CLOSING THE HOUSE.
Hints as to How This Important Duty
Should be Done.

Cover the carpets with dust sheets
or newspapers.
Take down the curtains and put
them away; remove chair covers and
fold them. .sf
Take down pictures and lay them
carefully on sofas or beds.
Put china in cupboards or drawers,
and when this is not possible cover
them over with light dust sheet or
newspaper. f
Cover up every piece of furniture
In dust sheets or newspapers.
To avoid any risk of damage from
damp take care that nothing is left
near windows or fireplaces, and that
the furniture is packed in the center
Of each room.
Carefully close and fasten ell win
dows except in rooms where there Is
q geyser or gas stove ~
Take special notice OF skylights,
and leave nothing where any wet can
penetrate.
Wrap up steel tenders and fire irons,
and do not leave them near the fire.
places.
If afraid of moth, shake and fold
blankets and woolen goods, sprinkle
the edges with pepper, and put Jumps
of napthallne between them.
Should there be any place where
the rain comes in, leave cloths. or
wedge with old rage.
Empty the lamps and oil stoves, and
IL the house is damp, grease with NUT
ton fat any metal article which might
be liable to rust.
Lastly, pull down blinds and fasten
the shutters and leave the house
under the charge OF the police, ask
ing them to give 1t particular notice.
All valuables, such as silver, should
be sent to the bank
