read of one who has stuck rusty nail in
his foot or some other portion of his per
son, and lockiaw has resulted thcrefrom.
All such wounds can be healed Without
any fatal consequences following them.
The remedy is simple: II isonly to smoke
such wound, or any wound or huise that
is infamed with burning wool or wOolen
cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of
wool will take the pain out of the worst
case of inflammation we ever saw arising
from a wound. .-Erchdnge.

THE Gardeners M0nM says, in any
article on the old question of deep plant.
ing: We want ordinary flower seeds as
near the surface as we can get them.
Scrape from the bed of mellow earth
soil to the thickness of the trowel- blade.
Sow the seed, draw the soil back, and beat
firmly down on the seed. The principle
is that seeds want moisture to make then
grow, but they must have air=-one Is ga
evil without the other. If deep, they get
only water, in which case they rot II
entirely on the surface, they get only air,
and then they dry up. As to heating the
soil, the principle is that large spaces in
soil enable the earth to dry out rapidly.
Small spaces, on the other hand, hold
water. Crushing earth, when dry, gives
it these small spaces, or, as gardeners call
it, makes it porous. Planted as directed,
the seeds are where they will be near the
air, and yet so fixed that they Will be reg

CLEANING SILKS AND WOoLENs. If the
silk is much soiled it must be ripped en-
tirely to pieces and well shaken to clean it
from dust. Then boil black kid glove
in pint of water, or If light. colored
silk is to be cleaned take lightcolored
kid glove. When it is all shriveled up
the water will contain enough glue to
give little stiffness to the silk. Place
over the ironing table sheet of newspa-
per and lay it over breadth of the silk
then dip piece of wooden cloth, or better
still, of black Grape, into the liquid, and
thoroughly clean the best side OF the silk.
BE careful to remove every spot, and rub
it from edge to edge, wetting it all over.
Then told the silk in half, and place ii in
a clean towel, and cleanse another piece
in the same manner, laying one piece on
the other in the towel. Let the silk lie
folded until all is finished, and have a
! large iron, and to be sure that it is not too
hot, try it first upon paper, or bit of old
dampened silk. Two irons are needed
Take the piece of silk that was first
washed, and lay it on a sheet folded thick
ly, and covered with newspaper, and
iron the wrong side quickly, from edge tC
edge, until perfectly dry. Fold the silk
over lightly, and place it on one end Of
the table until all are finished. Thi;
process will clean and stiffen old silk, and
make it look like new Green or black
tea will also make black silk look fresh
