USEFUL FAcTs TO KNOW.


Here are a few suggestions in regard
to the things which a careful house
wife may find it wise to teach the new
maid:
Teach her to put as much furniture
as possible outside the room before
beginning TO sweep, to brush the rest
and cover it with dust cloths.
Teach her to soak newspapers in cold
water, squeeze them, tear them into
bits, and sprinkle ON the door to pre-
vent dust flying.
Teach her TO rub the carpet well after
sweeping with a cloth wrung out Of
clean ammonia water-one tablespoon
full TO two quarts Of water.
Teach her to wipe the polished floor
with damp cloth and then rub with
a dry one.
Teach her to cover soft broom with
a clean cloth, and brush the ceilings
and walls.
Teach her to clean the windows while
the dust is settling.
Teach her to use a fat paint brush
for window frames and latehes.
Teach her to remove the spots or
finger marks on white woodwork with
a cloth wrung out OF warm water and
dipped in prepared chalk American

The Waterbury Comm Democrat in
decryng yellow journalism says that
50 far as its typographical appearance
is concerned, 1t does not accord with
good taste. Its hysterlcal headlines
and succotash makeup doom It to even
tual disaster. 1t is perhaps fad with
some just at the present time, but the
man who likes his reading matter fur
nished SO that he can erjoy it with as
little effort as possible positively dis
likes freak makeup in his newspaper.
He does not care to wade through col

A USE FOR OLD NEWSPAPERS,

Here is a hint that the writer got
from the head clerk Of big hotel at
a popular Indiana health resort. We
know the germs that lurk III dust.
and how disagreeable. as well as I'M
healthy 1t is TO inhale it while sweep
ing. Now the way that the carpet
sweepers at this resort keep down the
dust while welding the broom. is to
wet newspapers. wiring them out slight
ly. and tearing them into small pieces,
scatter them all over the surface they
are going to sweep. The little dampen-
ing brightens the carpets without in
juring them in the least, and the moist
paper effectually keeps down the dust,
or at least the greater portion Of it. by
catching it on itself The paper is
then burnt, which is the quickest and
neatest way Of getting rid of it. Where
brussels carpet has become somewhat
dingy. the water in which the paper
Is wet might have a little turpentine
added to It, as it has a refreshing and
Frightening effect, and has a tendency
to keep the carpet free Of insects and
moths.
One way to prevent the dust from en-
tering the throat and lungs while
sweeping, Is to tie small sponge
over the mouth and nose. A person
can breathe all right through the por-
Gus sponge, and it takes up the dust
which would otherwise be inhaled

Skirts are shirred, puffed, tucked and
trimmed with lace rufles and embroid-

This is the season when coat suits
and rain coats are most in demand,

Long jackets Of faultless cut and
perfect fit are very becoming, and give
to the wearer quite a distinguished

Many Of the hats are trimmed with
wreaths, half-wreaths, rosettes Of rib

foliage.
The small hats are worn with street
costumes Of tailor-made severity; the
larger hats add much charm to gowns
Of more elaborate rtyle.

FOR ROUND sHoULDERED GIRLS

| Although gymnastics are so prevalent
these days, there is danger for the
young growing girls becoming round
shouldered, and probably no one suf-
fers greater agony Of modification than
the girl or woman with this afiiction.
The girl Of fourteen can easily avoid
round shoulders and cultivate an erect
carriage If she will. First Of all, it is
necessary for her to become accus-
toned to sleeping without a pillow,
a pillow pushes the shoulders forward,
and the pillow habit, moreover, is an
unnatural one. which civilized folks
have cultivated, Babies do not require
them and they rather object when one
is placed under their little heads.
All day long the round shouldered
girl should walk as though she were
balancing a book On her head, and If
she cannot keep this thought in her
mind, let her remember to keep the
back Of her neck pressed against her
collar This will keep the head and
shoulders erect, and help to acquire
good carriage. To strengthen the shoul-
der muscles and broaden the chest take
this exercise every day 1fty times in
the morning and fifty times at night.
Standing in a doorway, spread both
arms until the hands touch the door
ledge on either side OH level with the
shoulders. Grasp the ledge firmly and
then step forward as far as you can
without removing the hands from their
position. Now step backward as far
as possible. Walk back and forth in
this manner the given number Of times.
Each time the muscles Of the chest are
brought into action. When you are
seated in a chair be sure that your
spine is straight and have it touch
the back Of the chair. If the growing
girl would remember these things ana
watch herself constantly. she would
have no need for gymnastlc exercises
when she grows up.--Newark Adver-
tiser.
