/ ''How to Keep Furs," is thus told in
the Western Rural by "Young House.
keeper" of Minnesota: 81 would say in
reply to the question "How I. shall keep
furs !" that purchased set of ere Of
the leading fur houses of Chicago, three
years ago and made inquiry there and
was told that they always sealed theirs
up before the LIST of May THAT being the
month in which the moth miller commits
its depredations. Put your furs into
their box and with good paste or mucil-
age fastcn . strip of paper over the crack
left between the lid and box and put
them in your closet. You need not en-
terrain fears that the fall will find them
anything but safe and free from the un-
pleasant odors that tobacco, camphor,
etc., always leave in furs.''

oughly, being sure not to have any Jumps

Chicken Cheese.-Did you, reader, ever
eat anyi We like it. Boil two chickens
until tender; take out all the bones and
chop the meat fine; season to taste with
salt, pepper and butter; pour in enough
Of the liquor they are boiled in to make
moist. Mould it into any shape you wish,
and when cold turn out and cut into

A simple and usually successful mode
Of extracting needle or any piece Of
steel or iron broken off in the flesh is &C.
complished by the application Of simple
pocket magnet. An acquaintance Of ours
had little daughter who recently broke
q needle of in her hand. A surgeon was
called, who made several efforts to find
the needle by probing and incision. but
without success. After the surgeon had
left, the mother conceived the idea of try
ing . magnet; one was procured, and a.
ter one or two applications of it. the
broken fragment of needle VA
discovered attached to the magnet.
This idea will Be Of especial
utility to workers in iron. Machine shop
surgery is net the most delicate MOI
least painful, though m.n heroically un-
derxo it rather than stand the loss oil
time due to IN infamed eye or festered
finger. Iron filings have : way of Inn.
bedding themselves in the eye, which de.
fies almost. every ordinary means for
thesr extraction. For their removal, Z
small. blunt, pointed bar of steel. well
magnetizcd, will be found excellent, and
we should recommend that workmen La.
bic to such injuries keep such an instru.
ment about them. It would be . good
plan to inser.. such bar in . penknife
| in 4 manner similar to blade.
