IN A BOARDING L

One of our professional brick
pressers, whose wife works very hard
at washing, ironing and cleaning and
keeps her children neat and nicely
dressed, got jealous of an old ac-
quaintance who was boarding with
them, because two fresh eggs were
cooked for the boarder's breakfast,
and he couldn't have the same bill
of-fare. Eggs are eggs just re
doncher know? Eggs are from IT,
ty to forty cents a dozen and street
brick pressers don't pay as high a
board as some workmen do and are
not entitled to such luXuries. Well,
the wife seeing that it wasn't going
to be all talk, but that a row was i'm
minent, told them to go down stairs
and they acted on her advice, but she
had to go down stairs too, and sep
arate the two and the star boarder
was forced to look for another board
ing house. So after all, does it pay
to work when one can have a wife
work, and one can put the star
boarder out just because he ate two
eggs for breakfast?

PROPER WAY TO SWEEP.
A Good Ready Before You Begin That
Work Does Not Prove Injurious
to Furniture.

To sweep properly is to take up the
dirt already there, without causing
lore.
This can only be done by exercising
care and Judgment, and looking be-
fore you sweep" to paraphrase the oio
proverb.
Before commencing remove all drap-
cries and portieres, and hang them OUT
in a shady spot so that the sun Will not
fade them. Then follow suit with all
the sofa pillows, placing them on the
porch. if you have one.
If o do not intend taking down your
other curtains. the lace ones, shake them
we'll where they hang and beat them
lightly with a cane and then pin tfem IN
neat folds high enough up to be out OIL
the dust caused by the sweeping. DO
not bunch them carelessly together, or
you will have a lot of ugly creases IN
them which will offend the eye.
Next take a whisk and carefully brush
each piece of upholstered furniture,
looking carefully into each nook ana
Granny for that destructive agent, the
miller moth. 1t is a good thing TO dip a
cloth in naphtha and wash, all around
the button dimples. When you have
done this cover with an old sheet which
should be kept for this purpose.
The young housekeeper will find a
store of these dust sheets a blessing to
her. They can be bought ready made OF
unbleached cotton. or else the old
patched and darned ones a be put on
one side and kept for this.
Each upholstered piece should be
swathed in a covering as fast as cleansed
and secured into place with pins. This
will save time afterwards by keeping the
dust off.
When this is all finished start in on
the ornaments; wash all that is wash
able with ammonia and water and dry
with a linen cloth.
Those that cannot be washed must be
busted accurately, not perfunctorily.
This extra trouble, as it may seem, be-
fore starting in on the sweeping will
amply repay you when you have finished
cleaning and are ready to put every
thing in place again.
Having covered as many pictures as
you can, particularly those hanging low
on the walls, you are ready to CON-
mence the sweeping.
Sweep all the dirt from the sides to
the center of the o and then to the
door and into the dustpan, which is
ready to receive its burden.-Philadel-
nhia Press.
