THE HOUSEHOLD

Hints From a Housewife's Notebook. Made of Old Shoe*—Iron* Ing an Art.

Mildewed linen should bo soaked la buttermilk for several hours and then washed in the usual way.

Creaking door hinges may be silenced by rubbing them with a bit of soap or applying to tbem a few drops of oil.

Stains on knife bandies may be removed by nibbing them for a few moments with a damp cloth dipped in kitchen salt.

To remove stains from a book use a solution of oxalic acid. This will not touch the printer's ink, bnt it will efface writing ink and other stains.

A good mixture for cleaning brass is made of whiting, mixed with one-third of emery powder. This should be moistened witb methylated spirit and ap plied to the brass with a cloth.

For blacking boots mix beer and a little sugar with tire blacking, as it will make a mncb better polish than if water were used. Do not use vinegar, for, thongh it makes a good polish, it is liable to make the leather crack.

To remove mud stains from woolen garments dissolve a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda in a pint of water. Dip a piece of material, of the same color as the mudstained garment, into the soda and water, and rub the mud stains with It.

Seed Distribution on Scientific Lines by the Agricultural Daparfnent. Care of Pi?s.

"The great, country lying in the tetn perate zone and stretching from ocean to ocean has within its confines almost every condition of climate aud soil,' says Secretary Wilson of the agricul tural department "It is possibi" therefore to grow

where jn the United States almost eTerything in the world We are trying to ascertain what particular parts of the United Statea will grow certain grains, fruits and vegetables and to what parts certain grains, etc., are peculiarly adapted We find, for instance, that the finest muskinelons sold in the sastern markets come from the dry valleys of Colorado There is. however, in the valleys of Afghanistan, perhaps the original home of the melon, a muskmelon greatly superior even to those raised in the west. So to Afghanistan we sent our agent, who returned us a quantity of seeds of the famous musk melon, which often grows to a weight of 20 or 30 pounds. "Years agothecalla lily was very rare and very exnensive. Its place in the popular esteem was taken by the beautiful Easter lily Every one at Easter time likes to see Easter lilies about, bnt they are expensive The bulbs come from Bermuda, where the soil is very rich But the production of the bulbs of these lilies, which grow so rapidly, exhausts the soil, and, as the soil in

Bermuda is very thin, they will scarcely be able to produce the lilies much longer They must have three things— a rich soil, heat and water. So we have imported 500 bnlbs, which we are distributing across the southern states. "The Californians complained that their fig trees w.ere like those in the Bible which bore no figs. They had fin« trees, fine flowers and very favorable conditions. Everything was there except the figs. Our scientists examined the situation carefully and decided that the trouble was that the pollen was not reaching the female flower. This was demonstrated by means of artificial fertilization The pollen was blown into the flowers by a blowpipe, and those flowers produced fruit. An agent was sent to Smyrna to eee how the trees there were fertilized, and he found a peculiar bee which lived among the fig trees and carried the pollen from flower to flower by means of its hairy legs.

The people of Smyrna did not want to let any of these bees go ontof the country, but our agent brought some away on twigs Unfortunately they were dead before they reached us, and some more will have to be obtained. "On the shores of the Mediterranean, in Algiers, is a branch of this department. We find that the date palm flourishes in Arizona, so our agent in Algiers has had the date palm grafted and planted, and when the young trees are ready to be removed he will take them np and carry them to Arizona, and we will produce our own dates. "Some vears ago there were no beet sugar facto'ies. Now there are a large number, but not nearly enough to supply the country with sugar. We experimented until we found where the best sugar beets could be raised, and then we induced the farmers to plant the beets and the manufacturers to plant the factories. As a result we are turning out hundreds of tons of sugar and keeping thousands of dollars at homa "To ascertain the best grain for our northern states and to procure the most hardy seeds we have an agent in southern Russia who is going among the farmers asking What is your best grain? How do yon plant it? Which is the hardiest variety 1 He will send us the wheat which they use and other grains. The westerners complained they had no grass that could stand the drought, so we sent to the steppes of

Russia and got iiome of that grass."

NEW CURE FOR COBRA BITES

A Turn That Will Shake L'p American Snake Story Inventor*. American inventors of snake stories must look to their laurels. The educated Bengali has entered into competition, and judging from the sample given in good faith by a native paper at Calcutta he will be hard to beat. Some time back the lovely daughter of a wealthy Zemindar was bitten by a cobra and died in the course of a few hours. As her remains were being conveyed to the Ganges for sepulture a passing patriarch of reverend mien proposed that he should be allowed to experiment with resuscitation. As he bore a high repu-

perieuce in medical practice, says an eminent authority, teaches that the patient with a weak heart must be extremely cautious in his exercises, and the demonstration of a dilatation of the healthy heart under sudden, violent, exhausting effort which has been made was a surprising nature. Many'olin* leal observers in Germany and in this wuiJtry have detected by percussion and ibseiTation of the changes in the heart beats that there is under strain and exertion Considerable dilatation, which continues for a shorter or longer time after the e«trtion is over. Ocular proof of this has been afforded by the Roentgen rays.

Proud of Her Work.

He looked with forced admiration at the slippers—forced because he already had half a dozen pairs. "You don't mean to tell me that they are all your own work? What a talented little wife I'm going to have 1"

And she smiled, though the plain truth was that she had bought the uppers, paid a man to sole them and then managed to sew the bows on crooked after her mother had made them. Yet she was very prond and really wonder* ed how she had managed to accomplish so much.—Detroit Journal.
