Something Worth Knowing.

In pasting wall paper, posters. etc,
especially where successive layers are
put on, there arises most disagreeable
affiuyia which is particularly noticeable
Ia wet weather. The cause of this Is
decomposition of the paste. In close
rooms it Is very unwholesome, and Of
ten the cause of disease. In large man.
ufactories, where large quantities OF
paste are used, il often becomes sour
and offensive. Glue, also has very
disagreeable odor. If, when making
paste or glue, a small quantity of car
bolic acid is added, it will keep sweet
and free from offensive smells. A few
drops added to mucilage or ink prevents
mould. In whitewashing the cellar and
dairy an ounce of carbolic acid is added
10 each gallon of whitewash, 1t will
prevent mould and remove the disagree.
able taints often perceive in meats and
milk from damp apartments.

Decoration Day.

The 30th day of May has been fixed
upon as the day for decorating soldiers
graves. In circular issued from the
headquarters OF the Grand Army of the
Republic, at New York, by order OF
General Burnside, which announces
that the goth of May will be observed
as Decoration Day, the following beau-
tiful suggestion is made, which is well
worthy of consideration; "ln addition
to the strewing of the graves with
flowers, it is suggested that they be
planted with flowers and shrubs, SO
that, when we are gone, the seasons in
their ceaseless round may, in our stead
adorn the sleeping places of our COM
rades."

Bad for BARRIERS.

Every day always brings something
new. Razors are to be laid aside, and
shaving, in the proper sense of the term,
abolished, and henceforth the hirsute
growth on the lip, chin and cheeks is
to be removed, not with soap, brush,
lather, hot water and a keen edged
blade, but by simply rubbing a piece of
pumice stone over the bearded parts.
We have not tried it, but the Scientific
American says it will do 1t.

Whether.

Is it most economical to employ one

Domestic Hint,

Carpet shaking is at hand. Here is a
bitof advice which it will be well for
housekeepers to heed. When carpet
Is taken to be cleaned, the floor be-
meath is generally covered with dust.
This dust Is generally fine and dry, and
poisonous to the lungs. Before remov-
Ing it, sprinkle the floor with diluted
carbolic acid, to kill any poisonous
germs that may be present, and to thor
oughly disinfect the floor and make it
sweet.
