along under each bar, heating the
iron well, and thus bringing out any
living thing, and cooking the ogga.
Of course, the bedstead should bo
stripped of everything, and the
springg may bo treated in the same
way.
Roach ogga must bo hunted out, look
ing undor edges of tables, or in cracks
in floors or in furniture; they are to
bo found in almost unthinkable
places, and it is said that one roach
egg contains hundreds of young. They
multiply so fast that unless one is
strictly on tbe job, the house is over
run with them at short notice. Scald
or burn out all such hiding places.
Cover shelves and other runways with
a mixture of powdorod borax and
sugar and leave it as long as ther.o is
a roacl to bo found. Kill every one
you can catch, and catch every one
you can, evon getting up in the night
for tho battlo.
For tho Housewife
When cooking vegetables that grow
above ground, they should bo salted
whilo cooking, but vegetables that
grow undor ground should be cooked
before being salted. Nearly all kinds
of vegetables should be put over the
flro in boiling water.
If there should be a scarcity of
cream, a good substitute may bo
made by beating together the white
of one egg and a teasponful of sugar
in a tablespoonful of water. Put a
spoonful of this in the cup before
pouring in tho coffee.
One of the handiest contrivances
for' tho kitchen, or in fact any room,
is tho corner cupboard. A corner cup
board is useful for holding anything,
from sewing silk to a saucepan. Over
the sink or cook-table should be a
shelf or two supported by brackets.
Rub tho nickeled teapot or kettle
with a rag dipped in coal oil and it
will bo perfectly cleaned. The coal
oil is much more effective than soap,
and gives a polish as well as a clean
ing. To mend glassware that is not to
be put into hot water, use a trans
parent cement made by dissolving an
ounce of gum shellac in enough al
cohol to form a thick paste about like
honey; apply with a flne small brush,
stick tho pieces together and set away
until ary.
To remove finger marks from un
framed photographs, cover with a
flne talcum powder, applying with a
soft cloth, rub gently, then blow the
powder off. This will clean tho pic
ture and not injure. Do not rub too
hard.
Where one must use the broom to
keep tho carpet or rug clean, before
sweeping, put the broom (which
should be kept for only that purpose)
in a pail of boiling water and let
stand until the water cets cold?
shake all of the water possible out of
the broom and let it become quite
dry. Tho broom should be a now
ono. When toady to use, dip it
quickly in hot water and shake all the
drops out, then sweep in the usual
way. The damp broom will take up
the dust, and it should bo dipped
quickly in and out of clean water
frequently to remove the dust. Go
over tho swept carpet with a mixture
of two tablespoonfulc of ox-gall and
four tablespoonfuls of lukewarm
water, wring a clean soft cloth out of
this, as dry as possible, then go over
tho carpet.

dipped in flour; brush one-half with
melted butter, fold over; put in a

be, but when well made, is well liked.
The cost of it is about the same as for
white flour.
PREFERRED THE PEACOCK
The first woman fever to run a sew
ing machine Miss ' Elizabeth Kil
bourne, ot -Wi ted, Conn. has just
died , at the age of 86.
'Miss Kilbourne was a friend of
Elias Howe, the ill-fated inventor of
the sewing machine. She used to
repeat "we's complaints about the
world's apathy before his marvelous
invention.
"The public is blind to everything
new and grand," Howe would say.
The, pabhe reminds me of Dugald
Donald, of Peebles.
"Dugald and a friend toured
America, and duly reached Niagara
falls. Angus, the friend, was im
pressed, but Ducrald said nothing.
.He just looked at the falls critically,
then yawned, and then relit his cigar.
" 'Ain't they grand?" said Angus.
'Ain't they wonderful?'
" 'Aye, mon, they are,' said Du
gald. 'But hoo about the auld pea
cock at Peebles that has the wooden
leg?' " -Wash'-gton Star.
