HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

S teaspoonful of pulverized alum mixed with the common stove polish will givo wonderful polish.
 Scalding the milk for custard pie adds greatly to It's flavor. An addi ton of teaspoonful of brown sugar or molasses is also helpful.
 To keep your favorite cook book open at the right page use band of elastic an inch wide. When not in use you may strap 1t around the closed book.
 To save the great toe of the foot wearing through the hose too quickly cut piece of chamoise and shape 1t to fit over the toe by sewing two pieces together in manner similar to child's moccasin.
 When one is compelled to hang a skirt against the closet wall instead of on hangers extended from the cell ing let the back of the skirt rest against the wall. then If there Is any wrinkling 1t comes at the back where 1t is not noticeable.
 If windows move hard melt a tablespoonful of lard and pour a It. tie between window frame and casing, and also 6 little on the roller and rope. It works like magic. This is . good thing to know when the frames are swollen from being closed during rainy weather.
 Stains made by medicine and lini. ment are often obstinate to remove in the hands of an amateur. Iodine marks may be removed by washing the spots with strong ammonia until t fades, after which wash with tepid water and strong soap. Ammonia is equally good for removing cod liver oil stains. Fuller's earth made into paste and thickly applied to the spots will aIso rauove them.

AIR IN THE BEDROOM.
Sleeping Chamber Should Always Bs
 We'll Ventilated.

It goes without saying that the bed room. according to Dr. Woods Hutch inson in the American Magazine. should be well ventilated. especially In view of the heavy storing up of oxygen in the tissues which goes on during sleep. All windows should be open from the top, at least one, and better two to three feet, so that gentle current of air can be felt blow Ing across the face. It Is just as pure and as wholesome as day air. Night fogs and rain are only injurious in so far as they frighten you into shutting your windows. No air that ever blew out doors is so dangerous or poison ous as that inside bedroom with closed windows. The clothing should be as light as is consistent with warmth. the mattress elastic but firm, the pillow as high as the breadth of the shoulder, SO as to keep the neck and head horizontal or slightly above when lying on the side. The good, hard, common-sense of humanity has solved all these problems, and the modern hair-mattress, or its equiva. lent. single pillow, and blankets, or cheese cloth covered comfort" which can be cleaned and aerated by turning the hose on 1t. can hardly be much improved on. Beyond these there is no virtue whatever in hard beds. fat or no pillows. and cold bed rooms. The boggy feather bed, col lector of the precipitation and diseases of successive generations. the bolster, the eider-down quilt, the hard sail cloth-liks countsrpane. both alright, and the latter heavy as board. have gone to the attic or the ash-heap, where they belong, along with the four-poster and its curtains. the night cap and the warming pan.

Cure for Rlnqworms.

As . cure for ringworms this curl ous recipe was given in the House keepers Guide for 1886: Get the coomb of church bell, that is. the grease which is applied to make it work easy. and with which the metal forms kind of yerdigris; mix it with unsalted lard and apply fresh plaster twice a day. 1t is not super stition that dictates the use of a church bell above any other. but the peculiar combination of metals em- ployed for the purpose produces a different kind of verdigris. This remedy was long kept profound se- cret. and many cures effected at an enormous charge. It has been eqGal ly eficacious as freely and openly communicated"
