COpperas mixed with the whitewash up
on the cellar walls will keep vermin
away.-Ceiiings that have been smoked
by kerosene lamp should be washed
off with soda water.-Good fires should
be kept up during house-cleaning time,
even though the doors and windows be
kept open.-Drain pipes and all places
that are sour or impure may be cleanscd
with lime water, cOpperas water. or
carbolic acid.-A little chloride of lime
dissolved in warm water, and left in a
lamp or can which has held kerosene,
will deodorize it very soon.-Salt liber-
ally sprinkled over carpet before
sweeping will absorb the dust and dirt,
and bring out the colors as fresh as
new.-If stove polish is mixed with very
strong soap-suds, the luster appears inn
mediately, consequently there is less
dust to breathe and blackcn.-If the
wall about the stove has been smoked
by the stove, cover the black patches

with finely-powdered fuller's earth
and warm water afterward rinsing it
well in clean water. A little soap may
be added to the water instead of fuller's
earth. The same plan is recommended
for cleaning glass. Thick brown paper
should be laid under carpets if the pat
ent lining is not to be had; it saves the
wear of the fabric and prevents the in
road of moths, which, however, will
seldom give trouble if salt is sprinkled
around the edge when the carpet is laid.

to walls, every crevice should be filled
with plaster or cement. For the cal

SEVEN POINTS FOR BOYS.

Be honest, my boy, be honest, say;
Be honest at work, be honest at play:
The same in the dark as when in the light:
The next thing you need is knowledge, my
boy:
These virtues, indeed, your time should em.
ploy;
Let knowledge display integrity. too,
And you'll seldom say: 1--WE nothing to do. "
But work calls for action, muscle and will:
Boys must "get up and get,'' their station to
fill;
And boys should be active as ever they can
A dull, stupid boy grows to dull, stupid
man.
But simple activity will not suffice;
Some shrewd active boys are shirks in dis
guiSe;
They mark all the moves the Industrious do,
But don't care fig to push business through.
The next thing in order--avoiding display
Is boys should be careful to hear and obey,
Not even preSuming to make reply.
Nor, muttering. say: I'm go by and BY
Hut promptly obey, with a hearty good will,
Attempting, at least, the whole order to I'LL.
Again: Be not fitful, but stick to your work
Never let it be said that you are shirk;
But when any task is fairly begun,
Be honest, be wise and Industrious, too;
Be active. obedient, obligng and true;
Be faithful in all things, be clean you can,
Polite in your manners, and you'll be man.

arranged that steam can be introduced

steam ultimately exhausting into the
