FOREIGN CAPITAL.

A great many people here are
dreadfully afraid of national borrow
ing. They think it must end in in
creased taxation, and take no account
Of the increased capacity to bear taxa
zion, which the importation of foreign
capital gives to every progressive
country that makes the construction
Of needed public works by the aid Of
borrowed money, a part of its policy.
Ina Commercial Retrospect Of 1884,
which appears in the Sydney Morning
Herald, after recital of the serious
loss sntailed on the colony of New
South Wales by drought of unpre-
cedented severity, the writer gives the
brighter side of the picture, and goes
on to say 1.-THE chief ameliorating
influence on the condition of what
would probably have otherwise been
a distressed community, has been the
large introduction and expenditure of
foreign capital. The Government
alone has borrowed between five and
six millions sterling, and expended a
considerable part of it on railways and
other reproductive works; at the time
when the distress was greatest, find
ing work for many unemployed. A
considerable amount of capital also
has been introduced by the banks and
private capitalist, and has gone largely
70 the relief of squatters and those re-
curing pecuniary accommodation.
The easy money market thus pro-
duced has stimulated enterprise,
which had been checked by the high
rates ruling at the beginning of the
year"

Consumption is the blighting plague OF

the land, it is stealing away from our
homes thousands of the brightest and

disease is taken in time, its terrible raw

Ayers Cherry Pectoral. Prot. F. Sweet

produced no other anodyne expectorant

securing; and stove will not need black
ing so often if now and then rubbed with
paper. Scraps of writing paper or that
used on one side only may be utilized in
several ways. Bowls and glasses without
covers may be used for jelly, by cutting a
round of paper the size of the top, dip in
brandy and press down evenly upon the
jelly, cut another cover of softer paper
large enough to paste down on the outside
of the jar. Paper in bread and cake tins,
protects the loaf from burning and in
sures its safe removal from the tin, by
this help tin with holes in it may be
used. Laid over loaf OF cake in the oven
paper is also protection, but unless it is
warmed first the cake may settle. Cut
in strips and curled with the scissors,
writing paper makes a good filing for
pillows for hammocks. or the large pill
lows sometimes used to show off the
elaborate ''shams." Postal cards and
thin pasteboard can be cut in strips for
lampighters; newspapers for the same
use are cut in strips and rolled.

Uses to which Paper may be Put.

Paper, being air-tight, will exclude cold
and should be used more than it now is :;
builders place paper between the boards
and clapboards of a house and we should
do we'll to follow their example in smaller
matters. Farmers have found that the
extra warmth secured by lacking several
thicknesses of newspapers around the in
side of hen-houses, etc ., has saved extra
food. A layer of paper under carpet. is
preferable to straw, which is sometimes
used, and if the paper made for this pur-
pose cannot be obtained. several LAYERS
OF newspaper will do nearly as well.
Papers spread between bed coverings will
take the place of extra blankets A folded
paper is an excellent lung protector; one
over the chest and another around the
shoulders, under the outside garment
would often save a cold and perhaps pneu-
monia. Dissolved in flour paste, news
papers make useful filling for cracks in
floors aud elsewhere. Scraps of paper,
wet and scattered over the floor, when
sweeping, will save the dust in the room
as well "a brighten the carpet. Bits of
paper. with soap suds, are effectual in
cleaning bottles, and are easily removed
with the water. Greasy dishes and kettles
if first rubbed with paper. wash much
easier; the paper absorbs the grease and
is all the better for Kindling the fire. A
grease spot can often be taken out of a
carpet or garment by placing two or three
layers of paper over it, then put warm
iron on the paper. The heat softens the
grease and the paper absorbs it. and by
changing paper and iron occasionally all
the grease will disappear. Soft news
papers or tissue paper is preferable to
cloth for cleaning lamp chimneys, win
dows. mirrors, etc., - it leaves no line !;
also for knives, spoons and tinware after

The Philosophy of Dish-TOweli

1t is not very aesthetic subject. but the
good housekeeper is not or at least should
not be IN aesthetic, and of all thing neces-
sary to well arranged kitchen the dish
towel is one of the most indispensable,
and might as well be philosophic, as that
is assuredly the way in which the little
article is generally looked at. | say lit
tie, for OF all things do detest great big
dish-towel that approximates the size OF
tablecloth. The right size is a yard long
and halt as wide, with the ends hemmed.
As to material, different housekeepers
have different views.-some sickle for
crash toweling. and some prefer one thing
and some another. But my idea is that il
really makes but very little difference as
to this point, If the cloth is soft. pliable,
and without stiffness. An old, half-worn
tablecloth, cut up into the right sized
pieces, does as well as something bought
out of the store for the purpose. For
pans, kettles, and the like, coarse bag,
| like that which meal or salt comes In, Is
frst-rate when cut and hemmed. In one
corner work button hole to hang it by,
and it is done. think that there should
be six of them, although not more than
two or three need be in the kitchen at one
time. As to the use OF it need not write
here, as dishwashiDg is a subject that re-
uuires an entire article to itself. But the
towel having been used, there comes in the
philosophy as the next thing. 1t is of impOr-
ance that the towel should be kept clean
and sweet, for, however nice the the wash
ing of the dishes may have been done. the
work is all spoilt if they are wiped on a
sour towel. 1t is really Derplexing to one
who is beginner, and to many who are
not novices, to know how to keep the
towel so that it will smell good. Now,
my way is this: In my dish-water never
use soap, but instead of it employ pear
line, which is easily dissolved. Soap of
itself will contaminate both the towel and
the dishes. no matter what soap it is. No
soap-suds do | want on my dishes. But
/. of course, rinse them just the same. In
my rinsing- pan am also equally notonal,
and have lukewarm clear water. After
the LAST dish is wiped put into this pan
a spoonful of the pearline, and in it wash
out my towel and dish cloth. Do not make
the mistake of washing it in the dish
water! The towel being properly washed.
bang it out OF doors on line, which |
have for that purpose, near the kitchen
door In the winter | hang it near the
range.
That IS all there is about dish-towels
any one needs to know, except that when
Monday comes the towels in use during
the past week 90 into the wash-tub, from
whence they should come out as neat and
nice as if they were to be used in the bath
room, or in dispensing the most negative
philosophy that is good for the house
keeper. Good Housekeeping.

The latest novelty in purses in Paris is
a babv's boot crOcheted in silk.
Siberian cats now crowd the Maltese

Lovely little wastepaper baskets can be

coal of copal varnish, and held in the
center by twist and bow Of yellow and
garnet satin ribbons The inside may be
lined or not, as fancy dictates.
A very soft and pretty fringe for home
made rugs is to be obtained by travelling
out the good parts of old stockings and
mittens. The crinkled appearance is its
pretty feature. and it lasts for years under
ordinary wear. Excellent effects are OBJ,

Novel Use for Wooden Buckets

A novelty in scrap baskets is made of

buckets would do as well as any. A wide
space around the top and bottom is nicely
gilded. and the middle part covered with
a broad band of plush or velvet, either or
namented or plain. The inside has bag
lining of satin. The cover, if one is want
ed, can be treated to correspond
