that annoys tidy house.keeper so much
as to have her carpet spotted with lamp.
oil or grease, and we therefore make
known for their benefit the following re-
ccipt for extracting Gil or grease spots

spot with whiting, and let it remsin until
it becomes saturated with the grease then
scrape 1t of, and cover 1t with another
coat Of whiting, and If this does not re.

Pudding THE RooTs.-Many of our
readers may have neglected to transplant
q choice shrub or tree, until it seems to
them to be too late in the season. They
will find, however, that the operation can
be safely performed If they will take ur
the plants and puddle the roots-that is
dip them in mud made of about the con.
sistency Of thin mortar. The puddle. hole
should he made ready before the plants
are lifted, and the roots should be dipped
in the mud before the sun or air can have
any effect upon them. After the roots are
coated with earth, they may be carried to
the place where they are to be planted
Shrubs that have been heeled in until the
leaves have started may be safely removed
by using the puddle.-Hedrth and Home.
