To CLEAN PAINT-There is a very
simple method to clean paint that has
become dirty, and, if our housewives
should adopt it, it would save them a
great deal of trouble. Provide plate
with some of the best whiting to be had,
and have ready some clean warm water
and a piece of flannel, which dip into
the water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhear to
it. apply it to the painted surface, when
little rubbing will instantly remove
any dirt or grease. After which wash
the part we'll with clean water, rubbing
it dry with soft channels. Paint thus
cleaned looks rs we'll as when first put

icate colors. 1t is far better than us
ing soap and does not require more
than half the time and labor.
A CURE FOR Bous.-Arsenic in small
doses is one of the best agencies known
for the cure Of many forms of skin
diseases, and in the British Medical Jour
nal, Mr.. J. Hutchinson, senior surgeon
of the London hospital, reports wond-
erful cure of the plague of boils by
means of the same remedy. The pa
tent was covered from head to foot
with boils, and was in a miserable state
from pain. The mucous membrane,
as we'll as the skin proper was affected.
The patient was kept in bed a few days
without treatment, in order that 1t
might be demonstrated that his con-
dition was not improving. Instead Of
improving it grew worse. Then with
ont chan ging diet, he was given q few
drops of tastless solution of arsenic
three times day. In few days near
" all the boils had dried and there
were no fresh ones.
