OUTSIDE WINDOW BLINDS.



Suggestions for Overcoming Their Most OBJ
jeetionabls Tendencies.
From the New York World.
Among the household inconveniences left
over to this generation outside window blind 9
are among the chief and worst Their prin-
cipal objects seem to be to get out Of order,
hang on one hinge. collect dirt slam violently
and noisily and contribute In every possible
way to the dilapidated appearance Of q
dwelling. To shut or open them one must
risk dislocation Of the neck, and il they are on

open at critical moments la the process Of the
toilet. still they. exist and the aim Of every
woman who has them should be to render
them - unobjectionable as possible.
In the first place, all their slats must b. care
fully attended to and never let drop or Nv
loosely. Once every week they must be thor
ouehly brushed, otherwise the accumulation of
dust upon them combines with occasional
showers TO dow in rivulets Of mud down the
front OF the dwelling. At least once wear
they should be taken OF their hinges and
washed The wise woman will take them of
one ct Q time or else mark in some unmistalabls
way which blind belongs to which aide Of Re
window, otherwise great win be the confusion
and, II they are hung by man, the profanity
attending their adjustment.
The proper materials for washing one Of those
cunoerscme obiects are a tub, warm, soapy
water and whisk broom. After the dust and
examinations of the season have been washsd
on rinse the blinds In water In which ammonia
has been Diluted in the proportion Of . table
spoonful toe gallon. They should be allowed

And listened to the lullaby

Mid rosy beams we dreamed the dreams

We saw the snowy peaks. dear,

With fairy streams and cstaracn
That spsrkled in the sky;
And by the emerald seas, dear,
We saw the castles bright,

Amid the fading light.
Then saw we gardens fair, dear.

And music seemed 10 fan, dear,

The crumbiing castles fall,
While oceans grand and fairyiand

which was almost spent, struck me below the

and leaving scar. Just behind the line

the horse trotted into our line, and although
blind in one eve and poor in flesh he proved to
be o serviceable animal and worked in one of

loaded freely, especially Of Sugar and Whisky

shares were not so fortunate, however. They
were heavily sold in some instances, notably
the Changers. The movement in New England,
which looked very much like liquidation, also
began in the afternoon. The selling of these
