A shaving Machine.

Shaving man in twenty-five seconds
is feat deserving of praise by all such
as value their time. The feat has been
rendered easy of performance by the con-
struction of shaving machine Of wood,
reported to have been made by Melchoir
Farkas, convict in the penitentiary of
the city of Szegedin, in Hungary. Far
kas was put to labor in the cabinet max
ing shop of the prison, and taking to his
work with will, he soon displayed
great inventive ingenuity. With this
machine he is said to have shaved all the
inmates of the prison, nearly loo in num-
Der, within less than an hours time.
The report fails to state, however, to
what extent the shaving by machinery
did or did not succeed in giving comfort
to the sufferer in the chair.

To Danish the smell Of stale tobacco
smoke burn little coffee on shovel and
carry it through the room.
Place piece Of camphor the size of
walnut in the oil when filling lamps and
1t will give bright and steady light.
When bamboo furniture is dirty it may
be cleaned with small brush dipped in
warm water and salt. The salt will pre-
vent the bamboo from turning yellow.
To remove stains from marble mix
equal quantities Of lemon juice and Wit
riol. Wet the stains with the mixture
and after few minutes rub with soft
dry cloth.
Some ink stains may be removed by
smearing hot tallow on them. The tai
low should be left on day or two, and
the linen should be put in the wash with
it still on.
To renovate leather chairs wipe the
cushions with slightly damp cloth and
then rub dry. Next apply the white of
an egg beaten to stiff froth and rub
with soft cloth.
To clean vanished paint take a small
quantity of tea leaves, pour some hot
water over them, let them steep for half
an hour, then drain through q sieve and
use the liquor for cleaning the paint.
The best cure for earache or faceache is
potato poultice. Boil four or five pota-
toes in their skins. When cooked as for
eating drain them from the water and
stand on stove to dry. Put the hot po-
tatoes into flannel bag and sew the end
up. Crush the potatoes in your hand
and apply to the affected part. 1t will
relieve the pain almost instantly.
In the matter OF inducing sleep much
depends upon the individual. One per-
son will find hearty meal before bed
time conducive to sleep, while another
thinks that an empty stomach is the best
plan in order to induce sleep. A cold
bath, rubbing the hands in the cold wa
ter, a wet towel applied to the temples
are all helpful to a good nights rest.
Some persons think that the only way to
insure sleep is to fix the mind upon some
real or fancied object, while others think
that to count from one onward endlessly
will weary the brain SO that sleep will
come.
To test coffee put a spoonful gently on
the top OF a glass of water. II the coffee

and will scarcely color the water, but II
chickory is mixed with it it will sink to
the bottom at once, rapidly absorbing
the water and also giving the water a
dark reddish tinge.
The noxious taste of many wholesome
drugs is so much against their use that
few hints as to harmless DISCUSSES of the
favors may be useful. A little extract of
licorice destroys the taste of the aloes.
Peppermint water DISCUSSES the unpleas-
ant taste of salts. Milk counteracts the
bitter flavor of Peruvian bark. Castor
oil cannot be tasted il beaten up and
thoroughly mixed with the white OF an
egg. Another way OF administering this
disagreeable medicine or cod liver oil is
to put a tablespoonful of strained orange
or lemon juice into wine glass and pour
the oil into the center of the juice and
then squeeze few drops of the juice up
on the oil and rub the edge of the glass
with the fruit.

London says that Jackson was a

his intention Of boxing Corbett again
for purse Of $4,000, which has been
offered by the National Sporting Club.
1t is not likely that Corbett will ac

Those who are acquainted with the

that Peter can whip Corbett, despite
