and a half yards long is not good one;
they should be at least two and three
fourths in length, and three yards is
better. There will be plenty of room
then to turn in at top and bottom.

Perhaps one of the best things for
bleaching pine table that has become
discolored by constant use would be a
paste made Of wood ashes, mixed with
water. Spread over the table at night

grease spots from floor. A good scrub
bing-brush with soap and water should
then be applied.-N Y. World.

"A correspondent of the Scientific
American says: about ten years ago I
cured ingrowing nails on both of nv
big toes in the following manner, which
can be done by any one who has the
lenst amount of ingenuity and patience:
First, thoroughly clean the parts, and
then pack in front of the nail cotton or
lint as hard as may be borne. This will
remain with comfort for three or four
days, then remove, and in front of the
pellet will be found hardened mass of
flesh; serape this away and repack. con.
tinuing the operation until the corner
OF the nail has grown out and is beyond
the soft tissues of the toe. Of course,
easy-ftting shoes or boots should be
worn during the treatment and ever
after"
