WORK As A REAurlFIER.

A London woman appears to have
hit upon sure way to make house
hold duties palatable. The scheme
may not be novel. Perhaps it has been
tried many times. The London wom-
an, however, gives It a freshness and
a seeming sincerity that are very at
tractive. In the first place there must
be an ostensible object in view. The
London woman refers to this object
as Systematic course of indoor exer-
else Rt home. What does she hope to
secure by this systematized exercise? :?
The creation and preservation OF
beauty. There you have 1t. What
goal could be more alluring? Does
the system require a gymnasium, a
running track, the usual paraphernalia
Of indoor exercise? No. It's parallel
bar Is broom handle, It's dumb-bells
are brushes, its scaling ladders the
front and back stairs. Listen to the
London woman. "A good blood circu-
lation is stimulated by bending to
scrub a floor or table, and Il good
circulation means good health" Yes,
and It means good looks, too, The
London woman rounds her arms by
busting, and lifting chairs, and NOV
ing rugs, and brushing down the steps,
and sweeping floors. She gives her
self finer carriage and steadier
gait by carrying wood and coal to the
domestic hearth.

People who are worrying about dan
delions in their lawns are recommend
ed to spray them with a solution of
sulphate Of iron-two pounds of sui
phate to one gallon of water. 1t is
calculated that one gallon will be suf-
flcient for 800 square feet of lawn.
While application from sprinkling
can will do, the use of a sprayer is
more effective. 1t Is recommended to
avoid the application when the lawn
has been freshly moved. The best
time for 1t is in the forenoon after
the dew is off and when there Is
promise of fair weather. Three times
In a season is said to be enough.
