and dissolve them in thirteen drains OF
pure alcohol. Shake till dissolved. Their

the bottle Of mixture against wall

clear IL promises fair weather. When II
is muddy on clou0y II is a siss6 % ia ia.
When little white flakes settle in the
bottom il means that the weather is
growing colder. and the thicker the de-
posit the colder il becomes. Fine. starry
flakes forctell storm, and large flakes
are signs of SNOW. When the liquid
seems full of little threadlike forms,
says Home Chat, that gradually rise TO
the top. il means wind and sudden
storms. Try this, and you will find ii
more reliable than many a costly

How to Fold Napkins.

To fold a dinner napkin iron it all
over on the right side. having first
pressed the initial or monogram over
a padded surface. Fold in halves with
the wrong side out; nov turn one hem
back to the middle fold, which brings
the right side to view; then turn the lin
en- over and bring the other hem to the
fold. You now have on one long side
two folds and on the other edge one
fold and two hens. Fold again in the
middle, then turn one end under and
the other over on top, and the napkin
will lie fat, with all hens and folds
even. If large napkin is folded in
the common way the thickness of the
linen at the folds will draw the edges
back and make them uneven. Illus
trate with square Of paper, if neces-
sary, to teach the trick of folding the
linen TO secure smoothness.

PAPERlNG A ROOM.
How to Measure and Hang the strips.
Recipe For Paste.

Remember double roll of paper con-
tains seventy square feet when you
wish to ascertain the amount required
for room, says the Housekeeper.
Walls that have never been papered
should be covered with size. This is
made by adding six quarts of hot wa
ter to one-half pound of glue which has
been softened by standing all night
covered with cold water. Walls that
have been painted should I've gone over
with ammonia water-one part of am
monia to six parts water. Board cell
ings must be covered with cloth before
papering.
To paper the ceiling cut as many
strips as will be necessary to cover it
and leave long enough to allow about
two inches, taking care to make the
pattern match. Draw a chalk line
across one end of the ceiling sixteen
inches from the wall as a guide for
hanging the first strip which goes be-
tween this line and the wall and will
lap down on the side a little. Lay the
strip on a table, apply the paste even
", fold both ends toward the center,
making them meet and being careful
that the ends are even. Trim the pa
per with shears. Unfold one end, COM
mence at the side and start the strip
straight by the line, smoothing it down
as you go with a brush. Keep the rest
of the paper in front of you, letting it
hang over a roll of paper which you
hold in your left hand.
After the first strip is on the rest is
easy. The last strip must also lap
down on the side wall Cut the paper
for the side wall long enough to come
under the border a little. Begin to
lay it at the Size of a window or door
Unfold the top of the strip. put in po-
sition. then work downward. Lay on
each strip in the same manner put on
the border and the work is done.
The following is good recipe for
paste: Take one and one-half pints Of
flour, rub smooth in a quart of cold
water, add four quarts of boiling wa
ter and let boil slowly. stirring con-
stantly ten minutes. When cold. stir
in one tablespoonful Of powdered alum
Never use warm paste and make it
quite thin.

How to Keep the Hands smooth.

Most housekeepers who do their own
work suffer more or less in winter
with chapped hands, as diShwashing
and taking up ashes are especially ir-
ritating to them. If oatmeal is kept
on the washstand and little used
every time the hands are washed il
will do much toward keeping them in
good order. \ preparation that will
counteract the effect of ashes or alllali
soapsuds is made of common vinegar
and cream or milk in equal parts. The
hands may be saved a great deal by
wearing heavy gloves when sweeping
and doing many kinds of work, and
there are close fitting rubber gloves
that may be used in washing dishes.
