put little over a cup Of rnolasses in a

pour out on creased pans. It is just
splendid. Will you tell Charity Sweet.

CRACKED CEILING. Take plaster Of
Paris and mix with water; make it as
stiff as plastering and apply with q
towel or anything that will make it
smooth. Mix but a small quantity at a
time as it hardens quickly and then can
not be used. I spent several days
'no,1nted on table mending my walls,
'5ut it proved effectual, and row after
Twelve years they are as nice as new. If
ihe cracks are very large portion of
white sand may be used with the plaster
# Paris" This mixture is much better
han mortar for filling cracks, as it does
not shrink. It is much better, says an
other correspondent, than putty for fill
ng nail holes in plastering.

A SMOOTH SK1N.-A. B. G. wants
good wash that will prevent a breaking
out on the skin. The best we know is
water, applied both internally and ex-
ternally: Externally every morning
with soap and sponge, internally sever
al times day unauthorized with tea Or
coffee. The food should be simple, nu-
tritious, taken at regular intervals and
at not less than three hours before 60
ing to, bed at night The sleep should
be in a we'll ventilated room and in q
we'll aired bed. Exercise in the open
air should be abundant and regular.
IF these simple directions do not make
the skin smooth then A. B. G. should
consult a physician.
In Dublin lately the following illus
tration was given of the Importance of
ventilation:
"The lecturer explained that the most
leloterious products of non-ventilation
are the myriads of disease germs which
exists in vitiated air, and by experiment
showed the excess Of deadly carbonic-
acid which breathing or combustion
leaves behind. Three small candles
placed at different heights in large
glass jar open at the top we1a lit, and
gradually as the layer of carbonic acid
gas reached them, they somouldered
out: The JAZZ being thus filled with the
carbonic gas, this in turn was poured
into smaller jar wherein candle was
light. The latter was at once extin
guished."
PRESERVING BOUQUETS "A very SIM
pie and effective method of preserving
q bouquet is as follows: Sprinkle it with
fresh water, and then immense the stalks
in vessel containing soapsuds, remov-
ing the bouquet every morning, and
placing it in fresh water for few min
utes. After sprinkling the flowers
lightly with fresh water return them to
the soapsuds. This process, repeated
day by day, will cause the bouquet to
preserve it's bloom. The soapsuds
should be changed every third day.
