NECESSITY or SUSLIGHI.-Instead Of
excluding the sunlight from our houses,
says the Manufacturer and Builder, lest
it fade carpets, draw flies snd bring
freckles, we should open every door
and window and bid il enter. IL brings
life and health and Joy; there is heal
ing In its beams; IL drives away disease
and dampness, mould, megrims. In
stead Of doing this, however, many
careful housewives close the blinds,
draw down the shades, lock the door,
shut out the clarifying rays aud rejoice
In the dim and musty GOODNESS and twi-
light Of their unhealthy apartments.

indulge In the sun bath and let II flood
all our rooms, and If at ITS very iercest

sleeping-rOOms, so much the better for
US. Wire netting in doors and win
dows excludes not flies and mosquitoes

who have once used II will continue to
do so. With this as a protection from
intrusive winged creatures one may al
most dispense with shades and shutters

the annoyances with sunshine than
freedom from them without 1t. Statis-
tics of e%pidemics have shown that If
they rage in any part of a city they will
prevail in houses which are exposed to
the least sunshine, while those most
exposed TO it will not be at all or
slightly affected. Even in the same
horse persons occupying rooms exposed
to sunlight will be healthier and repulse
epidemical influences better than those

ABOUT GoATs.-They require no care
except during the first month of their
existence. Kids should be kept in an
enclosure and convenient to shelter
until they are able to get out of the way
of sows and other animals. They in
crease fast and are as susceptible of i'm
provement as any other animals. 1t is
better to raise a goat for every sheep
than to lose all by dogs.
The best age to kill goats is when
they are about a year old and done
growing. At that age the tender grass
and heritage goes TO make up meat
which cannot be excelled for juiciness
and sweetness.
The common, short-legged white goat
is the best for butchering. The AngOras
or Cashmeres have no advantage of
them in any way, and are not so hardy.
There is many a small farmer who
could keep a small flock Of goats with
out absolutely any expense at all, and
always have at his command good,
fresh meat, if he only knew how easily
1t may be done.-Fdrmer's Home Jour
nal.

DON'T DO THAT.-Never use soap to
wash hair brushes. Take a piece of
soda, dissolve it in warm water, stand
the brush in 1t, making sure that the
water only covers the 5ristles. 1t will
almost instantly become white and
clean. Place it in the air to dry, with
the bristles downward, and it will be as
firm as a new brush.
