How to Clean Dirty Sink.

Many women have been discouraged
by the look of the iron sink that seems
to be coated with a thick layer of rust
and grease that no amount Of washing
will remove. There is little difficulty
in removing this, however, if kerosene
is used. Plenty Of the kerosene should
be used, and the best time to apply it
is at night. so that no water need be
drawn until the next morning, thus
giving the kerosene time to do its
work. The oil should be applied in a
liberal coat, and in the morning it
should be wiped quite dry. AS rule,
one application is all that is necessary,
but with sink that has been badly
neglected several applications may be
necessary. After the grease and rust
have been removed the sink should be
wiped dry at least once day to keep
it smooth and shining.

to cannibals," he said, that their at
tention will not be directed to the
spirit, but always be concentrated on
the flesh, for am told that they never
breakfast without a cold missionary
on the sideboard. We shall never meet
again, but let us hope that you may
thoroughly disagree With the savage
who eats YOU

to a young woman who sat beside him
