THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

A poultice of ripe figs is one of the
best things known for carbuncles or
boils. Must be we'll washed aud peeled.
A harmless freckle lotion is two
ounces of lemon juice and one drachm
of sugar. Let stand in a glass bottle
for few days, thep rub OH the face oc-
casionaliy.
1t is good plan to make rule that
solied clothes are never to be allowed to
accumulate in the closet. Another good
rule is to keep the window stills clean,
and not pile things all over them.
Grease stains on wall paper may be
removed by mixing pipe-clay with
enough water to make sort of cream.
Spread this rather thickly on the stain,
leave it for twenty-four hours. then
take 1T off carefully with knife and
dust and brush the paper thoroughly.
Do not use a good chamois skin for
wiping the kitchen windows, as thew
are ant to be little greasy from the
steam.o of boiling meats, and if a skin is
once made greasy, it is spoiled. Use an
old salt bag for washing, as it is soft
and does not cast lint. With a little
ammonia in the water for washing
them, followed by careful rinsing, they
shine.

ALL ROUND SUMMER GIRL
When the month of June is dying,

When the month of June is dying
And the year begins Julying
nd the weather gets unulterably hot;
And you make your preparation
For your all too-short vacation
In the country or back in your garden plot:
Its as well for you to know
That no matter where you go,
In the lane or in the street
You are pretty sure to meet
The neat, discreet and sweet
Summer girl.
She's Unfortunately charming,
And to C9lebs she's alarming,
For he can't resist her wiles, try how he
will;
For despite his bitter fretting,
He is drawn into the netting
OF the kird of girl that always shoots to
kill.
SO she smiles like anything
When she sees him OH her string;
And the wretched man all day
Ev'ry mandate must obey
In this way doth play the gay
summer girl.
BUT
After living TINS in clover.
Very soon the summers over,
And she has to leave the feid-the glade
the shore;
And she makes her retrogression
With dissatisfied expression
To her un romantic city home once more
And the crowd of single men
All determine there and then
That each pericardium
Shall in future be quite dumb
TO the speculative thrum
OF the pleasant, evanescent,
Iridescent, effiorescent.
EffervescenL non-quiescent
Summer Girl!

A Widows Position in Law.


A widow is just as free to engage in
business and to bind herself by legal
obligations as man. But her right to
share in the property of her deceased
husband is a right arising out OF the
previous marriage relation, and is
affected by the ancient laws concerning
that relation. At her husbands death
she is entitled to the use and income
for her life of one-third of his real
estate. and this ''dower" is hers whether
she ever had any children or not. The
rest of the real estate goes to the hus-
bands heirs. The widows share of
personal property varies in each state.
As rule she has one-third of it and the
children two-thirds. If no children are
living or their descendants she has
larger share, one-haIf in some states,
the whole in others. AS the widow Is
legally competent to transact business.
she can be appointed ADMINISTRATIVE of
her husbands estate and guardian of
the children.

''How IS it you women, in your stiff

In 1890 a navigable balloon was sue
cessfully constructed by Prof. Carl
Meyer. The balloon itself was some
what the shape of a cooked hat, why, it
is hard to say, as this shape does not
appear to have any advantages over the
cigar shape, usually adopted for nayi-
gable balloons. The propeller was
driven from cranks worked by the feet
of the operator, like those of bicycle.
The speed attained was about ten miles
an hour.
Though the problem of navigating
balloons has not as yet been completely
solved, great advances have been made
in the last few years, and it is certain
that in the future navigable balloons
will be largely employed in war, even If
no other use is found for them.

Few people realize how thoroughly
they are governed by their environment
and the age in which they live. The
IMAM who is little in advance of his
time is denounced as crank, and the
man who is attached to the past is set
down as an old fogy. Our convictions
on all subjects are tempered by the
winds of opinion. We f1atter ourselves
that we do our own thinking. But we
do not. Opinions are contagious.
