Why Clothes Should Not be Brushed in Living Rooms. The use of the clothes brush in the living rooms of a house is emphatic ally denounced in the Lancet as a dan gerous practice, likely to lead to dis ease ipd death. ‘The imagination does not require to be stretched very far to realize that the clothes brush might be easily responsible for the dissemination of disease,” says the ex pert journal. "Dust is rarely, if ever, free from micro-organisms, and among them pathogenic entities have been recognized. Dust is in fact an enemy of the human race, a vehicle of dis ease, and should everywhere and on ever occasion, however trifling, be prevented as far as means can be em ployed to that end. Clothes, of course must be brushed Just as carpets must be beaten, but both processes create a nuisance which is different not in kind, but only in degree. Just, there fore, as there are grounds reserved for the beating of carpets, remote as they should be, from human habita tion, so also ought there to be in a household conducted on hygienic lines a special room relegated to the brush ing of clothes. The daily clothes have a large Capacity and a singular affin ity for dust which contain the seeds of j a common coid or a sore throat, or even of blood poisoning and tetanus, so that the suggestion tnat the clothes brush should be handled in a less in discriminate way than is usually the case can hardiy be regarded as chi merical." POLISH FOR THE FLOOR. Mixture That Is Guaranteed to Pro duce Good Results. A good mixture foi polishing c hard ! wood floor may be made from one ! third raw linseed oil and two-thirds j paraffin. It should be used sparingly or the polishing afterward will take a long time. In cleaning such a floor it is better to use a soft hair brush rather than a stiff one. After being well swept, the floor should be wiped with a dry. soft cloth, in order to take up all dust. If there are any spots they may be removed with a cioth wet with turpentine or they may be rubbed with a cloth wrung dry out of warm water. This will take off the poiish. but it may be restored by using a weighted brush. This brush has a long handle and is pushed back and forth till the polish is again restored. Woolen cloths may be used, but, of course, it will take longer-and the work will be tedious. The weighted brush, as well as others, should be thoroughly cleansed two or three times a year by washing in warm water, to which a few drops of ammonia has been added. The Ideal Bedroom. A cheerful bedroom is one of the essential points for an invalid or convalescent, and since it is difficult to find a house with all the bedrooms facing south, some one must be un selfish enough to give the sunniest rooms to the less robust members of the family. Many people insist that the eastern ; exposure is the best for a sleeping : room, because the early morning sun i is healthful, but if the room must, perforce, face north, it should have a light, cheerful paper and the light est possible draperies. The bed should r.ot be placed so that the light from the window shines directly in the eyes of the sleeper; it may be conducive to early rising, but the effect upon the eyes is un pleasant and often harmful. If the bed must face the windows and the footboard is not high enough to shield the eyes a screen should be put across over night between the window and the bed. Good Home-Made Paste. A good paste which is yet inexpen sive is a nect ssity in any home where there are children, since many a rainy day can be put in happily with a paste jar. a pair of scissors and an oid magazine or two. Purchase five cents' worth of guru arabic and turn it into a wide-mouthed pint jar hav ing a screw top. Fill the jar two thirds fuli cf cola water and set away over night. Tn the morning a smooth, transparent jelly will be the result, and this should be well stirred up from the bottom with a stick. Let it stand for three nights in this way. stirring it up each morning. Then add a few drops of wintergreen to scent it nicely, and it Is ready for use. Turn into a small jelly tumbler for im mediate use. keeping the large jar air-tight. This ‘ paste is not at all sticky and can be applied with the fingers, if necessary, without disagree able results. Lemon Souffle. One pint boiling water, two table spoonfuls cornstarch, mixed in a little cold water; boil until as thick as a custard: add a little salt, also butter size of a nut; take from stove, add yolks of three eggs beaten with a cup of sugar, juice and rind of one large lemon; mix well; bake 15 minutes; take from oven, put on white of eggs; beat with three teasnoonfuis pow dered sugar. Brown and serve cold. Setting the Color. Before a new print, sateen or gloria goes into the tub set the colors. Dis solve a handful of salt in a tub of cold water and soak about r.en min utes. Some blacks are made fresher and faster color by putting: strong black pepper tea in the first suds in which the garment is washed. Wash in lukewarm suds, using white, not yellow, soap. After rinsing, starch, then put through a clear rinsing wa ter again. This prevents the starch from showing. If desired very stiff, repeat the starching a second time, followed by rinsing. < Laundry Hint. In assorting clothes for vrashing, use cold water for stains such a3 per spiration. Stains that are from fruit or coffee must be treated with boiling water. Hoyrs of rubbing will be saved by following these simple precautions. To Removi Match Marks.

"Words canont speak highly enough 1 'or the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system iiad been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost be yond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leav ing me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to ’ me about Cuticura. The consequences i were 1 bought a set of the Cuticura ! Remedies of one of my friends who j was a druggist, and the praise that I | gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a mir acle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before apply ing the Ointment and I took the Re solvent at the same time. After two weeks’ treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have ! seen it since the cure, can hardly be lieve their own eyes. Robert Sehoen hauer. Xrwburg, X. Y_, August 21, 1203.” __ Four-Footed Thieves. In Winchester, England, a grocer began to miss money from his till, and set his wife to watch. After two weeks the wife was not able to de- | tect the thief, though money was j stolen a‘most every day. There were two clerks in the store, and the grocer K:._.I!y called th m thieves and discharged them. When two others had taken their places the money continued to dis appear, and the case was given to the police. An officer who hid under the counter solved the problem. He found bits of paper representing about $50 that the mice had made nests of. They had entered the till through a hole in the back and taken the bills one at a time. The two clerks who had been dis charged for dishonesty brought suit for damages, and the other day the grocer was compelled to pay them $300 each. A Well-Known Remedy. Cne cf the eldest, safest and most favorably known remedies in the world to-day is Brandreth's Fills—a blood purifier and laxative. Being purely vegetable, they can be used by old or young with perfect safety, and while other remedies require increased doses and finally cease acting alto gether with Brandreth’s Pills the same dose arrays has the same effect, no matter how long they are taken. One or two pills taken each night for a while is the best thing known for any one troubled with constipation, in digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble arising from impurity of the blood. Brandreth’s Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere-, plain or sugar-coated. Cosmopolitan America. Is there a type of “average Ameri can workman?" Dr. Arthur Shad j well, an Englishman, author of "In dustrial Efficiency,” tells how in one ! of the older towns of Massachusetts j he witnessed a procession of cotton i operatives on strike. "They were i marshaled by nationalities with a cu | rious effect. The different types, | cheek by jowl, stood out in ' ivid con i trast—the French, the familiar Eng lish, the Celtic, the Scandinr.-inn. the Slav, the small Portuguese and the swarthy Greek. Such a sight can bo seen nowhere else. It brought be fore my eyes in one living picture the amazing cosmopolitanism of Ameri can labor and made me think with a smile of that convenient abstraction but almost mythical person of whom we have heard so much—the ‘average American workman.’ ” Veteran Driver Has Record. James H. Johnson of Washington, who drove the remaining members of the Davis family at the funeral of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in Richmond, has driven the Davis carriage at the funerals of each of the members who have gone before. He drove at the funerals of Jefferson Davis and Miss Winnie Davis. He has never missed attending a Confederate reunion since the war. Intricate Game of Chess. Chess, as played by the Japanese, is the most intricate game in the world. The board has 81 squares. 20 pieces are used, and the pieces change their value when they arrive at a certain position on the ooard. COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that seme of the coffee import ers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares j and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers’ book a chap ter is headed “Coffee as a Medicine,” and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any “medicine” of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whis ky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great j majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistak able way by leaving off the active ir ritant-coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in aartjgg#"' What you do for an ungrateful man is thrown awav — T.arin'saying.
