KeroMM For Cleoatac. The cleansing properties of kerosene Are not generally recognized. Nothing makes a kitchen cupboard more attractive than gleaming tinware. A few drops of kerosene wiU accomplish this. Soap and water will remove tbe oil, and tbe odor will soon disappear. There Is nothing like kerosene to make tin- wash basin shine. It is effective as a furniture polish. Mahogany can be freed front’that blue, smoky film by tbe use of a low drops of oil mixed with a little wufei Carved furniture, which deties the dost Cloth, can be made as attractive as new by brushing it wttb a soft hairbsosh dipped in kerosene. For removing stains anti spots from lavatory basin and bathtub kerosene cannot be equated. Table oilcloths ar the ttnatemn on Che kitchen dour can be kept fresher and cleaner with oil than with soap epd wuter.

A few drops a# oil will do much toward starting particles of dost from machinery. If h clock Is to- be cleaned It can be done effectively by placing in Che lower part a soft doth saturated with kerosene. The bits of dirt and particles of dost wfD be loosened by tbe vapor and vrtttdrop down and can be removed.

These are three exoeltom! ways of serving asparagus—with haflanckttoe Banco, with plain ereatrn sense or cold as a salad with sanoe vinaigrette. Asparagus to be tn perfection must not be boiled mare than eighteen or twenty minutes at the very most, and tt must be boiled very gently. Put it In a saucepan wlth ooki -water -enough to cover it and add a BtOe salt to the water. Leave the asparagus tied tn a hunch while cooking. When done hit it carefully from the water, let it drain two or three minutes, then serve It an 8 hot platter on a folded napkin. Serve the sauce always in a separate dish. When the asparagus is to be served cokl let it get ookl in tbe water in which it is boiled, and when quite cold take it from tbe water and stand It in the refrigerator far at least half an hour before serving.

FOR THE CHILDREN

Japanese Game*. The passion for toys and games of all kinds is remarkably developed among Japanese children, and they are encouraged to play games in much the same way that children of other countries are urged to learn. One of the most curious features about Japanese child life to that each season of the year has its own particular guinea. In fact the games are distributed, as it were, and apportioned to different months—battledoor and shuttlecock being played at certain seasons of tbe year, ball at another and so on. -Vs for the dolls, they have a special fete day devoted to them, and in Japan dails are os much a boy’s plaything as a girts. The dolto of the Japanese boys are generally dressed to represent historical heroes; others are attired as the emperor and empress, or os heroic.or legendary figures. Japanese children, too, on the “feast of dolls,” give their dolls presents nod put them on shelves or seats in the best room In the house. They also play at funny little cards, bat these, instead at being like English cards, each bear quotations representing tbe gems of Japanese poetical literature. The game consists of drawing a card with one half of the quotation and finding the other which bears its context There to also the “game of scents.” This oonstots in burning various perfumes and guessing the scent in question by the smell of the smoke it created—sometimes a very diffkml* matter, it to said.

Tbe Maxima School.

One player must be blindfolded to take the part of teacher. The rest of the party compose the class and sit in a tine facing her. She then informs her class that they will begin the lesson by singing tbe scales. The head girl, or the one at tike end of the line, immediately sings “Ah," and the next “Ah,” a little higher or lower, just as she chooses, and so it goes all the way down the line, each singing a note in any way that she may wish. The teacher must listen attentively, and any time she thinks she recognizes a voice she stops the class and calls the singer by name. If she guesses correctly She changes places with the pupil, who in turn becomes teacher; but if not she must keep ,on guessing. Every time a new teacher is selected tbe whole class most change seats, so that the voices may not be recognized by tbe direction from which they come. A little variety may be introduced into the game by singing a well known song instead of scales, each pupil singing the word which comes to her to supply. It is the privilege of each teacher to direct her class to sing whatever she may choose, either song or exercise.

Elephants are among the cleverest performing animate and after a little training can be made to understand commands given in three different languages. That seems wonderful, doesn’t it? They are very musical In their tastes, to Judge by their trumpeting at all events, and yet an elephant has been known to act as the leader of a band, marking time perfectly with his baton, while another elephant placed the big drum. One of these big animals now being shown in London drives a motor car, wearing a regular motorist's cap and pair of goggle*. He maneges the steering gear with his trank and the brake with bis right foot, and be doesn’t seem to have a btt of trouble with the big machine, which is, of oourse, specially constructed so that he has a seat in the hack. In fact, he uses more discretion to running his than do some human beings.
