HINTS TO ~HOUSEKEEPERS.

Electric. silicon powder is very nice for
polishing brass.
Sprinkle cayenne pepper in the resorts
of rats, and they will leave the premises.
White and pale shades of paint may be
beautifully cleaned by using whiting in
the water.
Good eggs may be quickly designated
by their dull shell and clean appearance.
An old or stale egg, as a rule, has a dull
porous-looking shell.
Much sickness in farmers families in
winter is due to keeping large quantities
of potatoes and other vegetables stored
under sleeping-rooms.
To clean oil paintings, first brush them,
then wash with warm milk diluted with
water; rub with a piece of flannel dipped
in turpentine and then with a dry flannel.
Plenty of clothespins should be kept
handy. Have a box for these and drop
them in the suds once in a while, and
then wipe them dry, as they are apt to
get dusty and soil the clothes.
To keep green vegetables for a day or
two, sprinkle with water, and place them
on a cellar floor. Fruit should not be
kept in the cellar, but put out singly and
stood in a dark, dry, cool place.
more quickly than any other vegetables;
they should be spread out singly on the
cool cellar floor as quickly as possible
after they come from the market.
Malaria is due to microbes, which reach
their victims either from the air, 10y in
halation, or from drinking water which
has absorbed them. Boil the water, avoid
the night air, sleep in the higher rooms
of the house, and guard against all eX-

cold water, and stir in a little baking
soda; drink while it foams. To be taken

also relieve the sick headache, if taken in
the beginning.
To remove iron rust or ink spots,
moisten the spots, and apply salts Of
lemon until they disappear, and then
rinse we'll. Salts of lemon are made of
equal parts of oxalic acid and tartaric
acid. Another way is to moisten with
lemon JUICE, sprinkle well with salt, and
lay in the sun.
With a little care every part Of stale
bread can be utilized. All the odds and
ends of crusts should be spread evenly on
a pan, and allowed to dry in a warm oven.
When quite dry, put them in a small bag
made of ticking or canvas, and pound
them fine with a mallet. Sift them, and
put them in empty fruit cans. They will
keep for months, and can be used for
breading meats, fish, croquettes, omelettes

CHEAT.
NOME

NOME SCARBOROUGH.
Sowing for the reapers, hoping for a gain,
Gathering in at harvest shows more cheat than
grain;
Counting friends In summer, in the balmy days;
Winters frosts and bIlzzards dissolves life's misty
maze.
Looking in the future, building an airy dome;
Dolorous transient fancy, idle, idle foam.
Toiling, working, thinking, perplexing heart and
brain,
Daily, hourly proving, earthly things are vain.
Sunshine meditation, thoughts of midnight shade,
Sketches hopeful pictures all too fair; they fade.
Pleasures oft expected, as shadows only cheat,
Each stage in life enacted, these failures oft repeat,
Each heart is a living sorrow, each life a living lie.
