THE HOUSEHOLD.

Use flour profusely to extinguish the
flames from kerosene.
Dry paths tend to comfort outside the
house and cleanliness within.
A wine-glass of strong borax water in a
pint of raw starch will make collars and
cuffs stiff and glossy.
Grained woods should be washed in
cold tea, and then, after being wiped dry,
rubbed with linseed OIL
When eggs are scarce cornstarch is a
good substitute; one tablespoonful of the
starch is equal to one egg.
Bent whalebones can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water a
few hours, then drying them.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly put
particle of the yolks with the whites, or
they will not froth nicely.
Tough beef is made tender by LAYING a
few minutes in vinegar water, or put a
spoonful of vinegar into the water in which
fowls or meats are boiling, and it will make
them tender.
To raise the pile of plush or velvet
dampen on the wrong side with clean cold
water, then hold tight across the face of
hot iron and rub up the crushed spot with
clean stiff brush.
Kerosene will remove spots from furni-
ture; it is excellent to clean oilcloth or
zinc. If you spill it in your clothes hang
them in the air and the spot and smell
will both soon disappear.
To keep lamp chimneys from breakino
put cloth in the bottom of pan, fill the
latter with cold water, and place the new
chimney in it; cover the pan and let its
contents boil one hour, then take from fire
and let the chimney remain in the water
until it is cold.
Spralns are among the most severe acct

Edison,s Baby and al. Phonorr,nn.

According to the New York Herald,
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, has been
interesting his inventive faculties with mis-
new baby and a monograph at his home.
When the baby crowed with glee, the crow
was registered on the monograph when
it got mad and yelled, its piercing screams
were irrevocably recorded on the same ma
chine. That monograph is now recep-
tacle of every known noise peculiar to ba-
byhood. 1t is Mr. Edison's intention TO
take record of the strength of the baby's
lungs every three months. I" will pre-
serve the record" said he, "until the child
becomes young lady. Then the phono-
graph can be operated for her benefit, and
she can see for herself just what kind of a
baby she was and won't have to take her
mothers and the nurses words for it.'i

what Is Needed In Our Public Schools.
To bring the public school training.
then, to some measure of what it should
be, from the standpoint both of urgent
public policy and fair return for the
money levied by taxation for its support,
three things are necessary. First, fully
to arouse the public mind to sense of the
proper general methods of teaching; sec
ond, to increase the number and efficiency
of the normal schools to the end that all
teachers shall, of necessity, have received
a normal school training; and third, to
offer such salaries and such pensions
or other rewards of long-continued,
faithful performance of duty, that
there shall be ample inducement for the
best men and best women to go into this
branch of the public service, and to ex-
pend therein their highest thought and
effort. None of my propositions are new
| have no startling and radical changes to
propose. l ask only for common sense in
the matter of child-rearing = the
common sense distinguishing Ameri-
can business methods, and, with reserva-
tons. American political systems, but
sadly lacking in questions of training
and education. No scheme of instruc-
tion, however, can be launched perfected.
Years of trial, of very patient and perse-
vering trial, must precede any decision,
and never ought any rigid system OF
teaching to be, under any circum-
stanes, adopted. Not only must general
methods be the result of years of
experiment, but they must be widely DIFF
ferentiated to suit the varying conditions
peculiarly divergent within the enormous
area of the United States-of climate,
and of physical and political circum-
stances. | assert, only, that in the
public school system, as generally un-
derstood and practiced, there are two
main defects and consequent trains of
evil, viz, those incident to the system of
grading. and those arising from the fact
that public education begins too late in the
child's life, and is carried too far towards
young manhood and womanhood.- Ne,-

cow to Keep onioas ANA Onion Sets.

If the onions are thoroughly ripe there
is no difficulty in keeping them till spring.
But if they are immature, with thick
green necks, the only way to keep them is
the old-fashioned method of Tracing"
Take two or three onions and tie them to-
gether with a string round the necks.
Then place another one on the trace and
wind the string round the neck, and then
another and another, till you have a
string or trace of onions yard long.
Hang this up in cool, dry room. If the
onions are perfectly ripe and dry, they can
be spread out four or FIVE inches thick on
shelves, or on the floor of an airy room.
If somewhat green, but free from ;'sculi-
ions" spread them out thinner, and turn
occasionally till you get them dry and
firm.
If you do not want to sell or use the
onions till spring convenient wav to
keep them is to put them in a dry place
and let them freeze. All that is necessary
IS to keep them dry and prevent their
thawing. They will come out of their
winter quarters fresh and firm, and will
keep just as well as those that have not
been frozen. When wanted for sale during
the winter a good plan is to keep the
onions in Slated boxes. Keep them in a
cool, dry room, not in damp cellar. The
boxes can be piled on top of each other
and in rows with an. inch or so of space
between them for ventilation.
Onion sets are easy or difficult to keep
according to their quality If they have
long, slim bulbs with many green tops the
better plan is either to throw them away
or spread them out to dry in an airy room
and then on the approach of winter place
them on shelves or on a floor six inches
deep and let them freeze. Cover with bags
or mating or anything that will keep
them from thawing. In this way you will
get some good sets for your own use, but
they will seldom be good enough for the
trade.
Good onion sets should be dead ripe in
September or early in October. A good
set is perfectly formed onion in minia-
ture. 1t is round, plump fat little
onion with the neck or top withered up
to almost nothing. If possible draw them
in when the weather is dry and hot and
run them through a tanning mill to
sift out the sand and dirt and blow away
the dried-up leaves of the onions or weeds
or any other rubbish that may be with
them. 1t is better to do this when the
onions come in dry from the field
on hot day rather than to wait; for
the leaves will be drier then than
if kept for some time and allowed
to sweat. After the dirt and leaves are
got rid OF, spread the onions out then to
dry and keep them dry till winter sets in.
During winter they can be kept frozen or
placed on shelves in cool, dry room. or
in boxes or even in barrels. The great
point is to keep them dry and cold. If
warm and damp, they are apt to start to
grow. Onion sets are a highly profitable
crop, but there are comparatively few who
succeed in raising them to perfection. If
we'll grown, they are easily kept and sold.
They are always in demand in the spring,
and the market is rarely overstocked with
them -Er

The Pure Food Moyemenl

AND now the report comes from Chicago
that the adulteration of honey with glu-
cose has become SO extensive and injurious
to the interests of dealers in the pure pro-
duct OF the bee, that a well organized
movement is on foot to secure Federal leg
islation patterned after the oleomargarine
law and imposing prohibitory tax upon
spurious honey. The advocates of action
TO suppress misrepresentation and fraud in
the sale of food products have laudable
object IN view, but adopt false methods
when they accept the oleomargarine law
as their model So far as the Federal
Government has power to check the abuses
and shameful receptions practiced in food
authorizations, it must be done through
some broad and comprehensive pure food
law, drawn in spirit of Justice and fair
pess to all, free from the suspicion of dis
examination between rival trade interests.
and designed to exercise the power of the
general Government, as far as it legiti-
mately extends, in behalf of honest BUSH
ness practices, to protection of public
health and morals and the integrity of
commercial transactions at home and in
our foreign trade. Congress has clearly
slgnified willingness to adopt such legisla-
ton whenever the commercial interests of
the country unite on proposition dealing
with the subjects fairly and broadly. Dis
eliminating tax law, however, and attempts
to cripple one interest for the benefit of
another, and in violation of the funda-
mental principles of our Government.
cannot lead to other results than scandal
and failure.
The advocates of pure food legislation
should avail themselves of the brief inter
mission between the present and the next
session of Congress to mature their plans
and harmonic their views. The proposi-
ton upon which they unite must comply
with the general principles to which we
have referred. 1t must be in harmony
with the Constitution and with the rules
OF fair play, and if an effective law is
drafted with these limitations, the Federal
and State Legislatures should be besieged
until 1t is adopted and carried fully into
effeet.--N. 7. Commercial Bulletin.
