Hnrr to Drive Arvnx Insects.


 Bits of raw cotton or wadding sat urated with the oil of pennyroyal and placed in corners, on closet shelves and in boxes or drawers will drive away several kinds of objectionable insects, cockroaches, ants, etc., says the Wom- ans Home Companion. Placed in a saucer in the windows, 1t will help drive away flies. Saturated pads of the pennyroyal placed between the mattress and around the bed will drive away the plague not given in the list of those with which Egypt was scourged for her sins. For this dread full pest another excellent preventive and cure is an application to infested places of equal parts of kerosene and spirits of turpentine. Put the solution in the joints and cracks of the bed, about the surbase and in any other places where the insects have found lodgment and fill all cracks with hard soap that can be so treated. This is an old fashioned and reliable remedy.

The Too Kind Mother.

Too little selfishness on the part of a mother is apt to beget too much of it in her children and her husband. Per- petual surrender of her rights and priv ileges breeds corresponding indifference and neglect from her family without their realizing it. She has so To yielded all the new dresses. to daughters that they think any, --ng will do for her. "She doesn't care much about going out, anyhow. There's no use asking her to take a ride or to go to the picnic; she's used to staying at home"

Pointers For the Cook.

Add a little vinegar to the water in which the fish is cooked and the flesh will be firmer and white.
 When a teaspoonfu1 of baking pow der is called for in the rule, it means a level measurement.
 It is said that the raw potato has an acid that not only keeps the knife blade clean, but actually preserves it's sharpness.
 A little white sugar in the water in which green vegetables are boiled will preserve their color and is better than the use of soda
 What salt is to an egg, such is rice to gumbo. No self respecting cook would ever think of parting the two.
 To the left over" cabbage that was stewed in milk try adding a beaten egg and baking till brown.
 Veal is one of the cheapest of meats from May to October.

CORRECT BREATHING.

How to Inhale and Exha1e-S0ne
 Good Exercises.
 The air in the bottom of many pair of lungs is like the dead air in an un- ventilated cellar. A conscious effort must be made to expel the residual air at the base of the lungs for chest expansion, blood purification, radiant health and lasting beauty.
 Deep breathing exercises, through the uostrils, never the mouth, should be practiced night and morning, says the New York News. Thorough respira- ton increases the red corpuscles of the blood and purifies the entire circula- tory system. ..5..
 Thorough respiration frees the lungs of the noxious carbon. gas and bodily impurities thrown off in the form of watery vapor of the breath. E
 At least ten deep inhalations of fresh air should be taken upon or before rising every morning and the same be- fore going to bed every night. These may be taken either in an upright or recumbent position. .-
 If lying down. lie flat upon the back, arms extended. and. slowly inhale through the nostrils. Try to3fill every air cell of the lungs. The abdomen should rise first, then the chest, as the lungs become inflated. After holding the breath little expel 1t slowly through the lips. Fill and empty the lungs as thoroughly as possible and try to realize that health, vitality, en- ergy and beauty are in each incoming breath and impurity, weakness and disease are being discarded with every exhalation. -r-..
 The breath is the life.

EXTRAORDINARY!

EXTRAORDINARY No other word so ably describes the values here offered, for with the cotton market soaring almost to an unreachable Toint, cottons are necessarily very hard to get, hence the finished product in SHEETS AND PILLOW CASES are correspondingly high in price. In the face of these facts, we are able to quote the following low prices on this class of goods only by our good fortune in having them bought months ago, before the advance in price, but we'll give you our word, twill be many a day before such values are again of fered If you're fitting up your shore or country home this is an excellent op- portunity for saving. All goods torn hand finished and ironed ready for use.

The Lords Mistake.

George had been taught to believe that if he wanted anything very much he must pray for it. He was anxious to have a bicycle, so each night he would add to his prayers the request that one be sent him for his birthday.

Tortoise shell that has become dingy may be cleaned by wiping the article with a soft cloth, then rubbing well with a paste made of rotten stone and sweet oil, next applying jewellers rouge and finally polishing with a piece of chamois.
