TREATMENT OF BuRNs.-The New York
Medicdt Record states that ut the Roose-
welt Hospital whitehead paint has been
found, after trying almost every plan of
treatment hitherto proposed, to be the
best and cleanest application. Mix as
for painting, but considerably thicker,
and apply with a brush. A very neat
and satisfactory dressing in superficial
burns consists in coating the surface with

How TO MANAGE PoTATo BEETLEs.-
Prof Riley quotes the Prdt1To Farmer
for the following mode of managing
these fellows, SO as not to have to go
over the whole field with Paris green
He begins at one end of his potato patch
and scatters fnely-pulverized air-slacked
lime over the potatoes gradually for
about ten rods. Lime will not kill them,
but they do not like It, so they 90 TO the
part not lined. The next day he drives
them ten rods farther, and so on till he
has them in narrow space, and then he
puts on the Paris green strongly, and
finishes them.
DISH CLoTus-A dish cloth has been,
but needlessly, contemplate thing. 1t
should be sweet as II sheet Just from the
perfumed drawer where it has lain ready
for use amid rose leaves and lavender
1t should be white and clean, but, alas
it is not always. The dish cloth should
be made just as much as your holder for
ironing or handling hot things about
the stove. Take new unbleached, rather
thin, coarse cotton cloth or worn cotton
flannel, double once, twice or three
times, as you like, but always once; run
together all around the edge with double
cotton, then quilt from corner to corner
and across the middle both ways, and
you have something tangible to lay hold
of, and it will hold no bones or crumbs
When the table dishes are washed spread
it upon the grass or hang upon the line
using another for pots and kettles, and
do so invariably. Do not forget and use
this nice white dish cloth upon greasy
pan or pot and thus streak il so you
would be ashamed to hang il upon the
line. The size depends entirely upon
your preference. When washing Jars,
deep pitchers, etc, have wooden
handle with spring in the end, upon
which can be fastened the dish cloth in
an instant. Dish wipers should be of
soft linen crash, bleached or brown. The
bleached to be used on silver and glass
and never on anything else, as we all
know towel must be clean to make
glass clear and silver shine. Never use
the dish wiper about the stove or to
wipe baking tins, pots, kettles or any
such thing. For such a purpose use
calico; piece of a dress or apron an
swers very well. Some buy cheap crash
and make what they calh" stove cloths, -
using them for nothing else.-Hdrper's
