Hints for Hodsekeepers.

Half teaspoonful Of sugar will often
revive a dying fire.
Clipping the ends of the hair once a
month has beneficial effect.
Equal parts Of sweet oil and vinegar and
a little powdered gum arabic make an ex-
cellent furniture polish.
When the hands are stained use salt and
lemon juice; this will take off stains and
render the hands soft and white.
To prevent tin pans from rusting rub
fresh lard on them, and set in hot oven
until thoroughly heated and then rub Off
\ little salt sprinkled over the surface OF
a mustard plaster will enable the patient
to keep it on for hours without much suf-
fering.
IF the white of egg be mixed with
cupful of beef tea and heated to 100 de-
erees the value of the beef tea is greatly
enhanced" says the Lancet.
To loosen shoppers of toilet bottles let
drop of oil flow around the stopper and
stand it within foot or two of the fire
After time tap it gently, and if it doe'
not loosen add another drop of oil.

Washing Out the Stomach.
From the scientific American


During the past year several physicians
in New York have tried, with gratifying
success, a novel treatment for dyspepsia
and cancer Of the stomach by washing out
that organ. The process is very simple
and not dangerous. A long flexible pipe
is passed down the throat until one end is
in the stomach. The upper end has a
funnel attached, into which hot water is
poured until the stomach is filed. The
weight of the water in the pipe and funnel
gives hydraulic pressure sufficient to dis
tend the stomach. The pipe has an aper-
ture big enough to hold lead pencil.
After the stomach has been filled, the fun
mel end of the pipe is turned down until it
is lower than the bottom of the stomach,
and the stomach is emptied as barrel Of
any fluid is empticd through a siphon
The process may be repeated several times.
The result is that the undigcsted food and
mucous are washed out, and the hot water
closes the blood vessels and reduces infam-
nation. The relief is immediate The
dyspeptic may have his stomach washed
out before a meal, SO that be can take a
fresh start, After the lapse Of sufficient
time for ordinary digestion, the stomach
may be washed out again. This process
has been in use at the New York Hospital,
We are Informed for some time.

Hides Quickly Tanned by electricity

From the Philadelphia Press.
For some time past reports have been
current as to the perfection in France of
method of tanning by electricity, and the
matter has excited great curiosity through
out the country. This country is, as Amer
lea is, one of the largest leather producing
countries of the world, and has no fewer
than 5000 or 1000 tanning establish
ments. Within the present month the
process has actually been experimental
with in America, and the results are now
exciting no small amount of discussion and
controversy in leather circles The pro-
cess, which is the invention Of Worms 4
Bale, of Paris, has been under trial abroad
since 1887, in a tannery in Paris, and
another large tannery has been started for
the same purpose at Longinmeau.
In this method the tanning is expedited
in two ways. First, by the agitation of
the skins in contact with the tanning IL
quor; and secondly, by the passage of the
electric current through the body of the
liquid To attain these two ends circular
drum is employed, and as the drum rotates
current is passed through it by means of a
wire brought to contacts at its side. The
skins, to undergo this process, are prepared
in the ordinary way, the hair being taken
off by lime, and they are then put into the
drum with the tanning solution. The cur
rent to which they are subject averages
about 20 to 100 volts, and the direction of
the current is changed every twelve hours,
so as to act equally on the skins, which
constitute the electrodes.
During the operation the liberation of
gas is insignificant, so that the hides may
be considered to act in the same way as the
plates of an accumulator. Goat and sheep
skins require only about twenty-four hours
for complete tanning. Calf skins require
forty eight hours Cow, steer, and horse
hides require from seventy-two to ninety
six hours, according to their texture. The
leather produced in this way has been ex-
amined by experts and is said to be Of ex-
eellent quality Nine hundred and nine
teen pounds of hide, treated in this cleo
trical manner at Newark, gave 1,27S
pounds of leather in four days, while ,042
pounds of hides subjected to the action of
the revolving drum but without the current
turned on, gave only ,2l0 pounds ofpoorly ]
tanned hide Hence there appear to be
economies additional to those involved in
the saving of time.

Carelessness in Construction.

If men persist in running the ends OF
floor beams into the fiues OK chlmncys and
leaving them So out of sheer laziness or
besotted stupidity, says the independent, 1t
must be expected that houses so built will
take fire. If apartment houses are built
with Il wooden box from cellar to roof,
kiln dried in course of time, with tcmpta-
tions added in the use of matches and hot
Goals. the house will be ON fire from cellar
to roof in flash, if the start of Il little fire
comes, whether the first week OF the thou
sandth. If people build, and other people
occupy, such a dwelling in the cellar Of
which baker fries crullers, in hot fat
before daybreak in the morning, just as
soon as the slipping of the bakers foot or
some other little slip spills the fat on the
fire the whole structure will be in roar OF
flame, although there may be a hundred
little children dreaming in their cribs on
every floor. If builders run up church
wall and leave it unsupported by floor
beams or snoring, and heavy gale comes,
the wall will crash down on a dwelling
alongside The intention, the plan, the
forethought or lack of forethought, are all
immaterial The poison does not observe
it has been swallowed by mistake, and
therefore omit to attack the stomach in
the way nataral to it. 1t is the act, aud
not the motive, which determines results.
And if finder box shaft is put into Il
building. or if there is furnace fiue placed
TOO near the wood, these things act pre-
cisely>as if they had been planned to set
buildings on fire rs soon as they are brought
into the right conditions, and il there are
open air spices, and connecting within
walls and IN. floors and roOls--aS there
are in all buildings except perhaps one in
ten thousand-the fire goes through those
spaces to the top as readily and certainly
as if they had been planned to be the hues
they really are.
Then when the train which bad build
ing and bad habits have laid goes off and
the fire breaks out we run and bring fire
department maintained at a heavy cost.
which stops the burning with il water
damage second only to that of the fire,
then we look to the insurance companies
and consider that there is no real loss if
only we have been Severed.
Now just as long as these bad habits
continue, fires and all the list Of preventa-
bic caamities will follow them. That
these reckless ways will continue indef-
nitely is not to be expected-they are too
costly, their cost will compel reform. But
is it not time TO seriously undertake the
reform and stop the cost from running up

Shoe Backing and Cold Feet.
Erom Shoe and Leather Faets.

From shoe and Leather Facts.
"When the leather in your shoes be-
comes old and begrimed with backing, you
will ascertain that the feet will be cold,'
remarked the old-time shoe seller. "Then
il is time to cast aside the shoes and use
them to wear beneath artics or for some
other purpose. have seen it referred to
many times, but if you want to keep your
shoes in good condition you should use
vaseline on them often. The life will be
kept in the leather, and, if rightly applied,
YOU can shine the footwear Just as well as
if the preparation had never been used,
Put it on at night when taking off the
shoes. There is castor and like oil, also
that will as well serve the purpose, and
keep your shoes and boots in good shape,
imparting much greater warmth 10 the feet
than if you allow backing and the like to
eat up all the life in the leather: When
backing commences to cake on the shoes
wash them with plain water, no soap.
