Removing Iron Rust and stains.

A. writer m the Country Gentleman
says: my practice for years is this
Roll fresh lemon SO the juice will ex-
press freely: dampen the spot with the
lemon juice, then spread a thin coating
of fine salt over it and lay it aside for
twenty -four hours; then linse off in luke
warmis soft water. This always removes the
rust, but it is rather Il lengthy process.
A friend told me another method, that |
have triedait successiullyithis summer, land
it is less work and care. Dampen tho
spot with cold rain or spring water, and
spread d thir coating of oxahc acid over
the spot; use either pen knife or a tea
spoon handle to spread it on; let it lie
either in the sun or in warm place by
the stove fifteen or twenty minutes; then
rinse in pure water and the stain will be
gone. 1t will also remove the stains
from tablecloths and napkins, or ink spots
from clothing. 1t is always convenient,
and an ounce kept in tightly -corked
vial will do great amount in the clean
ing. 1t Is an important item to have IT
carefully labeled and kept where children
cannot possibly reach it. Spirits OF
turpeRtlne will remove ink from thick
fulled cloth and broadcloth, without dam
aging the goods. For removing wheel
grease or paint, either kerosene oil or
spirits of turpentine rabbea on the spot
and left few minutes, then washed off
with soapsuds,w will take of the substance
entirely. On goods that will wash, apply
I've soap to the spots, after soaking few
minutes in the kerosene or turpentlne,
aud it will rub cut without any trouble.
For paint stains, clear boiling water,
poured on the spot, will, with slight
rinisins, remove them entirely. For
grass stains warm sweet milk to soak in
a few minutes. will take it all out; rinse
in pure water. For leather stains on
hosiery, spirits of ammonia will be foun

The Mysterious 'Hez."

Philadelphia possesses my stery in the
shape of IN invisible beneicent fairy,
who writes cramped hand, works by
means of the postottice instead of wands,
magic lamps, etc, and sends It's gifts in
cheap yellow envelopes to the needy poor,
orphan -asylums and hospitals, with no
sign of its identity inside beyond the sim
gle word "Hez."
These gifts of "Hez" are magnificent
in proportion, and bestowed with great
wisdom and the keenest insight into the
necessities of each case. "Hez" is sup
posed to be some eccentric and charita-
bic millionaire, who means to put his
money to good uses while he is alive, and
not to leave it for trustees and executors to
quarrel over when he is dead.
If there is an eccentricity in giving
money while the giver is alive, and not

ors, and but one old man has ever enjoyed

There is scarcely town or city in the
country which has not its testimony to
give of charitable legacy which has
failed to answer the purpose Of its tesla

Trustees and executors are open to
: temptation, and the care of large, un.
protected trust is the strongest one which
can be thrown in their way. ''Hez" is
