!, Health and Beauty :

It is marvellous what can be
achieved in the way of fine carriage
by bothering about the proper way to
hold the chin.
Prove it to yourself by standing
loosely for a moment, letting the chin
take care of itself and notice how the
chin sticks out the shoulders droop,
and the abdomen protrudes
Then draw in the chin and notice
how the entire body will change its
position; the shoulders will straighten
and the abdomen will be drawn in.
The old fashioned blackboard to
which our grandmothers We're strap

stilted manner of walking and sitting,
but it certainly was effective, for if
you will get out the old family album

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Hot sunshine will remove scorch.
A package or envelope sealed with
white of egg cannot be steamed open.
Even delicate glass can be safely
washed in very hot water if slipped in
edgewise.
Saturate grass stains on children's
pinafores, ETC.. in paraffin and then
put into the washtub.
Burning oil is spread by water. To
extinguish it throw down flour, sand
or earth. The idea is to prevent the
oil spreading.
Starch should be mixed with soapy
water. for thus the linen will have
more glossy appearance and be less
likely to stick to the iron.
Clotheslines and pegs will last much
longer if they are boiled for ten min
utes when new. 1t is good plan to-
repeat the boiling occasionally.
It is not generally known. but to
prevent cakes from burning, place a
little bran at the bottom of the tins.
vexation.
Badly stained decanters and flower
vases may be cleaned with little di-
luted hydrochloric acid. After using
the acid be sure to rinse very thor
oughly with clear water.
Equal parts of turpentine and am
monia will take paint out of clothing,
even if hard and dry. Saturate the
spot as often as necessary, and wash
off with warm soapy water.
To iron silk sprinkle the articles to
be ironed with water, then roll them
tightly in towel. After this it IS
easy to iron out the ereases. Do not
use very hot iron, as silk quickly dis
colors.
To clean a white belt make rather
a thick paste of cream of tartar and
cold water and rub the belt well with
it. Leave for an hour and then rub
with a mixture of alum and fuller's
earth in equal parts. Next day brush
the belt with a clean soft brush till
all the powder is removed. Rub again
with some coarse oatmeal to which
little powdered whiting has been add
ed.
Pillow cases will have their useful
ness prolonged if. when they are begin
ming to show signs of wear, they are
unstftched at the bottom and, before
being scanned up again, are folded so
that the seam at the side now goes
down the miTdle. In this way one Sc
cures the whole case, getting an equal
amount of wear.

SOME USES OF SALT.

salt used in boiled starch will make
it glossy.
Salt added to vinegar will clean brass
or copper.
Salt sprinkled on carpets when
sweeping brightens the coIors and
keeps down the dust.
