ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Proper Way to Perform an UnpIeas.
a ant Part OF Housework.

ant Part Of Housework.
BY system and by making use of
the many little helps now to be had
at trifing cost even dishwashing.
v,iich most women pronounce the
most onerous duty of the whole
routine of housework-and one
ceases to wonder at the verdict
when contemplating the way the
work is ordinarily done--may be
robbed of its unpleasantness.
That there is a right way to ac-
complish this task should go with
out saying, and as it must go on in
terminably, to greater or less ex-
tent, in all homes the right way is
well worth knowing. The process
should begin instead of end, as is
the common practice, with the cook
ing vessels, says Katherine Mcgee.
"Clean as you go" is the motto ev.
cry cook. should conscientiously fol-
low. There is no wiser economy of
time, to say nothing of labor.
AS soon as the contents of a pot
or pan are turned into the serving
dish the vessel should at once be
washed, wiped and placed on the
back of the range to dry thorough
ly. This can be easily and speedily
accomplished if a wire dishrag and
pot scraper are used.
If, as is sometimes the case, this
plan is not feasible, fill each vessel
with water and cover closely, the
greasy ones with hot water, but
those in which eggs, potatoes or
any flour mixture has been cooked
with cold water. In the latter in
stance hot water would serve only
to form a crust and make the work
of cleansing doubly hard.
Iron or porcelain lined vessels
are best for cooking purposes. Tin,
brass and copper are liable to be af-
fected by acids, oils and salt, and in
the hands of the careless are very
dangerous. Tin vessels should be
kept free from rust. This can best
be accomplished by rubbing them
well when new with lard, then
standing them in the oven until
they are thoroughly heated. Wipe
dry after each washing. When brass
vessels for cooking are in daily use,
they require not only to be we'll
washed in hot suds, bat also in
hot solution of vinegar and salt,
then to be rinsed well and carefully
dried.

Care of Plants.

The first thing necessary to keep
house plants is the preparation of
the soil. 1t is said that a good soil
is made by putting together equal
parts of the three following things:
Soil from the sides of barnyard,
well rotted manure and leaf mold
from the woods, or earth from the
inside of an old tree or stump. Add
a small quantity of sand. For cac-
fuses put as much sand as of other
materials and little fine charcoal.
To make house plants grow 4
most excellent thing is said to be
to saturate the earth around them
every day with the coffee left over
at breakfast.
Five to six drops of ammonia to
every pint of water once week will
make house plants flourish.
A good way to keep geraniums in
winter is to take the plants out of
their pots, trim Off the leaves and
outer branches, shake off all the
soil from the roots, hang them in
punches, roots upward, in a dry,
dark closet or cellar where they
cannot be touched by the frost, In
the spring repot them in good rich
soil.

A Vicious SmuuuIer,

Readiness of resource is not a
characteristic with which one is
likely to credit the Russian peasant,
but this story of a smuggler on the
Russian frontier comes from Sile-
sia and indicates that they may in
some instances possess a nimble
brain, although they use it mostly
in criminal practices.
The smuggler, who was carrying
number of bladders on stick,
was challenged by a customs officer
He said the bladders were not duti-
able; but, the officer persisting in
wishing to examine them, the SNUG
gler detached one and dealt the off
Ger a blow on the head with it.
The bladder, which contained
pure spirit, burst and saturated
him. Quickly the smuggler lit a
match, and the officer was in a
blaze.
Another officer, who saw what
had occurred, ran up and succeeded
in extinguishing the flames, but the
mans life is despaired of. The mis-
creant succeeded in escaping.

If you have a throbbing headache,
slice lemon and rub the bits over
the brow and the pain will soon 90
away. If your hair is falling out,
rub slices of lemon thoroughly into
the roots and over the scalp, wash
ing the head afterward with warm
soft water. Squeeze lemon juice
into milk, rub the mixture over the
face and neck every night and you
will rejoice in the fresh glow of
your complexion.
Mix lemon juice and glycerin, rub
your hands with it at night, and if
you are not too nervous wear large
old gloves, and you will wonder at
their dazzling whiteness.
If you have a wart or q vexatious
corn, rub lemon juice on with un-
firing zeal and bid defiance to mos
quitoes with the touch of your little
yellow friend.
A cup of tea is always improved
by slices of fresh lemon, and we all
know how a well mixed lemon
squash can revive the weary stom-
ach. If you so on a water voyage,
you must certainly take it with you,
for pure lemon juice will rout all
giddiness and seasickness.

oughly cleaned by being washed
with hot beer. When all spots
and dirt have been removed, pol,
ish in the usual way with bees

To economize soap in the laun
dry little pipe clay may de used
for kitchen clothes and other
much soiied clothes. 1t has &
very cleansing effect, and if a lit.
tie be dissolved in the water only
about half the usual amount Of
soap will be required.
The white lead that is used il
painting in oils, and which may
be bought at any shop where art
paints are sold, is the best an,
simplest sort of cement to mend
china. 1t is so durable that dish.
es mended with it can withstand

yards square great convenience.
This may be put under the
machine, sewing chair and cut

fabrics from the dust of the floor.

A pair of feet to do errands of
love, kindness, charity, and busi-

mischief, temptation or sin.
A pair of lips to keep pure from
foul language and unpolluted by
tobacco or whisky, and to speak
true, kind words.
A pair of ears to hear music of
bird, tree, rill, and human voice,
but not to give heed to what the
tempter says.
A pair of eyes to see the beau
tiful, the good, aud the true,
Gods finger prints in the flower,

A mind to remem ber, reason,
decide, and store up wisdom and
impart it to others.
A soul pure and spotless as a

which shape it day by day, as the
