CARE OF REFRleERAToRs.
Mrs. M. L. CAYNE.

How to Keep them Neat, Clean and Sweet
Points for Houselscepers.
During the warm weather the refrig-
orator comes in for a good share OF at.
tention. Aside from its usefulness, o
good refrigerator is nice piece of far
niture, and an ornament to any home,
yet it takes but very little neglect to
render it any thing but ornamental. As
a piece of furniture it should be cared
for as conseientiously as any other Of
the household furnishings, yet few
housewives recognize this fact 1t is
usually slowed away in some out-of-
the-way inconvenient place, and the
only care it gets is an occasional clean
ing out of the inside.
Keep it in cool, dry place, in the
dining-room, unless u pantry is more
convenient, but it is not advisable to
keep it in a cellar, as is often done, for
there are few cellars that are not some
what damp, and when put In such
places it does not take very long to
ruin the refrigerator
Always keep the ice-box clean as far
as you can, and never allow ice to be
placed in it that has at first been
washed Off. Insist that your iceman
wash his ice ere putting in the box, and
it will be much easier to keep clean.
Never allow the ice to be wholly gone
ere getting in more, for twice the
quantity of ice will be required to cool
the refrigerator than ordinarily Never
put anything warm in the ice-chest, but
lay aside in cool place until cold.
Never put in anything that is not per-
feetly fresh, and remove anything bear
ing the least indications OF faint, for
butter or milk absorbs anything of this
kind very readily It is much better
where there is a separate compartment
for the butter and milk, as they keep
much better when placed by them
selves and retain their original flavor,
which they seldom do when occupying
place with other eatables
Once week, at the least the refrig-
orator should receive thorough
cleaning. Take out all the victuals
and place in a cool place, covering
them over to protect them from dust.
II there is any ice in it take it out and
roll in several thicknesses of old flannel
or heavy bagging, and put in a cool
place. Remove all the shelves and any
adjustable apartments, and wash in
warm ammonia water using a good
soap. Many of the stains and black
marks seenon the zinc shelves can be
removed by securing with pulverized
bath brick and soap. Clean wooden
shelves by scrubbing with brush and
some good soap. When all is thorough
ly washed, place them in the air to dry.
Wash out the inside OF the refrigerator
and dry as well as possible and let air.
When thoroughly dry, replace the
shelves etc, put in the ice, close and
let remain until the inside is cool, then
replace the victuals. 1t is good plan
to place in one corner small dish of
charcoal, to arrest any impurities that
might arise The woodwork OF most
refrigerators may be kept looking nice
by wiping it over each week with a
damp cloth wrung out in clear water

Uncle Eben was careful in all that he said.
he was never dead sure nor dogmatic;
i he was as mad as hornet at bay,
He couldn't be pronounced and emphatic.
He Thought it was best to go sure and 20 slow,
And always take time for his whiskcrs to
grow
And his blame orhis praise would end with this
phrase;
Il dunno as l know; I dunno"
When his noighbors grew wild in political
strife,
And asked his opinion about it,
Il dunno but It IS dunno butt amt"
He would slowly declare "But Idoubt It,"
Ihenhed pause long time, scratch his head and
lay low,
For it took quite while for his language to
fow
But atlength he ~ould say in calm kind of
wayi
'TdunnO as Iknow; dunno"
/. You might pelt him with truth, you could stone
him with facts,
You could crush him with strong demonstra.
ton
And teachers and preachers and lawyers could
talk,
He would have just the same hesitation;
He would still scratch his head, undoubtedly
and slow,
But no flush Of conviction his face would DER
flow,
but slowly he'd say, in his old chronic way:
Il dunno as know; dunno"
Il dunno as know, dunno as / know"
The refrain Of his songof existence
But we loved the old fellow-after he died
And his soul wandered OF in a distance.
Then we thought were we wiser and less fond
OF show,
Less weak and less proud of our work here

Like him we would say every day every day:

corn cob served as stopper to this
rude decanter.

she drew out battered tin cup, which
she half filled from the jug. The fiddler
