Now, perhaps, 1t came to Miss Mat

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


Wear a clean apron while ironing or
bed-making.
TO clean bamboo furniture use a
brush dipped in salt water.
Theeyes shouldbe bathed every night
in cold water just before retiring, and
they will do better work the following
day.
When very tired lie on the back, al
lowing every muscle to relax, letting
the hands go any way they will, and
keep the eyes closed.
Oil stains may be removed from wall
paper by applying for four hours pipe
clay, powdered and mixed with water
to the thickness Of cream.
If you have to sew all day, change
your seat occasionally, and so obtain
rest. Bathing the face and hands will
also stimulate and refresh.
For stains in mating from grease,
wet the spot with alcohol, then rub on
white CASTLE soap. Let this dry in a
cake and then wash off with warm salt
water.
Where 1t is desirable to see the
tongue Of very small child the object
may be accomplished by touching the
upper lip with bit OF sweet oil, which
will cause the child to protrude Its
tongue.
Sore Or infamed eyes are relieved by
bathing in tepld or warm water in
which little salt has been dissolved.
An individual towel should be used in
all such cases-never one which is
used in common by members Of the
family.

cellar for the coal and room for her
desk away from the draught.
But in the spring time the draught
from the door was very welcome, and
Miss Matte was grateful for all the
air she could get as she sat at her desk,
