Wb.o can blame a child for having little respect for the mother who never atterripts to punish, when punishment is due, but simply shakes her head dolefully over her -0hildreu's wrong-doing and threatens them by the words, "I'll tell your father when h e comes home, he'll punish you." Every mother should have just as much authority over her children as their father· has. She should exercise the right to reprove or punish when uecessar:)', just as much as she should exercise the right to give encouragement, and praise, when need·ed or deserved. All children at some time during their lives, need punishment, I don' t mean whippina, there are other modes of punishment, that meet all requirements, and are much less degrading to the child and moth er. I find that a half hour of solitary confinement, tlOing to bed an hour earlier at night, or the loss of some hoped-for excursion, or :toy, will usually wor k wonders with my little brood. Whipping is something seldom, very seldom resorted to with my little ·two of salt in the middle of eacb, and, un less a shower washes it off, it will kill the w eeds. In a basin of water, salt, of course, falls to the bo tom ; so never soak salt fish with the skin side down, as the salt will fall to ' the skin 11-cd remain there. , S alt and mustard, a \easpoonful of each followed with sweet oil, melted butter, or milk, is the antidote for Fowler 's solution, white precipitate of arsenic. For stains on the hands, nothing is better tban a little salt, with enough lemon juice to moisten it, rubbed on the spo s and then washed off in clear water. l!'or weeds in pitvements or gravel walks, make a strong brine of coarse salt and boilicg water ; put the brine in a sprinkling can and wa.ter the weeds thoroughly, being care!ul uot to let any of the brine get on the grass, or it will kill i t too. If a chimney or flue catches on fire, close all windows and door s first, then h ang !I blanket in front of the grate to exclude all air. Water should uever be poured down the chimney, aE it spoils the carpets\ Coarse salt thrown down the flue is much t · t , better 0 ' · . . . .
