The programmes wiz contain only the COM

that wOmen's brains arc not go capable of de-

yeaSs ago l began a work about women as COM

Now this book positively asserts that women

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

When perfumes are not disagreeable to a pa.
tient 1t is well to use them freely In a sick room,
as they are a protection against contagion. II
is said that II lavender water is sprayed through
rial locality, it viii prevent the occupants from,
contracting the disease.
The back and arms of an old chair that seem
to be of no use will make an excellent bed rest
for an invalid. The rest Is made by cutting
away the scat and legs and padding the back
and arms with pieces of an old comfortable and
covering this with some delicate colored chtnt1
or Saline, or, when the rest Is in use, one may
fill the back and sides with pillows
When hanging sash curtains in the summer
cottage windows and rods are not at hand, take
picture wire: 1t can be fastened securely from
brass.headed nails, the curtains can be readily
drawn upon 1t, and it will not sag as a piece OF
Irvine will.
Do not forget in packing away silver for the
summer 10 put a few pieces OF Camphor in the
box with it. This will help to keep the silver
from becoming discolored, as it oftentimes will
when not in use.
Mothers in the country with children will do
well to visit the barn and secure a box OF oats 20
keep at hand. Wet shoes, as soon as they are
removed from the feet, should be filled with the
oats and left until perfectly dry. The oats
absorb the moisture in the leather and preserve
the shape of the shoe.
A zinc bathtub may be polished very salts.
~factorily with kerosene. Have the tub perfectly
dry before using the oil. Cover one smal! place
at a time with the oil. rubbing it well wi,ha
brush and then a cloth. When all parts have
been cleaned. wash the tub with boiling water.
Figs that have become dried may be freshencd
by laying them upon a plate and placing he
plate in u steamer until the fruit is softcncd and
full, Roll the figs in confectioncr's sugar and
let them stand in a warm room u while.
Now that the berry season has come around
tho convenient little article for hulling straw.
berries will be doubly. appreciated. With a
cherry stoner and something for removing hubs
on berries, the housewife does not look upon
this preserving season with such dread. and
stains upon dainty pink finger nails are q thing
OF the past.
A piece Of narrow webbing, such ms is used Cor
holding furniture springs in place. scweG upon
the under edge of rugs, will prevent the corners
from curllng; moreover. the rugs are not 80
likely to pull out at the ends when taken hold Of
too near the edges when they are beaten.
Crusts of bread are better than a soft cloth Tor
rubbing photographs, engravings, or paintings
TO remove soiled marks and dust. The bread
should be twcnty.four hours old.
