Old rheorIe. About Liahtnlno.

Our forefathers had many theories
about lightning. According to them
no one could be struck by lightning
while asleep, and no tree struck by
lightning could be burnt. Splinters
from such a tree, diligently chewed,
were an infallible cure for toothache,
and were, Of course, pleasanter to the
taste than the dentists forceps. And
the old time schoolboy firmly believed
that IL he were rash enough to men,
ton lightning directly after flash,

many were his attempts to land his

The following is a good recipe for

solve borax in water and saturate a
sponge OF cloth in the solution. Wash
the greasy spots by rubbing vigorous
ly, then rinse in clear water the same
way, and dry in the sun. This is es-
pecially good for cleaning mems coat
collars.
Thick, soft gloves are made to wear
when lifting pots and heavy stove at
tachments; thinner ones come for the
purpose Of protecting the hands while
sweeping or dusting; then there are
rubber gloves to put on when wash
Ing dishes and asbestos gloves to wear
when handling hot dishes.
Should the clothes be mildewed, the
stains may be removed by a mixture
containing equal parts of soft soap
and starch, half as much common salt
aud the juice Of half lemon. This
may be spread over the spots, and the
article should be laid on the grass all
day and all night until the stain en-
urely disappears.
The crisp, raw cucuanber, appetizing
as It Is, proves indigestible to many
people. Let these try them cooked.
Cooked cucumbers may be served hot
with cream sauce or cold as a salad.
Rather ripe vegetables should be So
!ected and they should be stewed very
slowly. Finely shredded chill peppers
added to the sauce improve its ap-
pearance and take away the slight in
sipidty Of the cooked cucumber with
out destroying the flavor. When serv-
ing the cooked cucumber as a salad
cut it Iengthwise instead OF across, as
with the raw vegetable.
