WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore Tarnished Pieces te

“Very few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed,” sald u sales-
man in the furniture section of a large
pure soap. Then with a
cheesecloth all the woodwork
dirt will come off. A second plece of
cheesecloth should be wrung dry out of
to- | hot water. On this should be poured a
tablespoon of first class furniture pol-
tsh. The heat will spread the polish
through the cloth. Next the furniture
should be gone over with the second
cloth. There will be no need of put-
ting on more polish, for that much will
do all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake of using too much
polish and leaving it thick on the furni-
ture. where it looks dauby and where
it gathers more dirt.”

Be sure that the sheep barn has a
tight roof, a dry floor, good ventilation
and no drafts.
Hold on to some of the clover for spring
feeding. It is great when the sheep get
tired of timothy.
Look out for sore
lambs. When such conditions are discov-
ered, rub the affected parts twice a day
with salted butter.

in any kind of business depends more up-

a successful fruit grower must be one

for the occupation and who will make it

more than dusted in years. A square

other for the polishing will do the
work, and the resuit will well repay
the effort.—Indianapolis News.
HOT DRINKS.
1f Taken Above 130 Degrees They In- |
jure the Stomach.
Many people without realizing it are
in the habit of drinking tea at much
too high ua temperature, Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
“Diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
ty.”
“Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es-
pecially, at a temperature which if
applied to the hands or feet would in-
flict painful scalds. Most teu drinkers
145 degrees F.,
which the mouth bears very well it
slowly sipped. while the cup itself is
too het to be held by any hand.
“But the habit of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach, and it
ought not to be taken above 130 de-
grees or so. Again, water at 120 de-
grees, which feels a little more than
lukewarm in the mouth, causes severe
pain if the band is dipped in it and
cannot be endured.”
He has, however, some good words
to say for the early morning tea.
“This morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and a half
before the first meal of the day. For
many years I have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning in
bed after tea, as | am doing at this
moment, and at no time do 1 find the
brain clearer for work, while the ap
petite for solid food is excellent when
the hour for breakfast arrives.”
Trudging For the Wash.
The Portuguese country people as a |

a result of the
usual thing have
durance, doubtless as
wgurvival of the fittest” for many gen- |
erations. The laundry workers are an
example of this. People come in from
long distances to get soiled clothes of
city customers. The clothes will be
placed in big panniers on the family
donkey, and the peasants will start
back late in the afternoon. Some of
them will travel all night. and it will
be sunup before they reach their
homes, many miles from Lisbon or
Oporto. A day or two later they are
trudging back to deliver the clothes,
now spotlessly clean. and to get an-
other lot from the same patron. Many
a countryman and his wife take a
jaunt of fifieen miles or more, which
| makes one think that there might be
many who could rival the feats of
Weston and O'Leary as walkers if
they tried.—Christian Herald.

An Early “Trust”
As an example of trusts and monop-
olies prevalent even in that early day
it may be mentioned that in 1750 one
Benjamin Crabb obtained the exclu-
sive right to make sperm candles in
Massachusetts for fourteen years. A
year later, however. a factory was
started in Providence. R. I.. and with:
in the decade there were eight fac
tories in New England and one in
Philadelphia. Their output greatly re-
duced tha price of candles. which not
long before sold for 5 shillings a pound.
In those days $1.25 was worth fully
three times as much as it is nmow.—N.

VARIETIES IN CHEESES.
Sgrmesan !s So Hard That Cutting Is
Practically Impossible.
The difference in cheeses Is some-
times confusing to those who have not
access to a large market. Edam, pine
apple. Parmesan and Roquefort are
hard cheeses, Neufchatel, cream and
cottage cheeses soft. Genuine cream
cheese is made from a rich cream
thickened by souring or from sweet
cream thickened rennet. Neufchatel
§8 a soft rennet cheese made from
cow's milk either whole or skimmed.
Cottage cheese is made from sour milk
without the use of rennet. Roquefort
ts a hard rennet cheese made from the
milk of sheep, the name being derived
from the village of Roquefort, in the
southeastern part of France, where the
cheese is ripened in caves or natural
caverns. Edam is a hard rennet
cheese produced in Holland and Is
made from unskimmed cow's milk.
Parmesan is an Italian cheese known
for centuries in that country as Grana,
the term referring to the granular con-
dition of the cheese. It is so hard cut-
ting 1s practically impossible, and we
get it In this country grated in bot-
tles. This cheese is made from skim-
med milk. Pineapple cheese is said to
have originated in Litchfield county,
Conn.. and is a hard rennet cheese
made from cow's milk. The flavor of
different cheeses is given by the meth-
od of ripening. due to the action of
bacteria.
Hard and soft cheeses differ mainly
in the fat constituents and methods of
manufacture. but most of all in thelr
keeping quality, the hard cheeses keep-
ing for a protracted time.—Good House-
keeping.
MAKING A PICTURE LOVER.
A Cynical and Caustic Fling at the
English Art Patron.
The general art patron in England is
a brewer or distiller. Five and forty
is the age at which he begins to make
his taste felt in the art world, and the
cause of his collection is the following
or analogous reason. After a heavy
dinner, when the smoke cloud is blow-
ing lustily, Brown says to Smith: “I
know you don't care for pictures, so
you wouldn't think that Leader was
worth £1,500. Well, I paid all that
and something more, too, at the last
academy for it.” Smith, who has nev-
er heard of Leader, turns slowly
round on his chair, and his brain, stu-
pefied with strong wine and tobacco,
gradually becomes aware of a village
by a river bank seen in black silhou-
ette upon a sunset sky. Wine and
food have made him happily sentimen-
tal, and he remembers having seen a
village looking very like that village
when he was paying his attentions to
the eldest Miss Jones. Yes, it was
looking like that, all quite sharp and
clear on a yellow sky, and the trees
were black and still, just like those
trees. Smith determines that he, too,
shall possess a Leader. He may not
be quite as big a man as Brown, but
he has been doing pretty well lately.
There's no reason why he shouldn't
have a Leader. So frredeemable mis-
chief has been done at Brown's dinner
party. Another five or six thousand a
year will exert its mighty influence in
the service of bad art.—George Moore.

Proper Breathing. |
To breathe properly take a deep,
slow breath, another and another. Put
both the hands en your ribs and see
how they expand and contract as you
preathe in and out. Put one hand on
the low ribs In front and the other
opposite it on the back. Feel how the
back swells as you breathe. There is
a powerful muscle called the dia-
phragm that divides the chest from
the abdomen. As the Heart and lungs
are in the chest, the diaphragm may
be called the floor of the chest. It is
fastened to the backbone, the ribs and
the sternum, or breastbone. And when
people speak of diaphragmatic breath-
ing they mean just what we are doing
now—filling the lungs with air and
emptying them by the expansion and
contraction.—Boston Herald.
Our First Cup of Tea.
The first cup of tea made in this
country was brewed on the Shapleigh
estate in Eliot, N. H., It is said, early
in the seventeenth century. Nicholas
Shapleigh of England, a rich tea deal-
er, fitted out an expedition in 1623,
placed his son-in-law in command and
directed him to explore a portion of
the new world. The son-in-law landed
at Kittery Point, and two years later
Nicholas settled in what is now Eliot.
The estate is still owned by his de-
scondants.—Boston Globe.
