pain. Besides these experiments, she
can without injury drink benzine and
light the gas at hollow needle which

household Hints,

All cold vegetables left over should

salads
Brushes of all kinds should be rest
ed on the bristles to dry, as otherwise
She water will rot the brush.
Before putting away the seasons
straw hats, go over them thoroughly
with stiff old toothbrush dipped in
lemon juice and flour of sulphur. This
will effectually remove the tan.
Save fruit pits, those from cherries,
olums, peaches and apricots, toward
The autumn open fire. A handful then
;ossed on the Goals will add glowing
dame and give out pungent aromatic
odor.
To prevent lamp chimneys from
cracking, wrap each chimney loosely
but entirely in cloth; place them to-
yether in a kettle and cover with cold
water. Ering the water to boil, con-
tinue the heat ten or fifteen minutes
and then cool off. By this tempering
;hey are toughened against all ordin-
ary lamp heat.
Corn starch will remove grease most
effectually. Rub little fresh, dry
corn starch into the soiled place, and
il will at once begin the process of
absorbing the grease. Brush the first
used off carefully from the garment,
and proceed in the same way with
more until the Disagreement has en-
tirely disappeared.
The unpleasant odor arising from
perspiration may be obviated in the
following way: Put two tablespoon
fuls of compound spirits of ammonia
in basin of water, wash the face,
hands and arms with it and the skin
will be clean. neat and fresh. This
is cheap and harmless wash, recon-
mended by an experienced physician.
1t is claimed that the best mouth
washes may be bought in tablet form.
Two of them CAN be made into wash
that will last week. Orris root tab
lets are excellent, imparting the frag-
rance of violets. Keep the teeth
scrupulously clean, and at the slight
est hint at decay go at once to the
dentist-the best one that can be
found.
A piece of chamois skin will remove
any spot or stain from tan shoes if ap-
piled within twenty-four hours. A
nightly rubbing with the sane material
will keep tan shoes looking fresh and
new for weeks. The inside of worn
kid gloves will answer the same pur-
pose. These agents are far better
than most of the so-called cleaners and
polishers.

According to the New York Ledger
a reconstructed adage reads, Eternal
vigilance is the price of safety of val
liable property, and in pursuance of
this idea an ingenious inventor has
devised an electric safe, which is made
with an electric lining, consisting of
thin metal sheets and strips of such
delicacy that the slightest rupture will
close the circuit and give the alarm.
The thrust of pin point will pene-
trate this metal. The casing is of steel
and is built inside of cover, which is
also lined with thin metal. There are
several sets of bolts, which are so ar
ranged that considerable length of
time is required to move them. The
slightest displacement starts off the
alarm and long before the burglar can
get to the treasure in the heart of the
safe the neighborhood gets altogether
too warm for him.

'"rhe growth of the iron industry in
the South during the past few years
has been truly phenomenal. For the
year 1896 the total output of iron in
this section amounted to 1883, 235
tons; for the current year it will ex-
ceed 1000, 900 tons When the South
ern iron manufacturers first sent their
product to Pennsylvania" says the
New Orleans Times Democrat, "it was
thought most extraordinary that they
should be able to invade that territory.
At the present time, however, they
ship to England at least ten per cent.
Of their product. Southern iron, like
Southern cotton, now finds its way to
oil parts of the globe, and some of it
has recently been used in the manu-
taoture of basic steel by the Martin
process. 1t has been possible to lay it
down in England at 81. 50 per ton, and
it can be manufactured for even less,
as the cost of production in the Birm.
ingham district is reduced from wear
to year. The chances are that nearly
one-third of the total iron product of
the country will come this year from
the South, the largest share of this in
dustry it has ever had. Nor will its
field be limited to iron. for the metal
is now being extensively converted
into steel, and it is predicted that the
South will ultimately furnish the steel
plates for our men of war, which il
has been found impossible to get in
the East on reasonable terms. Much
of the Southern iron is being con.
verted elsewhere into steel, and the
new steel mill at Birmingham, Ala,
is now operating ten revolving steel
furnaces, turning out 1000 tons of steel
ingots per day, the latter being con-
verted at once into billets, steel rails
Or bar steel"

The Cooking of Game Birds.

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of a life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such should be
larded, or cooked with slices of bacon
or salt pork placed on them. Do not

THE GOLDEN SIDE,

There's many a rest on the road OF life,
II 1--WE could only stop to take it;
And many tone from the better land,
II the querulous heart would wake it.
To the sunny soil that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust neer faieth
The grass is green and flowers are bright
Though the wintry storm prevaileth.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low
And to keep the eyes still lifted,
For the sweet blue sky will soon peel
through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without day,
Nor an evening without morning;
And the darkest hour, the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.

Or only beSgar's grateful thanks
For q cup of water given.

Than to snap the delicate silver threads
OF curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled

And sit, and grieve, and wonder.
