THE SPRING CLEANING.
Do not begin the spring cleaning
too early in the year, for bad weather
may come again and bring mud and
furnace dust in its train. But when
you have finally begun the under-
taking try to make it something more
than a mere refurbishing. A new ar-
rangement of the furniture or the pic-
tures, a new color note introduced into
the rooms, will have a cheering effect
on every member of the family.
Do not try to begin the house-
cleaning before nine o'clock in the
morning. You must first prepare for
the meals and finish the routine work
of the day. Then you will start the
extra work at nine o'clock with the
feeling that you have made an excel-
lent beginning and have a compara-
tively free day before you.
Let the children take their lunch-
eons to school and put up a luncheon
for yourself at the sante tine. Take
your box out of doors at noon time
and take an hour off to eat and rest.

The worst of house-cleaning can be
done before the family realizes that it
is going on. By cleaning out bureau
drawers and closets first you will ac-
complish at the outset the more ted-
ious work, and you will also prepare
receptacles for articles in the room,
where they can be kept after they
have been cleaned until the whole room
is finished. When the heavy work is
done it is a small matter to put then
back into place. But if the small.
things are laid aside dirty, cleaning
them after doing the heavy work al-
ways seems like a serious task.
The following things will help to
make house-cleaning easy: laundry
soap, soap powder, scouring soa
chlorides, ammonia, kerosene, gasoline,
turpentine, floor wax, furniture polish,
old stockings, percale, flannel and
tissue paper for cleaning and polish-
ing; a dish mop for cleaning bed
springs, a carpet beater, brooms and
brushes, a step ladder, hammer, tacks,
mop, sal soda, whiting, and last,
though most useful of all, a vacuum
cleaner.
A little blowgun and insect powder
are a great help when cleaning closets
and cupboards. With the gun the
powder can be forced into cracks and
crevices where insects are likely to
lodge. Clean each closet well, apply
the powder and then, if there is any
sign of moths, substitute gasoline for
the powder and force that into cracks
with the blowgun. Pour more gasoline
on the shelves and round the base-
boards, then close the closet for twelve
hours at least. Of course, there must
be no open flame about when the gaso-
line is used.
If the room seems thick with dust,
do not wait until spring to give it a
thorough cleaning. Make little re-
pairs too from time to time, so that
the annual task will not seem so
burdensome.
Never relax your efforts to "weed
out" the accumulation of small things.
Lay them aside in two groups as you
come across them in the course of
cleaning. Those in one group can go
to the charitable organizations where
they will do the most good; the others
can be sold. Advertise the best of the
articles and sell as many as you can;
then dispose of the things' that are
left to the junk man.
A good cleaning fluid is made by
bringing two quarts of water to .a boil
and dissolving in it two ounces of a
good white soap cut into shavings.
Remove it from the fire, add two
tablespoonfuls of ammonia and bottle
it. If tightly corked it will keep for
some time. When you need to use the
fluid saturate a cloth with it and wash
the woodwork; then wipe the wood-
work with another cloth wrung out in
clean warm water. •
Two large sponges are a great help
in house-cleaning time. For washing
paint quickly have two basins of
water: one with clear, warns water
for rinsing and the other with warm
suds made with a good white soap and
a little ammonia. Dip a sponge into
the suds, wash of;' all the dirt, rinse
the work with the other spongewrung
nearly dry from the clear water and
wipe it dry. Change the suds fre-
quently and the work will progeess
very fast. A sponge gets into cre-
vices and does more even work than
a cloth.
Clean your rugs with the help of
some bed springs. Take the springs
out into the yard, spread the rug on
thein and beat it with a wire carpet
beater. The dirt and dust fall out into
the grass and cling to therug less
than they do when the rug lies flat
on the ground. Rugs that can be held
up from the ground in that way can
be beautifully cleaned by flooding
water over themwith the garden hose
after the dirt and dust have been
beaten out.. Use warni suds with a
little ammonia in it for obstinate.
grease spots, rinse with the hose and.
dry the rugs in the shade or, better
still, allow them to dry overnight.
To take carpets, rugs, bedding and
mattresses out of doors roll them up
and fasten the roll with a trunk strap.

A Liner's Safety Chain.
The terrible effects wlrich might re-
sult from carelessness in a black-
smith's work are well illustrated by the
great importance of every link in the
chain of a ship's anchor.
The anchor chains of the Lusitania
were 330 fathoms long—nearly 2,000ft.
—with a weight of 125 tons! Every
link has to be carefully welded at the
proper temperature. Such work re-
quires infinite care, for in no case is
the saying truer that the chain Is only
es strong as the weakest link. On
every single link in such a chain the
safety of a giant vessel and the lives
of perhaps 2,000 people may depend.
The earliest blacksmith's forges
known were holes in the sides of hills,
called boomeries. The Romans invent-

nvented. the first bellows about the year 350,
using a bladder of goat skin.
Nowadays enormous ingots of steel
are heated in furnaces, and the hy-
draulic forging press is taking the
place of the blacksmith's hammer and
anvil. The hammer wielded by the
strong arm of the village smithy be-
comes, instead, a hammer equal in
weight to one of thousands of tons!
