How to Dust Properly.

The proper method of busting furni-
ture has to be learned. 1t does not
come naturally. People rarely begin
with duster in each hand, which is
absolutely necessary to success. That
in the left hand is needed TO prevent
leaving finger marks when steadying
and lifting the furniture Each piece
should be wiped lightly from the top
downward to remove dust, and then.
after the duster has been shaken out
of the window mot over the carpeU,
1t should be rubbed vigorously to raise
the polish. A stuffed cushion should
be brushed and then busted before the
wood is dealt with, or the dust will
fly out and settle on the wood. The
legs and spindles should be rubbed
between the two busters with both
hands, as we rub cold hands together
TO warm them. This is a saving of
time and insures all sides being equally
bright.

To Clean Lamp Chimnevs.

An easy way to clean lamp glasses is
to hold them for a moment in the
steam from a boiling kettle, rub dry
with clean cloth and polish with soft
newspaper. Remember that no lamp
can be expected to burn well unless
the burner is kept clean. Duplex
burners can be taken apart if the little
bolt which is on the side opposite the
handle for turning the wick is removed.
Then they can be brushed clean. Boil
ing them in. soda water is sometimes
recommended, but this is not neces-
sary. ....,s n,sf

Open Air Good For hair.

1t is a good plan for the general well
fare of the hair to allow it to hang
loose as much as possible, particularly
in the open air. Plenty of sunshine
upon even the darkest hair will give it
a golden tint. But the hair must be
perfectly dry when thus exposed.
Nothing gives lustre to the hair like
brushing and massage. While brush
ing clears away the dust and thus re.
moves the outward artificial coating
which would hide the natural gloss of
the hair, massage of the scalp stimu-
lates the action of the blood vessels at
the roots of the hair and gives added
vlgor to the capillary substance itself.

Yess Well, Here Is One Man Who

"We all say that we'd like to be
young again, but l doubt if we really
mean it," says Harvey Sutherland in
Ainslee's. "We'd like to have as good
health as we had when we cast our
first vote, and we'd like it if we Iidn't
have to visit the dentist so often and
so expensive4y. But if it came to the
point that the genii bounced out be-

your wish? l will obey, and the 9th

should study quite awhile, with many
a 'Why-ah, let me see now,' before
we plucked up the courage to blurt
out, Make me twenty-One again.
Because, you know, you haven't
any too much sense now, with all
your experience of the world, and if
you were twenty-One again it would
have to be in mind as well as in body.
The mind is what the body is. 1t
seems a terrible price to pay for a
new set of teeth and an undiscriminat
ing appetite. What? To walk again
that weary, tortuous road; to discover
again how many kinds of a fool and
a failure one can be, and not half try
either; to have to take over again all
those terms of old Professor Expert
ence? Huh-uh! Not for me. You
may if you like. Even if l could start
anew with what l have learned of
life, which would come far short of
what should really need, it seems to
me that it would be bore to have to
sit through the performance again.
