Wearing Spectacles.

When the eyes begin to fail, use them
as little as possible at night, and avoid
reading fine print or doing any work by
lamp light which tries them. But when
you instinctively adjust your book so as
to get better light, when the eyes are
easily fatigued and there is sense Of
effort to make out the letters in print or
to take stitches In sewing, spectacles are
needed. They are the last things to be
bought for cheapness. Brazilian glasses
are best, because of natures make, and
most difficult TO be scratched, but you
should wear manufactured glasses first,
until the eye becomes accustomed to their
use. Always note the number of your
glasses and. the date of first using them !;
if lost you can tell what number you
want. Glasses should be washed every
day in cold water, wiped dry with linen
fabric and then with buckskin, never
with paper, as it scratches them.

The mixture hardens very quickly, so it
is best to prepare but small quantity at

Household Hints.

To polish tins, first rub your tins with
damp cloth; then take dry -four and
rub it on with your hands; and after
ward take an old newspaper and rub the
flour off, and the tins will shine as well
as if half an hour had been spent in rub
bling them with brick-dnst or powder,
which spoils the hands.
The method employed b y professional
workers in hair-curling is as follows ::
Wet the hair to be curled, wrap it smooth
ly around a cylindrical stick or tube of
proper size, tie it in place; then put it in
water and boil it two or three hours !;
remove it from the boiler, wrap it careful
ly in newspaper, and bake it in mod
crate oven for an hour. Thus treated, it
will stay in curl permanently.
The real waste among well-to.do
farmers, the Boston journal of Chemistry
says sis in the throwing away oc house
slops, and in allowing the liquid excre-
ment Of animalssto be lost. 1t is better
to advise farmers to save every drop of
the liquids of the house and barn, than
to urge them to pile up huge heaps of in
ert substances to be used as fertilizers. A
heap Of dry muck or peat, which in itself
have no special value, may be used ad-
vantageously to absorb the valuable
liquids of the house and barn, and in this
way farmer may largely increase his
manurial resources without mourning
great expense,
