THE HOUSEHOLD.
Hints From q Housewives Notebook.
Made Of Old Shoes-Iron-
ing an Art.

widowed linen should be soaked in
puttermilk for several hours and then
washed in the usual way.
Cracking door hinges may be silenced
by rubbing them with bit of soap or
applying to them a few drops of oil
Stains on knife handles may be re.
moved by rubbing them for few mo-
ments with damp cloth dipped in
kitchen salt.
To remove stains from book use a
solution of oxalic acid. This will not
touch the printers ink, but it will eff
face writing ink and other stains.
A good mixture for cleaning brass is
made Of whiting, mixed with one-third
of emery powder. This should be mois-
tened with methylated spirit and ap-
piled to the brass with cloth.
For backing boots mix beer and a
little sugar with the backing, as it will
make much better polish than if wa
ter were used. Do not use vinegar, for,
though it makes a good polish, it is
liable to make the leather crack.
To remove mud stains from wooden
garments dissolve teaspoonful of car
Donate of soda in pint of water. Dip
piece of material, Of the same color as
the mudstained garment, into the soda
and water. and rub the mud stains with

How to Detect Meningitis.

A severe headache is usually the first
symptom, and especially in children,
should then be observed. The headache
may continue for day and then APP
parently cease. On the second day vio-
lent sickness appears. and the patient
vomits frequently. When this ceases
the headache returns, and it is more Sc
we're than ever. A high fever accom-
panies the first headache. 1t disappears
and with the second appearance of the
fever returns with new force. The brain
becomes congested. 1t is then the head
begins to draw back. If physician is
not called before the disease reaches
this stage his services are likely to prove
of no avail. The parent should not neg
lect calling a physician promptly when
delay might result SO disastrously. The
spots are only a symptom, and they may
appear at any stage. In fact, they have
been known to appear only after death.

Ironing an Art.

There is woman in one of the pub
lie institutions in Brooklyn who has
made the study Of her life laundry
work. She considered it 80 important
that she spent two or three years in
Germany studying Its methods.
Nobody win accept carelessly laun-
dered clothes nowadays, and to properly
do up mems shirts, collars and cuffs
has become a science.
A laundry lately started sent out cir
culars in which were some points it
might be well for housekeepers to study
up and drill into their laundresses.
1.-THE bosoms Of shirts, says the cir
cular, SHOULD be free from wrinkles
and blisters at the neck; the neckbands
should be ironed in their original shape
and set up at right angles with the
bosom to allow the neck free play. The
wing points of standing collars should
have the same finish as the balance of
the collar. and the edges should be
smooth, SO that You can turn your head
without scratching your neck The very
stiff work does more damage to your
linen than washing and wear combined.
Solid and flexible is the thing"

Save all pieces of old linen that are
not too torn or small. Nail each piece
separately upon board and scratch up
the surface gently with blunt knife
until soft fluff is formed of the de-

from the board and roll each portion
separately, keeping the soft side inward.
These will be found useful when an in
jured member requires to be dressed.
