OHMDREE's bibs are made of the OBJ
long monte cloth towels with borders.
These are cue out to fit the neck, and
ornamented with some of the many pre-
vailing scenes out of child life in outline
stitch.
GREASE spots may be removed from
paper by applying little powdered
plpe-clay, on which is placed sheet of
soft white paper then use hot iron.
The adhering powder may be removed
with piece of India rubber.
THERE is nothing better to clean win
dow glass with than chamois skin.
Wash the skin carefully first; after
washing the glass, rinse the skin, wiring
it dry and wipe the glass with If. No
other polishing need be required.
CEMENT FOR FANCY WoRK.--Mix the
best powdered rice with little cold
water; then gradually add boiling water
till proper consistence is acquired,
being careful to keep it well stirred ali
the time; last it must be boiled for one
minute in clean saucepan. This paste
is beautifully white, almost transparent
and well adapted for fancy paper work
or other things requiring strong and
colorless cement.
THE LINEN BAe.-An excellent plan
to save old napkins and table-cloths is
to cut out the good parts and put them
away in bag, appropriately labeled, and
have them ready for use in case of sick
ness. A housewife whose system is so
complete that it is hard to believe she
has lived on earth only about forty years
gives this advice, and she says also that
we should keep another bag, with pieces
OF flannel, and another with old cotton
cloth, for the same purpose.
A WRITER in German paper states
that it is custom in the offices in that
country to have sliced potato on the
desk in commercial houses. He does
not state whether the esculent should be
raw or not, but the probability is that
it is boiled. The use Of the potato is to
clean steel pens and generally act as
pen-wiper. It removes all ink crust and
gives peculiarly smooth flow to the
ink. He also states that the Hamburg
clerks pass new pens two or three times
through gas flame and then the ink
will flow freely.
The CARE OF TOWELS. Never put
new towel in the wash until you have
overcast the fringed edge. The use of
this Is obvious the moment one is told
of it, though dozen towels might be
worn out before one would discover it.
Il, when towels are washed, the fringe
is shaken well before they are hung up
to dry, the fresh appearance will be pre-
served for long time. Ii vigorously
shaken, that is all that is necessary
otherwise it is best to have the laundrese
whip the fringe over the clean back of
kitchen chair. This is much better
than any combing process. Beside, it
does not wear the fringe SO much.
KEROSENE HORSE IMMINENT. An old
recipe says: g. It is not as generally
known as it ought to be that kerosene
oil is one of the very best remedies for
strains or bruises that can be applied to
the flesh of beasts. I know an instance
In which q young colt got cast on its
back in a manager; when taken out it
was utterly unable to stand or move it's
mind limbs and so continued for some
time, when two or three applications of
the oil. twelve hours between, complete
" restored it. This and similar facts
led me, when studying drugs several
years ago, to concoct the following,
which l named Kerosene Iiniment
Kerosene Oil, one ounce aromat. spirits

thing of its kind for bruises, soreness OF
the muscles from any cause, or nervous
pains. It's value, however, will best be
known by its use. Many prescription
has been sold for $50 which, compared
with this, was not worth the paper it
was written on. Equally good for beast
