CLOGGING THE PIPES ASEtiSlBLE SERMON OK HOUSEHOLD SANITATION. Borne Suggestions Aboat tbe Plnmb infir and tbe Care That Should Be ^ Exercised In tbe Avoidance Both of Expense and Disease. Nowadays the plumber and his bill are your true household specters. Like other specters, careful common sense "Will pat them to rout and confusion nine times In ten. Wise men have been studying this subject ever so long to devise plumbing that would take care of itself, but they have not yet suc? ceeded. Neither are they likely to without a revolution in mechanics 'Whereby the tendency of fluids always to seek their own level may be elimi? nated and other things as wonderful brought to pass. 60 long as knowledge remains nearly static so long will it behoove every housemistress to look .well to the usage of her pipes and her jtraps. A bit of rag or even string, a burnt match, a wisp of hair, seems a very lit? tle thing, one that the pipes can carry off with no possible hurt but the rag, by hanging over the bend of the trap, may serve as a siphon to take away the water seal, which is all that stands be? tween the household and unlimited sewer gas. And the rag .may keep on doing lt for weeks and weeks until deadly disease is rampant A string snarled aid twisted may work the same UL The match end. of course, ought to float away harmless, but is very mach likelier to be caught in some eddy of the flush water, jam? med into a crevice and there to take to itself other solid particles until they ?onn a clot both offensive and danger? ous. As for hair, there is no end to the harm it harbors. A wisp quickly forms itself into a sort of strainer, catching and holding all that passes. Aside from that, it has a trick of lodging in the most inconvenient places, catching upon the least roughness inside the" pipe and staying there until by accre? tion It has clogged the whole space. Hair has special affinity for bits of soap. Solid soap, by the way. should never be sent down the pipes. Very strong soapsuds even is objectionable unless you follow it with a flood of ^clean water, preferably hot water. * Coffee grounds and tea leaves either dog a pipe very soon or else, if the Hush water prevents that wear it through quickly, partly by mechanical action, partly by chemical. Neither . should ever be permitted in a sink. Even if you are wise enough to keep ont all grease, and thus make sure that the grounds shall get safe away from your own pipes, in the sewer they may come in contact with grease from pipes less carefully kept and cake and clog your whole pipe system, making neces? sary costly and inconvenient unclog? ging. Every kitchen ought to have its grease can, emptied once a week in winter and in summer every three days. All sorts of refuse fat should go into it even the scrapings from plates and ?shes. Greasy water, as from boiling hams or corned beef, should: be allowed to cool thoroughly, then have the grease carefully taken off before it goes down the pipes. Skillets and frying pans ought to be filled with very hot soda water and let stand half an hour before washing. This gives time for the soda to partly saponify the grease and keep it from sticking to the pipe or caking on top of the trap. In scouring faucets be careful to keep the scouring grit out of the joints. Sven the finest particles cut away screw threads turning macy times a day. After scouring also t?-ke care to let the water run at least a minute be? fore catching any for use. In wash ing sandy vegetables, as spinach, tur? nips, potatoes, use a big pan and drain off the dirty water, so the sand may be caught Even a spoonful of sand go? ing down a pipe will cut and wear it ?more than a hogshead of water. Milky water is one of the hardest things to manage. Even a small quan? tity daily fouls pipes unless, the milky ?water ts followed by a flushing of soda ?water moderately strong, with a lime water flush about every three days, The ll me water is made more effective tij adding salt to it. Sea salt is best. Pot a lump as big as the fist in an earthen or wooden vessel along with twice the bulk of quicklime and cover with four gallons of hot water. Stir well and let settle. Pour the clear liquid down the pipes and follow it in half an hour with a flush of clear wa? ter boiling hot Thus every kind of a sink may be kept sweet and fresh. New York Sun. How He Saved Hin Dinner. In the little town of Arundel there is a taxidermist who is gifted with won? derful presence cf mind. Here is an Instance: Some time ago a gentleman called at j his shop with a cock pheasant which j he desired to have skinned, stating at ! the same time that he did not require ; the body. This quite suited the taxi- . dermist who thought the pheasant j would do for his dinner on the morrow. However, later in the day the gentle? man called again and said that he would take the body away. The tax? idermist replied that it was unusual for customers to take the bodies away, but that he had no objection, and he fetched the bird, which his wife bad put on a plate and covered with flour. ? "Ahf exclaimed the gentleman. "It I looks very nice. But what is this white j powder with which it Is covered?' "Ob, that" replied the taxidermist j quietly, "is arsenic. I always cover tbe bodies with that until I can dis? pose of them." ""Ar-arsenJcr* stammered the gentle? man. "Why. I thought that the bird .would be good to eat Thank you, I sron't trouble to take lt away with me. 45ood day." The taxidermist bad saved his din ser.-London Answers. Pretty Children " We have three children. Before the birth of the last one my wife used four bot? tles of MOTHER'S FRIEND. If you had the pictures of cur children, yon could see at a glance that the Issi one is healthiest, prettiest and finest-looking: of them all. My wife thinks Mother's Friend is the greatest and grandest remedy in the world for expect? ant mothers."

A. ^ood-natured mother is pretty sure to have a good-natured child. The patient Is kept in a strong:, healthy condition, which the child also inherits.
