Take whitewash brush of about the
medium height and dip it in the liquid prep
aration. Next carefully remove the surplus
by gently pressing the brush against the
side of the pail You can ther stand on the
piano and apply the solution to the ceiling,
little at time. If you do this, however,
do not forget and step forward into the works
of the piano or set the pail on the strings
while you are at work. After you have
been at work for a few moments, and got
your sleeves well filled with whitewash, you
may empty them back into the pail. thus
saving the surplus, which otherwise might
be wasted. Care should be used in scattering
oil paintings and bric-a-brac on the walls.
Some oil paintings look better spattered with
whitewash, while others do not. For this
reason a keen discrimination is necessary,
and every man may not succeed with the
brush.
Whitewash b may be removed from the eye
by the judicious use of muriatic acid which
cuts the lime and purifies the eye itself re-
moving any animal substance also that
may have fallen into the socket, including
the eye itself.
Maple sugar may be made by squeezing
the juice out of the maple tree and boiling
it down to about tie consistency of the
spring poem. The maple flavor is not in
furious to the taste, and does not interfere
with the popularity of this justly celebrated
dope for the hot pancake Much maple
syrup and sugar grow in Vermont, and l
have often wondered what becomes of this
healthful beverage. Why maple syrup.

flowers. Most any lady can readily paint
these flowers in any design, or at least a
great many seem to think they can The
flowers may be any variety which fanc-

pond lilies or forget-me-nots, and, if they do
not look just light they may be erased

A design to which my attention has bee
recently called consists CT unique. i'm ro-
vised flower, composed by young lady who
is destined to make her mark some day, un-
less some one interferes Sh. has already
made her mark in several places in fact. but
these flowers certainly deserve something
more than mere passing notice They are
not copied from the monotonous an tedious
uniformity SO much affected in nature, but
they stand out by themselves and attract
the attention at once, because of their bold
originality. Instead of copying nature, and
thus becoming tiresome, she has constructed
a flower that is a cross between rose cancer
and ginger cooky. 1t grows on perpen-
dicular stem that looks like dark green
hat rack with buds on it, that remind the en-
raptured spectator of an aggravated felon on
a dark red thumb, just peeping out of pale
green, weather beaten bandage.
Nothing so bold in conception or SO utterly
free from conventionality has come within
my range of observation for years The
infiammatory condition of the blossom itself,
the bold and mathematically perpendicular
po Sc of the stem, and the early stages Of
eruption visible in the complexion of the
bud, challenge the admiration of the philan-
thropist and the board of health.
1t stands out as a work Of art, alone and
safe from imitation. 1t certainly has never
been successfully initiated by nature, and l
do not think it ever will be. While nature
loves to give us freaks now and then, may

as though it had been nailel on the parent
stem with shingle nails, while the foliage
it would seem was cut out of sheet iron and
riveted to the curtain by the hand Of a
master. 1t is one of those meek-eyed, fragile
blossoms of the vale, that you could success
fully use in beating out mans brains.-
