The Smell of Paint.

For removing the smell of paint from
rooms the simplest remedy of all is to be
found in opening the doors and windows
to let in constant supply Of fresh air I'M
til the paint has hardened. If, however,
time is an object, the same result may be
obtained by burning few handfuls of jun
iper berries on charcoal fire in the mid
die of the room in precisely the same way
and with the same precautions as in disin-
fecting with burning sulphur. The win
dows and doors must be stopped as closely
as possible, and if.the room be opened aft
er "a hours the disagreed BILE smell of paint
will have gone, and nothing that has been
left in the room will suffer injury from
the fumes. Hay sprinkled with little
chloride of lime and left for one hour in
the room is also an efficacious remedy, and
if some open vessel containing water be
stood in the room after time the water
will be found covered with film and the
smell diminished. Brooklyn Eagle

Life Sustaining Fruits.

In replying to the query of whether there
are any fruits which of themselves are
sufficient to support healthy life an ex-
change says: There are many such, among
which may be mentioned the date, banana
and plantain, figs when dried, the bean OF
the carob, or locust tree, and the fruit OF
the baobab, or monkey bread tree, which
is eaten by the negroes in West Africa. All
these contain sufficient fat, sugar, starch,
pecten, gum and heterogeneous matter to
support healthy life. OF all these prefer
ence must be given to the banana, which
supplies to many millions permanently
nutritive food, and to the fruit of the date
palm, or Phenix daotylifera, which serves
as an exclusive article of aliment in parts
of north Africa, Arabia and Persia.
'sIn all Fezzan, says one authority, "the
date is the staple food not only for men,
but for the camels, horses and dogs. Nine
teen twentieths of the population live on
dates alone during nine months OF the
year." In the hadji or pilgrimages, the
price of dates at Mecca and Medina forms
the first question asked between the Ara
pilgrims going to and returning from the
sacred city. Cakes of dates pounded and
kneaded into solid mass constitute the
main nutriment of the caravans crossing
the Sahara. From the fresh juice of the
date wine and also vinegar are made and
spirit distilled, while the stones or seeds
are roasted and largely used instead OF
coffee. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
