For Tan and Freckles.
The following is efficacious1 in. re
moving tan and freckles and is cooing
to' the skin: Tincture of benzoin, due
ounce; tincture of musk, two drams;
tmcture of ambergris, four drams; rec
tified spirits, five ounces; orange flower
water, one and one-quarter pints;
Another cream that is highly recom
mended to prevent and remove frec
kles, and discoloration, soften and
whiten the skin and prevent roughness
ls the .following: Pure honey, lour
ounces; glycerin, one ounce; rectified
spirits, one ounce; citric acid <pure),
three drams; essence of ambergris, six
drops. Mix: the honey and glycerin by
gentle .heat, add the acid and then the
essence of spirits. When th?^first mix
ture is cool put the two together and
agitate until well mingled. These mix
tures are good for the hands aB well
as the face.

Hanging Pictures.
Xever hang pictures against'a back
ground of figured wall paper unless the
figures are small and indistinct If
the design is large and stands out it is
better to hang no pictures whatever
on the walls. Plain side walls make
the best background for pictures, espe
cially if the color is in one of the tints
of. gray or tan. Few pictures look well
If. hung high. Portraits especially
should be hung on a level with the
eyes. Do not hang in close proximity
water colors and oil paintings or paint
ings and. engravings. ' .
r
A Cooking Hint.
Fruit will retain its shape better If
in cooking four or five large marbles
are placed in the bottom of the vessel
before the fruit is put in it When 'the
contents begin to boll, the motion
cayuses the marbles to roll about and
keeps the fruit from burning. , This
marbles can be used quite as satisfac
torily in making jam and catchup as
in cooking fruit of any kind. . Some
persons use a silver dollar for. the same
purpose.
A Simple Door Check.
All that is required for a screen door
check to keep it_ from slamming is a
small rubber ball that can be purchased
for a few cents. A stout cord is at
tached sto the rubber ball and hung on
a nail^driiven into the door casing. It
8CREEN DOOK CHECK.
is hung at such a-point that only a
portion of the ball extends in the door
way, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows
; the. do?r/?;trikinff the ball and. Fig. 3
the ball ^wingtog- dear.-of the door
when the door is closed.
Value of Whole Cloves.
Sprinkled among furs and woolens
and;under carpets and .rugs, they will
be found effective if not superior to
the fil smelling moth preparations. And
if the housekeeper who superintends
the canning of her fruit will put a
quarter teaspoonful of whole cloves on
top of the thin cloth which many wise
ly place over the hot fruit before put
ting on the lid, she will not be annoyed
with the molding of her fruit
The Dinner Table.
The most elegant and attractive din
ner tables are seldom the most elab
orate ones. Linen which has the,gloss,
of good laundering, china and silver,
which shine from perfect care and a
few flowers or a Jardiniere of ferns in
the center make a more impressive
dinner table than the more elaborate
ones ornamented with lace "and rib
bons and expensive centerpieces.
Pillow For an Invalid.
To prevent bed sores and insure a
comfortable bed make a pillow that
will reach from shoulder to hips, not
ton wide, of some ^smooth material,
such as sateen, etc. Fill with whole
flaxseed. This will never lump or
get hot or be in. a,ny way uncomfort
able.
'. Split Hair.
A hair which is split at the end has
ceased to grow. All split hairs should
beV cut Off fbr several inches to make
them healthy. Singeing Is better than
cutting, but one must be experienced
before" attempting the latter method.
To Wash Cut Glass.
It Is necessary to have a soft brush
In order to keep the cracks and, crev
ices of cut glass perfectly clean. Wash
in hot water with soapsuds and am
monia, rinse in clear cold water and
wipe dry with a very 30ft cloth.
Household Hints.
If comforts and quilts are dried In a
good-stiff breeze they will be as light
and fluffy as when new.
Colored French handkerchiefs will
not fade If they are dipped in salt wa
ter before the usual washing.
Salts of ammonia mixed with lime
will take ont stains of wine from silks.
.Spirits of turpentine ls equally good
for the same purpose.
Gum arabic starch is obtained by pour
ing booing water over ?e gum arabic,
then diluting It to the right consisten
cy. It Is an excellent starch for pieces
that are starched to dry and must not
be ironed.
Your Patronage Solicited.
I desire to notify my friends and
the public' generally that I have
purchased the Barber Shop on the
corner from Mr. A. J. Davis and
will conduct a first-class shop at the
same place. I will have a skilled
