THINGS WELL TO KNOW.
How the HousckcCpcr May Save
Money and Tighten Enbor.


Clean iapanncd trays by rubbing
them over with II little olive oil and
then polishing 1t off with Il soft cloth.
If SCOT should fall on the carpet, COW
er 1t with salt before attempting to
sweep 1t up. 1t will then be removed
easily and cleanly.
When grease is spilled on the kitchen
floor, pour cold water upon it at once.
This will harden it and prevent its
soaking into the boards.
To prevent rugs from curling nt the
corners bind them on the under edge
with a piece of narrow webbing like
that used to hold furniture springs In
place.
Fingers stained with fresh fruit. wal
nuts, etc, should be dipped In strong
tea, rubbed with nailbrush and then
washed in warm water.
If metal teapots are not used for
some time, they are apt to become
Musty and to give the tea peculiar
flavor when used again. This may be
prevented by dropping n lump of sug-
ar into the pot before putting il away.
A good securing mixture for floors
and wooden shelves Is made of half a
pound of sand, half pound of soft
soap and quarter Of n pound of lime.
Mix thoroughly and apply with n
scrubbing brush; then wash off with
plenty of clean water.
Moths will work havoc in carpets in
rooms that are kept dark and warm in
winter as we'll as in summer. Before
laying down carpet wash the floor
with strong alum water and occasion
ally sprinkle the carpet with dry salt
before sweeping it.
Large holes in stockings may be
mended more easily if they are cover
ed with piece of net and then darncd
over This also applies to woven COM
binatlon and vests. but these, when
much worn. should be patched with
the same material; for, if neatly done.
this will look far better than Il multi
plicity of darns and will be much
stronger. 1t is sometimes a good plan
to cut up one garment of a set to patch
the others with. for thus one Is sure of
having the proper material.

LONGING.

Tell me, We rocks or heavens arched skies,
Is there a place where friendship never die
Where tn our hearts
No knowledge comes of piercing wrongs
Or sad tho'ts crowd in countless throngs
To deadrn lifc's bright dream,
Where doubts dwell not nor fears
Modest our happiness?
Oh. answer back, ye hills, and say
There is a land where endless day
Claims one perpetual song,
Where friendships flowers live foi
And hopes refreshing stream
Flows constantly. with loves sail
Furled upon it!
No night ere comes to lead us whcr
The rocks lay hidden under
Or storms arise in friendships skies
To tear our harks asundcr
Oh. may'st thou lead us quickly or
Ere tired We grow Of waiting
Into that land of love and song

"Yes; he has been seen there"

before she could obey an intuition to
keep them back.
"You would not have me betray con-

stood close to her she did not push her
chair away, nor when he picked up her
fan from the next chair, where she had
thrown it. did she make any sign of
disapproval. and so it was natural that
he should presently occupy the chair

taken her hand without any protest on
her part. He had drawn her gently

arm, which embraced the post of the
piazza at her left, was ready to encir-

His purely animal instinct warned
him that she was winning n victory

piazza post across her shoulder she
gave sort of gasp. wrenched herself
free from him and darted into the
