HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Among the recent jubilee souvenirs are some
that are useful for decorative purposes. One is
a silver tankard ornamentcd with silver coins
representing each period OF English history
from the reign of William the Conqueror to
that of Queen Victoria. The coins are ar.
ranged according TO their size, the largest at tho
bottom and smaller pieces toward the top.
Over each coin is engraved the name of the
sovereign at that time, and underneath the
year Is given.
The defacing of the polished wooden edges Of
the bathtub by brushes, soap. and other articles
laid upon 1t can be readily avoided by the use OF
a convenient receptacle for such things, fifty
named a bathtub tray. 1t is made of perforated
white enamelled zinc Of suitable size. and bound
around the edge with a slat OF nicely finished
hard wood, thus making q framework about two
inches deep. Fastened to the sides of this frame
are supporting arms of the same kind OF wood
sufficiently long. to reach across any bathtub.
In this tray can be placed all cleaning materials.
Proper attention must be paid to the brushes
one uses II one values her hair. To begin with,
brushes should be kept spotlessly clean. Have
them made of moderately stiff bristles, not too
long and put in singly. that is. not close to-
gether. Closely set long bristles arc very liable
to assist In spelling the hair. They are apt to
through them and break it Off. Watch your
hair brushes closely, and when a split bristle is
found 1t should DO removed al once.
1t Is said that when linens are badly scorched
the spot can be removed II treated in the follow
ing manner: Extract the juice from two peeled
onions and put it into an agate or granite vessel.
Add to 1t half an ounce Of white CASTLE soap cut
into small pieces and two ounces of fuller's
earth: Mix them together and then stir In one
cup OF vinegar. Stand the vessel over the fire

scher believes that the council should
hereafter contract by the year for
gathering garbage and keeping the
streets and alleys clean from manure
and other accumulative filth. He says,
and it is true, that during the season
of the year when the garbage wagon
is not running, people throw all kinds
of refuse in the alleys and it is al
lowed to remain for months, whereas,
if a contract was awarded by the
year, the alleys would always remain
clean and all danger from contagious
diseases removed or reduced to the
minimum. 1t is suggestion that
will bear investigation and consider
alton at the hands of the council.

If appearance and number of deaths:

Up to within the past two or three
days the number of cases reported has
been between 200 and 1900, and the
number'Of deaths about sixty. The
new cases reported averaged about
sixty per day, and the deaths about
six. Thus it will be seen that the
death rate is greatly below what it
has been during past epidemics. This
is probably due to the fact that the
doctors know better how to handle it
than formerly, and partly to the fact
that the lateness of the season pre-
vents it assuming that malignant
type that long continued mid-sum-
mer heat would cause it to. Yellow
fever is peculiarly hot weather dis
ease, and at the first approach Of cold
weather disappears.

fore the weather in the most southern
portions of the country becomes cold

be long time to wait before the dis

ONE hundred staple articles of pro-
duction and manufacture which have
been taken as an index in the advance
of prices, have advanced in value
about per cent in the past two
months and about Is per cent since
the first of March last. There are a
few free trade papers that attempt to
make out that much of this increase,
at least so far as it comes from manu-
featured goods, is due to the pro-
tectiye tariff. But the advance has
been a legitimate one. Prices had
dropped to bedrock, and with the re-
yiyal of business were bound to ad-
vance some. In so far as the new
tariff, has been an aid to business re-
vival, it is responsible for the ad-
vance. But some of the papers that
are now finding fault with the ad-
vance in prices were last year calling
for free coinage so that prices would
advance. Now they are feeling. badly
because they have advanced. But
the thousands of workingmena who
have gone to work as a result of the
revival under protection, are making
no complaint of the advance. They
know it is legitimate rise, but one
thatis much easier for them to meet
than extremely low prices and no
work Of ,soIcalled free trade. .,1ne1qc
