HOUSEHOLD HINTS,

'
Kerosene oil is excellent to remove
dirt from porcelain. For bad spots,
use powdered rOttenstone with the
kerosene; this gives a gentle fric-
ton, but does not scratch the sur
face. Pour strong, hot solution of
washing soda down all the pipes
to clean them. If the sink has tiled
wall that shows bad stains, pour lit
tie muriatic acid on the tiles and
rub with a wooden cloth. Be care
full not to inhale the fumes. The
faucets, if nickle-plated can be
cleaned with whiting mixed to paste
with Kerosene, and polish with dry
WOODEN cloth. If the nickle has rusted,
cover the spots with mutton fat and
let it remain several days; then rub
with rottenstone and swee. Gil and
finally polish with whiting and kero-
sene.
The 'sink-cloth" is an abomination
from any point of view. A grayish,
ragged cloth hung in some out-of-
the-Way corner is a te4ltale sign of a
slipshod housewife The sink should
be scrubbed with a brush that can be
rinsed off afterward, and made clean
with hot, strong soap-suds, before a
cloth touches it; then it may be wiped
Off with cloth as clean and sweet as
the dish-cloth itself, or a special mop
may be used for it.
The condition of the kitchen sink
is the health barometer of the house.

remain in the hot kitchen, but at
once be set in cool place. If you
have a good cellar, this is best,
for they can be spread out on pa

you have only a stuffy city fiat, wrap
in paper or linen bags made for that
purpose and put in the ice-box or
hang in shady window.

The cellar, too, is the best place
for canned goods, for olive-oil, lard
and cheese, A wire safe is an ideal
place for the cheese, permitting VEN

A cellar should be kept scrupu-

shabby and break, and dust and flies
make their entree unchaIlenged.

After declaring that suffragtsm Is

Jefferson Oct. 11-While pioWng on
the Ralph Bennett farm, in Grant
township. Carl Nelson brought to light
some bones, which upon examination
appeared 10 resemble those Of a huma n
being. Mr.. Nelson became so interest
ed in the character of the bones that
ne secured a shovel and. digging some
what deeper. uncovered two human
skeletons, practically complete. The
find was made on the knoll just
across the road south Of the Gem
tennial church, and not far from the
highway. The graves in which the
bones were laid could not have been
more than eighteen or twenty inches
deep. The field has been plowed many
times before. but Mr. Nelson was
blowing extra deep this fall, which eX-
plains the fact that his shovels turned

Mr.. BENEFITS farm, prior to his
ownership, belonged to his father,
Mr. Horace Bennett, for great many
years, and prior to that was known as
the old Humboldt farm. The spot where
the bones lay was in most exposed
place, far from trees or shrubbery and,

altho it is conceded that the skeletons
are those of Indians, it is the usual
practice Of Indians to bury their deao
in groves. However. the practices OF
various tribes differ SO materially that
no especial Importance can be attached
to this feature Of the case.
An old settler says that in the 1all
and winter Of 1868 party OF Pottawat-
tamie Indians. coming in from Nebras-
ka. camped for several months just
north Of the spot where the bones were
found, adjacent to a famous sugar
maple camp which was then located
there. 1t is altogether probable that
these skeletons are the remains OF IN
dians who died at that time and were
buried by their fellows near the camp
ing ground.
