A Few Plain Truths.

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
water once or twice a week.
Pals and all vessels used in cham
bers should he rinsed thoroughly in
cold water, never in hot or lukewarm.
Stale lard can he made sweet by
bringing to boil. with slices of cold
raw potatoes thrown in. The i'm
purities will rise at the top and can
he skinned off
If one quart of milk is set in cool
place for twenty-four hours. it will
Weld enough cream well whipt with a
Dover egg beater, TO furnish ten cups
of strong coffee.
Pulverized 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, proper
I ~ applied. with a fair amount Of soap
or pearline, is the best thing to clean a
kitchen floor. The regulation "boler
suds" is apt TO make kitchen floor
greasy.
Feather beds and pillows would he

washed clean with cold water, then
rubbed dry with cloth wet in milk.
The same treatment applies 10 stone

To preserve goods from moths. do
not 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 large

Neuralgia Headache Of Women.

The increased, and apparently in
creasiug. frequency OF neuralgia head
ache among women. must needs have a
cause. There Is one of singular sim
plicity and quite obvious which has
been overlooked. and to which it is
worth while to draw attention. The
pain experienced is generally located in
one or more Of the branches of the sec
ond ccrvical nerve.yery commonly those
terminating il the scalp of the occiput
As a matter Of fact. the nerves of the
scalp are irritated by the hair being
drawn tightly back and put on the strain,
not as whole, in which case the strain
would be spread over a large area of
the surface, but by small bundles of
hair which are pulled back and held in
place by hairpins. Relief is often con-
sciously experienced as result of re-
moving the hairpins, but this has only
a temporary and partial effect. The
injury done is lasting. if not permanent,
in its consequences. The present style
of dressing the hair should be discon-
tinued, as it probably, in part at least,
accounts for the extreme prevalence of
form of suffering which is both in-
tractable and distressing.

India's Ieonoclast.

A curious destroyer OF human works
in India, according to DIR. r. F.
Hutchinson, is the peepal tree. This
is kind of fig, which multiplies be-
yond the power of man to destroy. it's
little seeds being sown broadcast over
the land in the droppings of the birds
and bats which feast on its fruit. The
peepal rises everywhere .pand its effect
is the disintegration of rocks and build
ings, the danger being SO great that
the keepers of large structures are
constantly on the watch during fig
time for bird droppings. As an illus
tration of what the tree may do and of
its wonderful vitality, it is stated that
on the summit of the northern minaret
of the great mosque of Bareilly, $50
feet high, peepal flourishes grandly
beyond reach, and its ever-active roots
are gradually breaking up the cupola
of the minaret.
