Things Worth Knowing.

Damp spoils the tones of piano and
turns the keys yellow sooner than any
thing else. Keep the piano shut on damp
days, but n little sunshine will help to
preserve the color of the keys.
To prevent table salt from becoming
lumpy mix with it little corn flour be-
fore putting it into the salt cellar; the
proportion about heaped dessertspoon-
full of corn -four to teacupful of salt.
Spirits of wine, diluted with little
water, may be used for improving the
appearance of black satin. Apply it
with sponge and rub it on gently the
right way of the material. The satin
should then be put between two pieces
of satin and ironed on the wrong side.

salvation Army Tea.

IMPORTANT: There are very few
things more hurtful than common
tea. An eminent English doctor
once said: "lf the public gave up
drinking common tea, the occupa-
ton of one half of our profession
would be gone" Good tea, how
ever, is refreshing and stimulat-
ing, and in Introducing this arti-
Gle to the public, the officers of the
Salvation Army have taken great
pains to secure tea, which can
with the greatest confidence be re-
commended as being of the very
highest standard of excellence,
and have decided to sell it at a
price within the reach of every
body, and although it will leave
us a very small margin of profit
indeed, we are satisfied, knowing
that what we sell is sure to give
satisfaction. Sold in lib packets.

must take advantage of the July days
if she would not he late in securing her
fruit. For jelly making the best results
are obtained when the fruit has not too

rants full to trimming with their last

will need longer cooking than the drier
fruit. The fruits used for jelly are cur
rants, apples, .crabapples and ounces.
These give the best results.
