ORANGE BOXES FOR HEN NESTS.

Orange boxes make good nests and
can be bought for small sum, or got
for nothing oftentimes from fruit
dealer. If you have well-planned
poultry house it would be neater and
more convenient to have row of NOV
able nesting compartments, each hooded
together SO that they may be quickly
separated and cleaned when necessary.
Earth, under layer of hay or straw,
is considered good material for a
nest of sitter; the moisture from the
earth is distributed in moderation over
the eggs, making. them hatch more
easily at the proper time New York

Mystery of a Maidstone Explained.

''Here is something that will interest
you," said physician, as he placed
lump of slaty-looking stone in the
hands of scribe. "a patient of mine
gave me that this morning with as
grand an air as if she were giving me
a silver dinner service. No doubt she
thought it had as great value. It's
q maidstone. You've read accounts of
them. Put them on dog bite and
they will suck it and give off green

FLOUR AS A PURIFIER.

Flour has long been known as an
excellent purifier. Children's hoods of
Angora wool may be perfectly re-
stored, when soiled, by rubbing them
with -four that has been made very hot.
When the -four is cold, pin the hoods
on a line and leave them in strong
wind, or beat thoroughly with rat
tan. Angora fur may be cleansed in
the same way. The flour must be
stirred while heating to prevent scorch-
ing. New York World.

MILK AS MEDICINE.

In the long, trying days of summer,
men who work as hard as the average
dairyman does will be weary with the
strain that they undergo. Mind and
body will be tired, and night finds
them nervous and out of temper. When
this condition is reached, there is moth
ing 80 useful to work cure as glass
of milk. 1t should be heated to about
ninoty-nine degrees and slipped little
at time, and nothing in the way of
food taken with it other than a very
small piece of bread and butter and
eaten slowly. Such treatment will
more quickly restore man with nerves
unstrung and temper ready to explode
to e normal, mental and physical con-
dition, than anything else that is
known. 1t will work with women
equally well, and as il is always in the
house daily trial of it according to
directions will result in improvement
of nervous troubles that are often,
when left to grow, the fore runners of
protracted illness. Physicians in the
search for remedies for diseases that
drugs cannot cure have taken up milk
and are surprised at the results. u
has brought health where their knowl-
edge had decreed death must occur.
A western exchange tells rs of a case
os woman, where the physician had
pronounced her incurable, getting well
and staying SO on few ounces of
cream used daily with ths aldition of
some sponge cake. Sip warm milk

lieve your nerves and fortify your
stomach, and the world viii look
brighter to you after you have taken
it.-American Dairyman.

WORTH KNOWING.

Put powdered or dissolved copperas
down the sink and other drain pipes
as often as once week, and flush
them we'll on washing days.
For frost bites keep away from the
fire and rub the parts affected with
snow or ice water until thawed, then
treat as you would burn.
When the eyes sre tired, or infamed
from loss of sleep, apply an old linen
handkerchief dripping with water as
hot as you can possibly bear it.
To throw water on burning kerosene
only increases the danger by causing
the oil to spread, but salt, flour or
cornmeal will quickly smother the
flames.
In ordinary burns and scalds the
only remedy required is to thoroughly
exclude the air from the injured part.
Cotton batting will do this more effec-
tually.
To relieve pain from bruises, and
prevent discoloration and subsequent
stiffness, nothing is more efficacious
than lamentations of water as hot as
it can be borne.
Five or ten minutes spent overy
morning during winter in rubbing the
body briskly with flesh brush or
piece of flannel over the hand, will do
much to keep the skin active and pre-
vent colds. American Agriculturist.

HOW TO scouR WATER BOTTLES.

Carafes, which have so largely re-
placed the ice pitcher, are really very
pleasing and refreshing to look at if
they are kept fastidiously clean and
bright. Unfortunately the purest water
obtainable very soon dulls the inside,
and it isn't every one who knows a
quick and easy method of removing
this.
A very simple thing to do is to tear
a newspaper into small bits and nearly
or quite fill the carafe. Then pour in
warm soapsuds with little ammonia
added, and shake well. The paper will
soon scour the inside of the bottle
thoroughly clean, and it only remains
to rinse it well before using again. =

While cutting up tree in swamp
near Snow Hill, Md, recently, two col

MOTHS.

MOTHS.
Among the many duties demanding
the housekeeper's attention is the work
of putting away clothing, so as to pre-
vent the ravages of the moth, writes
Mrs. e. II. Parker in the Courier
Journal.
Furs are usually the most difficult to
care for. They should be brushed and
we'll beaten to dislodge any moth eggs
that may have beer deposited in them,
and then hung in the sun. Woolen
dresses, overcoats, flannel underwear
and extra blankets not needed for sum-
mer use should all undergo careful ex-
animation and airing, preparatory to
being slowed away for the summer.
The ld-fashioned custom of our
grandmothers-that of packing WOODEN
goods in boxes with gum camphor or
tobacco-is now declared failure, and
If we remember the many moth-eaten
articles We have seen come forth
from trunks and boxes, redolent with
these particular odors, one will agree
with the modern idea as to their want
of efficacy. Many women take the
precautionary measure of folding in
papers and sewing up in cotton bags,
but none of these are wholly safe, as
the only guarantee against moths is to
keep the moth miller from dopositing
its eggs, which they seem to do before
it can be prevented in the spring. |
have recently noticed an excellent bag,
which seems to be the best article TO
use in putting away woolcns and furs
it is alright and entirely free from any
unpleasant odor Garments can be
put in and taken out of these bags
with Ease, rendering one always sure
of their condition
Fer putting away the winter wear,
articles of kind should be put t..
gether, AS it sometimes causes delay
and trouble 90 have to hunt through
bags or boxes when some particular
garment is needed. Ii is an excellent
plan to mark each bag ON the outside,
SO the contents will be known without
opening.
Proper attention given the work .his
month will relieve the housekeeper of
all anxiety ON the subject, as well as
saving much expense by keeping the
woolen clothes in good condition for
another season.

A Matter of Health

TT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
L than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required, the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
