KRESS , et€., Chenille portieres may be cleaned at bhome, by putting them one at a time, in a tub of warm soapâ€"suds. Do not rub, but lift and press them through If necessary to remove grease spots from clothing, etc., chlornform is betâ€" ter than benzine or gasoline. The use of the latter will sometimesâ€"in fact, almost alwaysâ€"léave a spot outlined by a ring, which looks almost as bad and is certainly larger than the origâ€" inal spot. The chloroform leaves no such residue behind. If you prefer soft soap in your launâ€" dry work, remember that a bar of hard soap sliced fine, and dissolved in a couâ€" ple of quarts of hot soft water, is far better than the strong black soap made of wood ash lye, and more economical than hard soap. Brushes of all kinds should be restâ€" ed on the bristles to dry, as otherwise the water will rot the brush. The yolks of eggs dry almost as soon as they come in contact with the air, but if dropped into a cup of cold water, and set in the refrigerator they will keep for two days at least. If matches have been scratched on bare walls, cut a lemon in two and rub the marks with it. Wash off the acid with clear water, and when dry rub with whiting till the stains canâ€" not be seen. a teaspoon also for that is frequentâ€" ly forgotten. In cold weather a well corked bottle of milk can also be car ried without danger of becoming sour. To keep up and tempt the child‘s apâ€" petite, variety is necessary. The same kind of sandwiches or cake every day becomes monotonous and consequently the lunches are not relished. Surely there is such a variety to select from, that if a little thought is given to it, the lunch basket can be made a source of much pleasure. In filling the basket, line it with a clean napkin first of all; then place the sandwiches neat‘y at one end with the cake. If these are rolled separateâ€" ly in paraffin paper they keep so much better, Always roll pickles in waxed paper, otherwise the vinegar will be absorbed b{ bread, cake or whatever happens tobe next to them. When the lunch is carried every day, a little box of salt should be kept at school, and Cake of some kind must not be forgotâ€" ten when there are no tarts. Smaill cup cakes prettily iced, and with currants in them are the delight of the chilâ€" dren. Fruit, either preserved or fresh, should go into the basket every day. Jelly glasses with covers that screw on are excellent for cooked fruilts. Many mothers believe that children should not have pickles, but a limited quanâ€" tity will not harm them, and pickles are always relished in the lunch basket. Celery, nicely cut, is very good with sandwiches, and keeps nicely in the basket. By all means have good bread, as the sandwiches form the most importâ€" ant part of the lunch; and vary the white bread with that made from graâ€" ham or whole wheat. Some of the bread seen in lunch baskets is certainly not fit toeat. It is soggy and coarse grainâ€" ed half sour ang poorly baked. _ It should be the imperative duty of every mother and housekeeper to learn to make good breadâ€"truly the staff of life. Cut the slices thin. Rather make four small, delicate sandwiches, than two clumsy unpalatable ones. Spread with butter, and out in the filling. This may consist of thin slices of boiled ham, or it may be chopped very fine : grated or sliced cheese; minced hardâ€" boiled eigs, or nicel{ fried. Chopped nuts make a fine filling. Boiled eggs are nice for a change \\'itfil simple bread and butter sandwiches. Fried chickâ€" en, rolled in paraffin paper is delicious and minced chicken makes a delicate filling for sandwiches. The number of sandwiches to put into the basket deâ€" pends on the appetite of the child and. he can tell just about how much he wants. Pie as a rule should not be pult into a lunch basket. It crushes easily and the contents run out over everything« Tarts, however, are relâ€" ished by the little folks. Roll out nice pie crust and cut into five inch squares. Place some fruit, like apple, peach,cookâ€" ed prunes, or anything that is not too juicy in the center; sprinkle with suâ€" gar and fold the edges over. These are dry and do not fall to pieces, making an especially nice addition to the lunch. who puts up lunches should keep on bhand a quantity of paraffin paper, as nothing keeps the lunch neater lookâ€" ing, and, rolled about sandwiches and cakes, it keeps them moist and palatâ€" able. One can frequently judge what kind of a home and mother a child has by the way his lunch is prepared. The child who opens a basket, displaying a clean white napkin, and delicately made sandwiches placed neatiy in it, need not feel ashamed of his lunch, and he certainly has a careful mother. The best receptacle in which to carâ€" ry the school lunch is a covered basâ€" ket, provided with handies. The lunch will always be in nice order, and amall cups or glass jars with covers may be safely carried in them. Baskets are betâ€" ter than tin boxres for many reasons. They are open to air and can always be kept clean and asweet. Every mother are usually ready for a wellâ€"prepared supper. In many homes the dinner is served at 6 o‘clock, in order that all the family may be present at the prinâ€" cipal meal of the day and it is a very A substantial breakfast should be provided. Meat and potatoes or eggs, milk, bread and fruit, togetber with oatmeal or some other cereal, well cooked, constitutes a good morning meal. Too much tea and coffee are not to be recommended for the growing child, but milk or chocolate will be found very nourishing. Where the lunch is carried to school, the children Judging from the varied packages, parceals, baskets, etc., which contain the children‘s lunches, all mothers do not attach equal importance to what conâ€" stitutes the midday meal for school children. _A healthy,. growing child needs something substantial. Cakes and pastries do not probably nourish brain and muscle, and where the school is such a distance from home, that the little folks cannot get a warm dinner at noon, the lunch must, in a great measure, take its place.

Like Other ‘Mortals he fell a Victim to Diseaseâ€"Dr. Agnew‘s Catarrhal Powâ€" der Was the Agent which Restored Him to Health and hbe Gladly Allows his Name to be Used in Telling it That Others May be Benefited too. Rev. Chas. E. Whitcombe, Rector of 6t. Matthew‘s Episcopal Church, and Principal of Bt. Matthew‘s Church Echool, Hamilton, was a great sufâ€" ferer. Dr. Agnew‘s Catarrhal Powder cured him, and he now proclaims to the world that as a safe, simple and certain cure it has no equal.

Mb Ilds s .20 liihrn h tend t hss uts ces lc s 1c d i2300 Several London papers are doing their share in this direction. ‘"Conceive the horror," says one, "of the Canonbury mother on‘ finding at the door an inâ€" cubator man who wants ‘the loan of a baby for a few days.‘ He might add, ‘I‘d like a thin one with no teeth, if you‘ve ‘got, one. because our incubator grows four teeth an hour and makes the hair frizzy. The beauty of our maâ€" chines is that they are large. and the child cam walk around with its friends and need not lie on its back all day and do nothing.‘ This is what may haippen all wé;'trh-eâ€"(.-;i.tymam'i' the sub urbs if something is not done to check the career of the baby borrower." "However, it should not be forgotten that im some quarters he will be hailâ€" In fact it has assumed such proporâ€" tions that a note of warning to parents and guardians and other custodians is sounded by the directors of the Infant Incubator at Earlscourt. who state that in consequence of the success of their institution, various persons are calling upon and writing to members of the medical profession, hospitals and _ inâ€" firmaries, asking for the loan of chilâ€" dren to experiment with." The hospitâ€" als and infirmaries may be expected to take care of themselves and the chilâ€" dren placed in their care, but for the suburban matron the new industry opâ€" ens up an appalling prospect of mornâ€" ing calls from gentlemen in search of i:n%:mts for exg)eriment:\l purposes. And as plausible fraud fattens on credulâ€" ity, the new industry may be expected to grow more extensive proportions unâ€" less wide ’puhli('ity is given to the warning of the institution named. Sold by McFarlane & Co. The latest thing in this line adds a new terror to life in England‘s great metropolis. _ Kidnnpping and body snatching are pastimes of hoary age, but the industry of baby borrowing for purposes of incubation is nmbsolutely new and up to date, and thise engaged in it seem to be doing a brisk busiâ€" ness in London. ) . Thildren Borrowed To Be Experimented With in Incubators, In a great city like London the numâ€" ber of people that live by their wits and by questionable and illegal pracâ€" tices is naturally very large, and, to say the least, keeps pace with ithe growth of population. _ Almost every day the Londoner who keeps his eyes alnd ears open sees, or hears of a new scheme by which somehbody hopes to gain a livelihood or make money withâ€" out honest labor. ‘ Fruit Marmalade.â€"Pare equal quanâ€" tities of apples, pears, peaches and quinces. Allow a pint of water to six pounds of fruit and boil till thoroughly done. Mash well, put into a clean ketâ€" tle, add twoâ€"thirds the weight of the fruit in sugar and cook gently for two hours, or till a syrup is formed. The heat should be moderate. Strain the juice from the fruit ; boil it down and skim it. Then put the plums into cans, pour over them the bot syrup and seal at once. The fruit does not cook to pieces by this process.

Artificial Much More Lasting Than the Natural, The comparatively durability of difâ€" ferent flooring materials is set forth in an article in the Scientific Ameriâ€" can based upon careful and accurate investigations. In these tests an orâ€" dinary iron rubhing wheel was used, like that employed by stone workers for rubbing a smooth face on marbls or sandstone, and the samples to he tested to blocks of sandstone, laid face downward on the rubber wheel, whichi revolved at the rate of 75 revolutions a minute, being supplied with sharp sand and water. The blocks to which _ the _ floorings were cementâ€" ed were of _ equal _ weight, so that the rubbing was effected under nearly the same pressure in all cases. Curiousâ€" ly enough, the material which resistâ€" ed best this severe trial was India rubâ€" ber tiling, which after an hour‘s rubâ€" bing lost only one sixty fourth of an inch of its tthlck.noss'; and, next to this, English encaustic tile gave the best results, losing only one eighth of an inch in an hour‘s treatment. The arâ€" tificial stone known as ‘"granolithic‘ was third, losing three eighths of an inch; while North River bluestone lost nine sixteenths of an inch. All the marbles wore away very rapidly; a piece of marble mosaic disappeared enâ€" tirely in 35 minutes, while solid white Vermont marble lost three fourths of an inch in an hour. Most of the wood floorings resisted abrasion better than the marble; thus, white pine lost only seven sixteenths of an inch under treatment that removed nearly twice as much from solid marble ; yellow pine about like white, and oak lost more than either of the pines.
