THE care of tooth brushes is not
sufficiently observed" is the dictum of
a dentist. I'm our city houses they

To soften the hands. fill wash
basin half full of fine white sand and
soap-suds as hot as can be borne. Wash
the hands in this for five minutes at
time, washing and rubbing them thor
Oughly in the sand. The best sand to
use is the flint sand, or the white pow
dered quartz sold for filters. 1t may be
used repeatedly by pouring the water
away after each washing, and adding
fresh to- keep it from blowing about.
Rinse in warm lather of fine, white
soap. and after drying rub them with
dry bran or corn-meal. Dust off your
hands, and finish by rubbing cold cream
we'll into the skin. This effectually re-
moves the roughness caused by house
work. as myself can testify.-Detroi'
