Things Worth Trying.

In making paste for wall paper it will
stay on much better by adding about
one-half cupful of salt TO one gallon OF
paste. It has been used for walls that
have been whitewashed and there has
been no trouble, also for newly plaster.
ed walls it is good. A less quantity OF
salt may be used on smooth walls.
A convenient method of marking
linen or any apparel that must be sent to
the laundress is to take roll Of linen
tape and mark the name in indelible
ink, leaving a space wide enough, be.
tween each name, to turn hem. The
name can be cut off and sewn upon a
garment and can be removed with little
difficulty. This is especially good fol
college students or tourists.
