Household Hints.

A warm bath at night, taking special
care to avoid any chill after, will fire.
quently break up sudden cold.
Oxalie acid will almost always re
move stains left by mud which cannot
be removed with soap and water.
Grease spots may be removed from
wall paper by putting clean blntting pa
per over them and press with hot fiat
iron.
Breakfast bacon is very nice broiled
and served with mashed potatoes and
corn mullins and coffee for the morning
meal.
If you are troubled with white worms
in -FOUR flower pots, stick in the earth
half dozen or more unIighted matches,
points down; it will kill them.
If potatoes are to be cooked with their
Jackets a coarse cleth put into the water
to rub them with not only makes them
cleaner, but saves time and the hands.
If bedstead creaks at each move
ment of the sleeper, remove the Stats
and wrap the ends of each in old news
paper. This will prove complete ST.
encer. and is well worth the trouble.
Sponges which are to be used in the
bath ro IN may be softened by boiling
for tew minutes in three waters.
After each time of boiling put on the
stove again in a pan of cold water.
One way to prepare onion flavoring
fer vegetable soup is to take large
onion, remove the outer skin, then stick
cloves into the onion and bake it until
it is nicely broAned. The peculiar fla
vOr thus gained is relished by the cpl
cure.
Befor beginning to iron, sprinkle the
table IL itifully with water and lay on
th,- ironing blanket. This will hold it
firmly in place and prevent all wrinkles
and showing about Nevert try to iTon
with a blanket having wrinkles or
punches.
A small vial. with a tightly-ftting
cork, can be kept in the work basket or
sewing machine, and all broken needles
put into it. 1t saves the annoyance of
getting up from your work TO take care
of then, and. if left lying around, they
often cause serious trouble.

POETRY.
The Coast Guard.

Dc you wonder what I am seeing,
In the heart or the hre, aglow
Like cliffs in golden sunset.
With a summer sea belowg
] see, away 10 the eastward,
The line OF storm-beat coast,
And 1 hear the tread OF. the hurrylhe
waves
Like the tramp Of mailed host.
And ND and down in the darkness, e
And over the frozen sand,
hear the men OF the coast-guard
Pacing along the strand.
Beaten by storm and tempest,
And drenched by the pelting rain,
From the shores of Carolina,
To the wind swept bays OF Maine.
No matter what storms are raging,
No matter how wild the night,
The CLEAN of their swinging lanterns
Shines out with friendly light.
And many a shipwrecked sailor
Thanks God, with his gasping breath
For the sturdy arms of the surfmen
That drew him away from death.
And so, when the wind is wailing,
And the air grows dim with sleet,
l think of the fearless watchers
Pacing along their beat
l think of the wreck, fast breaking
In the surf of rocky shore.
And the life boat leaping onward
To the stroke of the bending oar.
[ hear the shouts of the sailors,
The boom Of the frozen sail,
And the creak of the icy halyards,
StraininR against the gale.
Courage" the captain trumpets,
"rhey are sending help from landF
God bless the men of the coast guard,
And hold their lives in his hand!
Emily Huntington Miller, in ST. Mich
oias for March.

French miliners import every variety
of shape in ha aud bOnnets, peaked and
square crowns, bIimmed and brimless
capotrs, half cottage honnets and large
MiguOns.
Evening dresses of great taste and ele-
gance are made of the new ecru batistes
nearly covered by gold or silver figures
that make them look like cloths of gold
or silver; but this stuff comes among
millinery goods only.

The West Winds Blowing.

A little bird few,a the wind blew west,
Tossing the handful of feathers down.
An! little one, pray, when you left the
nest.
What did you seek, in the dull old town
The happy bird sang the song guessed
81 spread my wings, and the winds knew
best"
Gay buttercup lassies. courtseying low,
Daisy lips kissing your sunburnt cheek,
So stately your lovers fain would know
What sped the wOoing-hoyden hearts,
speak.
The buttercups nod, 1 know the rest
"We grew together. the wind blew west.
The wind is truant, blowing at will.
Love is rover, oft journeying:
But brave songs are trilling Ger mead
and hill,
Golden and sweet is loves offering.
Two hearts lean over, the winds blow
west
All, sweet one, say, does the wind know
best2
