For Stained Fingers.

The days of preserving bring
stained fingers. Have you ever tried
using a weak solution of oxalic acid
after preparing berries or discoloring
vegetables? 1t is quick stain re-
mover.
AS the acid is a poison, label the
bottle plainly and keep away from
children. Where stains are under
fingernails wrap bit of absorbent
cotton on the end of an orangewood
stick and dip in the solution.
For minor stains lemon juice is
helpful. Run ends of fingers into
half cut lemon.
Tomatoes will also remove stains,
especially those Of pairing potatoes or
other slight discolorations. A tomato
is a whitener and softens the hands.

Hogarth's Moving Pictures.

Hogarth was great, good teacher,
and many a thoughtless man has been
cured of vice by gazing on the fearful,
moving pictures in the "Rake's
Progress" and its sinful companion
series. Some natural intellects are
able without any teaching to know
and shun deadly diseases and evils;
some are able to accept them from
vague and abstract warnings, but
most can be made fearful or careful
of the duty which they owe them
selves or to their fellows only by hor-
rible examples. Yet the majority Of
men, taking them the world over,
are so brutally ignorant and selfish
and swinish that, despite all knowl-
edge by example or precept, they will
deliberately wallow and wallow again
in deadly diseased mire. Neverthe-
less the worlds improvement from
vice and disease comes from the edu-
Gated, scientific, fearful minority, but
blessed-wise their numbers are in
creasing faster to-day than ever in
history before, and why? Because of
an awakened and more and more en-
lightened journalism.-Tip, in the
New York Press.

Cuts or Wounds.

A wound produced by sharp cut
ting instrument will heal without
trouble when the edges are nicely
brought together and left so, without
putting on any salve, provided the &C
cess of air is shut off and the person
possesses a good constitution. If the
wound is produced by rusty nail or
similar cause, so as to be jagged,
1t will soon become very inflamed,
and in such case 1t is recommended
to smoke the wound with burning
wool or wooden cloth, says Woman's
Life. Twenty minutes in the smoke
of wool will take the pain out of the
worst wound, and If repeated once or
twice will allay the worst case of in
flammation.

Snow Custard.-Boil eight eggs,
leaving out the whites OF four; add to
them one quart of milk and five
ounces of sugar; have a shallow pan
Of hot water in the oven; set the dish
into it and bake till the custard is

teaspoonful of lemon juice; when the

dough, using cream instead of butter
and milk. Make the dough little
too soft to roll and spread about half
an inch thick in pan. Pare and
core tart apples and cut into eighths.
Stick the pieces in the top Of the
dough in regular rows, core side
down. Sprinkle on top as much sugar
as necessary to sweeten the apples,
with grated cinnamon and bits of
butter, and bake until the apples are
thoroughly done.

FEATHERS IN PARTISAN MILL
merry

Ostrich Is used great deal, and
the market is flooded with the most
beautiful tips and half-long feathers;
| am told that great many of these
come from the ostrich farms estab-
lished some time ago in the South Of
France, which are proving brilliant
success, and they have certainly con-
tributed to bring down the prices
somewhat
A sort of bicorn with the brim
turned right back in front and merely
rolled behind, is sometimes trimmed
with two half-long Amazons attached
to the left side and sweeping right
across the crown. The hat, which Is
intended to be worn SO as to come
down almost to the eyebrows, looks
with sage-green or reseda feathers,
but it is also made in such combina-
tions as deep violet and reseda, tete-
de-negre brown, and light gaiac
shade.
Feathers are arrayed in a great va
riety of ways, but they are no longer
stuck up erect. Indeed, trimmings do
not as a rule very seriously increase
the height of the shape. This does
not mean that low arrangements pre-
dominate, because many of the late
shapes have the wide brim turned
high, or else fairly high crowns, but
that the proportions are preserved
pretty strictly. Exceptions are to be
found in some of the evening toques,
built up of light puffings of tulle,
often frosted with gold or silver, and
surmounted by aigrettes Of crane or
other very light p1umage.
Trimmings are often placed against

The Malthuslan Theory.

This famous theory, which centres
in the idea that population tends to
outstrip the means Of subsistence"
was long ago exploded, and need give
no one the least bit Of alarm Sub
sistence comes primarily from the
earth, 'the beggar's nurse and
Caesars" and one Of the GROWING
glories OF the past quarter century
il the practical demonstration in all
quarters Of the world that the soil
IS capable of an almost limitless i'm
provement in its returns to the hus-
band-man's call. For instance, the
average yield per acre of corn Is
about fifteen bushels OF shelled grain.
Last year the Legislature Of North
Carolina offered a cash premium for
the largest yield on single acre Of
corn land, and a Wake County farm
er succeeded in raising on a single
acre of 283 bushels Of shelled corn.
He did this on land which the year
before had produced less than ten
bushels of shelled corn.

Lavender Disinfectant.

The following directions were given
once upon time in sick room for a
disinfectant. 1t was there discovered
to be so agreeable that it has ever
since that time been employed in the
same household to disguise the smell
of food in the kitchen. Every one
knows the value of burning coffee for
the like purpose, but that is so iden-
titled with the use that one thinks at
once, when shifting it's odor, of the
smell which it is covering up. To
make the lavender disinfectant, soak
sheets of common brown wrapping
paper IN satpetre and water, then
set them away to dry till wanted.
When brought into play, throw on
one of these leaves of paper some
flowers of lavender and burn them
on a shovel, as in the case Of the
coffee. Life.
