MAKE HOUSECLEANING EASIER.
Some Pertinent Advice to Those Who
Must Soon Undergo the Ordeal.

To make housekeeping easier, &c
slow, as haste makes waste, for il
you are hurried you overwork and i,
saves time, strength and work tc
have everything ready for house.
cleaning and all the ,nings necessary
for thorough housekeeping are very
inexpensive. Ammonia is quite use
full in housekeeping as it saves soap,
brushes and time in washing wood
work, windows and carpets.
eff a carpet or rug IS not soiled
enough to be washed, beat it free of
dust and tack it to clean floor,
! then dip flannel cloth in ammonia
! water and wipe up one width at a
time and the dusty look will be re-
moved and the colors frightened. A
small mop will be found very con
venient for washing windows and
the first bath which is used to re-
move the dust should contain a little
ammonia, then rinse with clear
| warm water and polish with a soft
cloth and tissue paper. Every pre-
caution should be taken to keep lace
and muslin curtains fresh and clean
ing that wears them out much soon
about to sweep a room, lift the poles
from the brackets and lay them, cur
tains and all, in another room. In
this way no dust settles on them and
they keep clean twice as long. n,
"A bottle of gasoline is the house
wife's friend but it must never be
used in room where there is fire
or light. Paint is readily cleaned by
it's use and the most delicate enamel
will not be injured by liberal rub

ed and frightened by a thorough
soaking in gasoline and careful
scrubbing with soft white cloths and
then it can be used for cleaning
straw mattings, carpets, lace our
tains that are not very soiled and
window shades of any color.
"An excellent soap for washing
woodwork, carpets and curtains is
made by dissolving a bar of soap

and then adding a tablespoonful of
borax and stirring until the soap is |

with very little rubbing when they

be put to soak through two or three |
waters before washing to remove as

The Changing Climate.

The heavy rains which have fallen
practically all over the country the
past few days and the cyclonic winds
which have done so much damage in
many places, will probably be gener-
ally regarded as equinoctial storms.
An eQuinoctial storm may be defined
as the same as any other storm, ex-
cept that it happens to occur within
a week prior or subsequent to the
spring or fall equinox. There has
dong been held to be some intimate
association between the elements and
the passage by the earth of that par
ticular point in it's annual journey
around the sun where its angle of in
clination makes the day and night of
equal length, or two nights of equal
length. Why there should be storms
at that time more than at any other
time science is not able TO tell us,
nor does the record OF past years
confirm the theory that there are
more storms then than at any other
arbitrary period that might be select
ed. A comparison of the storms dur
ing fifty years that fell within seven
days OF April % would probably
show as many and as severe ones as
those within seven days Of March %.
Certainly the fall equinox is accom-
panied by no more storms than can
5e found on the record within the
same period at other times in the fall
season. Nevertheless, it sounds we'll
to talk about the equfnoctial storms,
and we all like to appear scientific
in our conversation.
Probably equal baseless is the
common Idea that cyclonic storms
are more frequent than in former
years. They certainly do more DAM
age and get into the newspapers
more often. So far as the newspa
,pers are concerned, lot of things get
s1nt5 2rint that formerly were scarce
ly heard Of a few miles from where
they occurred. Murders, suicides,
accidents, divorces, and multitude
of things which were formerly of
local note only now are telegraphed
and published all over the country.
It gives us the impression that all
such things have grown tremendous
" in number when the fact is that
they have grown chiefly in publicity.
this is the case with cyclones. In an
uninhabited country, one where
there was but an occasional barn ~
fence to damage, cyclones in former
times attracted little general notice,
or heard of at all, but when the same
country bcomes thickly populated
and buildings of value were erected,
the same cyclones reap harvest of
death and destruction OF property
which challenges attention and III
spires horror.
The impression that the climate is
changing is a widespread one. In
spite of the fact that the weather
records show a general adherence
over long periods to an average state
8of climatic conditions, nothing is
