THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Paper bags are useful and should
never be wasted. Put bag on the
hand which holds the backing brush,
whether for shoes or the stove, and
prevent soiling the hand. Use bags
to put over the cleaned lamp chin
neys; then when the lamp is wanted
the chimney will be bright and shin
ing.
Slip bag over a bowl or pitcher of
milk when setting away, or when used
in sick room. A paper bag slipped
over a small bowl when beating
cream, with a place cut at the bot
tom for the handle of the beat
ing yourself and the table.
Put box of good soil in your eel
lar so that in the spring you will have
it ready to plant your seeds.
Never travel without a fax seed In
your handbag. Then If you or your
neighbor gets a cinder in the eye,
moisten one and drop it in. The gel
atinous covering of the seed will
quickly gather up the foreign body
unless it is imbedded in the eyeball.
One of the first things to try with
strangling child Is to take him by
the legs and shake him. When he
opens his mouth to cry, the foreign
body will fall out. A smart blow on
the back will often help to dislodge
anything in the throat
If the substance cannot be reached
with the finger and drawn up, never
try to force it down, for the vocal or
gans may thus be injured.
When steaming velvet, put a fun
mel into the spout of the tea kettle.
This will spread the steam over a
larger surface and the work is more
quickly done.
Children may be taught by means
Of their dolls the polite way of intro
duction. How to send and accept in
vitations to teas and diners, the
proper greetings and adieux and many
of the social customs Of the day. 1t
will be a game for them, but the
knowledge will be Invaluable all
through life One may easily tell the
training child has had by the tone
of voice used in play.

Had the Last Word.

Two ladies, during a friendly meet
ing on the street, got to quarrellng
about their ages, and used very strong
language toward each other. At last
as if to end the dispute, one of them
turned away and said in a very con
ciliatory tone of voice: Let US not
quarrel over the matter any more. l,
at least, have not the heart to do it.
l never knew who my mother was !;
she deserted me when a baby, and
who knows but that you may have
