How TO Care for Furniture.


House furniture that is properly made

ture to be had, and though II will cost
more and will not be as snowy % the
yeneered stuff, II represents genuine
value. Select your furniture deliber-
ately, remembering that there are onll
few people In any community wealth,

gowns.
The houses that are furnished in th
most satisfactory manner are those oC

necessary at first, waiting Ia buy OIL
pieces as opportunity offered. Hsppr
indeed those families who possess ole
pieces OF furniture handed down iron

rather than injured by time. Large
pieces OF furniture that have much !.
carving on them should be carefully
covered when the room is swept, aud
smaller pieces should be taken out. tits
essential that furniture should be kept
thoroughly busted. Rubbing furniture
vigorously with soft chamois and fan

IL is a good plan TO use rattan boater

the dust settle and sweep the room n

Let the dust settle again and replace the
furniture. Remember the busting down

When the room Is busted the last

take them TO the window to shake them

that this dust does not ny back In the

about John LIS famous Knockout trip.
He says Sully ruptured himself knock
ing out a 300-lb. Frenchman, at Astoria,
Oregon. The foreigner was boxing
instructor, and fairly clever. So certain
was he OF his ability to do Sullivan that
he made Sullivan deposit the challenge
money with the Mayor, and at the same
time he exacted from the Mayor guar
antee that II he killed Sullivan he would
not be molested.
A report comes from the West which
is doubted by Ed Smiths Pittsburg
friends. 1t says: "a fight between But

rounds or forfeit all the receipts. But
Ter stood until the close Of the tenth,
and won. Both men were badly pun
ished." Smith was in Columbus, Ohio,
at last accounts.

LONDON, January O. 1891 The Horticultural
papers are renewing their attack on American
appCs, on the ground that they contain arsenic
ana the attacks are being generally copied in
the daily press. The charge is that growers
sprinkle arsenic on their trees to prevent the
ravages Of q moth which eats nothing but apples
and pears. All the papers do not take the same
side, and one points out the weakness Of the
charge as arsenic would not be applied when
the trees are in fruit. The editor OF the Hor-
ticultural Times is the author of the arsenic
scare" as il is called here Immense quanti-
ties of Anne rican apples are sold IN England
and bring high prices, which perhaps explains
the reason for the attack.
Spraying fruit trees, plants and vines for the
prevention of the rdvages of insects and fungus
