HOUSEHOLD. INFORMATION.

Many houses are set on fire bv
lace or other curtains coming In
contact with a gas.jet or other
flames, and N my little children
are trlghtful.y burned by their
clothes catching from CRATE or
other exposed fire. Now a very
simple and harmless method of
rendering the curtains and little
dresses tireproof Is as follows;
At any drugstore get one half
pound of tongstate- of soda, dis
solve in about half a gallon OF
rain water; keep sealed up. When
the curtains are laundered add a
small quantity of the mixture,
eithe, IN the starch or, If not
starched, to the rinsing water.
Curtains so treated may hang
directly over a flame and not
blaze; they will scorch and be
ruined -or service, but will not
ignite.
Treat the dresses and night
gowns of children In the same
way and they Will not catch fire.
1t costs but very little and may
save property or lives.
Get a dozen large bottles and
fill them with the following mix
ture: A strong solution of salt
and borax or, better still, ammo.
MIA sulphate. Place one of the
bottles in every room 10 the house
and two or three In the garrett.
If one of those bottles is broken
on a fire while in it's lnclplency 1t
will be put out. They are fine

SHROPSHIRE RAM.

which covers period of nearly fifty
years, we do not remember ever but
once having this trouble to contend
with, although our pasture for our
aged sheep has been used continuously
as a permanent pasture during all
these fifty years. Our first experience
set us to thinking. We consulted YOU

ers end made up our mind the thing to
do was to exterminate the germs in
embryo In the stomach of the ewes, IL
possible.
Sheep, as well as all other kinds of
stock, crave salt, and when allowed to
partake at will take only so much as
nature requires. Our method now is to
keep constantly before them medicated
salt, either commercial or of our own
home mixture, which consists of salt
dampened with spirits of turpentine
and light sprinkle of sulphate Of iron.
When weaned-and we want to wean
early-we bring them to the barn and
allow them access to their creep. In
the evening turn them out on fresh
meadow pasture, or, what Is still bet
ter, newly seeded meadow. When
the sun begins to grow hot on the fol-
lowing day they are again driven to
the barn, where they remain during
the heat of the day.

A New Watch.

A new watch has been invented
for the use of physicians and
nurses in counting the pulse.
The watch indicates, without
mental calculation, the number of
beats of the pulse in o minute. II
operates on theprinciple of as top
watch. BY pressing the push.
button a large second hand is set
in motion. and the counting Of the
pulsations begins. At the Goth
pulsstion the motion of the hand
Is stopped by another pressure
of the push button. The dial ac-
curately indicates the exact num-
Der of pulsations per minute. A
third pressure on the push but
ton brings the hand back to the
starting point. The use OF this
intrIment does away with the
necessity of OBSERVING the pro
gress of the watch while taking
the pulse, and In addition insures
an absolutely correct record.
The instrument is also a chrono-
graphic correct record. The in
strument is also a chronographic
counter, facilitating the making

Economy Ia Buying.

To the majority of people econ
omy means simply purchasing
an article for a smalhsum Of mon
ey. 1t may be that some COM
parison is made with the price
usually asked for the article, but
often no such comparisons made
The questions of "value receiv-
ed" and final cost rarely enter in.
to the calculations. The real cost
of an article Is not known until
those two items are counted in
with the original cost.
Relying on sight or first I'M
pression is responsible for much
extravaganza with people who
mean to save. Not long since |
saw meat displayed for sale. 1t
was in small pieces, suitable for
a stew, and was marked at seven
cents a pound. The first impres.
sion was that the meat vas cheap
at seven cents. On having two
pounds weighed out [ discovered
that there was probably a quart
er of a cupful of meat and a large
quantity OF bone. Seven cents a
pound for meat Is not dear, but ii
Is quite a good price for bone.
A SHIN of veal or lamb is com.
paratively cheap; so is a cut from
the neck or rump. The latter
has the advantage in the fact that
there is no waste because of bone
and gristle. The liver, heart and
kidneys of calves are cheap be
cause there is almost no waste,
and the first price is also low. In
some communities the sweet
breads and brains are almost gly.
en- away. They furnish valuable
food, and their purchase is true
economy because they are all
available. In other com munities
they are esteemed as luxurles,
and the prices are almost prohib.
tive. The availability is the
same In both instances, aud would
make no difference in the final
cost, but the first cost makes the
purchase an economy in one Ia
stance and an extravaganza In an

Bond Company and Kremer's Shortage.

Bond Company and Kremer's Shortage.
Because of a defective surety bond
for $4,000 given by A. A. Kremer,
the alleged defaultjng treasurer of
1tasca county, much litigation may
result before the taxpayers of that
district are able to realize on the
securities found in his possession,
which it is hoped will protect the
county from any loss says the St.
Paul Dispatch.
During his first term of office,
Kremer was bonded by the Metro.
politan Surety company, now defunct,
for $4,000. Two years later the
bond was supplemented by one for
100000 given by the National
Surety company. -:
Now it has been discovered that
much of the reported shortage occur
red during Kremer's first term of
office, and the last named surety
company has given it out that it will
only be bound by losses covered by
its bond. To make matters worse,
Kremer so manipulated his stealings,
il is charged, that it is impossible in
number of cases to tell when the
money was taken. :,...
As precautionary measure Attor-
ney General G. T. Simpson has in.
structed the county officials to retain
[all securities found, and they are
now under lock and key. That the
bonding company will demand them,
however, is expected.
M. F. Kahn, of the public exam.
iner's Office, who has been in charge
of the investigation, says that when
he left Grand Rapids yesterday a
loss to the county of $4,000 had
been located, which was covered by
securities aggregating $4,000, He
does not expect the shortage will be
more than $4,000, though Attorney
General G. T. Simpson says he has
information which will bring it in
excess of that amount. Kremer, it is
said, took as much as $1,000 at a
time.
