HANDLING THE FLOWER POTS

CBy 1. M. sHEPLER1

A box for plants resting on casters
may easily be drawn away from the
window on cool nights In winter, and
pushed back the next morning.
These castors are also e con-
venience when sweeping about the

house-plants in her rooms can. her.

legs and all. picked up from where
carpenters are building.
These boxes. of course, are used
mainly in windows that are kept for
the saving Of plants for spring. and
yet they can contain an assortment of
flowers. which, banked back of a
window. give an effective picture Of
beauty to the passer-hy as we'll as TO

MAKING WORK EASIER
SMALL THINGS THAT Tighten
LABOR IN THE HOME.
Easy Method of Making Old Gloves
Comfortable for the Hands While
Sweepine-Proper Use of Brush
In the Kitchen.


A simple, little idea that to pass on
to the housewife was suggested the
other day by seeing bride of few
months struggling to WELD broom
while wearing her husbands cast-off
gloves to save her hands. The gloves
were. OF course, Il good deal too large
for her, but in SPITE Of this they were
making her hands hot and urcomfort-
able and sweeping under such condi-
tons was most trying.
Now to make the old gloves disable
Tor Homework it is only necessary to
split the backs along the seams and
then cut a slit or two around the
thumbs. The protection to the hands is
as good as with the original glove and
the discomfort is reduced to nothing.
This cannot be done, of course. with
rubber gloves intended to protect the
hands when forced to Clip them
IN hot water or soda, but It is a
useful hint for The housewife who
does her own sweeping and hopping
and wishes to preserve the beauty of
her hands.
Some one advised to try clothes
pegs to attach cheesecloth to the jar
when straining fruit for preserves. CT
for similar work where a cheesecloth
strainer is used. The idea is not bad.
but there is anoth.sr one with far bet
ter results. Have you ever seen the
little clips that photographers, anna
teur and professional, use to dry
prints? The little clips ars strung
in line. and the prints are Sl.. ped at
the corners and left until ready to
mount
These clips are little wooden af-
fairs less than half the size of a
Clothes peg and much more suitable
for clipping the clotn TO the edge OF
the pan or bowl than a clothes peg
would be. They are for sale IN pho
tographic stock house or in the photo
graphic department of a store They
are cheap and will be found useful in
the house in a number of ways. A
wire arrangement in the, center per-
mits string to be run through them
without interfering with the clipping
part, and so they can be strung across
the room and used for drying small
articles
The possibilities Of the brush in the
kitchen have by no means been ex-
hausted. The unnecessary waste of
time and energy In cleansing Jars OF
any kind is evident when you see a
woman struggling to get at the crew
ice of narrow necked preserve jar
with cleaning cloth. 1t is as bad
as the struggle to clean the inside OF
the lamp chimney. Reams of paper
have been used to present to suffer
ing womenkind various new methods
of getting at the interior of 6. lamp

1t out, but there is nothing about clean

.PASSA|C IS UPSET
BY ITS NEW TAX
Enormous Jump Is Made Under
the Commission Gov
eminent.

PASSAIC, Aug. 21-The first report
of the Passaic Board of Assessors
under commission government made
to the county Board of Taxation at
the county Court House in Paterson
caused a mild sensation when
they announced an increase in the as
sessments over last year of S., 1884, LISA,
or more than 14h per cent, and a tax
rate of SIP per 800. nearly 15h per
cent. more than that of the previous
year. The valuations are fixed at $42,-
$50, 444, as against s37, sic, $50 in 1911.
The assessment increase is the
biggest in the city's history, being
nearly three times as high as the
1911 boost over 1910 of 1885, 74,
which was regarded as tremendous.
The Paterson assessors reported an
increase over 1911 of 81, 1867. SAT and the
total increase for the entire county
was about 80, 900, 900.
The increases are general, but by
far the greatest advance has been on
personal property of the large fac
tories. The IS, 1874, 1874 r,oost is divided
as follows: Personal. s3,312,s $50; build
ings, 81. 1874, OPS; land. ss57,39 All ex-
cept SPA, 4s0 of the increase on per-
sonal property is divided among the
factories.
The advance on personal assess
ments of the Passaic Lighting Com
pany is from $1,000 to $4,000. The
Botany Worsted Mil jump is from
$500. 900 to 81. 500, 900: Brighton Mills.
from $95, 900 to $3.50, 900; Passaic Print
Works, $3.50, 900 to $3.50, 0oO. and Gera
Mills, $4,000 to $3.50. 900. The total
increase on the personally of the
Public Service Corporation is 1924. $50,
about IS per cent.
Passaic must raise by taxation for
local purposes this year $903, 655.51, or
1874, 900 more than 1t took to run
the city during the fiscal year 1911-12.
OF this increase SAL, 900 is for school
purposes.
A rather interesting point in the re-
port of the Passaic assessors to the
county board was a decrease of $66 in
the valuation placed on second-class
railroad property, which was $3.50 l
last year. The value placed by the
on exempt property was $3,-
1872. 125, apportioned as follows:
Schools, 81. 1863. 175; church and char
table, 81, S51, OPS; cemetery. 10000;
other public property, 1904 25.
The Acquackanonk Township Board
reported a total valuation of $780,
400, showing an increase of $1,000, 900
over last year.
