Home Notes.

Do not use soap in cleaning marble
table tops and mantels. 1t yellows
them. Better results are had from
washing with water softened with am
monia.
Rolls may be freshened ever when
very stale by dipping each n quickly
in Ice water and heating In the oven
until crisp. If eaten while hot they
resemble zwiebach.
If a cruel pot Is allowed to stand on
stones or something cold for a minute
or two after cooking it will not cool
the contents very much and will make
sticking less probable.
If a broom has worn unevenly. its
life may be prolonged by soaking the
straws In warm water for three-quar-
tiers of an hour, then tying the straws
tightly together and trimming the ends
with a long pair of scissors.

have suffered from kidney complaint.
Several years ago a physician told
me hat the most l could get was
temporary relief and that my dis
ease was incurable. l took medi-
cines for a long time until l became
discouraged. There was a dragging
pain in my back and a lameness that
at times almost paralyzed me. The
lameness and weakness, coupled
with the dreadful spells of dizziness
prevented me from leaving the
house. My kidney secretions were
very irregular, and unnatural and
plainly showed that my kidneys ere

A Victim Of Lepro.v.

ION my travels in Venezuela" said u
New York man. II stayed in a hotel
with a young man in whose family
there was the faint of leprosy, though
he apparently did not nave it. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
cry at a waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
Instantly realized hat he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand,
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob,' he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in
q frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist. You may not know that
leprosy appears in the side Of the hand,
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking owe his chair, rushed
out into the courtyard Of the hotel.
and we heard the quick tang Of a re-
volver shot, telling Us how he had con-
quered the leper's curse by ending his
fife"

Don't Be Left Handed.

It has been estimated that about one
boy out Of fifteen is left handed when
he reaches the age of ten. This is his
mothers fault in not making him use
his right hand during his baby
hood. In Germany there r schools
where the boy is taught to be right
handed. Nearly all tools are made for
right handed men, and the boy who
grows up left handed will be awkward.
II one can use both hands alike he
has an advantage In some things, but
It seems as II nature intended the
right arm to do most Of the work.

who recently created a sensation by
flying in their aeroplane on the coast
Of North Carolina, seem to have solved
the problem of aerial navigation.
Aside from the triumph OF apparently
controlled flight, the o important
achievement from the aeronaut's view
point was that the flying machine not
only carried both men, but carried
them in a sitting position. Heretofore
their aeroplane carried bur one man,
and he lying prone. According TO all

An Animal Game.

Let one of the party leave the room.
The rest decide upon the name of some
animal for him to guess. When he re-
turns the players question him in turn,
as If he were the animal chosen. For
instance. the animal selected is a tiger.
The Question may be, "Do you
scratch?' care your claws sharp?"
do you spring upon your prey?" "Is
your fur handsomely marked?" He
thinks they have named a cat and
says. Eyes; am l a catY" When told
no they still question him until he
guesses correctly. The person who be-
trays the animal by his question is the
next to leave the room and guess.

and exercise in the winter. Walk, run,
