arabic dissolved.
II. That beeswax and salt will make
your fat-irons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie lump of wax in a rag and
keep il for that purpose. When the
fronts are hot rub them first with a wax
rag, then scour with a paper or cloth

~. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions, and applied
to bedsteads, is an unfsiling bed-bug
remedy, and that coat of whitewash

How TO HANDLE A GUN.-As the
cunning season has opened il will be
well 10 follow the directions here given
in regard to the proper handling of q
gun, which we clip from a leading sport
ing paper. for the benefit Of amateur
gunners and sportsmen. BY observing
these directions carefully, serious acct
dents may be avoided
"Guns should always be carried at
half-cock, as then neither blow on the
striker nor a pull at the trigger viii
bring the former into action. There Is
no necessity whaieFer{ for gun to be
otherwise than at the half cock, unless
game is Immediately in front: and,
further. il may not be out of place to
add, that il is dangerous when shooting
in company for the gun 10 be swung
