HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Notes ON Various Matters which

Supervision.

Japanese umbrellas have long been
used TO cover an ugly ceiling. Lanterns
have also been used, but they are not SO
pretty as the soft, bright grapes and
chintzes which make looking upward

An ingenious young woman bought
q roll of mating, plinblc and jointless
with n design of diamonds of blue here
and there. This, with lot OF picture
molding from u sash factory, a paper
of brads, stepladder and considerable
patience helped TO beautify an ugly
room.
Glassware should be washed In hot
soapsuds, rinsed In cold water. A clean
Alass towel does the rest. Use a brush
Tor cut glass. To season new glass.
ware put dishes, tumblers and other
glass articles into kettle, cover them
entirely with cold water and put the
kettle where II will soon boil. When Il
has boiled n few minutes set II aside,
covered close. When the water Is cold
take the glass out.
Wine stains can be removed from
linen by holding In boiling milk. For
fruit stains rub yellow soap on both
sides Of stain and tie u piece of pearl
ash In II and boil In water. When ex.
posed to the sun and air the stain will
gradually disappear.
To clean lamp burners boil them In
water for half an hour and they will be
perfectly clean.
Wipe lamp wicks OF, don't cut them.
Rub burners with sand soap to get
black of and boil them once In awhile
to keep them from smelling. To trim
lamp wicks light the lamp, then turn II
on, turn wick up and scrape with o
knife while warm.
The floor and ceiling OF room should
be as pretty as the walls, and In a like
scheme Of color. Some summer art
students who have mountain college
have made Its walls Of rough plaster,
colored dull brown, which shades on
the ceiling with grayish green. Along
the walls, at the height of the picture

THANKSGIVINCS
The Proclamation Issued by Washington Pro-
claiming National Day of Praise.

we had "A good increase OF Indian corn,
and our barley Indifferent good. but our
pease not worth the gathering, for we
feared they were too late sown. They
came up very late and blossomcd; but
the sun parched them In the blossom.
Our harvest being gotten In, the sov-
efnor sent four men on fowling. so that
we might. after special manner rs-
loice together after we had gathered the
iruit OF our labors. They four IN one
day Killed as much fowl ms. with n little
help besides, served the company almost
week. At which time. amongst other
recreations, we exercised our arms, many
OF the Indians coming amongst us, and
among the rest their greatest king, Mas
sasoyt, with some 90 men. whom for three
Gays we entertained and feasted; and they
went out and killed five deer. which they
brought to the plantation, and bestowed
on our governor and upon the captain and
others. And although Il be not always
picntifyl as II was at this time with us,
yet by the goodness of God we are so far
from want, that We often wish you part
ners OF our plenty"
We believe that first Thanksgiving
scene was one worthy the painters

admiring postcrity. That little band

appeared to have been the chief

feast. IL would not be out of the

wild turkey.
