The Spring Cleaning.

April and May, according as one is
forehanded or little behindhand, are
the principal months for what is known
as the spring cleaning. Now there are a
number of simple but efecual methods
of cleaning furniture, paint, woodwork,
etc., which, if more widely known and
practiced would prove boon and a
blessing to the careful housewife, not
only by saving the expense incurred by
resorting to the professional cleaner, but
by preventing the almost wholesale de-
struction wrought by iniudicious clean
ing.
Chinese and Japanese mating may be
much improved by sponging with strong
salt and water, but the wet must not be
allowed to sink through.
A very good polish for hard wood floors
is made by scraping l OF. of beeswax
into about half teacupful of linSeed oil,
and gradually dissolving it in turpentine
till of the thickness of cream. This is
applied with wooden cloth, and after
wards rubbed with soft buster. This
mixture is equally good for linoleum,
and for stained floors. Should floor re-
quire RESTRAINING, one quart of cold-drawn
linseed oil, well mixed with 12 ounce OF
rose pink, and ounces of alkanet root,
will provide a very nice stain. 1t should
be left standing by the fire for three or
four days, and will then be ready for use.
Rub it on the floor with large white
wash brush, leave it to dry; repeat this
process once more, and then when dry
polish with the mixture just given for
hardwood floors.
Paper hangings demand most careful
treatment, and it is seldom wise to at,
tempt more than busting them with a
soft cloth. Rubbing with stiff dough is
often suggested, but, unless this is most
skilfully done, the result is streaky ap.
pearance-much worse than general
| uniform dirtinesS. The dough, however
may be used to remove grease spot
provided that the paper is sufficiently
substantial to allow of the necessary rub
bling; with a thin, poor quality of paper
it might produce hole. $50
| Ali paint should be cleaned with a
little ammonia in quantity OF warm
not hot-water, and finished with
sponge and clean, cold water, never
touching it with cloth. In the case Of
white paint, a little whitening may bt
added to the water.
Gilt frames of every description require
the greatest care, and after thorough
busting with feather brush, should b'
merely sponged with very little turpen
tine, not too wet, but only just mois
enough to remove the dirt and the fly
marks.
For alabaster, ornaments, ETC., make
paste with quick lime and water, leave
it on for few days, and then wash of
with warm water and soap.-Ex.

Uncle Hiram's Smirk.

Uncle Hiram Bradley. who lives across
the Delaware in New Jersey, Is getting
along in years, and his good wife and
daughters have long besought him to 20
and have his photograph taken. Last
week one day Uncle Hiram brought
load of potatoes to the city, and they
panned out so we'll that he concluded to
humor the family and give them little
surprise by visiting photographer. de
got shaved and had hair cut prepare
tory to the undertaking, and when he
returned home was careful not to men,
ton what he had been about.
A day or two later one OF the girls
went to the post Office and brought home
package of cabinet photos. When
they opened it, she exclaimed in astonish'
ment,
"Good land, if it amt pa!'
The rest of the family crowded around
and looked over her shoulder, and at
that moment Uncle Hiram happened in,
"Did woman photographer take that
picture?" demanded Mrs. Bradley, turn
ing upon him.
"Why, no, ma" said Uncle Hiram
hesitatingly. "What on airth made you
| ask Sucn question:!
because, Hiram Bradley" his good
wife continued, severely, "you've got on
the identical smirk that you had wher
you used to come a-courtin'. haven't
seen it before in thirty years."
Uncle Hiram's daughters regarded
their fathers picture with renewed
curiosity, and Uncle Hiram, seeing thai
some sort of explanation was necessary
proceeded:
"Well, ma, it wasn't no woman photog
rapher, but the young fellow who die
take it, after he fixed me up in the chair
bit, said, Now, sir, just look pleasant!
and s'posed | had to-"
"Well," said Mrs. Bradley, after an

How to Treat Your Face.

Don't wash your face too often, is
one beauty's good advice.
Don't wash it at ALL" is another S
counsel.
Don't be goose" says third, "but
use little common sense and wash your
face twice daylight and morning"
Don't wash it oftener. If cleansing is
necessary during the day use little
cold cream. Washing the face too fire.
quently removes the natural oil and gives
the skin withered look.
Don't use hard water if you value your
complexion. The excess of lime in hard
water neutralizes the oil in the pores OF
the skin, and thus hardens the cuticle.
| Don't use any but rain water or dis,
titled water Rain water is, in fact, the
only water fit to wash the face with
MANY beauties of romance owed theil
charms to its saving virtues. 1t keeps
the skin soft and velvety, and makes
beauty last as long as life itself.
Don't be afraid of soap. 1t is not the
enemy to the complexion that many peo'
pie consider it. 1t is infinitely better
for the skin than the dirt which will col
lect in the pores.
Don't forget, however, to rinse the
face with clear water, after using soap
because you don't want any left on the
face to clog the pores. Once day is
quite often enough to use soap.
Don't use sponge; it no longer fills
Ilong-felt want on the toilet table, because
lit is apt to become filled with germs
poisonous to the skin. Use bit of anti
septic cloth.
Don't be afraid of complexion brush
Used gently, in connection with a toilet

ing the blotchy appearance of the skin
| Don't dry the face with rough towe

the delicate appearance of the skin.
| Don't think that the skin is as thick az
the hide of the rhinoceros and treat it &C
cordingly. If you do, you will have pre-
mature wrinkles and lose delicacy OF
coloring.
Don't battle the face with clear alcohol
| it is too drying to the skin. A little rose
scented alcohol may be used occasionally
to advantage, particularly if the skin !:
oily.
Don't use water on the face if it is sun
burned. Dip soft cloth in sweet cream
and lay it over the nose and cheek. The
relief is almost instantaneous.

Identified at Last.

DR.. Nicholas Sem, the Chicago sur

ago, and in the small town of Sundance
an odd adventure befell him.
He had letter of introduction to a
rancher called Walton, and, stopping the
first man whom he met in Sundance, he
said:

"Well," said the stranger, there's a
good many Waltons hereabouts, which
Walton might you be lookin' for?"
"John Walton" said Dr.. Sem.
"There's four John Waltons in Crook
County," said the native.
"This one keeps very fine stock"
"All the Waltons keep mighty fine
stock"
