Making Work Less Obnoxious.

Scullery work may be made less oh
noXious by little forethought. Cook
ing utensils should be filled with cold
water as soon as their contents have
been removed and they should then be
placed on the back of the range. The
water heats slowly, the particles of food
ere loosened and when dish-washinr
time comes little effort is required to
clean the vessels thoroughly. A chain
dishcloth is an effective aid t. cleanli-
ness. The washing of china and glass
dishes is more of an art than the average
maid realizcs. They shoNld be scraped.
not with knife, as the general custom
is, but with piece of bread crust. which
removes the debris without scratching
the dishes. Very hot water made soapy
by the use of soap-shalter should be
used TO wash them. Then they should
be placed upside down in a wire drain
ing-pan and deluged with clear hot
water. They are easily dried after the
hot bath. A little soda in the fir.
water helps TO clean china and ( o bright

A Thoughtful Wife.

The young physician was tired when
he returned from his evening calls. but
as he settled back in his easy chair. and
his pretty wife of only month or two
took seat beside him, he asked, af
fectionately:
"And has my little wife been lonely ?''
"Oh, no, she said, animatedly; "at
least, not very. I've found something
to busy myself with"
'Indeed!' he said. What is it?"
"Oh, I'm organizing a class. A lot
of young girls and married women
are in it. and were exchanging expert.
ences and teaching each other how to
cook"
What do you do with the things you
cook" he asked, interestedly.
"Oh, we send them to the neighbors
just to show what we can do. There's
one clearinghouse gets most of it, It's
great fun"
Dear little woman" he said, lean
ing over and kissing her. ALWAYS
thoughtful of your husbands practice.
Always anxious to extend it."--Bangor

Polishing Wood.

Mahogany and all polished wood
Of any Kind is apt to become very dull
and furnished, and the regular opera
ton of rubbing it up is not one that is
dear to the average maid, yet if it is al
lowed to go too long uncared for, the
trouble of reviving it is endless. The
best and easiest way of polishing wood
is to make a dolly" of rags, finally
tying it up tightly in piece of soft
flannel; this should be slightly sprin-
killed. with linseed oil; over it tie a cloth
rag on which put a few drops of spirits
of wine; run all the woodwork quickly
with this prepared material, and pol
ssh quickly as you proceed with soft
silk or flannel rag. Both the oil and
the spirit should be very spalingly APP
piled, as they would otherwise moist
en- the wood too much and produce
smears; bur if the operation is briskly
done, according to these instructions.
no polish, however elaborate, will bring
about the same brightness. - Detroit
