To clean the dark wood-work of floors use a damp dusting cloth and then a dry one, or lightly brush the paint with a feather duster when it is only, dusty. Painted floors imply the use of rugs these should be lightly shaken every day if they are small, and broshed with a small broom daily when they are toolarge, to be frequent- ly shaken. Druegets used to protect the carpets of dining-rooms shoald be kept clean in the same way. Curtains at the windows should be lightly shaken every morning when the windows are opened, and shades dusted with a feather brush. Upholstered furni- ture should be brushed with a soft brush every day, and leather rubbed with a soft cloth. Mirrors can be polished with a soft cloth wet with a few drops of ammonia. The sun should not be allowed to fall on mirrors, be- cause its rays affect the metallic coating on the glass. The rag wet with ammonia will easily clean the plated door knobs and any metal trimmings about the fireplace also silver or plated salvers used at the table. Japanned trays can be polished with a little powdered whiting or dry flour, all of it being rubbed off with a soft cloth. Thus, it will be seen, an active, tidy girl can always keep her room absolutely clean by making it tidy every morning. A little ammoma or washmg soda m not water, with soap and a soft cloth, will clean dishes well, and they should be thoroughly dried with clean soft towels. Many persons always wash glasses in cold water, without soap. Never pour hot water into a glass un- less it contains a spoon this will serve as a .conductor for the heat off the water and lessen the risk of breakage. If all glass and china, when it first comes into the house, is put into a large boiler full of cold water, and gradually brought to the boiling-point, the subsequent chance of breakage is diminished. Ivory handles on knives should not be wet the blades of steel knives should be washed before they are scoured with fine brick-dust on a wet cork or rag. Soda in hot water will clean silver all polishing soaps and powders simply scratch a bright surface upon it. When silver is not in constant use, keep it entirely wrapped in tissue-paper. A little olive oil robbed on steel knives prevent rust. Keep a lump of washing soda in the sink, and flush it with hot water after washing dishes. Wash the dish towels after using them, with hot water and soap or soda, and dry them in the air wash and dry the dishcloths also. add, " lAidi has no injnrioiii eflEset onthe system, while the aatiaeptio prroertiM are iatlSa, tmi SOL up with loke-irarm water.

It must be washed before cooking at a brisk fire. Salt should never be put on meat to be hung, it has such a hardening tendency. Perhaps few things are purer and more efficacious than a weak solution of perman- ganate of potash for restoring game, meat or poultrv already tainted. How often will a few hours work the mischief in sultry weather, the meat chan|ging to such an ex- tent as to appear almostirremediably spoiled. However, by washing in the fluid it can be sweetened. As long as the liquid changes colorâ€" that is, loses its pink tint and be- comes greenish brownâ€" it must be renewed. When it ceases to change color the meat will do. After this treatment it is more suitable for braising, boiling or stewin? than for roasting and bakine, although it may be BO treated if well dried and floured. HiB Wile's Qaeer Idttle Ungli. A Montreal bnnnesa man's wife ha^been How to Cook Eggs. The advisability of cooking more eggs and less meat as the warm weather approaches is well understood by most housekeepers but the manner of cooking varies too little. Do not always boil or fry an egg try an ome- let even at the risk of making a failure of the first one. Serve eggs, however cooked, in the prettiest dish you can afford and let no trace of their presence linger about the table from one meal to another. The fol- lowing directions maybe of profit to some of our readers â€" Baked Eggs. â€" Break the eggs carefully into a buttered pie plate. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them and also add a few bits of butter. Bake in a quick oven. Remove as soon as the white of the egg is cooked and serve in the same dish, CuKDLED Eggs. â€" Pour boiling water on to the eggs and set the dish containing them on che back part of th? stove or where the Vater wlU Keep warm. Let them stand ten minutes. The white and yolk wiU be cook- ed alike and will be more digestible, than when boiled in the ordinary way. Dkoppep Egos.â€" Fill a pan with boiling water slightly salted. Lay in muffin rings and into each turn an egg. As soon as the white is set take the egg and ring up with a skimmer. Cooked in this way they are not broken or irregularly shaped as when drop- ped into the water without the rings. Poached Eggs.â€" Five eggs, one table- spoonful of butter, one level teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter cup of milk and a very lit- tle pepper. Beat the eggs well, add salt, pepper and milk. Melt the butter in a small bright tin and pour in the eggs set the pan n another of boiling water and stir constant- ly until the egg becomes a creamy mass when it is done and should be served at once. Plain Omelet. ^Two eggs, four table- rinfuls of milk, one-quarter teaspoonful salt, one-half tablespoonful of butter. Beat the yolks imtil creamy, add the milk and salt, and last the whites beaten to a stiff froth. Melt tJie butter in a small, smooth frying pan and pour in the mixture it should begin to bubble at once. Cook about four minutes, slipping the knife under it now and then to prevent burning. When the top begins to set, fold it ov» and turn ' it on to a small hot platt^:. Codfish Omelet. â€" Shred very finely a pint bowl of codfish, cover with cold water and cook half an hour in a covered sauce-pan. When tender, drain off the water beat three eggs and stir them into a pint of nulk and pour over the fish. Rub a piece of but- ter the size of an egg into a heaping table- spoonful of flour; stir into the fi^and milk. Cook until it thickens and serve in a cover- ed dish. TTSllFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. To remove proud flesh, pulverize loaf ugar and alum very fine and apply it to the part effected. An ink that will write on glass can be made from ammonium fluoride dissolved in water and mixed with three times its weight of barium sulphate. A stiff paste of glycerine and red lead will be found useful in making a joint air or gas proof. It is used at the joint between the neck and cap of the flasks for generat- ing oxygen gas. To remove paper labels from old bottles, wet the face of the label vrithiwater, and hold it for an instant over any convenient flame. The steam penetrates the label at once, and softens the paste. A Shop Hint. â€" It has been discovered that drill points heated to a cherry-red, and tempered by being driven into a bar of lead, will bore tlurough the hardest steel or plate glass without perceptibly blunting. Steadying a Pltjmb-Bob. â€" A simple and easy way of steadying a plumb-bob is to merely, after getting the line in position, drop the plumb in a can of water. The water offers resistance to the swaying of the line. When the burners of kerosene lamps be- come clogged, put them in a basin of hot water, containing washing soda, and let them boil for a few minutes. This will make them perfectly clean and almost as bright as new. Potato is used to clean steel pens, and generally acts as a pen- wiper. It removes all ink crust, and gives a peculiarly smooth flow to the ink. Pass new pens two or three times through a gas flame, and then the ink will flow freely. To Harden Tools. â€" A. E. Tucker claims that he has successfully edged grooving tools for chill rolls by dipping the actual cutting portion in mercury. No more of the steel than is actually necessary should be dipped, as, while imparting extreme hard- ness, it naturally makes the body of the tool extremely brittle.

Things looked just the same. He composed himself to write his customary letter, beginning " It is now half-past eight o'clock. I have just come in from my work on the books. 1 am awfuUy tired, dear, ahd miss you so much. I don't want to hurry you home, and I want you to stay as long as you feel like it this time, for 1 shall not want to let you leave me again, etc. etc." Ke finished the letter and stamped and directed it, and then took a look at the star- lit evening, and thinking he would finidi his cigar (he never used to smoke in the house) walked out to the comer. When he got back he heard a rustle in the dining- room and looked in. The light had been moved. There was a head bending over the light. His wife's smiling face looked up out of the radiance beneath the shade and greeted him. She was reading the letter. His heart dropped down his trousers' leg. He felt like death. " I'm reading a charm- ing letter from you," said she. " So kind of you It sounds like those you m ed to write before we were married." The lady read it through and then read it aloud. " If she'd only *a got mad I'd been all right," said the Montreal man Tuesday "but she didn'tâ€" she laughed. Every one of my yams twisted her up, and she laugh- ed until it made me sick.

What should be done when this happens In the majority of cases, if the sufferer has the patience to close the eye gently, and keep it immovably closed for from five minutes to a quarter of an hour, the offending par- ticle will be safely and painlessly washed away by the tears which the eye will natur- ally shed. The Pharmaceutische Rundschau gives this recipe for an excellent disinfectant Four pounds of crude sulphate of iron or two povmds of sulphate of copper are dis- solved in hot water, to which two ounces of sutphuric acid are added. Mix with the solution while still hot eight ounces of car- bolic acid, filter and fill in bottles. When this powerful remedy cannot be applied in its fluid state dry sawdust thoroughly moist- ened with it may be scattered over the floor of a dark room or other places to be disinfected. Habd and Soft Emery- Wheels. â€" Hard, close-grain emery-wheels do not cut so rapid- ly as soft, loose ones, from the fact that the particles in the hard stone compact, and the edges wear slightly before bresLking, while in the soft wheel the cement wears first, and more rapidly, presenting new cut- ting edges to the work, which when but â- liffhtly worn will pull out of the wheel on account of this increased friction surface fresh sharp edges replacing them. This is proved by the fact that the fastest-cutting wheels are the softest. She Onlv Wanted to Know.

Summer, as housekeepers know, is the time when it is difficult to hang meat long enough to be tender wLhout its becoming tainted. The joint should be securely bound with stinging nettles, then hung up in a canvas bag. Another simple way is to moisten a clean doth with malt vinegar, and wrap it round the meat while a third plan, easily carried out by country residencs, consists in covering the meat with butter- milk, which must be renewed every second day. Buttermilk is said to be good for soaking old game, hares especially, which can be made tender by the treatment. The lame Authority is loud in the praise of salicylic Killed By a Spider's Bite. Fritz Kibitz, one yctx and eight months old, was playing about the floor of his home at 650 Fifth street, in New York, about four o'clock on Saturday af temoon,°when sudden- ly he began screaming. His mother ran to him and saw a big spider on his left hand. The little fellow held the hand up and acted as though he was in greatpain. Mrs. Kibitz killed the spider, and, observing a small red mark on the child's hand, concluded that the spider had bitten it. She applied some lotion, but the child still continued its cries. A few hours later a small red lump appeared on the hand, which kept spreading until the swelling extended to the arm. A physician was called in and measures were taken to stop the spread of the poison. His efforts were unsuccessful, and on Sunday the child's arm almost to the shoulder was badly swoll- en. The little- fellow suffered great aoony. and cried incessantly until Sunday night, when he died. The spider was deeoil having a small drab body. (Scene â€" Highlandman's law. Dramatis personce gald.)

A St. Petersburg ootrespondent writes The palace of Gatschina so mnch spoken of lately, can not be compued with such castles as Vosaillee, Sans-8«oci, or Schoubmnn. It has nothing of the arlastic embduhment of the one, the historical memories of the other, or Ae Undscape. beauty and comfort of the third. Situated in the middle of a wide and desert plain, it has no pretty sur- roundings, and built without luxury its ex- terior does not make an imposing impression. The reason that, in spite of this, it has been chosen as a residence by the Czar since his accession to the throne is no doubt that it lies nearest to the capital, and is so isolated and capable of isolation, that with the ap- plication of all the means in which Russia is richer than most countries, the approach of unwished-for individuals can be prevent- ed Gatschina lies between Zar8koje-Se]o, and the roads from each of those places to the Imperial Palace, which have private court railway stations, are placed under par- ticular supervision, and may not be used ex- cept by the court. A high wall incloses the park, in the centre of which is the police and this wall is protected by patrols, which never leave the outer circle nor the park itself for one moment out of sight. The en- trance was, and is, only permittcl by special order. The head of the Imperial security- police. General Tschwerin, and the head of the Imperial headquarters. General Richter, guard the palace with especial care, so that the isolation of Gatschina is considered so perfect that the Royal family can abide there in absolute peace. Though the sup- erintendence is so strict, it is said that the inhabitants of the palace are not, and must not be aware of it. Their pleasure and com- forts are not impaired by it; and all the amusements that could be agreeable to the Emperor and his family â€" drive!)}, hunts, riding and rowing, evening parties, thea- trical representation, c. â€" can be partaken of. Adjoining the well-tended park is an extensive wood â€" like the park, surrounded by a wall and guarded. In the park itself are two lake-like basins of water; the palace contains splendid saloons, and two colon- nades which afford agreeable promenades in bad weather all this.aids in preventing the inhabitants from feeling anything of the anxious and never- tiring supervision held over them, and the want of more cnarming surroundings. Sometimes the Emperor and the Empress leave the castle and its region, and make excursions to the nearest country palaces or to St. Petersburg, on which occasion all large escorts are avoided. The Emperor refuses to drive in the company of police, but the authorities still are zealous in tak- ing all necessary measures to avoid acci- dents. Sometimes the Royal family inhabit Peterhof, but always return to Gatschina. Peterhof is more magnificent, Oranienbaum prettier, but Gatschina is considered safer and quietier. For many years before the accession of Alexander III. the palace had been unused he caused it to be restored and comfortably furnished. ' It has been seldom spoken of and scarcely more was known of it than that the Imperial hounds were kept there. The Gatschina race was celebrated, and a dog from the Imperial pack was very valuable, but people cared little for the castle and x)ark. Still Gats- china has its history, Peter the Great made a gift of it to his favorite sister, Nat- alis Catherine II. gave it to her favorite, Orlow, who furnished it at great expense, and built additional edifices, by which, after the plans of the Italian architect, Rinaldi, it received quite a different form. After Orlow's death the Empress rebought it from his family, and gave it to the Archduke Paul, who inhabited it for some lens^h of time. The palace forms a long square, at each corner of which is a stately tower. The dwelling rooms are in three stories. The colonnades run along the sides, and the pillars are of Finland marble. The rooms are not architecturally beautiful, but are adorned with valuable pictures and sculp- ture from the Imperial Hermitage in St. Petersburg, from the Anitschkow Palace, and from the Winter Palace, The views are limited by the park and wood, which, however, have been beautifully laid out by the celebrated St. Petersburg landscape gardener. A New Pet for the Baby. From Florida comes a suggestion in an- swer to the question, " How shall I amuse the baby " Give him a baby alligator to play with. The little creatures are great pets with children, who are not afraid to take them in their hands and to their bo- soms, or lay them against their cheeks with loving caresses as they would a doll or pet kitten. They are a cheap plaything, costing but 75 cents, and are very moderate in their wants. A small tub, half filled with water, and a board laid slanting wise â€" ^with one end in the water, upon which they can creep up and sun themselves â€" and twice a week a bit of beef the size of an English walnut, is all they require to sustain existence com- fortably. A cheap pet, and a charming one, the children think, who every year take hundreds of them North in periorated,boxes. The first possession of them is a great de- light to their small owners, who in their extravagant admirations take them out of their boxes in the hotel rooms and allow them to run about freely. The lively little reptile, with his cunning head uplifted and black eyes peeritig cur- iously about, has a trick of darting sudden- ly and disappearing instantaneously, under the most careful watching. He has also a fondness for a warm berth, and is more than likely to turn up, upon search, in the folds of baby's frock, or if the infant be asleep, cozily nestled about the little ones neck, with his pointed head rooted under the plump chin. Should baby chance to waken he will laugh and coo and clutch at his sUp- pery cradle mate, who wiU slip away from the little fingers aa if they were greased.

I The average cost of wheat in nine of tbe I principal centres of production in Idiadui- 1 ing tne four years ending 1884 was about j halfpenny per pound, as compared witU 0.97d. per pound in the United Kingdom, and 0.85d. in the United States.

It can jump eighteen inches, or about two hundred and sixteen times its own length, Hebrew maidens must have been fortunate beyond other women, for they enjoyed the privileges of leap-year every six months. From a lecture on Jewish courtship, deliver- ed by Mr. I. Abrahams, it appears that, though the men usually did the wooing, twice a year the Jewish damsels went in procession to the vineyards, where some sang such engaging ballads as " Young men, look not to beau^, but to piety '"â€"while others, the more beautiful, retorted with " See how fair we are I Choose your bride for beautv," The manufacture of glass in Europe is mostly carried on in France, Britain, Bel- gium, Germany, and Austria-Hungary, each country having its own specialty, Britain is celebrated for its flint-glass, which excels that of any other country. Belgium takes the lead in window-glass, which is exported to all countries. Germany excels specially in table glass, mirrors, and colored vases. It is also celebrated for its ruby glass. Aus- tria â€" or rather Bohemia â€" rivals France as regards form -and diversity of pattern, and beats Germany in the color and purity of id glass.
