I-IINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS. Soak lamp wlcks in vinegar, then dry them thoroughly to keep the lamp from smoking. Discolorations on china baking dishes and custard cups can be re- moved with whiting. - in the last rinsing water will make handkerchiefs easier to iron and look better when done. A useful thing to remember is that the iron will not stick to the clothes if the starch used has been mixed with soapy water. Kitchen towels should be out every day after the dinner things are washed and boiled at least once I A little borax a week, If a lamp get-s overturned water will be of no use in extinguishing w ashed the flames. Earth, sand or flour thrown on it will have the desired effect. Wooden spoons should be used alâ€" ways when making sauces and beatâ€" ing cake. If metal spoons are used they become ground down at the point and also wear out the sauce- pan. Never wear new stockings until you have had them washed, for the washing somewhat shrinks and tong-hens the fibre of the wool and they will not be so liable to go into holes as if worn directly they wore bought. Match marks on a polished or varnis'hed' surface may be removed by first rubbing them with a cut lemon and then with a. cloth dipped in Water. thn the stopper of a decanter sticks first wring a cloth out of very hot water and wind it round the neck of the bottle. The heat will cause it to expand when the stopper may be removed. .If gloves are not allowed to be- come too soiled before cleaning they can be made to look quite new again by the use of bcnzine. Many patent glove cleaners are on the market, but after all is said and done there is nothing so good as banme. Nothing acts on iron rust in cloth so quickly as lemon juice and salt. lie sure that the materials is well wet with the lemon and completely cover the spot with salt. reasonable exposure to strong sunâ€" light not a trace of the rust will remain. TO MEND GRANITE. It has long been thought that mending granite or wood fibre is an impossibility, but after a little ex- perience one learns that such mendâ€" ing can be done, and at home, with almost no expense. When a 'granite basin or kettle be- gins to leak, the hole may be enâ€" larged a, little and a, copper rivet driven into it. ment, very little strength, and the leak is effectually stopped. Different sizes of copper rivets may be bought at the hardware store, probably for five cents a. package assorted. These will likely mend all the graniteware that one would use in a: lifetime. The rivet has a, head on one end, the small end is inserted in the hole in the article to be mended, it is press- ed through, and then the vessel placâ€" ed upon something firm and the end of the rivet hammered down or flat- toned out to hold it in place. The rivets are soft and easily manipulat- ed. It is best to mend a hole as soon as it appears, for if left to beâ€" come too large, the granite is liable to peel off for Some distance around, and if it does the ware will not hold the rivet, but will chip away. There exists a, device for men-ding wood fibre which until now no one supposed could be mended. The ar- ticle mended was a tub, and had quite a hole broken into it. The owner took some putty and careful- ]y filled up the break, and allowod it to harden. This might last a life- time, but to make the work more substantial, the place was painted over, and a firm cloth pressed over the paint, painted again, and lo! the tub was quite as strong as ever, if not stronger in that place. ._____.+______, THE ARGUMENT WAS SOUND. 'A man in a smoking compartment of a train leant over to the man sitting opposite to him, and said: “Have you a match?” "Yes; but I haven‘t got a cigar,” was the prompt. reply. “Then you can’t want the match,” sw'eetly returned the first man. “You never told me Miss Fairgirl was an athlete." “Yell, is she?" “Yes; she has thrown me ovci.” q a; After ' It takes but a 1110-- WHAT WOMEN SUPPER. At All Ages They Need Rich, Pure Blood to Secure Health and Happiness. A woman needs medicine more than. a man. Her organism is more comâ€" plex, her system more delicate. Her health is disturbed regularly in the course of nature. if anything hap- pens to interfere with that natural course, she goes through unspeak- able suffering. In fact the health of every function and the happiness of every moment of a woman’s life do- pcnds upon the richness and the‘ ref gularity of her blood supply. That is the simple scientific reason why Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are worth more than their weight in gold to women of all ages from fifteen to fifty. These pills actually make the rich, red blood that brings health. and happiness and freedom from pain to every woman. Mrs. N‘eil Ferguson, Ash'field, N. S., ‘ In justice to you, and in the hope that what I say may benefit other suffer- ing Women, I take pleasure in stat- ing that I have found wonderful benefit from the use of Dr. Williams’ Pile Pills. When I began using the pills I was so badly run down that I could scarcely go about; at times I suffered very much and felt that life was a burden. Thanks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I can now say I am enjoying better health than I ever expected to have again, and I can most 'heartily recommend these pills to other suffering women." _ Dr. Williams' Pink. I’ills cured Mrs. Ferguson because they filled her veins with the rich, pure blood so necessary to the health and happiâ€" ness of every human being. It is for this reason that these pills always cure such troubles as anaemia, neu- ralgia, heart trouble, indigestion. rheumatism, sciatiCa, St. Vitus dance, paralysis, kidney and liver troubles, and the special ailments of growing girls and women of middle age. You Can get these pills from any dealer in medicine, but you should be careful to see that the full name, “Dr. Williams" Pink Pills for, Pale People,” is on the wrapper around caCh box. If you wish you can get the pills by mail at .50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. by writin-g’lhe Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 'lirockville, Ont. __._+___.._._ A DIMINISIIING COMPANY. As the liner cleared the heads and the heavy swell of the open Atlantic became noticeable, dinner was served. The twentyâ€"six places at the capâ€" tain’s table were filled, says Puck; and as the soup appeared, the capâ€" tain addressed his table companions. “I trust that all twentyâ€"five of you will have a pleasant trip,” he said, “and that this little assemblage of twrnty-four will reach port much benefited by the voyage. I look upâ€" on the twonty~tWo smiling faces as a father upon his family, for I am reâ€" sponsible for the lives of this group of nineteen.

When Blaine was a young lawyer and cases were few, he was asked to defend a povertyâ€"stricken tramp ac‘ cused of stealing a watch. He plead- ed with all the ardor at his com- mand, drawing so pathetic a picture with such convincing energy that on closing of his argument the court was in tears and even the tramp wept. The jury deliberated but a few minutes ' and returned the ver- dict, “Not guilty.” Then the tramp drew himself up, tears streamed down his face as he lookedat the future "plumed knight,” and said: “Sir, I never heard so grand a plea. I have not cried before since I was a child. I have no money with which to re- ward you, but (drawing a package from the depths of his ragged clothes) here's that watch; take it and welcome."-â€"-Boston Herald. _..___...+__.___-. BABY’S DANGER. A mother cannot watch her little ones too carefully during the hot Weather. 'Dys'entery, diarrhoea, cholera infantum, and disorders of the stomach are alarmingly frequent during the summer months: and un- less the mother has at hand an efâ€" ficient remedy to check and cure the trouble 3, little life may go almost before you realize the case is seri= ous. At the first sign of any of these ailments the wise mother will give her little one Baby’s Own Tab- lets, which promptly cure all hot weather ailments. Mrs; John Lanâ€" caster, North Portal, N. W. T., says: “My baby was attacked with diar- rhoea and vomiting. I at once gave Baby‘s .Own Tablets and the next day she was as Well as ever.
