For dusting and cleaning velvet, roll up an old piece of cre|ie into a conven- ient little bundle and dust with it. Bamboo furniture as well as willow and rattan shoukl be cleaned by scrub- bing with soda and water or salt and water. Then rinse well with clear water. To lake ink out of lirven, dip the ink spot In pure melted tallow, then wash out the tallow, and the ink will come out with it. The ravolings cut from new table linen before humming are tho be.<l things that can be used in darning holes or thin places in the worn ones. I'ut one ooat of vamlsh on the lino- leuni once In thrw months. It keeps it from cracking, brighleas the pattern, and does not require .so much washing. After blankets have l)ecn washed and hung on the line and are thoroughly dry, beat them wilh a carpel beater. The wool will become light and soft and blanket like new. White furs can be denned snow white by rubbing corn meal (dampened with a little water) through them. Then shake them and you will find they conio out a beautiful white. When mending curtJJas cover your ironing tioard or table with whatever black material you happen to have and lot your curtaias fall over it. Every hole easily can be seen. A good way to clean mica in a stove Itiat has l)ecome blackened wilh smoke. Is to lake it out of the stove and wash it with vuiegar. If the black does not come off immediately let It soak a Utile while. Washing Lace.â€" Baale doily (outside edge) flat on a cloth larger than lace , wash, stretch ctoth, and lace will dry in perfect shape and wilh less wear on lace. Several pieces can lie stretched on one cloth if large enough. To give the house a pleasant odor take .some live coals on shovel, sprinkle spices over themâ€" ckives and cinnamon â€"go Ihrougli iiooias with tho shovel, and tho hoii.se will be as sweet aij a ro.se for hours after. I'rotecting Wall Paper.â€" When wash- uig the ba.seboard it will be found a great convenience to have a sli'ip of tin two inchas wide and a foot in length which can Ije hold above the board, Ihiis protecting the wall paper. In this way Ihe work can bo done quickly and llvor- oiighly without the least injury lo tho wall paper. A ckick which persists in not going may ixs made as good as If taken to tho repairer's to be cleaned by saturating a piece of cotton tho size of an egg, lay IhU on a small cover of a can, and put inside of clock where it will not touch the worl(s. As soon as evaporation takes place your clock will be in flr.st-class Older, without any <'xpense or trouble. To prevent the usual cloud of dust when niinoviiig a carpel, llrst loosen the lacks, picking them all up when drawn, which will prevent accidents and toko only a few mUiulos of lime. Do not move the e(lgi> of tlio cai^iol until all the lacks have U^en removed ; then begin at one side and roll the carpet carefully ti tho other side of tho i^Hun. Two or thrix) iM'rsoiis can roll it l>eller than one alum*, l.ifl it carefully at both ejids and th> mid<lle at the .same lime, carry it oul of doors, and away from tho house lo bo cleaned. Begin at one side of Iho room again and roll pap<TS willi IhedlLst on tlieiii, taking imly a tew at a lime, and being curoful luit In di.sturb tho dust. Carry the rolls out as they ui"e made and pile them on the ground, wliero they call be Imnied. W.K-n the papers all have liis'ii reniovi^l Ihere will bt; no dust on llu! Iliior or in the air, and a mopping of llie Ikxir with a clean mop and goixl mhLs will iiiako it fresh.

Much Pomp and Expense Altaclied to Being Buried Property, Gelling buried in Spain, especially In a large city like Madrid, costs a great deal of iTKiney. To begin with, there Is a huge l)luck carriage, with enonnoua C springs, made up of a single >1at plat- form designed to support the casket. This Is covered, but is not enclrxsed wilh gloss, as are lite funeral coaches henj. It is open on all sides. There are four huge black plumes which decorate tlie carriage. Wreaths hang on the four l>osls of the platform. The wagon is drawn up by any num- ber of horses. The fa\orite numl)er is ten. They are harnessed in pairs. It gives a sort of tally-ho effect. All Ihe hoi-ses carry huge nodding iilumes on the head, fi.xcd in the liarness. To walk alongside Ihe horses and In Ihe rear there are mutes wearing black knee breeches, with black stockings and long black .shadbelly coals. They wear black three-cornered hats and wigs of while, wilh pigtails. There are postil- lions lo ride Ihe leaders and some of Iho hor.4es intervening l>elween them and the driver. It is Ihe custom to keep the catafalque wailing outside the door, with the casket lying on it. Tho men passing in Uie street all remove their hats. Many go up and look at the dale of death, and the age, and most say a symi)alhelic word. There are fully as many carriages as at the funerals of the poor here. When aM the preparations have been made, tho procession sets off. The hearse lends oil and progress is made in the city at a snail's pace. If Ihe way is muddy, as Is not unusual, tlie mutes walking along- side get splashed from fool lo head with the sticky, disagreeable Madrid mud. When the procession gets into the out- skirts of the town there U a change. The mules generally pile up behind on the caiTiages and by the time tho ceine- lery is reached the pixx-ession has lost something of its dignity. This may be imagined from the fact that some of the mules are clinging to straps in back of the cofltn and laughing and jesting as they jolt along. .Such a funeral will cost very close to 81,000, and that is not considered much. DAr^GEROL'S PHIMiATIVES. Medinfnps ol This Class do Not Cureâ€" Their Eltect is Wea* oning. Nothing oould be more cruel than lo induce a weak, aneeinic person to take u purgative medicine In the hope of Qnd- ing relief. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that a purgative iiKHhcine mere- ly gaHops through the Ixiwols, weaiken- ing Ihe tender tissues. /He will tell you also that a purgative cannot po^ssibly cure disease, or build up bad blood. When the blood is weak and watery, when the system is run down a Ionic IS tike one thing nt>ededâ€" ts Iho only thing Ihat will put you right. And in all this world there is no Ionic so good «s Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

I tiled s<;vcral meiiiciiics which .seemed actually to leave me worse. Then I wa.s advised to try Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills, and a half dozen Ikixcs have made me as well as ever I was. They have done mo so much good that I would like evopy weak giii in the land to Iry them." It was tho new blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually made that restored Mi.ss Beaudreau lo health and strenetfi, nnd in 'Ihe same way they will restore all sufferers from ujicemia, indigestion, heart palpitation, neuralgia, rheuma- tism and the .secret ailiiienl-,s llmt make the lives of s<i many women and grow- ing girls a burden. .Sold by all medi- cine dealers or by mail at 50 cent.s .•x Ipox or six boxes for .Â¥2.50 from Tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Cx)., Brockville, Ont.

Trom Cannibalism to Citizenship In Only Filly Years. The Maoris ore in many respects the in<ist remarkable savages wilh whom the white man has come in ivinlacl, says the National Uwigraiiliic Maga- zine.

POST OFFICE AT SINr..\I>OUE. Troubles That Curriers Have in Makinf Their Deliveries. The post office at Singapore must be a Tower of Babel. There are letters for delivery to Eu- roiMjans, Kurusians, Malays, Tamils, Bengalis, Parsees. .\rabs, .\rmonians, Sinhalese and other's, says St. Martin's- Ic-Granr. The postmen have their work cut out, and when there comes a Ta- mil letter they often have to beat up Ihe countryside for the man with no fixed atxide, and thoy often have to read out the addresses and origin of all their Idlers at vach house they visit. Ttiere are other obslaclc5 in the way of the speedy delivery ot leliters. Dogs, for example. The Malay postman is a Mohammedan, and when the friendly oog accosts him (dogs always accost pr.slmeii) the touch is a dclilement. The postman must batlie. And the bath must be taken before the next hour of prayer. I'ruyers are offered live times a day.
