KEEP BATH TUB CLEAN.

Each member of a family should
make it a duty to wash out the bath
tub with warm water after using. The
bath room should be kept scrupulously
neat and clean. The faucets and tub
should be cleaned carefully once a
week and polished; but sand-soaps
should never be used. Acid should
never be used on marble except in ex-
treme cases of necessity and as last
resort, and in such cases it should be
instantly neutralized with strong am
mOnia.
Miss ParlCa concluded by giving
some valuable hints on the disposition
of garbage. The refuge that comes
from the kitchen should be burned or
placed in a tub that is emptied not less
than three times a week. In the coun-
try it can be thrown into a trench and
covered with quick lime and earth.
The next lecture will be given to-
morrow afternoon, at o'clock. The
subject is THE care of the main part
of the house" Sweeping and dusting;
general directions for cleaning a room
cleaning rugs, draperies, windows and
paint; general care of furniture; the
best appliances for work and how to
care for these are among the matters
that will be dwelt upon.

for the past two years.
At $50 o'clock Tuesday night she
retired as usual. During the night
Mrs. Haggerty was restless and the
young girl was awakened several times.
Early in the morning when she awak-
ened she found her mother lifeless.
Ir. Walker was summoned and he
in turn telephoned for Coroner Long
street, who arrived at the house at 6
o'clock yesterday morning. The in
quest was postponed until this morning
at o'clock.
Besides the daughter, Kate, the de-
ceased is survived by two sons, john

SECOND LECTURE ON
DOMESTIC ECONOMY
Miss ParIoa Treats Of the Care Of the
Kitchen and Pantrles.
GOOD, PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION
One of the Greatest Responsibilities
ofthe Housekeeper Is the Care of
the Plumbing and Particularly the
Drainnge--How to Flush and Clean
Sewage Pipes--Tho Refrigerator
aud How to Keep IL Pure
aud wholesome.

The second OF Miss Maria Parloa's
twelve lectures on Domestic Econ
omy" was given yesterday afternoon in
Young Mems Christian Association
hall. The audience was perceDtibly
larger than at the opening lecture.
Yesterdays subject was the kitchen
and pantries. and Miss Parloa's treat
ment of it proved quite as interesting
as it was instructive.
The kitchen and pantries, she said.
should be separated as much as pos
sible for the main part of the house.
yet near enough to the dining room
to make the work of serving meals
easy and satisfactory. A north eX-
posure is desirable, but care should
be taken that the water pipes should
not be run on the north wall of the
house. The ideal kitchen is only one
story high, having a ventilator in the
roof and at least two windows on
opposite sides of the room.
That the work may be done without
travelling over a great deal of terri
tory, the table, sink and range should
be grouped conveniently together, and
as close as possible to the pantry,
where the ordinary supplies and uten-
sils are kept The furniture should be
plain and should positively include a
piece of zinc that will extend in front
of the range at least two feet.
The pantries should be so arranged
that the utensils can be placed on open
shelves or hung on the walls so that
every article can be seen at a glance.
SO much depends upon the range
that no one can afford to have a poor
one. 1t should be such that one car
have at win a hot, a moderate or q
very cool fire. Miss Parloa, at this
juncture, explained the use of drafts
and checks and the philosophy of fire
building.

ABOUT THE REFRIGERATION.

The refrigerator should be wei.
lighted and aired, should never be con
nected with a drain pipe 1t should
have a thorough cleaning once a week
Everything should be taken from the
inside, shelves, racks, etc, washed in
hot suds rinsed in soda water, finally
in clean hot water and then dried ard
aired. The interior should be treated
in the same manner, using a flexible
wire and cloth in the pipe, and rinsine
with cold water. A break in the linine
should be at once repaired. Moist
wood will give a taste to everything
placed in the refrigerator. Better, the
lecturer said, to be without a refriger-
ator than not to have good one and
properly care for it.
In the matter of cooking utensils, she
said, there was a necessity of a good
supply, but the simpler they are. the
better. There should be no Stint of
towels and dish cloths. The kitchen
utersils should be washed and wiped
with the same care as the dining room
china. Utensils in which frying has
been done should be wiped out with
a newspaper. Tins should never be
secured with sand. The skeWer is al
ways preferable for removing particles
which cling to the utensils or which
become lodged in grooves. Much ire
parable damage is done by Ignorance
and carelessness.
