Care of Our Beds.

MY first suggestion in regard to the care
of feather beds, and mattresses as well
is that they should be thoroughly protect
ed by mechanical means, from the exhala-
tons of the sleeper. and from coming into
contact with local objects which NAV
mar their outward cleanliness or appear
ance. As tar as observation extends, this
idea has not obtained to any extent among
housekeepers; but my own experience of
twenty five years with beds and mattresses
used during this period, makes me regret
that could not have started with the sug-
gestions which now desire to offer
others, and especially to the young
housekeeper. Every feather-bed and mat
tress should be provided with second
tick or casing. enclosing it firmly and en-
tirely. This should be made of material
which can be thoroughly cleansed by
washing and boiling. and should be re-
moved for this purpose, would suggest
firm. coarse. unbleached cotton cloth.
This will prevent soil of the mattress as
it is daily lifted for airing, (by servants
whose hands or clothing may not
always be too clean) and will
prevent injury to the fabric, as
the bed is carried through doors from
room to room, to the piazza or open yard
for weekly summing. This will form the
second layer of protection from infection.
For further and complete protection two
under sheets should always be used, made
OF firm. durable material. The upper
sheet of the two should invariably be
changed weekly, and never substituted
for the one lying next the mattress case.
The nethermost sheet ought to be changed
at least bi-monthly, while both sheets
coming in contact with the sleeper require
weekly changes. The mattress or feather
bed should be daily exposed to full drafts
of air, sunlight, and if possible, to actual
sunshine. These are effectual disinfect-
ants. At least, once week, the bed
should be carried out of doors and allowed
to bask in the pouring sunshine for two or
three hours. The mattress should be lift
ed every morning, allowing it to remain
on its ends at least an hour, while the
pure air from the open windows circulates
above and beneath it. This daily process
will prevent the mating or sogging of
the hair and feathers.-MRs. L. j. X.

A Few Plain Truths.
For PLAIN AND PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEP.
ERS.

Egg shells will settle coffee as surely as
eggs. but they do not impart the richness
and flavor.
In warm weather, refrigerator closets
should be washed with soda and cold wa
ter once or twice week.
Pals and all vessels used in chambers
should be rinsed thoroughly IN cold water,
never in hot or lukewarm.
Stale lard can be made sweet by bring
ing to boil, with slices of cold raw po-
tatoes thrown in. The impurities will
rise at the top and can be skinned off.
If one quart of milk is set in a cool
place for twenty-fOur hours, it will yield
enough cream. well whipt with Dover
egg beater, to furnish ten cups strong
coffee Pulverised borax. sprinkled on
shelves and in corners OF store-closets, is
safeguard from ants. If pulverized
borax is mixed with Persian powder, the
powder will be more effective.
Cold water and plenty of it. properly
applied, with fair amount of soap or
pearlne, is the best thing to clean kitch-
en- floor. The regulation ''boiler suds" is
apt to make kitchen floor greasy.
Feather beds and pillows would be very
much freshened and lightened If left out
in a drenchng rain every spring; they
should then be exposed to the sun and all
on every side until perfectly dry.
Oicloths should never be washed in
hot soapsuds; they should first be washed
clean with cold water, then rubbed dry
with cloth wet in milk. The same
treatment applies to stone or slate
hearth.
To preserve goods from moths, do moi
use camphor in any form. Pieces OF tar
paper laid in fur boxes and in closets are
better protection. Five cents will buy
enough to equip all the packing boxes and
closets of a large house for year.
Ginghams and prints will keep their
color better if washed in water thickened
with flour starch. Flour is very cleans
ing and will do the work of soap in one or
two washings in the starch water. This,
with the rinsing will be sufficient, and the
goods will look iresher than if washed and
starched in the old-fashioned way.
A fine frostlng can be made of one cup
graduated sugar and One-fOurth cup
milk. without egg or gelatine. Method.
Stir sugar into milk over a slow fire till
it boils boil five minutes without stirring
remove from fire; set saucepan in cold
water or on ice. while you stir it to a
cream. Spread on cake while it will run.
The advantages of this frosting are that il
will keep longer than the egg or gelatine
frosting, and it will cut without breaking
or crumbling. Flavor to suit the taste. it
is excellent.
