Stains on Sver-Dars stains on silver pieces

for cleaning silver, and il the spots had not been

To Prevent Moths-To keep moths from cup
boards and drawers where woolens stored,
line them with newspapers and sprinkle with
turpentine; cover we'll with newspapers. The
moths dislike the scent of both printing ink and
turpentine.
How TO Obtain White Boards.-Do not scrub
white boards with hot soda-wnter il you wish
them to remain white, Cold soapy water is the
right thing, scrubbing the right way of the grain,
and little clean white sand will remove any
thing in the way of stains and grease.

then go around again, repeating until all has been
gone over. Or, better, take about two quarts Of
wheat bran, tie it in bundle OF coarse flannel
and rub 1t over the paper. 1t will clean the pa
per nicely If done carefully, 80 that every spot
is touched, the paper will look almost like new.
Dry cornmeal applied with n cloth may be used
instead OF bread. If grease spots appear put
blotting paper over the spots; press with a hot
natron.

THE RETICULE: ITS MANY VERSIONS.
The handbag is an item of dress that has been

FOR TOOTHACHE.
A good thing for toothache is to make little
ball of cotton soak it in oil of cloves or oil Of
peppermint, and put into the decayed tooth But
if the nerve is exposed, the toothache is liable
to return at any minute, and the best thing TO
do is to go to the dentist and have the tooth out.

light short strokes. The powder carries the oily
moisture with it, and leaves the hair soft and
fluffy, and ready for the irons.
