the butter and sugar, beat the eggs well and add to the mixture. Beat in thoroughly half of the flour, then stir the soda into the cup of sour cream, allowing it to foam over into the mixing bowl. Beat in the rest of the flour. Meg Dod's rule of giving 200 beats to every cake the last thing before putting into the oven is an excellent one. One, two, When a fishhook is caught in the HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

One often hears complaints that the boiler rusts and lronmolds the dollies. To prevent this, as soon as the boiler Is emptied rub well over witn simp. This will not only prevent rust, It will also help to make suds for the next boiling. Removing Vase Stains. Glass flower vases are apt to become much stained In time, especially If such flowers as mignonette and are left in them for a few days without changing the water. To remove the stains few methods are better than that of placing a handful of used tea leaves at the bottom of the vase with a little vinegar, and with the hand placed across the top shaking it until the marks have disappeared. It not completely eliminated, this should be repeated, while in addition a rag wound around a stick and pushed intc the crevices will effectually remove the most obstinate stains.

Punctured wounds should be treated by means of hot fomentations, of poultices of compresses of tepid water. Torn or contused wounds heal much more slowly than cut or punctured wounds. Torn wounds should be thoroughly cleansed and the Injured parts drawn together by means of adhesive plasters and bandages. Care must be taken not to employ too strong compression. Either water dressing or lint saturated with sweet oil containing ten drops of carbolic acid to the ounce may be employed. If the parts have been badly bruised, hot fomentations should be applied. Heat is essential in cases In which considerable portions of tissues have been nearly severed from the body, but have retained a sufficient amount af attachment to justify the attempt to secure union. For contused wounds, carboluted vaseline spread on pieces of thin cloth, constitutes an excellent dressing. If there be a disposition of the injured part to become gangrenous or to slough, the parts should be kept Immersed In water as hot as can be borne for a time, or treated with fomentations.

With a husky catcher the possibility of being hit is much less. Tom Connolly has a steel cap which he wears over his toes.

I was struck on the knee cap by a swift four ball and that leg has bothered me ever since. Jack Sheridan Is about the luckiest man behind the bat.
