Hints About House, Clearing.

Copperas mixed with whitewash put

To polish stained floors rub them thor
oughly once week with beeswax and
tuIpentine.
Strong brine may be used to advant-
age in washing bedsteads; hot Ealum is
also good for this purpose.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches; they eat it
and are poisoned.
Drain pipes and all places that are
sour or impure may be cleansed with
lime water, copperas water or carboic
acid.
When house-cleaning, be sure and
take nutritious food at least three times
per day, and it will go far toward ena-
bling you to keep strength and temper.
Carpets should be thoroughly beaten
on the wrong side first, and then on the
right, after which, spots may be removed
by the use Of ox-gall or ammonia and

should be covered, as lime makes spots

upon black walnut.
Furniture needs cleaning as much as
other woodwork. It may be washed
with warm soap-suds, quickly wiped dry
and then rubbed with an oily cloth. Tc
polish it, rub it with rotten-stone and
sweet oil. Clean off the oil and polish it
with chamois skin. For ordinary wood
work use whiting to rub the dirt off and
ammonia. Mortar and paint may be re-
moved from window glass with hot,
sharp vinegar. Grained wood should bt
washed with. cold tea.

Drinks for the Sick.

In speaking Of the annoying thirst Of
fever patients, DR.. H. H. Kane, in his
Sick Room, says:
Thirst is q very prominent and annoy
ing symptom of fever, and one that re-.
quires little consideration. Plain wa
ter, when taken beyond certain amount,
is very apt to disorder the stomach and
bowels, especially in fevers where much
fluid and but little solid food is taken.
Enough water to quench the thirst would
certainly be enough in most cases to dis
order digestion, or rather, further disor-
der it, and so important is the little that
remains Of this function that we cannot
afford to abuse it. Small pieces Of ice,
held in the mouth, and allowed to dis
solve, sometimes answer the purpose,
but not in the majority Of cases. Up to
certain point, the action Of water taken
internally, in fevers, is excellent aside
from allaying irritation by quenching
thirst, it fushes the kidneys, carry
ing off much Of the eHete material
produced by the high temperature. 1t
has been found that the addition of Ger
tain substances to water greatly In
creases its power to quench thirst. This
is especially the case with acids. One
drachm Of hydrochloric acid added to a
quart Of water will give it sufficient
acidity to accomplish the desired pur-
pose, while, at the same time, it adds to
its pleasantness, and sometimes relieves
nausea. The use Of acids in fevers is
highly commended by some authors,
and this is, I think, the best way in
which to administer them. The same
amount Of sulphurous acid may be add
ed to quart of water when the bowels
are loose or there is a tendency that
way. In these cases acidulated barley
water is pleasant and nourishing. The
same may be said of toast water. In
constipation, oatmeal water may be used
in the same manner. A few tamarinds
added to glass of water will often as
suage thirst and open the bowels gently.
DR.. Ringer, speaking on this subject,
says: " Although, perhaps, not strictly
relevant to our present subject, few re,
marks may be made here conveniently
on the drinks best suited to fever pa
tients. To them, thirst is most impor
tant and distressing, often causing mucl
restlessness and irritability, these in theil
turn often increasing the fever. The ur
gent thirst must, therefore, be allayed
but if left to themselves, to satiate theil
craving, patients will always drink to ex
cess, which is very liable to disarrange
the stomach, impair digestion, produc'
hatulence and even diarrhea. Theory
and experience both show that drinks
made slightly bitter and somewhat acid
slack thirst most efectually. a weak in
fusion Of cascarilla or orange peel, acidu
lated slightly with hydrochloric acid
was, with Graves, Of Dublin, a favorit'
thirst-allaying drink for fever patients
Raspberry vinegar is useful drink
/ Sucking ice is very grateful. Swee
fruits, although at first agreeable AM
refreshing, must be taken with care ant
moderation, for they often give rise to
disagreeable taste, and are apt to pro
!. duce fatulence and diarrhea. .

moreover, sure to regulate to bowels.
In consequence of this article. Mrs.
Winslow is becoming world-renown-
ed as benefactor of her race: children
certainly do rise up and bless her;
