Facts Worth Remembering.

WHITING IS unequaled for cleaning
white paint without producing injury to
it. Put a small quantity on a damp
flannel, rub lightly over the surface,
and the result will be most satisfactory.
FoR weak eyes, put piece of alum
about the RE of a hazel-nut and a
piece of lu Up sugar the same size into
a quart of esid spring water, and stand
near the fire to dissolve then saturate
little lint with the mixture battle the
eyes several times a day destroy the
lint Immediately after using, as 1T must
not be put into the lotion g second
time.
THE right way to sweep is to incline
the handle little forward, then give a
light drawing stroke, allowing the
broom to scarcely touch the carpet.
Not one-half the weight of the broom
should be allowed to press on the carpet
as the dirt is moved forward. Let the
the dirt be moved and lightly rolled If
a generous quantity of fairgrounds,
small bits of wet paper, or clean and
wet sawdust can be spread over the car
pet before the sweeping is commenced,
all the fine dirt will adhere to the wet
materials.
REMEDY FOR SORE THRoAT.-Take
one large red pepper, such as are grown
for family use, steep IN half a pint of
water, after which strain in a quart of
molasses, adding little vinegar boil
all together to thin sirup use this
whenever the throat feels dry or disa-
greeably; If it be in dead of night, it
will soothe the throat land not irritate)
and warm it up well. If sharper than
can be borne IN the mouth, put it back
near the palate with spoon and swal-
low apply outwardly thin slice of salt
pork, warming it up we'll in vinegar and
pepper: apply as hot as can be borne
on the throat; fasten the bandage that
holds the pork over the. head, to draw
the cold and inflammation up and not
about the neck, as most people do.
Tones FOR WoMEN.-Nothing makes
a woman age more rapidly than over
work-the reason, probably, that Amer
lean women fade so soon. Sunshine,
music, work and sleep are the greatest
medicines for women, who need more
sleep than men. Their nerves are more
sensitive and they are not so strong,
and exhaustion from labor or pleasure
takes place sooner with them than with
men. Never permit yourself to be
reused out OF deep sleep III the morn
ing. In fact. one should never be
wakened. The body rouses of itself
when its demands are satisfied. Take
warm bath occasionally before going to
bed-at least once a week. Retire as
soon as you feel sleepy in the evening.
Don't rouse yourself and go to work.
You need rest then, and Will pay for the
trespass ON your physical nature the
next day if you disobey.
ABSTINENCE WHILE LILA certain
class of people fancy, when any member
OF the family falls i'll, that all that is
necessary to coax them back to health
is plenty of food. When a young man
has surfeited in season and out of sea-
son, until exhausted nature gives way,
and fever is coming on, the good
mother IS In trouble. She anxiously
inquiries, Nov, John, what can you
eat? You must eat something People
can't live without food y Then comes
toast and tea, etc. The stomach is ex-
hausted and no more needs stimulating
food than a jaded horse needs whip.
Nine-tenths of the acute diseases may be
prevented by few days starvation
when the first indications appear. /
don't mean complete abstinence in
every case, but perhaps piece of
coarse bread, with cold water for drink.
III such a policy was generally adopted,
what ruin would overtake the medical
profession, how many physicians would
lack for patients
CLEAN TEETH.-If you only keep your
teeth clean they won't decay. The won
derful dentifrices which are sold at fab
ulous prices are inferior to a simple
mixture of soap and prepared chalk,
with little something like orris root
but the essential articles are soap and
chalk. The druggist will prepare you
enough for quarter of dollar to last
a long time. When you go to bed,
with broad, soft toothbrush go
through the mouth thoroughly. If dis
posed to a bad mouth, you must repeat
the dose in the morning. But the
principal article for keeping the teeth
clean is toothpick, a soft goose quill,
which you must use after eating, no
matter though it is piece of apple,
and if convenient, after the pick use a
mouthful of water to rinse from be-
tween the teeth what the toothpick may
have left.-Dio LeaUis an To-Day.
