HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A long box. stood on end on cast
ers, fitted with shelves and a screen
door. is a convenience in the kitchen
or cellar.
Several thicknesses Of disks cut
from discarded kitchen oilcloth make
good mats for flower pots in the vari-
GUS windows.
To sharpen a knife, fold a piece Of
emery paper in the center and draw
the knife rapidly back and forth sew
eral times.
II is best to clean windows on a
cloudy day, as the sunshine dries the
water too quickly, and the window is
apt to be streaked.
After cleaning clothes with gaso-
line, ring is sometimes left. The
ring can easily be removed by steam
ing over the teakettle.
To make Goldfish salad, the cold
picked fish should be combined with
sliced cold potatoes, oil, vinegar,
black pepper and chopped parsley
A rubber plant or other large
house plant can be moved about with
very little trouble If set upon tiny
wooden platform with casters.
Never turn your faucets on with a
jerk. Turn slowly and gently when
turning the water on or off. The
faucets will wear twice as long.
1t is a good idea to put the freshly
laundered sheets at the bottom of the
pile in the linen closet This makes
1t possible TO give the sheets equal
wear
To clean brass flower pots or
trays, rub them with a piece of
lemon; then pour boiling water over

God gives power TO them that have
no might; he increases their strength
so that they mount up with wings as
eagles. Notice the great contrast be-
tween the arrow and the eagle. The
arrow shot from the bow always
slackens In its pace with every inch
OF space over which il flies, because
OF the friction with which it meets;
but the eagles flight is ever swifter
and higher because its speed is not
derived from impetus with which It is
launched into space, but it is fed by
the inherent fountain Of vitality and
strength within. Thus the believer
does not know the slackening speed
of the arrow, but the ever soaring and
quickening speed of the eagle. be-
cause his strength is fed from within,
where God. the untired, is ever main
tanning his energy.-F. B. Meyer.
