lime with water till of the consistency Of
cream. dissolve small lump of copperas
ip warm water; when cold mix with the
lime water. Lay it on the walls with a
large brush, taking care to stir up the

WASHING WooLEE OR FLANNEL AR

basin with one teaspoonful of salt, whlsk
them well, then add, drop by drop. one
pint Of the best salad oil, mix well, and
add one teaspoonful of made mustard,
three tablespoonsful Of vinegar, one Of

EASY Mosaic WoRK.-An ingenius
method of making inlaid or mosaic work
in wood has lately been introduced. Two
contrasting kinds of veneer are laid, one
on the other, and confined between
white wood or something similar. The
desired design is then cut through the
whole by fine jig-saw, not much larger
than a horse hair. The part that is cut
out Of the light colored veneer Is then
set into the place Of the corresponding
part in the dark veneer, and vice versa,
and glued firmly upon the article to be
ornamented in the usual manner OF We
neering.
BRUIsEs.-The best application for a
bruise, be it large or small, is moist
warmth therefore a warm bread-and-
water poultce in hot moist fannels
should be put on, as they supple the skin.
If the bruise be very severe, and in the
neighborhood of joint, it will be well
to apply ten or dozen leeches over the
whole bruised part, and afterwards a
poultice. But leeches should not be put
on young children. If the bruised part
be in the knee or ankle, walking should
not be attempted till it can be performed
without pain. Inattention to this point
often lays the foundation for serious
mischief in these joints, especially i'll the
case of scrofulous persons.
REMEDY FOR Poison BY IvY.-It
seems to me that | read ali kinds of cures
for ivy poison except the right one. |
have always endeavored to keep it before
the public, but have failed. 1t is to
dissolve sugar of lead-a bit the size of
a hazlenut-in half teacup Of sweet
milk or warm water. Apply as warm
as can be easily borne with a soft, 1in3y
piece of linen rag. Three or four APP
pications are sufficient to effect a cure
1.-THE poison is on the face and nearing
the eyes ard mouth, this astrngent wash
may be constantly applied. Il is
marvellous cure, and by watching closely
one can see the fevered blisters turn
from white to yellow during the applica-
ton. This remedy for ivy poison should
prevent great deal of suffering 1t is
well where a member of family is easily
poisoned to keep sugar of lead in the
house all the time. Let it be labeled
and kept where it can be found the mo-
ment it is wanted. Keep it well wrapped
up, that it may not loose its strength.
