simpI. Remedy for "a sty.

A veteran housekeeper told me the
other day of a simple remedy for n
sty, which she says has never failed
in her experience, says Good House
keeping. IL is poultice Of luke
warm tea leaves. Put the smallest
quantity OF water possible over a
half spoonful of black tea and allow
il to steep. Take it in ten minutes
and fold into n tiny piece OF thin
muslin. Lay IL on the eyelid and
keep the eyes shut for half an hour.
As il dries moistcn in the cold tea.
This cure is only of avail before the
sty has come to head; the poultice
must be applied as soon as the first
prickling pain in the eyelid an
nounces the coming of the disagree-
able Inflammation.
