What to Do When Table Linen Grows
ThIn-HelpfuI Hints

Too little attention is paid to the
wear and tear of tablecloths and
napkins, as a rule. They are washed
and ironed and put away regardless
of the places that are becoming thin
and worn until these spots become
holes and it suddenly dawns on the
di-mayed houschccper that her table
linen is going all to pieces"
If tiny holes are found in table
linen the first thing to do is to darn
them neatly, selecting the numbers
Of thread or cotton best suited to
the material TO be darned, using a.
fine needle as possible. If the ma
terial is much worn it is best to lay
a piece of the same under the thin
place and darn down upon it. This
gives strength, though it does not
look quite as neat as it would with
ont the extra piece of material be-
meath. \ ragged tear always must
have an extra piece beneath

Ireatino Warts.

Childrcn's hands are often distig-
ured by warts, and they can be
cured in a simple way. Get harris
horn and sweet oil of equal mix
ture and paint the warts with this
each day. 1t is slow, yet thorough
" satisfactory. Acetic acid touched
to the most tenacious warts will in
time kill them. and they can be
easily removed. Most children,
however, object to your cutting
even the dead part away. since they
have a fear Of its hurting. After
removing warts wash the parts with
a weak solution of carbolic acid. \
drop of peroxide of hydrogen in the
cavity will cleanse all impurities.
Do not believe III such absurd
things as supcrstItlous persons en-
terrain for the removal of warts,
for warts are almost us difficult to
remove a> teeth, and the foolish no.
ton which has ever prevailed of
causing them to disappear through
some magic is not II he thought of

Prevention Of Cooking Odors.

Odors from cooking, the careful
housewife may be glad to know, can
be prevented by tying up in a linen
bag a lump of bread about the size
of billiard ball and placing it in
the pot with the boiling greens,
ham, etc. This will absorb the
gases which oftentimcs send such an
eilluvium to the regions above. A
few red peppers or pieces of char
coal put into the pot are also said
to stop the unpleasant odor which
generally fills the house when green
vegetables are boiled.

ed Charles Watcrson, an English
squire, who in early life had wan
dercd through many lands as a nat
urallst, intent on making collections
If birds, reptiles, insects and wild
beasts.
The bedroom where the squire
slept and also prepared the speci-
mems in his natural history collec-
ton was in the roof and open to the
raftcrs. Across a stretched rope
were thrown striped blanket and
his working clothes. The furniture
was rough, coarse and scanty-an
old deal table, three crazy chairs, a
deal clotheSprcss and chest Of
drawers. The floor, deal boards,
was interpreted.
Mrs. Byrnc, who narratcs the in
cident i'll her volume, Social Hours
With Celebrities" on surveying it
remarked on the anomaly of bed
room lacking bed.
1--WE long learned that a bed is
useless luxury" said the squire,
drawing from corner an oblong
block of oak two feet long, ten
inches wide, eight inches deep, hol-
lowed and polished in the middle.
Then he pulled down the striped
blanket, rolled it around him and
lay down on the bare boards, resting
his head on the block.
"Thcre, that's my bed! It's soon
made, and III answer for it none of
you sleep more soundly than l."
For thirty years the block and
blanket had been the squirc's bed,
summer and winter, in health and
sickness. When travelling, as he
couldn't carry about his timber pill
low, he used the best substitute he
could devise. Once he was Mrs.
Byrne's guest in London and. as
usual, retired to rest at 9 o'clock.
The German maid. not supposing
that he had retired at so early an
hour, went into the bedroom to take
in the can of hot water. She gave
a scream and rushed out. The next
morning her mistress asked for an
explanation.
"Ach, veil may you ask! l vent
into de room. and vat did see? A
long body roll up in a blanket on &c
floor and a cray head on portman-
| teau."

Floor Polish.

For a useful floor polish take two
ounces of white and yellow wax, an
ounce of white soap and quart Of
boiling water. Shred the soap and
the wax and melt them in sauce

Mix by stirring and pour into jar
or bottle until wanted for use.
Apply with a WOODEN rag or u

other flannel and polish well until

noble primeyal forests. During Il
mans life only saplingS can be

5000 years to make some of the
