TO CLEAN WHITE FURS.

Very few people know how to clean
white furs, and it may, therefore, be OF
interest to learn the method recommend
ed to Bazaar writer by the famous st.
Petersburg Russia) turrler, Cubeus.
The furs must first be washed with tallow
soap and lukewarm water, and then
rinsed with weak solution of
crystals of soda, all the soapsuds being
removed from the fur with hard brush.
Should there be dark stains, such as are
made by carriage grease or other fat SUBJ
stances, on the fur, it will be necessary
to rub them with benzine few hours
before washing it. It sometimes hap
pens that in spite of this treatment the
furs retain a yellowish hue; this can,
however, be removed by bleaching them
in the following manner: While still
damp the articles must be immersed in
very cold water, in which four pounds
of sulphuric acid of natron have been
diluted. After an hours soaking, four
pounds of salic acid are added to the
mixture, which must be we'll stirred.
Whilst the furs are in the fluid the ves-
sci containing them should be tightly
covered, so as to exclude the action of
the air on the acids. Lastly, the furs
must be rinsed several times with pure
cold water.-Boston Transcript.

AbOut Cabbages.

So far as known, the original cabbage
is indigenous to the shores OF several
countries in northern Europe, and it is
said to be found even at this day on the
coasts of Great Britain. Some of the
old herbalists of two centuries ago in
form US that people living near the sea-
shore preferred the wild cabbage to that
grown in gardens. 1t is supposed, and
probably it is a fact, that all the many
varieties of the cultivated cabbage-cole-
worts, borecole, Scotch kale, cauliaower
and broccoli-are descended from the
wild cabbage of the seashore, the change
having been wrought by cultivation dur
ing many centuries. The cauliaower
differs from the common cabbagein in pro.
ducing mass of metamorphosed flowers
in place of compact head of leaves.
In the Island of Jersey there is a tall
growing variety of the wild cabbage,
with stems ten or more feet in height,
terminated by small head of compact
leaves, or, III other words, small cab
bage. The broccoli and cauliaower
have been in cultivation in Italy and
France during the past three centuries,
and these vegetables probably originated
in one of these countries.-New York

THE sc1ENcE OF BUSTING.

It Is science, since the doctors have
discovered for US that the furnishings of
our houses are the camping ground of
lively unknowables called bacteria, writes
Helen Watterson. The removal of dust
is, therefore, not only performance of
esthetic necessity, but of the greatest
sanitary importance as we'll. 1t is not
going too far to say that there is just as
much need of classes in the hygienes Of
cleaning and busting as there is of cook
ing classes.
The simple disr 'acsment of dust isn't
dusting, and the whisking of the feather
duster is no more evidence of cleanliness
than the possession of many books now
adays is an evidence of learning. A
room is busted only when the dust is
taken out of the room and that is done
only when it has been carried out of the
room. This is done by using soft,
slightly dampened cloth to dust with
and by wiping the surface of each article
slowly and with care not to throw the
particles of dust up in the air, whence
they will settle again instantly some.
where else.
The utility of the feather-duster ex-
cept for walls is to be doubted, and even
for walls a soft cloth is better. A thin
silk cloth or piece of cheese-cloth
makes a good duster. So does soft,
firm wooden cloth, but linen and cotton
flannel leave lint behind them. Ono
woman uses all of her worn-our silk
stockings for dusting and still another
makes loose mittens out OF old woolen
which she puts on as busters. A turkeys
wing is admirable to get the dust out of
chinks and between rails and chamois
gives last polish better than anything
else. The best polish in all the world
to keep furniture from looking dingy is
the following. Two tablespoonful
cotton-seed oil, one tablespoonful turpen-
tine. Instead of cotton-seed oil grout oil
and good vegetable oil may be used.
This should be we'll rubbed into the
wood and then a last polishing given
with chamois. This is tho recipe of q
famous furniture dealer in New York.

COPPER STEwP!Ns.

The reason why copper stewpans are
considered desirable is that in the first
place they are more durable, far outlast-
ing any other; and secondly, being
thicker, they cause the heat to be more
uniform, hence they are preferred by our
"cordons bleus." On the other hand.
they require to be frequently retinned,
and become q source of danger unless
kept perfectly clean and bright inside.
For this reason, doubtless. they are much
less used than formerly, which is very
detrimental to the look of the kitchen
dresser. as "bright coppers' give an air
of cheeriness and we'll being to kitchen
that is very attractive.-New York Tri-

What Everybody says Must Be True.

For over forty years there has been no dis
senting voice during that period. DR.. Tobias's
Venetian Liniment has been warranted as q
pain reliever to give perfect satisfaction OF
the money would be refund ed. Such de-
mand has never been made, simply because
the millions who have used 1t and continue
to do so find that it Is far above price-really
to them worth its weight In gold.
This liniment has, indeed, accomplished the
most wonderful cures as the certificates show
and can be seen at the Depot, 40 Murray ST..
New York. Pain yields Immediately to its
conquering power-it has no choice. Being
clean to use, possessing no disagreeable odor,
has combined with its true merit to make DR..
Tobias's Venetian Liniment the favorite pain
reliever that it is to-day.

Always on Time.

Washington had many admirable
traits worthy of imitation, and one Of
them was rlgid punctuality. This was
well illustrated by an incident during
his visit to Boston, Mass, one hundred
years ago. Having appointed eight o'clock
in the morning as the hour at which he
should set out for Salem, he mounted
his horse just as the Old South clock was
striking that hour. The company of
cavalry which was to escort him did not
arrive till after his departure, and did
not overtake him till he reached Charles
River Bridge.-New York Observer.

The task is easy that secures Us fame.
But, ah! how seldom comes the trumpet call
That stirs the the pulse and fills the veins

When victory asks fierce effort, once for all,
And smiling fortune points way to lame
Along some path of honor, free from blame
To one the call TO do great deeds speaks

To one, amid vast unhonored crowd.

Cur hourly toll but seeks the means to i've;
Our dull monotonous labor knows no plan,
Save that which stern necessity doth give.
Our earnings fill an ever-leaking sieve;
Our task fulfilled, another still succeeds,
And brief neglect brings overgrowth OF

What wonder, then, if suffering men replne,
And hopelessness gives way to mad despair!
Some murmur at, yea, curse the scheme

important Typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
1t is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
''In some cases purchasers of ma.
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement. Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writer's which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save few dol
lars man does not want to buy a ma
chine with a law suit attachment, espe-
cially when the other machine is the
best-"-N. Y. Journalist, June Is, 1892.
