Lime for Zines and Floors.

OF all the ways | have ever seen or
tried to make zinc bright and beauti-
full, nothing can compare with lime
and broom to scrub it, to remove
the spots.
We moved into a house where the
kitchen floor was APPALLING in its filth.
Having on hand a stone jar Of the
cream of lime, which we always keep
for cleansing purposes, nearly a quart
was scattered over the floor and on
the furnished zinc.
With hot water and the scrub
broom there was quick transformers
ton. When finished with plenty of
water, the zinc was bright and the
floor sweet enough to eat from.
To prepare the lime for ready use,
take a lump of quick lime and pour
on it all the hot water it will absorb,
till it becomes the consistency Of
cream. 1t can be skept any length
of time by adding water occasionally,
that the lime may be covered. 1t is
useful for keeping the pantry shelves
and cellar clean. Do not let it splat-
ter on the woodwork. The floor can
be mopped with little lime in clear
water. When done, the roughness
of the hands can be removed by few
drops of vinegar. AUNT ANNE.
M
The above suggestions are excellent
for implanted floors and where water
can be thrown on the floor and swept
out, as is often done in country kitch-
ems. A cellar floor can be mopped
and not wiped. Housekeepers need
to be careful about their hands. They
have to wear the delicate gloves that
nature provides.

Danger of Cycling.

Those who believe in the necessity

to that number-haye need also to-
remember that even SO good thing
as this is in excess an evil. The use
of the cycle is form OF bodily rec
reation in itself doubtless whole
some; none the less is it open to the
mischievous effects Of undue indul-
gence. Tempted by the ease of move
ment, combined as rule with at
tractive scenery, every one tries 1t.
Every one, too, finds he can do some
thing with it, and considerations or
wealth, constitution, age, and health
are apt to be dismissed with summary
imprudence.
One fruitful source Of injury Is

ignore his limit of endurance. The.
record breaker, who sinks exhausted
at his journeys end, has gone point
beyond this. The septuagenarianI
who tries to rival his juniors by doing
and repeating his twenty or thirty
miles, perhaps against time, is even
less wise. Lady cyclists, too, may
bear in mind that their sex is some
what the weaker. So likewise among
men the power of endurance varies
greatly, and it is better for some to
admit this and be moderate than to
labor after the achievements Of far
more muscular neighbOrs.
In short, whenever prostration be-
yond mere transient fatigue follows
the exercise, or when digestion suf-
fers and the weight is markedly
lessened, and pastime which ought
toexhilarate becomes an anxiouslabor,
we pay be sure that it is being over
done He that would reap its best
results must content himself with
much less than tf1fs; Dut unless nc can
observe such moderation he had bct-
ter abstain from it altogether.--Lon7

understood that Minneapolis will with
