SUGGESTIONS for the Housewife.

To make a low room look higher let
the curtains hang to the floor. Short
curtains make the room look lower
than ii is.
To clean tinwarc use powdered whit

1t is better to clean lamp chimneys
with a cloth moistened with parattin,
as they will then not crack so readily
as they do when dipped in water.
Salads ave most important. For
lunchtons they form the chief dish,

cheese and waters.
a small quantity of ordinary cider

Soiled photographs may be cleaned
by being sponged with cold water and
dried by laying them face downward
on soft cloth and pressing the backs
with the palm of the hand. The
mounts should previously be rubbed
with tho crumbs of stale bread.
When busting use slightly damp
cloth, for ii viii gather up and hold
the dust far better than n dry one.
This plan, however. should not be fol-
lowed in the ease of black polished
furniture, as the damp cloth frequent
ly gives it a smeared appearance.
If one cannot have a marble slab for
the top of the kitchen table, the best
covering is zinc. 1t may be kept
clean easier and servants cannot harm
it with the knife when cutting bread
and peat. If only table oilcloth can
be afforded the tan-colored in small
check will be found the most service
able of any, for it will not show stains
readily.
Let old tea leaves gather for a few
days, then soak in water in a tin pail
for half an hour. strain through a
sieve. and use liquor for cleaning
vanished paint 1t makes it look like
new. But do not use on unvarnshed
paint It cleans windows, mirrors and

will cost only few cents. Dip a
piece of flannel into warm water
squeeze nearly dry and dip it into the
whiting. Then rub the paint with
the whiting and all the dirt and grease
will disappear and the paint will look
like new, no matter how delicate.
To mend glass and china take half

continuing Lord Lansdowne referred
to other questions which have arisen
during the war, especially that of con-
traband. which had been largely
cleared up and since July there had
been no case of Selling a British ship
by Russian vessels.
Il am sanguine enough to say" Lord
LansdoWne remarked. that good is
likely to come from the struggle in the

that this terrible war will give a slim

taken. Is not there 4 better way than
this? Is it not better to so arrange
matters that Il dispute shall not arise
at all?'
Lord LansdoWne then referred to the
Anglo French arbitration treaty and
said he hoped it would be adopted by
Il large majurty of the Chamber of
Deputies and that it would be eifrctu-
al in removing dangerous and difficult
questions from international cOntro-
Vcrsy. He saw something of this in the
assistance Great Britain has received

French government. in bringing about
an :tlnic;lblc settlement between Great
