have on an average two coats apiece.
That makes 100000 coats and 4,SOG,'

The Art of Braising.

Braising is a particularly good way
10 treat dry meats like veal, lean beef
from the under part of the round or
the face of the rump, the shoulder OF
mutton, heart, liver, tough fowls,
pigeons or other dry game. The
method of braising Is like the old
time pot roast, only the braising is far
easier in that the water in which it is
cooked does not need replenishing and
there is much less danger of the kettle
burning dry. In each case the meat
is rolled in flour, seasoned with salt,
pepper and just dusting of sugar
to assist in the quick browning. Then
it is Drowned in the bottom of kettle
or frying pan, using some of Its own
fat, drippings or butter as preferred
After this browning process, it is put
into stew pan or braising kettle,
covered with well-favored soup stock,
gravy or even hot water, with herbs
and seasonings, then covered tightly
and left to simmer gently for several
hours.

To Cleanse and Brighten Carpets,
After carpets have been thoroughly
beaten on both sides, the color may be
frightened by the following: Add one
pint of ox-gall to pint of warm wa
ter; into this dip a soaped flannel, and
rub the surface of the carpet well,
rinsing as you proceed with clean
cold water. Use care that the carpet
is not made too wet, and finish by rub
bing with dry coarse cloth. If pos
sible to do this out of doors, or if the
carpet is laid, open all windows, as the
ox-gall has an unpleasant odor. How
ever, this soon passes away. II there
are grease spots on the carpet use the
following mixture: one quart of soft
water; aqua ammonia, two ounces;
one tablespoonful saltpetre; one
ounce shaving soap, finely scraped.
Mix well and allow it to stand several
days. Pour on enough to cover the
spot and rub well. then wash off with
clear water. When ink has been
spilled on a carpet, dip up with a
spoon as much as possible, then pour
cold sweet milk upon the spot, and
keep taking up with spoon and pour
ing on the milk, until the milk is only
family colored with ink, then wash
with cold water and wipe dry. Faded
carpets may be restored by washing
with strong salt water.-The House
keeper.

The ..Father of Leproxv.y

The gecko belongs to a family of
thick tongued lizards, which are wide
~ distributed over the tropical and
subtropical countries of Europe and
Asia, and in all countries where he is
known he is thoroughly despised Be
cause of his repulsive appearance he
is called the father of leprosy' Down
to times comparatively modern it was
firmly believed that contact either di-
rectly or indirectly with the little rep
tile was sure to communicate leprosy
The Investigations of modern zoolo-
gists have proved that the little animal
is undeserving of his name of father
of leprosy" and that he is indeed a
most harmless and useful creature.
Since the old belief in the ability of
this reptile TO communicate leprosy to
any human flesh which might come in
contact with his warty sore looking
skin was exploded he has retained his
Objectionable name solely on account
of the bad appearance he makes. His
skin Is one mass Of scaly and tuber-
culous excrescences that cover his body
from the tip of his tail to the end of
his nose Every quarter inch section
of this repulsive looking body has a
general resemblance to the thickened,
callous protuberances that appear on
the human body in cases of leprosy.
On this account and no other the harm
less little gecko was given the name of
being the progenitor of the worst form
of disease.
