Every housewife knows that air risea
but ,bow litany of them reinember it
and lower the temperature in the brat
and aecond stories of their houses dixr-
lag the summer by systematically
keeping the attie door and windows
open whenever practicable? Don't stay
in such a rut of thoughtlessness any
longer. When house cleaning, taelt
moseuito nettirzg. over' the attic) win-
clow4 to Shut out; flies, and so be ready
to add another hot -weather comfort to
your list.
Pilatting is a wholesome and, caxol
looking floor coverings for bedrooms
in hot Weather, but only the better
grades are durable, and. even these
soon break if a bedstead it. daily drawn
over there..
A great deal is said in praise of
highly decorative wall papers, especial-
ly those having floral designs for bed-
rooms. Some of them are deserving,
are beautiful in every way; but for
a person of quiet tastes nine -tenths of
them would make a room intolerable
by their glaring and incongruous com-
binations of colors. The decorations
for the walls of a bedroom should al-
ways be.in light, delicate colors, bat
in order to make the effect of the
room as a whole quiet and restful, the
colors must be soft and harmonious, or
in pleasing accord, and the patter/1 un-
obtrusive.
Scotch -Holland window -shades cost
more at first than unglazed. domestic
ones, but they are safer, and. cheaper
in the end too, because they can be
cleaned again and again with a damp
cloth.
The decnrative possibilities of half-
length sash -curtains are small but
when made of inconspicuous material
they are not in the least obtrusive, and
from a practical standpoint, they are
-unequaled. Small" metal rods, with
socket ends, now cost but a trifle. Do
not waste your time and patience by
shirring themover tape.
Hanging carpets over a line and then
beating hard to remove the dust will
shorten their lives =re than a month
of ordinary wear --and the same • is
true of rugs, or of taking hold of one
end and -whipping theta. Do not stay
in this rut either. Lay them on the
ground, wrong 'side upward at first,
and beat and sweep thoroughly on
both sides. Borax is leas likely to
fade carpets than ammonia, and will
freshen the eolors equally well. 'Else
in the propOrtion of one heaping tea-
spoonful to a gallon of hot water.
Ingrain filling, plain carpet, makes
a charming background for rugs but
it shows dust and litter as quickly as
a polished floor.
Borax is also unequaled for washing
lace curtains. Very much of the
strain which ordinarily conies on long
lace curtains in washing can be avoid-
ed by doubling each curtain at the
middle lengthwise and tying a strip
of old muslin loosely around it at two
points between the fold and the ends,
Soak fifteen minutes at a time in
warm water, to which borax has been
added in the proportion named above ;
squeeze and press down with the
hands, and in raising always take hold
of the mtislin tie -string, and wring
gently through a wringer. Repeat
this as many times as necessary, and
do not remove the ties, until you are
ready to, pin the curtains out. Never
shake oat a lace curtain when wet,
for it is sure to make havoc with the
finer Meshes,
If white of the windows in a room
get more direct sunlight than others,
be sure to mark the ones that were
at the sunniest window; and change
their position when rehanging. Mad-
ras, crepe or other curtains that are
bordered alike on each edge, or cur-
tains without any border, can have
their days lengthened by changing
from one side of a window to the oth-
er, as the sun does fie mischief near
the inner edge.
In wall paper, as in every other fea-
ture of house furnislaing, taste and
discretion in choosing are far more de-
aireble than any eertain style. In
fact no other color or pattern can be
said to be fashionable to the exclusion
of any other. If the ceiling of a roani
is high,, and you admire a deep frieze,
have one by all means, but if you have
oee with a low ceiling for the game
reason, however beautiful or stylish it
may be in itself, you do less well than
the woman who uses a narrow border,
or none at all, but carries the side
wall paper to the ceiling, covers the
joining with a narrow wood cornice
and puts it picture molding 10 or 12
inches belowit; or else omits the
angle molding and puts the picture -
rail just fax enough befow the ceiling
to admit a hook.
A really beautiful rag carpet in the
dining-toom of a colonial house is
made in the hit-or-miss style, but
there is no "miss" en the combination
of colors; every least piece extietly
"hits" the others and makes a perfect
foundation for the other furnishings,
The prevailing color in the room and
oarpet is soft blue, ranging in tone
from that et faded 'denim to deep
navy-blue. In the carpet those were
eoMbined with dull yellows that go
from cream up through old gold to
golder brown, with an occastonal

COST OF PERFUMERY.
To ptoduce the yearly output of per-
fumery in the Department of Sea, Alps,
in France, the Revue*Statistique says,
requires 4,000,000 pounds, of roses 5,-
000,000 pounds orange blossoms, 400,000
pounds jasmine, 300,000 pounds cassia
blossoms, 800,000 pounds tube roses and
400,000 pounds violets. The average
price paid for these blossoms per pound
is :-Rosetit, six cents; orange blossom,
seven. cents; jasmine, twenty-five
cents ; tube roses fifty cents ; and vio-
lets and teassia blossoms, forty cents.
One plant of violets furnishes about
six ounces of -blossoms and an orange
tree about twenty pounds.
A woman can gather forty pounds
of roses itt four hours, or 'six pounds
of jasmine in the same time. She can
pick twelve pound of tube rosier in
a third of a day,. but it takes a full
clayer work to gather twenty pchinds of
violets or orange blossoms.
To obtain one pound of essence re-
quires: 01! roses, 32,000 pounds; or
nearly 5,00111,000 eine° blossoms; 2,000
pounds of orange blossoms, or 1,200,000
single flowers. Each year's output of
this district amounts to 1,000,000 pounds
of pomades or cosmetics and 1,000,000
gallons it odorous fluids.

NEW HOME FEED.
The German Governmept ,is making
an experiment in the feeding of artil-
lery horses by dieting them dn a patent
food. This is coniposed of fresh blood
from the slaughter houses, mixed with
sugar refuse and the screenings of bar-
ley, wheat and. the like. It is claimed
that the albumen in the blood, aided by
the other two ingredients, makes the
new forage very strengthening. As
the new production is comparatively
cheap, the cOst: of maintenance will be
sensibly detreased.

IRE GARDEN,
It is essential that the soil of the

growth is to be maintained.
