Notes For Housewives.

Alittle box of lime in the pantry
will keep the air pure and dry.
White paint when dirty should
be washed in milk. CoIored paint
may also be treated the same way.
Glyoerine is very slow to freeze,
and if little is put on taps in fros-
ty weather and exposed pipes are
covered with pieces of old carpet or
soaking, the water is not likely to
freeze.
The smell of fresh paint can be
removed by leaving in the room all
night pail of water containing
several sliced onions.
Soda and hot water will remove
grease spots from the kitchen floor.
In sewing on buttons, if the
knot is placed on the right side of
the cloth directly under the but
ton, the thread will be less liable
to break and become loosened, and
the button will remain on longer
Never throw away old gloves.
Keep them to wear while dust
ing. cleaning silver and attending
to other household work of simi-
lar character. By SO doing the
hands will be kept clean and in
good condition.
Tumblers,that have been used for
milk should never be put into hot
water until they have first been
rinsed in cold water The heat
drives the milk in and gives a clou-
dy appearance to the glass, which
cannot be removed
To prevent the odor of boiling
ham or cabbage throw a few bits of
charcoal into the pot in which they
are cooking.

Some people seem to think that
it is the duty of the United States
to intercede in behalf of Venezula,
in the Interest of maintaining the
the Monroe Doctrine. But that
we cannot consistently do since we
violated the spirit of that doctrine
by our conquest of the Philippine
Islands. The foreign powers would
like to seize South American terri
tory, and there are certain financial
interests in this country which
would like to see us participate in
the division The spirit of conquest
is as strong today as it was back in
the time of the Roman wars, but
is actuated by an entirely different
spirit. Then the war spirit ruled
the world. Now the greed fol
wealth rules it.-Wayne News.

Poultry Notes.

Remember, that quality fir the
market; this is true of strictly
eggs, and plump roosters. fton,
Your aim should be to gg on
chick in the egg. the hen or ino--
bator will do the rest.
Women do better than men with
poultry because they take more
pains and attend more carefully &c
the needs of chicks, the old belief
that men have more brains than
women, has moss on it.
The poultry business offers nm.
equalled opportunities for men who
wish to establish themselves in an
independent position.
In building up your flock it is
the part of wisdom to decide on
some breeder with a reputation.
both as to his stock, and his reli.
ability.
Be good listener, reader. and q
hard thinker. put into your work
all the heart and brains at your
command. Remember that some
of the brightest men and women
the Almighty has created have
grown old in the poultry business
and still do not know it all.
Use very little wet food, as it is
apt to cause bowel trouble.
Make it a point to have plenty
of fresh clear water before your
hens at all times.
In poultry business. it pays to
begin on a small scale and work up.
