Many of the tooth powders sold in
the shops are deleterious in their effects
upon the teeth. A very simple denti-
frice is powdered chalk, either with or
without a small admixture of orris root.
1t is recommended also. by some who
have had experience, to rub the wet
brush over genuine white CASTLE soap
before dipping it into the chalk. By
this means the teeth may be kept very
white without injury.
I'm farm labor one has often to en-
counter hurtful amount of dust. A
simple and cheap protection from such
an annoyance is to get piece of sponge

mouth, hollow it out on one side with a
pair of scissors to fit the face, attach a
string to each side and tie it on. First
wet it well. and squeeze out most of the
water. Repeat this whenever the
sponge becomes dry. All the dust will

Eggs are lined by packing them in
liquid made as follows: A peck of
fresh lime is slaked in sufficient water
to make a thin paste. When thorough
ly slaked, which will require twenty
four hours, water is added to thin it so
that it can be strained through fine
sieveinto q clean barrel, which is then
filled with water, when the eggs, per-
fectly fresh, are laid carefully into Kegs
or barrels, and the stirred lime liquor Is
poured over them, board being floated
on the top to keep the eggs under the
surface. In this way the eggs may be
kept six months.

When this has once formed. it increases
rapidly. A contemporary says that one
of the most effectuai recipes for cleans
ing sponges, and certainly one of the
cheapest, is strong solution of salt
and water. in which they should soak
for a few hours, and then be thorough
ly dried. Sponges should not be left
in o sponge-dish; they should be kept
suspended where the air can freely
circulate around them. Quick evapora-
ton of the moisture is the main thing to
keep them in good order.
