How Liverpool Makes Use Of It's
Garbage Remains.
Liverpool has put other places In Its
debt by showing how the problem OF
disposing Of city or town rubbish may
be made to solve itself, says the Wash
ington Star. In Its simplest terms the
solution is, Burn the rubbish; build
houses Of the cindsrs.T
Concrete is already considerably used
In the United States In building and
bids fair to perform useful part In
architecture by outstanding wood and
sparlng the forests. In Liverpool the
cinders left from the burning Of rub
bah at the municipal Instructors" are
crushed and nodded with cement into
great wall slabs. each with Its door and
window openings nodded In place and
even an Interior iron framework for
putting the whole together. The slabs
some Of them weighing eleven tons, are
handled by derricks. When set up the
Iron frames are bolted together and the
joinings closed with cement.
An entire block Of buildings has thus
been erected upon the site Of a dilapi-
dated quarter which was destroyed as
a measure Of necessity. The new
bouses are described as neat, healthful
and very cheap and are expected to
yield to the city per cent upon Its in
vestment.
American cities and towns throw

several split log drags on the unpaved

FOR CHAPPED HANDS.
How to Make an inexpensive Rem
edy For Healing Them.


"These are the days when chapped
hands and lips are ip evidence, and l
suppose most people use pure glycerin
for a remedy" said chemist to rep
resentative OF the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat recently. at is mistake to pre-
sumo that glycerin is cure for such
a condition as this. Quite on the con-
trary, it is distinct aggravant
zone of the best remedies for chaps
] know of is quite simple, and any one
could compound 1t in her own home.
Take ten grains of tragacanth and
place this in three ounces of moder-
ately warm, not hot, water. 1t must
then be allowed to stand for several
hours, when one ounce of glycerin
should be added.
"If 1t is desired to give the prepara-
tion a pleasant perfume, this may be
obtained by adding small quantity
of oil of roses at the same time. The
whole compound should then be mixed
thoroughly either by shaking it up well
or stirring with spoon, after which it
is ready for use.
This remedy is soothing, pleasant
and an almost infallible cure after two
or three applications. AS rule, un-
less the cracks In the skin are very
much infamed, an application of the
compound just before retiring at night
and another In the morning will gener-
ally have the desired result of healing
them.
1T is also fine preventive and few
will be troubled with chapped hands
who rub 1t on the skin in the morning
after washing"

How to Freshen Ostrich TIPS.

Ostrich tips can be freshened by hold.
ing them in the steam from boiling
kettle for few minutes. This fresh
ems them, absorbs the dust and re-
stores the color. They should be well
shaken the whole time. Then, still
shaking, hold them either in the sun
or before fire till they are quite dry.
The curling is best done either with a
stiff piece of whalebone or a silver

A damp cupboard or storeroom is
practically useless, but the damp may
be easily banished. The plan is to put
a box or bucket OF lime in the cup
board or storeroom, as the case may be.
The lime will absorb the damp and
thus render the air quite dry. The
lime must be renewed from time to
time as II loses its powers.

PROTECT THE STREETS
AND KEEP THEM CLEAN
Vory Much to De Derived Along
This Line by Individ-
ual Efforts.

Willie we are making progress In the
art Of keeping the municipal highways
clean, more especially through the bet
tor organization Of the city cleaners,
there Is much still to be desired from
individual efforts, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Litter is carelessly scat
tered. fruit is dropped here and there,
too many evidences OF indifference to
the common good are daily shown.
Nevertheless there has been a great
change for the better In this respect,
and II has been brought about by ap-
peals to the consideration of the In
diyIdual rather than to stringent legis-
latlOn.
In London not long ago pedestrian
slipped on a banana skin and was heav-
lily thrown on the pavement and In fall
ing fractured his skull and died while
being removed to the hospital. Be-
cause of this tragedy the London coun-
" council has enacted an ordinance
that provides for the punishment Of
persons who are apprehended for
throwing banana skins on the London
pavements. In each case a fine OF 40
shllllngs will be imposed, and nothing
Is left to the discretion of the magis-
trate. II the police catch the offender
he will be fined 40 shlllings, and In
London that's a severe punishment for
a minor offense.
or course special legislation Of this
sort isn't usual In our own land, but
the incident goes TO show that the sub
ject of protecting the streets-for this
is one form Of protection-is being
very seriously considered by other mu-
inequalities.

How to Treat an InErowing Nail.
To cure an ingrowlng toe nail take
some lint or old linen and tear it to
shreds, moisten this with carbolic oil
and stuff as much of it as possible un-
der the nail toward the sore, also on the
top Of the nail under the flesh. Change
the dressing daily. and in few days
the nail will be lifted out of the sore.
Then encourage the nail to grow up in
the corner and cut the nail straight
across the top. When the nail has
grown good length, cut piece out of
the center. This will cause 1t to leave
the flesh at the sides and the dlscom-
fort will be passed.
