CARE OF BRooMs.

If you labor under the impression
that you are getting or keeping clean
when you do the sweeping with an
old lopsided broom, get over the idea
at once.
In these days of dust the most per-
feet implements are necessary to fight
it and a broom that is never rinsed
out in clean water in which a little
ammonia has been dissolved adds
more germs to a floor than it takes
up.
Never use broom after it has be
come lopsided, as it not only does
not do the work, but harder on the
worker, being much more difficult
to ropel.-New Haven Register.

Fire SmoIders For a Year.

It was discovered that the ruins oil
the Janeway & Carpenter wall paper
factory, at New Brunswick, destroyed
by fire on March 10, 1907, are still
burning. A great mass of paper was
buried in the debris when the build
ing collapsed, and at various times
during the year flames have shot VI
from the site. One of the residents
became curious to see if the fire
could have lasted year and, digging
down, found the mass of paper still
smoldering. The plant, which en-
ploys about 1000 men, has been re-
built at Highland Park, having been
in operation several months.

SET TABLE IN EARLY EVENING.

SET TABLE IN EARLY EVENING.
The table should be laid in the
afternoon, and on side table place
all extra plates and dishes, such as
silver, that may be required for the
meal. If there is not serving table
in the room, common one should
be arranged for this occasion.
If it is necessary for the hostess to
remove the courses, dishes, ETC.,
should be.so placed that she is absent
from the table only few moments,
and there is no confusion in her
movements.
Even if she has a maid to serve the
meal the dishes must be ready before
the guests arrive. Otherwise the
hostess will be obliged to give in
structions during dinner, breach of
good form to be avoided whenever
possible.
1t should be understood previously
that the host is not leave his place
under any consideration. Nothing
will give a greater air of confusion
than to have two persons moving
around a room. The man should
keep his seat and preside while the
hostess attends to the dinner
