Points on Evesiuht.

On trip through Iceland the
traveller sees thousands Of mountains
covered with eternal snow, rivaling
the Alps in grandeur; great geysers
and innumerable hot wells; water
falls, one of which-the Gullfoss-is
second only to Niagara in size and
beauty; crystal streams and lashing
rivers; lava beds of fantastic
figures, covered with moss that glis-
tens in the sun like hoar frost, and,
as a crowning glory, the atmosphere
is so brilliant, that objects over so
miles distant appear close at hand

KITCHEN AND SCULLERY HINTS.

Here are some good suggestions
for your kitchen: Have your shades
and curtains of white muslin that can
be -laundered. When using your gas
stove in the summer, cover the top of
your coal range with newspapers,
which will make a handy table. Have
your rack near the stove, so that your
towels will get well dried after each
dishwashing. A small shelf should
be put up near the stove to hold your
salt and pepper box. Cover the wall
back of your sink with oilcloth, pref
erably white, and here MAJ be hung
your sink broom, shovel, dish mop
and soap box. In box or drawer
may be kept the necessary articles
for ironing, says Woman's Life. The
top may be covered with oilcloth, and
will give an extra table. A chest
of drawers is useful and almost nec-
essary for keeping the kitchen towels
and aprons, besides many other use
full articles. 1t is well to Keep in the
kitchen bottle of linseed oil and
lime water together with a roll of
old linen pieces for bandages, for use
in case of burns.

RUGS FROM BEDsPREADs.

Two old bedspreads were colored
blue, cut in strips and woven, as for
rag carpet, into rugs, one four by six
feet and two others of less dimen-
sions. A white fringe finished the
ends, and the velvety surface Of the
rugs when woven gave them an Or

Reindeer in Alaska.

It is now nearly 20 years since Dr.

deer were brought over by DR.. Jack

WHITENING LINEN.

Linen that has become yellow with
age, should be whitened according to
one housewife, by boiling in lather
made of gallon of milk and pound
of pure white soap. Put this in
double kettle so the milk does not
scorch. Rinse through several waters
in the last of which has been put a
little blue.-New York Press.

NATURES BEAUTIFIERS.

Cucumber juice is the best of all
bleaches for the skin.
When cucumber cannot be OBJ
tanned, fresh, ripe grapefruit will be
found good substitute. Cut open
and rubbed on the face, it is a tonic

A ripe tomato cut and rubbed on
the face tones and refreshes the skin
and, in some cases, will remove yell
low spots, including freckles.-Pitts-

A woman should bring into her

System and foresight will do much to
