Concerning Odors.

An "onion BREATH may be gotten
rid of by eating a small piece of char
coal after the meal This is also an
o1d-fashioned remedy for purifying the
blood. For this purpose the bulk char
coal is far better than that which comes
mixed with sugar and put up in pack
ages.
Charcoal is also an excellent deodor-
izer for the refrigerator, and saucer
full of small pieces should be kept on
one of the Shelves 1t absorbs all i'm
purities and prevents a musty smell.
A teaspoonfu1 of boiling vinegar on
the stove will counteract the smell Of
strong food.
A teaspoonfu1 of ground cloves on a
few hot Goals will have the same effect
A crust of stale bread boiled with
cabbage will absorb the disagreeable
odOr.
A pound of sal soda disso1vd in boil
ing water should be poured in drain
pipes at frequent intervals. This dis
solves the grease and other impurities
A sponge placed in a saucer of hot
water, to which has been added a tea
spoonful Of oil of lavender, will give
forth delicious fragrance of vio1ets
in room. This is especially useful in
the sick room, as flies will not remain
where the odor of oil of lavender is. It
has the added merit of being cheap,
and few cents worth will last long
time
A generous lump of cooking soda
placed in pots and pans in which fish,
cabbage or onions have been cooked
will thoroughly cleanse them and en-
tirely remove the strong odor.

Hea1thfu1ness Of Apples.

Professor J. T. Stinson, director of
pomology at the St. Louis fair, claims
that the liberal use of apples will i'm
prove the disposition and elevate the
moral nature, removing disagreeab1e
feelings and making existence more
enjoyable for ALL He also maintains
that eating raw apples is cure for
alcoholism and the tobacco habit. If
all that he claims for the apple is true,
the professor must certainly be regard
ed as a public benefactor DR.. J. H.
Kellogg thinks it would be a good
thing for most persons if they would
have a periodical "app1e day." when the
diet should be exclusively apples.
Those who find themselves becoming
irritable and disagreeab1e, might at
least try this means of sweetening their
disposition. Often they will relieve a
distressed condition of the stomach.
In case of mental fatigue, they are a
wonderful tonic We have made a
lunch on apples and, while they do not
have staying qualities, an occasional
practice Of this will be found beneficial
generally. Apples in some form should
be on the table at all times.-G Green's
Fruit Grower.

Why Boys Do Not Stay on the
Farm
Farm.

This is an old question, and the
answers are as various as the writer's.
The reasons given by a correspondent
of the Epitomist, seem quite probable,
he says:
When travelling in the old country it
is not uncommon to hear some farmer
brag that his family has worked a GER
tain tract for several generations. It
seems to be their pride-in fact the
height of their ambitions to cultivate
the same farm that their fathers did.
In the United States it is different,
every boy is raised up with the distinct
understanding that some day he can be
President and the only reason that his
father is farmer, is that series of
unforeseen and unavoidable circumstan-
ces overlook him before he rose to a
position higher and not Of his own free
will | have frequently heard fathers
say: Yes, [ had hard time but
am trying to prepare my boy for a
position in some business so he will
not have to labor as I did,"
Father, you are making a mistake
your boy will do better on the farm
than elsewhere, the calling for book
keepers and other business Jobs are all
tull, the average wages compared with
the wages on the farm are small. 7
once heard father Dragging about his
John getting three dollars per day for
two months in the year, he also stated
that his son had a thousand dollar edu-
cation. [ had at that time two men
working for me that [ was paving three
dollars per day and I knew Of dozen
others in the reighborhood at the same
price.

Pretty Feet Always Painful.

Pretty feet are always painful feet
Shoes rarely, If ever, fit them; hence
they carry their possessors haltingly,
and too often they must direct them
selves toward the chiropodist's. The
high arched instep, the pretty foots
essential quality, is yet in way a
deformity, for 1t causes an abnormal
tghtness of the tendon governing the
toes, and the toes in consequence all
turn under little, as though trying to
grasp something. Turning under, the
joints stand out prominently, just as
the knuckles stand out when the fin
gers are closed. The leather Of the
shoe rubs and irritates these prominent
joints, and the pretty foot's pretty own
er pays the penalty in many a smart,
in many jumping pain.-New Or

The Lions OF Venice,

They had a live lion in Venice once.
That was in the great days Of conquest.
They dedicated him to st. Mark and
gave him a gilded cage in the piazza.
He licked off the gliding and died. II
was thought that st. Mark, had he been
pleased by the lion, would not have let
him be killed, even by kindness. The
senate passed decree that In future
no live lion should be brought into the
city. The cage was taken and sunk

Of the senate was live lion seen In

a live imitation lion, and thenceforth,
always on that day and In that place,
such lions abounded, and one Of them
at least was there on that day this
