he very funny to live in one of their

for when the snow flies it covers not

we ere accustomed to see it, but gets
deeper and deeper until the entire house
is hidden from view and only the Chin

Then the entire family begin to make

BY following out u slanting tunnel in

A stone-flagged passage. with the
kitchens branching away from 1t, led
by a wooden staircase directly to the
first floor of the house. 1t came out
upon the landing opposite to a second
more ornamental stair which came up
from the front hall. Out of this landing
opened the d~rawing-room and several
bedrooms, including those of Mr.. Cum
ningham and his son. Holmes walked
slowly, taking keen note of the archi-
lecture of the house. l could tell from
his expression that he was on a hot
scent. and vet ] could not in the least
imagine in what direction his differences
were leading him.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE.

Honey should be kept in the dark
or it will granulate.
The carpet-sweeper will be found
more effectual if pushed in the same
direction as the pile of the carpet, not
against it.
In dempenlng clothes use a clean
whisk broom. This will dampen the
clothes evenly all over and make the
weekly ironing a much easier task.
For whitening boards or cleaning
marble take half a pound each of soda,
powdered chalk and powdered pumice
stone. stir together in a small quantity
of water and then add half a pound Of
soft soap. Mix together into a paste
and use as soap with a scrubbing brush.
Tea kettles would last longer if. after
use, they were turned upside down to
drain dry. 1t is the little drop of water
left at the bottom which starts the
rust that ends in a leak.
4 good homemade cement for broken
crockery is ~unslaeked lime or plaster
of paris mixed with the white of an
egg to the consistency of cream. A ce-
ment that is practically waterproof is
made by d%issolving ordinary white blue
in warm milk.
To clean copper mix together two
tablespoepf uls of -four. the same guam
tity of salt, and three t-ablespoonfuls
of sand into q thin paste with vinegar.
Clean the copper with this mixture,
then rinse it thoroughly in hot water
and polish it with a soft, cloth or
Heather. Articles cleaned thus will last
bright for some time.
Nothing is more troublesome than
trying TO keep q cloth on the broom
while cleaning the dust off the wall.
Use the sleeves and legs of old knit
underwear. Put the broom handle in
