Label Your Bottles.

For convenience sake, if for no other reason, label all your bottles, cans and boxes. In the end labels ore a great time saver. How much better to run tlie eye,along a line of neatly labeled cans, reach the shelf and take ground allspice than to begin at tne.iw numbering eleven or more, touch the tongue to every one ard sniff suspiciously until the correct spice is found. Mistakes often occur from unlabeled medicine Lotties. It is almost impost 1 le to pick up a daily paper which does not contain an account of some unhappy woman drinking poison in place of a tonic. Then narrowing tales are told of the baby being rubbed with a solution of corrosive sublimate in alcohol because the insect eradicator happened to he in a bottle bearing the old label of alcohol. For the China Cloret. Some pretty tilings are being brought out in the new china ware of the season. Among them are some attractive stone jugs. They are made in both buff color and sage green and in two sizes—pints and quarts. One style is in a bamboo pattern, another is decorated with relief designs, illustrating the adventures o-f Tam O’Shanter, while a third shows a bulrush pattern. These jugs are copies of original Ridgway stone molds east in 1833. Can ico china is another novelty that is daintily pretty. It is on the 6ame order as the famous Dresden china, and has a beautiful Dresden floral decoration. Kach piece is elaborately traced in gold. Novelty In Couch Covert. A novelty in Dutch prints for couch covers has appeared. The goods resembles duck and doubtless possess the wearing qualities of that material. The prettiest designs are in delft or navy blue, and in some of the patterns the heavy threads run the length of the goods, producing an attractive barred effect. These prints are forty inches wide and some resemble brocade, others showing designs of trees or landscape. Something to Know.
