Proper Way to Keep Plants in Health
and Beauty-PreparatiOn of
Linoleum for Imitation
Hardwood Floor.

Potatoes for CIeanng.-It is not
generally known that potatoes possess
other qualities besides those of being
a staple and nourishing vegetable
common to the tables of rich and poor
alike. Cold potatoes may be used in
stead of soap to keep the hands clean
and the skin soft The water in which
potatoes have been boiled may be
used for sponging dirt out of silk.
Treat Your Plants KindIy.-Never
leave your indoor plants in room
while it is being swept They are as
sensitive to dust as human beings
and when their pores become choked
and clogged they soon fade away
Every few days sponge their leaves
with Iukewarm water and whenever
there is a warm shower of rain put
them out of doors. They enjoy a real
rain straight down from heaven as
much as We enjoy a good bath after a
long journey.
To Preserve Oil cloth.-Oil cloth Of
the cheaper quality may be preserved
and made to look like linOIeum of the
more expensive variety by being var
nished with one coat of white or trans
parent varnish.
Imitation Hardwood Floors.-Lin-
oieum of the best quality (the design
and color of parquet flooring having
been selected) will almost defy de
lection when treated in the following
manner: First apply TO the linoleum
thick coat of yarnish; when this is
thoroughly dry and hard have the lin
oleum waxed. This has been done in
several well known hospitals and the
imitation is almost perfect.
Washing Gilded chIna.-Do not use
soda water in which gilded china is to
be washed. Soda has some chemical
action on the gliding which in time
| destroys it. Simply use soapsuds,
which are just as cleansing and have
no Ill effects
Lavender in the Linen.-It is said
that persons employed in making per
fumes from lavender are immune
from infectious diseases. For that
reason it is not only pleasant but
also wise precaution to have Law
| ender-seented linen.
To Keep Stocking Knees from Wear
ing out.-Stitch into the inside of the
knee the top of an cid kid glove. Catcl
it in several places neatly on the right
side The stocking will not only las
much longer. but may be washed with
out removing the kid patch.

is pointed ont as having been the place

it is commonly stated that the house

not correct He declares that John
and Priscilla occupied a house of
which the eli on the present house was
a part, and that timbers from the first
house are now in existence in the
present house.
The ell. which is a story and half
high, is undoubtedly older than the
main house. which is two and a half
stories, and has all the marks which
distinguished the old-time Plymouth
houses. There are the small diamond
paned windows: there are the beams.
running across the low ceiling and
throughout the house: there are the
old-fashioned latches on the doors, the
step-up or step-dOwn between connect
ing rooms. the large square chimney,
and many other old-fashiOned and
quaint characteristics.
The tiny ''set-in" cupbOards, in all
the rooms, are things to make the
modern dweller full of envy: the low
ceilings make even a short person
reach to see if it is possible to touch
them.
A tiny bedroom on the ground floor
is shown to visitors as the room in
which Priscilla died. and it is COM
monty believed that John, too, died in
ihe present house. The Alden story
is that the house was built by Jona-
than. the son of John and Priscilla.
