To wash painted plaster walls, add two parts warm water, one part milk. soaping cloth as usual. After cleansing rinse with clear water and dry quickly. A flannel cloth dipped in camphorated oil will remove w'tite blister spots from a polished table that come from over- heated dishes, unless spots have eaten in too deep. If yop wish to bathe a pet kitten, wash it with tar soap; rinse this out with a little pennyroyal oil and warm and the kitten will always be free from fleas. To secure a shining result, wine off the range with vinegar before polishing with blacking. Stains may be removed from table linen by pouring boiling water through them. Stretch the stain over a bowl tightly, then pour over the water. This should always be done before soap is used. Highly polished floors may be kept loi,king nice by going over them daily with a cloth rung out of very cold water and polishing them with a waxed cloth once a week. Fresh ink stains may be taken out by soaking in sweet milk, and stale ink stains by soaking in very strong salt water, then rubbing with lemon juice and exposing to the sun's rays. To restore natural color to ivory knife handles, rub them with a little turpentine. A. pinch of baking soda beaten to a foam in either molasses or honey will cut the phlegm in a baby's throat when suffering with whooping cough.

Just this : That you, as representing the average Canadian citizen, can square off your account with our army of factory workers, by making sure that at least 55 cents worth of the things you buy, in your ordinary every day shopping, aremade right here in Canada. -.the country that gives you your own living. That sum, 55 cents a day, equals $200 per year. There are 5,000,000 people in • Can- ada. If for the support of every one of them, there was spent $200 a year on Canadian made goods it would give us a factory output of $1,600,000,000. Back in 1910-11, Canada was enjoying. pretty good times, but the total factory output then was less than $1,200,000,000. You can easily bury the hard times of to- morrow under the coppers you spend on odds and ends to-endto-day, just by using a little, intelligent discrimination, by saying to the' shopkeeper— "Nothing but ` Made in Cana- da' for Mine." The Colorado River. The Colorado river was named by the Spaniards from a word in their language, meaning ruddy or red, an allusion to the tint of the water.

Expressions Used Here Have a Differ- ent Meaning Over There. If a man meets another man is Pic- cadilly and says, "Jack is pulling ydur leg," he means quite a different thing from what a man meeting another man on Broadway would mean. In London he means that Jack is telling his friend some sort of marvelous stories that are not true, but are designed to deceive not for the purpose of profit but for the purpose of matting the man appear ri- diculous. An Amerioan attempting to express the same thought would say': "Jack is kidding you." ' On the Ameri- can side of the Atlantic, leg pulling means to exchange a counterfeit fairy tale for some real money. In the United States, to call a man a "nut" is to imply that he is afflicted with wheels in his cranium, bats in his belfry, or, in other words, to imply that fere is nobody home upstairs. In this. land of the free and home of the brave a "nut" is a lunatic. Not so in Britain. Over there to call a man a "nut," especially if he be a young man, is very likely to be a high compliment, for an English "nut" is a young gentleman who knows what the latest styles in dress are and wears them, who knows the latest steps in the dance and dances them and 'who Is in every respect an all around, up to date sport. If such a "nut" owns a racing motorcar or perhaps has his own aeroplane he is automatically pro- moted to be a "super nut." "Nut" in Britain has completely taken the place one finds in, old English books represented by' such words as "dandy," "buck" and "beau," a word that we Americans formerly rendered "dude." -Boston Herald. Vampire Bats. Fairly targe bats inc the vampires of New Guinea, which alight on any pro- jecting part of the body, in prefer- ence the toes, into which they bite a small hole, from which they proceed to suCk the blood. They fan the wound with their wings—to deaden the pain, the natives say—and the victim seldom awakens before much harm is done. These horrible creatures suck as much blood as they can, fly away and dis- gorge it and then return for more. Her System. "It takes my wife so long to dress when we want to go to the city that we always miss the train." complained the first suburbanite. "How is your wife? I don't hear you kick much." "My wife has a system that isn't so bad," said the second suburbanite. "She's so late for one train that she's generally on time for the next."—Pitts- burgh Post. Appreciation. "I gave Cbnrley a beautiful new alarm clock for a birthday present" said young Mrs. Torltins. "Did he appreciate it?"

If the bowels do not move regularly they will, sooner or later, become con- stipated, onstipated, and constipation is productive of more ill health than almost any other trouble. The sole cause of constipation is an inactive liver, and unless the liver is kept active you may rest assured that headaches, jaundice, heartburn, piles, floating specks before the eyes, a feeling as if you were going to faint, or catarrh of the stomach will follow the wrong action of this, one of the most important organs of the body. Keep the liver active and working properly by the use of Milburn's taxa - Liver Pills, Mrs. Elijah A. Ayer, Fawcett Hill, N.B., writes: "I was troubled with constipation for many years, and about three years ago my husband wanted me to try Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, as they had cured him.

QUEER Those in Use Among Some of the Bar- baric Tribes of India. The inhabitants of the Lushai rills,, like other barbaric aud.savuge peoples, have standards of weight and measure that they find simple and intelligible, but that are very confusing to the stranger who encounters them for the first time. In his book on the Lushai- Kuki chins Lieutenant Colonel J. Shakespear tells abort their units of measure. In every village there is a small fiat basket, the size ()I' which is fixed by the chief, which is used for all retail dealings in rice nod the like, but they pleasure large quantities in loads, a load being about fifty pounds. After the harvest the uuhushcd rice is piled - in a conical heap. A Lesliei will tell you his crop is chip sawn, meaning that the heap is level with the top of his head, or silai zawn. when it is level with the end of the gun held up per- pendicularly over his head. That is - about the record crop; lesser quantities are denoted by tile height of his hand' or hoe or ax held up. He measures time .by the cooking of a pot of rice— about au hour—or by the time he can hold a sip of nocotine in his mouth. ffe bus names for each period of the day, denoting his usual occupation at that hour; he also divides the year ac-. cording to the agricultural occupation proper to the different seasons. Short distances are measured by, parts of the human body, as we speak of a span; but the Lushai has sixteen or seventeen of these, extending from clang khat—that is, the distance from the tip to the first joint of the first fin- ger—to Wam, which is the distance A- man can stretch with both arms ex- tended. Longer distances the Lushai describes by such terms as the dis- tance of the nearest jhum, the distance of the farthest jhum, the distance a mithan will wander during the day, the distance a man can travel before - his midday meal, terms that perplex strangers, although they are well un- derstood by the peopld. There are few measures of weight. One is chuai—as much as a man can support hung from the tip of the first finger, palm downward. Many of the stars and constellations have names; most of them have some story attach- ed to them. The months are lunar months and some have names, but these are not widely known or used, Good Baitl Cry Mother—You say your husband Children C r Y has 'been cruel to you.
