the crib from drausht, to screen a
corner, or shut off the washstand when
it is in use.
If the nursery is far from the kitch-
en- small refrigerator will be found
a great convenience. Tin ones can
be purchased for about So that answer
the purpose admirably. There is room
for the supply Of milk for the day,
beside the ice, and they are easily
kept in perfect order.
If the baby is fed on artificial food,
some means shoIld be provided for
heating it; IN alcohol lamp, a contriv-
ance to fit on the gas burner, or a
covered saucepan clone, if there is an
open fire.
No nursery should be without thor

and administers carefully the domestic

For THE HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT,
Care Of the Teeth.

Why do so many of our yourg people
neglect the care of their teeth, the pre-
servation of which is as equally impor
tant as the care of the eyesight or the
hearing? OF course it is perfectly nat
urel for some to have teeth more sound
than others, while some are what We
call 'pretty" and to others this name
cannot be applied; nevertheless ones
countenance is greatly enhanced by clean
neat teeth which anyone can have by
the use of a good brush and pure water.
Ii neglected the sediment of course
will cause rapid decay. which if still
left to do its work, will finally impair
the health to a greater or less extent.
Children should be taught at an early
age, the care that the teeth require,
and to keep them we'll brushed.
Cracking nuts, or BRINGING the enamel
in contact with any hard substance
should always be guarded against, as a
bruise to this glossy covering is sure
destruction to the tooth. Natural teeth
as rule are the only ones by which
person retains his natural expression,
for false ones as We all know, are sure
to betray themselves, and to give DIFF
ferent expression to the mouth, and Of
ten causes q slight change in the voice.
A tooth should never be extracted as
long as there is any chance of saving
it, by havingit filed. While it is only
a small expense to have it attended to

The Physiology of it.

During the searching weather of July
and August you often rush into an ice
cream saloon with the avowed intention
of cooling your body to at least fe W de-
grees below the melting point. II you
are in great hurry you are apt to make
the first few teaspoonfulS of the cooling
mix ure rather large. This almost i'm
mediately gives you violent pain in the
temples or someN l. ere in the region of
the eyes. Why ia this? Did you ever
stop to think? One who has studied the
physiology of the case says that it is
caused in the following manner: The
frozen mixture coming in contact with
tie nerves of the throat the larynx,
pharynX, etc., temporarily paralyzes
them. The sensation instantly sho IT'S
to the center of those nerves, which is
in the brain, but finds there side con-
nection in tt shape of the great facial
nerve, which starts from ia front of the
ear and extends its branches over the
sides Of the face.
One branch of this facial nerve, ex-
tending across the temple, is a "nerve
81 sensation" while the other branches
are simply "nerves of notion" utilized
chiefly to govern the play Of tie mouth.
This great facial nerve sidetracks the
pain which proceeds from the chill,
throwing it out along the nerve branch
which trayerses the temple, the pain be-
ing most agonizing at the points where
the nerve branches. II the irritation is
extraordinary The "refex" action which
takes place may cause violent pain in
the eye-ballo as we'll as in the temple,
the eye pain being sympathetic.
The person who rashly swallows great
mouthfuls OF frozen milk should re-
member that every time it comes in con-
tact with the nerves of his throat the
whole nervous system is injured to a
greater Or less extent.

To Ward Off Moths.

Most of our older housekeerers have,
no doubt, their own way of fighting
moths. We have tried paper bags, but
a writer in the Germantown Telegraph
explCdes soma CT the prevailing notions
and prat tees. 1t is matter of prudence,
SAYS the writer, to provide separate
print or cambria bag for each fur or fur
lined wrap. Beating and combing will
usually dislodge any egg desposits.
This beating may be done in the open
air en- fair morning too cold for the
sportive insect. Exposing the garment
to the direct rays Of the sun, at the late
date, affords the "miller" an emporium
ity to secure a delightful home for
future larvae that it does not neglect.
The combing should be thorough.
Places where falling hair indicates the
presence of moth and eggs, consign to
the flames. The whole secret of the
preservation of wool and fur is to have
them free from eggs and larvae when
laid aside for the season. 1t is not
known that the strongest odors prevent
the ravages Of single moth. Appar-
emily the worms luxuriate on furs red

Possibly cayenne would restrain the

over the following "thats" which are

ough that they should not inspect the
refrigerator daily to see that no liquids
are spilled or food allowed to spoil and
contaminate the rest.
That dish water, which is always i'm
pregnated with more or less vegetable
matter, should never be thrown on the
surface Of the ground at the back door,
That all tubs and basins in bathrooms

washing day.
That sulphate of iron (copperas) and
choloride of lime, two of the best dis

autumn may prevent that dreaded dis

in the beginning, it is only right and
proper that any signs of decay be rem
edied at once, as this will perhaps cause
the diseased nerve to stop its devas-
tating work and the tooth be saved for
many years to come.
And this would cause other parts of
the body that would be affected to con-
tinue in a sanitary condition, which is
all very tssential.-Johnsye.

Suggestions for Pickles and Preserves.

suggestions 10r Pickles ana PRESERVES.
Some of our housekeepers frequently
complain of being unable to keep their
preserves and pickles in the same con-
dition as when first placed in the closet
for safe keeping. If they will try the
following suggestions which we copy
from an exchange, they may perhaps
have better success in the future.
To prevent preserves from sugaring,
add little tartaric acid when cooked.
Preserves need only tying up with
several thicknesses of paper, over which
put cloth, but should be looked over
occasionally, and if signs Instrumentation
appear, just heating them again will
correct it. Stone jars of small capacity
are best for these.
We would recommend all young house
keepers in buying their jars, etc., fur
canning fruits, to get nothing but glass
Or stcne ware. Every thing is better
put up in these, as the acids in SO many
fruits acting upon tin are apt to make
them very unwholesome if not positively
injurious. Tomatoes, peaches and other
canned fruits may then be wrapped
with paper to keep fine light from them.
In getting vinegar for pickles, always
try to get cider vinegar, as the otter
kinds frequently eat up the pickles en-
tirely or cause them to turn soft. Too
strong vinegar should be partly diluted
with water.
All pickles should be tightly sealed, to
prevent air reaching the vinegar, as
this kills it, 1t should always be pour
ed on hot as it comes to the first scald-
never allowing il to boil.
Never put up pickles in anything that
has held any kind Of grease, and never
let them freeze.
Ifpickles are put up in brine, it should
always be strong enough to bear an egg.
Use coarse salt, in proportion of a heap
ing pint of salt to q gallon Of water.
The incest way to put up pickles is to
put them in bottles and seal while hot.
