no harsh feeling between the thumb ana

but has no strong or rank flavor, and
leaves a relishable taste. Most people

cover the spot in like manner with clay.
Cover the whole with sheet OF paper,
and apply for few seconds heated iron
box, or any substitute adopted by laun-
dresses. On using Indian rubber to re-
move the dust taken up by the grease,
the paper will be found restored to its
original whiteness and opacity. This
simple method has proved much more
effectuai than the use OF turpentine.
The Practical Farmer says that clap
boards are often split by driving large
nails into the board that has just been
put on, sometimes checking the stud on
which the clapboard is nailed. This in
duces leakage and often speedy decay.
The proper method is pointed out as fol-
lows: After one board is nailed on let
the support nails be stuck into the
sheathing boards or studs, SO as to rest on
the upper edge of the board below.
Then, after the ends are fitted, draw out
the support nails and lap the lower edge
of the clapboard on the board below not
less than one inch. By observing this
direction no cracks will be produced near
the lower edges Of the boards. 1t will
pay we J., also, to make holes for nails
with a sharp brad-awl.
CRACKgR FOR INvALIDS.-One quar-
of -four, two eggs, one tablespoonful o,
sugar; the eggs and sugar must be wei.

BE ready to throw in an odd hall
hour or an hour time when it will be an
accommodation, and don't seem to make a
merit of it. Do it heartily. Though not
word be said. your employer will make
note of it, Make yourself indispensable
to him and he will lose many of the
opposite kind before he will part with
you. Those young men who watch the
clock to see the very second their work
ing hour was up-who leave, no matter
what state their work may be in, at pre-
cisely the instant-who calculate thei
work and yet not reproved-who are
lavish of their employers goodwill
always be the first to receive notice,
when times are dull, that their service is
no longer required.
