Kemovul of soot marks â€" When soot falls upon the carpet or rug, never [attempt to sweep it up at once, for the result is sure to be a. disfiguring niark. Cover it thickly with nicely dried salt, which will enable you to I sweep it up cleanly, so that not the slightest slain or smear will be left. Curi)els should be beaten on the 'wrong side (irst, and afterward more gently on the right. Never put j down a carpet on u damp floor, for this â€" often the result of hurry and ! impatience on the part, of weary j hous-e-cleaners â€" is a fieipiont cause of Carpets becoming moth-eaten. Windows in damp weather â€" When it I is necessary to clean windows in damp weather, use a little niolhylat- ed spirit, and you will polish the windows in half the time, as the sjiirit evoporntes, and dries the su- perfluous moisture as it goes. 'i"o clean enameled baths â€" Stains ma.v be taken off an enameled bath if it is rubbed well with rough sail moistened with vinegar. This will also clean enameled pots and jians, no nuitter how burned or discolored Ihey may be. To preserve stair carpets j)ut pads of old Idankets on each fitep. If there is no store of ancient blanket to draw from, a substitulo may be iimde of several thicknesses of brown paper. When making a Jiudding don't for- get to inalte n pleat in the cloth at the top of your basin, so as to al- low the pudding room to swell. To boil eggs for invalids, bring the water to the boil, then lake the egg in it for five minutes. This will cook the egg perfectly without mak- ing the while liard and indigestible. It is also Well to boil an egg intend- ed for a young child in this manner. To deaii brass nothing is better than the old-fashioned plan of rul)- bing (irst with a paste made of pow- dered bathbrick and parnHine, and then with powdered bathbrick. A mixture of lemon juice and powdered chalk used in Ihe same way is also excellent. Never hang a mirror where the sun's rays will fall upon it. The sun acts u[ion the mercury and clouds the glass. firing to a strong heal, and lay on toast. Serve very hot. CUTS AND IIHUISES. Just as soon as the warm weather comes the children want to go bare- footed and then begins trouble with sore toes iind bruises. They get all kinds of wounds, but the most ser- ious are those made by rusty iron, generally received by stepping on on old nail, the barbs of wire fences, etc. Such hurts often prove ser- ious, resulting sometimes in lockjaw and that is a di.scasc that the doc- tors do not seem able to handle suc- cessfully. Children should be instructed not to think such hurls of /no consequence This is not "babying" them, either, for they sliould be instructed why Ciire is desirable. Teach them to come to .vou with every hurt in which the skin is broken, then .sec Hint Ihe wound is properly cleansed and bound uj> with some healing lin- iment, so that no foreign matter cither remains or can enter. In the case of a wound from a rusty nailâ€" the most dangerous of in- juries to tlio barefoot boy â€" turpen- line is highly rerommended. Peach lea'.es, pounded and applied to such a wound, are also favorably men- tioned; good also in case of bee and wasp stings. nruises and bumps will not turn blue if butter or lard is immediately applied. liites from venomous .snakes are generally counteracted by giving whisky, on the homeopathic jjrinciple of !;imilia similibus curantur, proba- bl.v. If the remedy is not at hand, ninke a lye of wood ashes and im- merse the bitten member. The lye should be hot as can be borne, and chnnj:;ed as it cools. Continued soaking is necessary. Several cases are on record where lives have been saved by this treatment. ON TOAST, For an inexpensive "tasty" hot dish for tea there are more ways of using up the lefl-overs from dinner by serving them on toast, which, with a little care, maj- be made to look as tasteful to the eye as to Ihc palate. Trim IIk' crust from neat slices of stale bread, ond loasl each side a delicate brown; butter while hoi, and keep covered until the slices are soft- ened. Then la,v on each a portion of the preparation, leaving a liny edge of the loast visible. I Fish â€" Separate the moot from the : bones ot any fish that may be left ' from dinner, and place on one side. Ure.ak into a bowl one or two eggs, according to the anioiuit of fish, add I salt, a bit of pepper, and one tea- spoonful of plain (lour: mix thor- oughly. If you think there is not sullicienl (ish for ,\ our slices of toast, add one slice of fresh, white bread, I minus crust, mix all well, and add 'the lish. Pour into a frying pan in ; which is a liUle hot butler or ham 'gravy, stir until very hot, spread on toast and serve. A few drops <)i' lemon juice sprinkled on the mix- turi' iiniiroves it for «onic tastes. j Chipped Heel' â€" I'ut into a saucepan one gill of milk, and a toaspoonful of iiutter. Wlion the butter melta add ns much as desired of chipped beef shredded into tiny bits. Add to this one beaten egg, a sprinkling of black pepper. Stir with a fork ; about two minutes, spread on toast, ^ond serve. I Tomato â€" To about a cupful of cold stewed tomato, add the same quanli- j ty of chopped ham, one beaten egg, land a little warm water or gravy.

A 1 eculiar feature of lliu llussi.an deieiiee of I'ort Arthur is the history altnebed to some of Ihe heavy guns which are ot I'resent in the forts, 'ihese guns were sold (U'iginally to the (. hineEe uuthoritius b.v a German hrm, shortly before the llo.vor troul)le. when tho Chinese were buy- ing arms on every available occasion. Ihey 1 o ight on the three-year .sys- tem, paid so much down, and the balan e divided between the second and third year. The firm had to ley the regular "cumshaw" to llie lower odiriais out of the money Ihe.v receixiHi the first year. The guns were delivered at once, and deposited in the .""hiku .\rsonal, where Admiral .Sir I'dward Seymour made his grand stand with his wounded, when returning from his futile endeavor to ri'scue t'ne Pekin Legations. Some of tlie.se guns were not even unpack- ed. Heforo the second ond third in- slalmenls wore i>aid. lighting began, and the guns were captured by th' Allies, an I handed over to the Ifu.^ Binns for cu.stody. The Hiissians al- ways wpni to ha\e men to take charge of anything, nnd they took such great cure of these guns in the .'•hikti Arsenal that thoy were sent o\cr to Port Arthur; so that, al- though Cermnuv has nol received a penuy for the honc-dt work done In her country, she hn.M iinwilf ir.jfly pro- vl-lod Himnia with the inennA to di>- fcud Port Arth'ir. PEBtSIAN PEMTOTS ORGY STTTFER TERRIBLE SELF-IN- PLICTED PUNISHMENTS. Slash One Another's Heads and Shoulders With Swords, The Mouharrem is the Persian sea- eoo of mourning, when Persian Mo- hanunedons mourn for the death of .Mi and of his two sons, Hussan and IIus.sein, whom they slew 1,3'.20 years ago. All aad his sons they believe to have been the true successors of the Prophet, and on the anniversary of their assassination, I'ersinns vol- untarily sufler terrible self-inflicted punishments. A correspondent of the London Chronicle was privileged to see this rite and gives the following vivid de- Fcriplion of it : â€" It is five o'clock in the afternoon. \11 the previous day and night have be<'n spent by the Persians in weep- ing and lamentation; all this morn- swords) and preparing other instru- ments for sefi-lorlure; walls and Windows arc draped in black; black- robed, pale, sad-visaged men move silently and slowly hither and thith- er, the iiour for the annual expiation of the crime committed by their aji' cestors is at hand. They are handsome men, these I'or- sian.s. with delicate features and Intellectual countenances, their grief is deep, sincere, and to be I respected. however, mistaken its jcuuse. Hut there are others present [beside Persians; Turkish Mohamme- jdans and long, white-bearded im- I aiinis, and a sprinkling of Kuropeans, : including a. few Indies. No Moham- medan women are present. PENITENTS MAUCH IN, We arc gravely conducted to an up- per room of a house in the wall. The windows, iron-bnrred outside and descending to the floor, are op- en, ,ind lying down we command a complete view of the whole of the proceedings. Presently there is a sliglit stir. The Persian Ambassador has arriv- ed, and with his suite is conducted to a kiosk al one side of the mos- (pie. Then the sciuaro is cleared, the Imaunis collect on the steps of the mos(|ue. and simultaneously the wail i.'f funereal music reaches us. I'urple banners, black banners, green ban- ners, and one white, with inscrip- tions on them, all of silk, the sum- mit of the staff of each surmounted by a silver hand, the fingers out- Ft retched to heaven. Then comes Itho bund, consisting of a few flageo- |let,s, drums and cymlials. The music, 'of si.\ bars otdy, repealed again and again, aflrights the ear with its 'dissonance, yet it conveys to the â- bearer a .sense of unutterable suh- ncss. I Itehind the band comes .some fifty imen in double rank, but far apart, Idres.sed ib black, the left breast bare, and at the end of each bar ot the music the,\ strike the left breast with the right hand, keeping perfect lime. "Ha.«'.-san! llus-.';eiu! Ah!" they wail. Following I hem, still a greater number of men in black, with bared .shoulders, and armed v.ilh bundles of steel chains attached to short handles; and with the regular swing of a dumb-bell exorcise they smite themselves over each shoulder alternately, keeping time with the music. "Hassan! Hussein! .\-li|" a blow for each name. BLKKDINO SIIOU LDFUS. Slowdy, very slowly round the Eciuare the,^ move, and even as Ihey fiass us the first time their shoulders are black and swollen. .Another round or two, and down the backs ot some the blood begins to flow. One >iuitc a yovmg fellow, of nol more than seventeen, must be sufToring ',arribl,y, but never once does he w.ince or diminish the force of iiis blows. An hour of this torture, and then ut sunset only a party of the elder men remain to weep and wail the while the stpiare is being illuminat- ed on Jill sides. Persians ciriiik tea. not coiTeo, and during this interval our host supplies us v,ilh most delic- ious let., .served in liltle glass tumb- lers on class saucers, each on a .sep- arate tray. Then the sound of mu- sic again, louder wailing than we have heard before, and every man is now dressed iu white. Two most beautil'ul pure white hor-tjes f(dlow the banners, oach led by two men. On the shoulders of each hors(> are two swords upright, and behind the sw-ords a J)air of while doves; and the doves lU»p their wings as the horses move, Itound shields are sus- pended to the sides of tlu' horses. and their long white trappings are sire '.'ed with bl«od. UOAD TO I'AHADISP;. Two hundred men follow, armed now with gleaming .vataghans. which the.v wave as tlu-y wail, "Ilas-san ! 1lu.s-8ein! A-li !" Tlieir frenzy in- icreuses, and an old priest, who is lappurently leading, -and encouraijins' Ithem, gets his throat cut; but this 'is an accident, and I'e is atteiwled to ion the spot. Oace nround the I square, heade<l by torch-bearers, carrying gigantic torches, flaming jhigh ahift, this weird nrocessioii imo\e.s, and the scpiare is now lined ;b.\ 'iSirpish troops with fixed Imyo- jnels. The bayonets are not fixed for ornament, but for the purpo.se of ! instantly transfixing an.v dervish who ma.v run amok. "llas-r;an! Tliis-sen! .\-li! ilas-snn! llus-sein! Ali !" Again and again the weird. nion!+- to-nous cry that will ring in one's ears for mnny n ihty to come; again I'le beautiful white gorscs and flat- i t«s tag white doves are pu.ssing us, ' the light of the waving flames of the torches shed upon them; again, 2(MJ whito-clad figures, their gleaming yataghans moving in rythmical swing. "Has-san! Hus-sein!" "Ali" Suddenly the cries attain n wild fierceness, and then, before oao can realize the fact, every man of the 200 is drenched with blood, their features indistinguishable. "Has- san!" "HUs-sein A-lil" and ns they cry each name thoy slash their shav- en crowns with swords that have been sharpened to the keenness of a razor. Those who die from wounds thus inflicted go straight to Para- dise, and not a man flinches. BLOODY SPECT.VCLE. They cut and cut again in time to t.heir cries the whole way round the squ.are: strong men among the apectators faint and are carried away. Smothered in blood, the waving yataghans streaming with it. nearly all the dervishes complete the circuit, but some tew drop, and these, as a special honor, perhaps dying, are laid at the feet of the Ambassador before they are re- uio vod . Still 000 more remain to perform the horrible rite in batches of 200 each; but we have seen enough of the ghastly spectacle, and us the second detachment is passing endeavor to make our way out of the square, the pure air now tainted with the sick- ening smell of blood. We become jammed in the crowd in the gateway, amid the streaming swords and streaming fanatics, and then have we to thank the splendidly discip- lined Turkish troops for their civility and prompt a.ssistnnce. Still, in the narrow, dark, descly crowded thor- oughfare, we are not free from the horror, and pass two red men fran- tically striking doors with their red, dripping swords. THE ILLS OF CHILDHOOD. Every child in the countr.y needs, at some time or other, a medicine to correct the ills incident to child- hood. If Baby's Own Tablets are kept in the house and occasionally given to the little ones they will prevent illness and ir.ake the little ones rugged, strong and cheerful. Mothers should insist on having this medicine because it contains no opi- ate or harmful drug, and children take the Tablets as readily as they lake candy. If you have a neighbor who has used the Tablets ask her and slie will tell you what splendid satisfacti^in the\' give. Here is what one inolhcr, Mrs. Wm. Sinclair, Hebron, N. 1!.. sa.ys : "I have used Baby's Own Tablets with so much satisfaction that I do not feel safe when I have not got a box in the house. I am sure that other moth- ers will be quite ns well plea.sed with them." You can get the Tablets through your druggist or by mail at 25 cents a bo.x by writing The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockvillo, Ont. MEN AS HOUSEKEEPERS. Why They Would Be Out of Place in the Suggested Role. A writer in an Kuiilish review ex- presses the oj'inion that if, tor a while, nien could take over all house- keeping tlulies. keeping- women entire- ly out of domestic iiuiua^eiuent, the ens'iing revolution would solve the servant problem. By planning every- thing on business line.s about .'30 per cent, of Ihe present labor would be saved. It is as.serted that all the labor-savin? devices in use at present are the invcnticms of men, and that there are plenty luore of these bene- ficent ideas on tap in the masculine brain only awaiting nn opportunity for realization. Men do not have the sime troubles with their employes that women do with their servants, says the writer, and it would not take the mighty masculine intellect \ory lon^ to do away with the ser- vant question entirel.v. Wo are iii'linnl to agree with Iho writer to this extent: that after a man had conducted ihe domestic af- fairs of a household Un- a few weeks there would be no sei'\unt question, and no servant eitlier, writes Uob- ert Webster Jones in the June lloiise- keeper. It would be a ta.sk of Hercu- lean difficulty to persuade a servant to enter that hou*:e again. We can picture in our minds eye the domestic chaos that would result, the aston- ishing innovat.ion.1 that would be in- IrotU.'ced from cellar to garret. Fancy the average man attemptinx to dis- cipline the cook by employing the Same molhods with which ho is ac- ciistomed to coerce the ollice boy. Iin- agin- this man debating Ihe vital qucslions of "Thursday afternoons out" and "What shall we have tor d nier?" with an indie.nant Abigail who::e eloouence exceeds her logic! As for us. we do not want a home ri.n on "strictly busiiiesH i)rinciple«." There are plenty of them in the land, but thev ar(> called hotels. Here is a •conendruin: When is a home not o home? When il has a nian for hoiiae- kcercr. Home is that realm wher« woman rules. It is tlie truths we do and not the ones we indorse that .safe us. DR. A. W. CHASES CATARRH CURE...
