For Young Mem TO Remember

That clothes d ut maxi the man.
That if they once get in bebt they
may never get out Of it.
That parting 'he hair in the middle
brings On s,ftening Of the brain
That to deal honorably with Al
men they begin with their washer
woman.
That they need something NOR,
substantial than cigars, kid gloves ant
cane in order to b. able to begin
housekeeping.
That they cannot reckon on theil
fathers fortune to brlug them through
life. Fortunes are slippery things
better have something besides to fal
back on.
That a girl who decks herself il
the lates! things out and parades il
the street while her mother does the
washing, isn't worth wasting mucf
love on.
That fellow who deliberately pro-
proposes matrimony to girl wheI
he can support himself. is either
frst-class fraud or a ol-unless he
marries for money and becomes he

1t soothes and cools a ieverish
patient TO battle him with warm wa
ter in which little salaratus has
been dissolved.
Roasted coffee is one of the most
powerful disinfectants, not only rem
dering animal and vegetable etfiuvla

them.
If tie brass top Of kerosene
lamp has come off, it my be repair
ed with plaster OF Paris wet with a
little water, and will be as strong
as ever.
To beat the whites ofeggs quick
ly, put in a pinch Of salt. The
cooler the eggs, the quicker they
will froth. Salt ccols and also fresh
ems them.
In caring Tor furniture remember
TO keep water away from every
thing soluble therein, oil from

An attack Of indigestion, caused

sage, steam it in a quart OF soft
water, strain it off into tight bot
tie. SpOrge the head with this tea
frequently, weiiing the roots of the

Poison Of any kind swallowed will
be at once thrown from the stomach
by drinking half a glass of warm
water in which a teaspOontul or
ground mustard has teen stirred.
As soon as vomiting ceases, drink
a cup of strong coffee, in which has
been put the white OF an egg. This
neutralizes any remains Of the pois-
on which the mustard may have
lett.
A way 10 cure bleeding at the
nose, vouched for by scientific gen.
, tlemen, is by the vigorous motion
