Tespots should be washed thoroughly
with strong soda and water and then rinsed
well and perfectly dried each day if one
would prevent the curious haylike smell
often noticed in a teapot.
Never put down stair carpets without
pads underneath. They wear much longer
and are much easier to use. An old tack
or heavy bed-quilt. cut in proper-sized
pieces. answers tac purpose.
Feather beds and pillows should be thor
0nghly aired and the ticks changed. if nec-

hot sun. for this will draw out the oil and
make them foul rather than pure.

"Shortly after we had retired one
evening l heard peculiar whirring

There is a rattlesnake in the camp! |

'Hushr came the word, slowly hissed
through the teeth, from companion

softly, and we were almost paralyzed
with fright at the prospect. We were
afraid to stir for fear the reptile would
take alarm and strike its victim. 1t

evidently enjoying the warmth, for the
night was little raw.
"At times the snakes head was close
to his face, and he told us aiterward he
feared the motion of his chest up and
down in breathing would stir up the rep
tile, and he tried hard to breathe as little
as possible. Finally the snake crawled
toward the fire, aud in an instant the
whole camp was up. One seized club
and broke the reptiles back before ii
could make a spring. 1t measured near.

The English drawing room has new
fad, which is as unique as it is interest
ing. On table in the drawing room or
the reception room is kept Il handsomely
bound volume with the word "confes-
sions" running in large gilt letters over
the handsome binding. In it are con-
tanned all the goSSipJ or sentimental
thoughts of the members of the family
and intimate friends, which they i'll
scribe from day to day. Here and there
one finds line quoted from some more
or less noted poet to indicate the senti-
ment that swayed the writer's heart and
communicated itself to his pen at the
time he made the inscription, or some
sad or joyful happening that has caused
him to leave behind the imprint of his
state of mind by purloininS a phrase
from a familiar author.
The name of the writer is signed to
each inscription, and for weeks after
ward this quaint volume furnishes food
for the amusement of the initiated by its
curious contents. 1t is not only in many
cases an index to the character of those
who are permitted to write in it, but ii
reflects their temperament as well, like
q diary, in which are entered the events
of space of ones life. .-Jenness Miller

Now that the cold winds of winter are
beginning to blow over us, the apple
buyers are quietly storing away quanti-
ties of fruit to put on the market later
on. This years crop has been fairly
good one for an off year, and the price
of apples during the winter will be
within reach of every one, it is said.
Despite the unpromising outlook during
the summer months, growers have pro-
duced enough to supply the home de-
mand.
Erie county is behind in her annual
production perhaps, but Niagara, Or,
leans, Genesee, Monroe and adjoining
counties will make up the deficit. In
the western states apples are said to be
scarce, but in the eastern, particularly
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
quite quantity have been bought up,
The exports this year will be light
Commission merchants say the year has
been especially good for pears and
quinces.-Buffalo Express.
