HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS.

An Improvement on the square wash
cloth in general use is a mitten Of
Turkish toweling large enough to slip
easily off and on, or one knit of rather
coarse twine On coarse needles. These
with salt water and dried for use in
che friction salt bath.
To drive out moths use mixture OF
one quart of alcohol, one ounce each
OF carbolic acid crystals and camphor,
a. quarter of an ounce each of oil of
cedar and oil of eucalyptus. Keep the
bottle we'll corked. Put some of the
liquid into an atomizer and spray the
place where moth appear.
A good everyday furniture polish is
q mixture of equal quantities of tur-
q wooden cloth and then polish with a
fresh wooden cloth, and rub finally
with piece Of soft linen. If cush-
Toned chairs or sofas are rubbed with
this, be careful that it does not touch
the covering. Any furniture polish
will leave a little mark on the cover
ing if allowed to touch it.
We frequently hear Of explosions of
lamps and coal Oil stoves. a certain
amount Of inf1ammable vapor is given
off from kerosene oil The lower the
grade Of OIL the greater the quantity Of
vapor If the reservoir in the lamp or
stove has stood partially filed for
many hours the space that is not filled
with oil may become filled with vapor.
When the lamp is lighted gust of air
hammable gas, and an explosion is the
result. The safeguards are: Purchase
the best quality OF oil; it is the cheap
est in the long run; trim and fill the
lamp every day, and do not burn the
lamp until practically all the oil is ex-
hausted. There is also danger of ex-
plosion when the wick is not large
enough to fill the wick-holder.

g. svC Filling Device.

A d., ice for use in constructing
6 ayes, the invention OF Henry D.
CAmeron, Of Burlington, Iowa, is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
the coffin has been lowered, and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
the most trying termination Of the
grave ceremony to the bereaved
mourners. It consists of receptacle,
with detachable sides and bottom, Ind
a gate in the latter sc arranged as to
be capable Of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front Is
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to the ceremony and carried
to convenient point. When all Is
over and the grave is to be filled, the
receptacle is placed over 1t, and the
gates opened, thus gently closing the
last sad scene in a much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return Of the earth with O
spade.

Russell Sage as a Farmer.

A handsome but simple frame house
at Lawrence, Long Island, surrounded
by some five acres Of land, is the quiet
retreat where the tired Wall street
magnate, Russell Sage, has enjoyed his
summers for many years. Here he is
a typical Long Island farmer in old
clothes and straw hat. Many a man
farming for bare living could gain
information in his own business from
Russell Sage. He has no use for or.
chtds, and costly fads, but he watches
the development of every field within
a radius of many miles about his
country home. In the stable are halt
a dozen horses. raised and broken to
harness by the great financier, and he
shows the delight of hoy in hitching
them UP and driving over the country
roads. There arc goodly number of
domestic pets. 1t may be said that
there are two Russell Sages. one tho
financier familiar to New York. the
other the man OF leisure in his coun-
try home.

a third after heather gods ard god
