BOrax in House Cleaning.

When you are getting the soap.

for the spring house cleaning, always
include q box of powdered borax In

you can use in so many ways. IL is
very cheap and effective cleansing
agent, makes the work easier, and is
more satisfactory in every way than
ammonia, sal soda, or other things
Used for that purpose. 49,,
To clean wiudo IS, dissolve little
borax in warm water, wash them In

polish with paper. A stronger solu-

purities from them.
To clean marble and remove dirt and
ACCOMMODATIONS from brass, copper and
other metals without the slightest
injury, add a tab espornful of boz AK to
a min. of hot water. Dip small brush
into il. and scrub until clean, then dry
and polish with old hanuel. The same
solution may be used to clean alabaster

Coffee-Pots. LOving-Cups, and Baby
Scales.

| There have been many improvements
recently in hOus ehold furn ture and
| kitchen utensils. The old-fashioned
| chair-s'ep was convenient piece OF
| furni ure had it not pos Sessed the per-
| verse inclination that seems to exist
in all such cOntrlvances which are
made "a double debt to pay AT
exactly that moment when it was re-
qulred for use as steps it seem to
insist on remaining a chair The Ii
brary steps, which are usually seen as
a shallow table set against the wall,
were no more to be depended upon. A
careless footing on the last step was
sure to reverse the spring, and might
give the person who bad mounted them
bad fall. All these cpntrivances are
now made with spring lock, so that
they cannoy change their position
when they are once fixed in it. All
hcus hol1 stepladders are dangerous
traps if they are not furnished with
secure locks.
One of the greatest changes of re-
cent date is in imported porcelain
and stoneware coffee-pots. Almost
everyone is familiar with the awkward
shape of the old coffee bigeip, or deep
cOffee-pOt, with its pre,entious second
story. 1t was generally made of metal.
and often of tin. Every intellige t
hOusekeeper now knows that coff. e, as
well as tea, should be made in no bsser
metal than silver, and is far better
made in pOrce! ain, or a pot of sweet.
Dure stOneware. than in any metal.
The coffee biggin was finally introduce
ed in stoneware few years ago. aud
in the picturesque blue and white
onion pattern, which Germans use
so much in their kitchens. 1t was also
in a pref Y, plain cotfee-brown French
ware. These coffee-pots were so COM
plicated. however, that they were eX-
pensive, and some of the various parts
were liable to be broken. The new
b ggiDs of futed French ware are also
exceedingly pref y. They come in
brown. in blue and white, and white
and gold. The feature of these big
gins is that the dip" also of porce-
lain, is concealed. meath the cover.

the dip inside is removed. Such a
coffee-pot holds more than the old
fashioned secoud-story biggin, and has
fewer parts, and therefore it is much
more desirable.

Chicken Raising.

Every family which has only a few
square yards Of space ought to raise
chickens. 1t is true that persons liv-
ing in cities on crowded lots cannot
expect to make even pin money from
fowls, after buying feed, but having
fresh eggs and clean, healthy chickens
for the table is profitable beyond the
insignificant matter of dimes and dol
lars. There is a satisfaction in eatlu g
home-raised food of upquestion BILE
character, which is beyond the power
of the huckster to supply. What

there not degree of personal sd isfac-
ton in pourishiu9 our frail bodies with
such high-priced focd that the beggar
who CLEANS the garbage barrel or the
patrons of cheap restaurants can
never know anything about? What

price of an egg, or ten or twenty cents
in the price of that peerless breakfast
dish, a smoking hot and butter-Soake ed
broiler, when we get the thing we
want and that our aesthetic appetite
Graves?
People who dwell in marble halls are
supposed to choose their food With out
haggling about the cost, therefore
their own hens should lay their eggs
and hatch their table fowls. But those
who have more ground, as in often the
case at suburban residences, may sup
ply their own tables with the Injuries
in question absolutely free of cost, for a
surplus can be produced that will east
ly pay the charges on the entire crop,
and with little extra effort and care,
convenient profit can be made over
and above an AMPLE home supply.
Every farmer should, beyond all
question, make poultry permanent
feature of the farm, and should calcul-
ate upon a neat sum of money, or its
eq iivalent in trad, from his poultry.
He should never propose TO himself
home supply merely, for of all people
he is in condition to make money
from fowls, because he can grow them
at less cost than others and never have
to buy feed, ard the producing
thousands look to him for their supply.

name was Brown.
The girls all said his mustsche was the

His hair was n deep auburn and X crinkled

That made him the cynosure of all the

Now, being cynosure, he had more or
less conceit.
You could see 1t in his manner when he
walked across the street
His very air proclaimed aloud to everyone
In town:
Say, don't YOU think I'm handsome? My
names Adolphus Brown"
Well, so it went for several years Adsl,
plus cut dash,
But being a cynosure doesn't pay in ready
cash,
And finally his father brought the youth
up with a jerk,
And he said, says he: "Adolphus. you have
got to go to work.
Now. when Adolphus heard these words
and thought what they implied.
His first thought was that he would go and
be a suicide;
But OF nerve to swallow poison he found
there was lack.
And the thought OF a revolver sent cold
shivers down his back.
