IS TO sweep room is uttle---but to
get 1t ready for sweeping takes some
time.
. Each upholstered piece Of furniture
should be carefully brushed and plain

a paint brush is excellent to remove
the dust that will lodge IN carved

brush or wooden skewer can be
used. II there are holdings at the top
of the wall, use q long-handled brush
IL It is perfectly clean. II It isn't tie

and walls IN the same way.
Do not open the wind dows till the
actual sweeping Is finished, or the cur
rent Of air will scatter the dirt over
the room again.
Sprinkle salt or tea leaves on the
floor and work from the corners to the

information In PRAYER.

Princeton graduates love to tell a
story of good old Dr. McCosh, who
was president many years. DR.. NC
Gosh was very absent-minded, and in
making the announcements at eight
o'clock chapel in. the morning, had to
have some reminder on a memo card
or he was almost sure to forget. One
day the French professor asked him,
just as he was mounting the platform
in chapel, to announce to the juniors
that their class would meet at nine
that morning instead of ten. The pres
ident nodded, but completely forgot
about it, not finding any reminder
among his written announcements.
A long prayer always brought cha
pei to close in those days. and DR..
McCosh, on this day, was almost
through the prayer, when he suddenly
remembered the request. Undeterred,
however, he slipped in an additional
phrase just before the Amen" and
the chapel faithfuls were edited to
hear, among other petitions. "And, O
God, cause the juniors to remember
that their French class will be at nine
! this morning, instead of ten"
The juniors remembered.
