HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

THE best covering for poultice or O
mustard paste is tissue paper.
To REMOVE tar rub thoroughly with
clean lard and wash with soap and
warm water.
Brass utensils may be kept beautiful
~ bright by an occasional rub with salt
and vinegar.
BArHE the lips occasionally with a
little alum water followed by n little
camphor ice or glycerine.
FoR bilious collie soda and ginger in hot
water. 1t may be taken freely and as
often as necessary.
To CLEAN willow furniture use salt
and water. Apply with nail brush,
scrub well and dry thoroughly.
| TO RESTORE strong ham to its original
freshness slice and soak over night In
milk either sweet or sour.
BENT whaleboncs can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water
a few hours and then drying them.
AMMONIA applied two or three times
on fresh cold sore will kill it. 1t Will
drive it away if used when the cold sore
Is first felt
WHEN wiping mp the floor before
putting the carpet down sprinkle it
over with salt while damp; this will
greatly prevent moths.
SLEEpLEssNEss, caused by too much
blood i'll the head may be overcome by
applying cloth wet with cold water TO
the back OF the neck.
WHEN washing fine white fannels
add tablespoonful of pulverized borax
to a pailful of water. This will keep
them soft and white.
NEVER let the suns rays strike q
mirror. 1t acts upon the mercury and
makes the glass cloudy, which all the
rubbing in the world will not remove.

Tho Ammonia Bottle.

The daily papers have recently re-
ported several deaths rs q result Of
drinking ammonia through mistake. As
this drug is in universal use among
honsekcepers as an agent in securing
ana cleaning, for which it Is useful,
great care should be taken to keep tho
bottle out of the reach of children, since
accidents are liable 10 occur which may
result fatally. 1t is not necessary in
TINS connection even to know that the
pnngcnt liquid is made from old hoofs

The Ch.idren.s Flower beds.

Most children seem to have a natural
desire to cultivate flowers and have
some Of their own, and if this propensi-
ty was duly encouraged it would be-
come permanent trait of their charac-
tiers. 1t would make them observing
and familiar with the laws of nature
To know the names Of the different
flowers and plants of ones country and
the wondrous processes of their growth
is almost equivalent to liberal cduca-
ton. Such knowledge enlargcs the
mind and softens and refines the ma
turc, and therefore we should allow
our children, boys and girls alilScs to
have their little flower beds in pleasant
and well-prcp pared places instead of in
out OF the way spots. as is usually the
case If our boys were taught to love
and cultivate flowers, they would not

A handsome gray linen towel with
fringcd ends ind colorcd borders was
chosen for the apron which served rs a
model for the accompanying sketch
from the Youths Companion.
About onc-third of the length Of the
towel was cut off for tho poclket-piccc;
the side borders cut from the remaining
two-thirds were made into a long belt,
and finished with n large button Mt ono
end and two buttonholcs Mt the other.
The extra buttonhole was for raising or
lowering the apron; also to accommo-
date different members of the family.
The fringcd end of-the longer piece
after the plain end and sides were
hemmed-was folded over tho waist
