THE USE OF MINERAL OH,

Tins in the kitchen feel the magic
OF mineral oil, AMI where long soour-
ing was necessary to keep them bright
and shining in the past, to-day the
up-to-date cook dips her flannel cloth
in kerosene, then into powdered lime,
or common whiting, and with these
scours her tins into q likeness of the
Kerosene cleaned mirrors, and all with
only half the labor. OF course, they
want thorough rinsing in hot suds
afterward to free them of all odor, but
the real toll of securing is what she
breads and not the quick and easy
rinsing.
If she has an oil-cloth on her floor,
she adds a gill of kerosene to her
securing water, dips mop in the
pail, passes it quickly over the painted
surface, dries it with flannel cloth,
and with this slight effort leaves 1t
bright and polished almost as new,
and an oil-cloth treated in this man.
ner will outlast one scrubbed up in
the old way twice over. Many o
housekeeper's heart has gone nigh to
breaking in despair over painted floors
and balconies which showed every
footmark, and were only made dingy
and dismal by all efforts to wash them
out. A flannel cloth wrung out in
cold water and we'll sprinkled with
kerosene makes painted floor almost
as easy to keep as one of the costly
hardwoods, and the odoD of the
cleansing will pass completely away in
half an hour. On balconies, indeed,
or where the windows of the room are
left open during the process, the smell
evaporates SO quickly as not to be
noticed at all. Baltimore American.

From slander, and from strife,
And innocent and blameless
Should be our daily life.

We still can watch aud pray.

That lures us into sin,

The victory can win.

TAGGING THE sHEEr.

Tagging the sheep is necessary
thing to be done il the shepherd would
avoid the injurious fly. The heat, as
well as the effect of the green soft
feeding when sheep are on pasture,
loosen the droppings and this soils the
wool. The ever watchful fly lays its
eggs on the filthy wool, aud before
anything is known the sheep are fly
blown, after which few days is time
enough to cover the whole hindquar-
ters with the maggots. 1t is a very
difficult thing then to save the sheep.
1t is worth while to save the tags and
after few days soaking in water to
have them washed and taken care of.
