Editing a Newspaper.

Editing newspaper is nice
thing. If we publish jokes, people
say we are rattle Drained. If we
don't we are fossils. If we publish
original matter they say we don't
give them enough selections. If we
give them selections. they say we
are too lazy to write. If we don't
go to church. we are heathens. If
we do go, we are hypocrits. If we
remain at the office, we ought to be
out looking for news items. If we
go out, then we are not attending
to business. If we wear old clothes,
they laugh at us. If we wear good
clothes, they say We have pull.
Now, what are We to do? Just as
likely as not some one will say we
stole this from an exchange. So we
did.

Household Hints.

Tea leaves moistened with vinegar
will remove the discoloration in glass
caused by flowers.
Piece of sponge packed into a
mouse hole will induce the rodents
to permanently vacate house.
Once a week every pipe and drain
in the house should be flushed with
copperas solution to remove all
odors and sediment.
Until the plumber can come, a
leak can be temporarily stopped with
mixture of yellow soap, whiting
and very little water.
An old tin teakettle with the bot
tom cut out makes an excellent cover
to place over irons heating on gas or
gasoline stoves.
Soap bark jelly is the best all round
cleansing agent that woman can
keep on hand. 1t may be prepared
by putting a handful of soap bark in
aquart of boiling water and letting
it cool.
