If a shirt -front or any other article has been scorched in ironing, lay it where the bright sunshine will fall di- rectly on it, and the brown spot will disappear. To take the color entirely out of a cotton dress after it has become some- what faded, boil the dress in cream of tartar water. .A. perfectly white dress results. To clean lamp -glasses hold them over a jug of boiling water until well steam- ed, then polish with a dry duster. It is far less trouble than washing, and the glasses very rarely break. In giving medicine in liquid form to a baby, place the point of the spoon containing the medicine against the roof of the mouth. Administered in this way it will be impossible for the child to choke or effect the medicine. It is a good plan to sprinkle sawdust evenly on the boards before laying down oilcloth. The sawdust makes a soft foundation for the oilcloth to lie on, and it prolongs its wear. For a damp floor it is specially recommended. To remove cocoa stains from table- cloths and serviettes, wash in cold wa- ter first; and then boiling water should be poured through until the last vestige of the stain is gene. For spots made by coffee or tea, boiling water poured through will prove efficacious. When the linoleum or floorcloth has been washed and thoroughly dried, make a little starch in a pint basin with boiling water and rub lightly over with a clean cloth. It will dry very brightly, n ithout any further rubbing or polishing, and has the advantage of being glossy without being slippery.

Pelletier, the Postmaster - General, who dismissed the postmaster at Tracadie Road, N. B , when the said postmaster had been dead for five years. Hon. F. D. Monk, Minister of Public Works, has gone Mr. Pelletier one bet- ter. The other day he sent a letter to L. P. Carignan, a forest ranger at Champlain, Que., dismissing him from the service on grounds of political par- tisanship, and instructing him to hand over the keys of his office to Mr. Adolph Charretier, of the same place. When Mr. Carignan tried to locate his successor he found he had been dead for two years, and he wrote back to the Minister notifying him of the fact, and at the same time demanding an investigation under oath. He has not yet received his reply from the Minister and is now wonder- ing what to do with the keys of his office. His friends are advising him to take the keys out to the cemetery and leave them on the tomb of his success - Stay With Ontario. Much is being said and written about the decrease in population in rural parts of Ontario, and the lure of the West. A recent issue of the London Free Press referring to it says:—"On- tario has no need for alarm or fear. This province will be a garden when the West is a treeless plain. Our peo- ple will experience and enjoy in all their freshness the produce of the farm, the dairy, the orchard, the vineyard and the garden when the West is still eat- ing its vegetables from cans, and puz- zling through the summer long whether the hail or the frost will come in a night to wipe out the work of a year. Dis- tant pastures long ago contracted the habit of looking green, and Ontario has felt the lure of free farms and the boom stories of big crops in the West. But the mosquito and the black fly, and the perpetual blowing of the wind over the sun -dazzled flat earth still are coup- led to the inevitable hardships of pioneer life in the West. We rejoice that the West thinks so well under the circum- stances of itself. Ought we, who are so highly favored to think less lightly of the natural favors that surround us and that inevitably ensure Ontario's future?"

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be des- troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the muc- ous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

All went smoothly un- til the lawyer asked him his wife's name. "Oh, yes, of course. My wife's name. Very necessary, to be sure," said the farmer. It was plain to be seen that he was not prepared to answer. The blood rushed to his face, he looked troubled, and finally turned his back and looked out of the window. "What do you think of that!" he ex- claimed, as he turned slowly round. "I simply cannot remember her name. You see, they used to call her Pot when she was a girl at home, and that was her name with me until two years after our marriage, when I began calling her 'mother.' I could not tell you her name if it were a capital offense not to do so. S'pose it would do to call her Pet in the deed?" It would not do; so he hurried away and in an hour came back with his wife's full name written on a slip of paper.

The need of municipal abattoirs and inspection of meats is emphasized by the last report of Dr. Robert Barnes, chief of the meat inspection division of the Department of Agriculture, Otta- wa. Over two million carcases were passed by Dominion Government in- spectors. while 8,805 carcases were con- demned, and 295,025 portions of swine were condemned as suffering from tuberculosis. There were 272,730 pounds o£ meat condemned as being "sour." There were 20,010 portions of cattle condemned as suffering from "para- sites"; 28,186 portions of sheep con- demned as suffering from the same cause; 18,219 portions, of cattle con - donned as suffering from abscess; 12,- 108 portions of cattle condemned as suffering from tuberculosis. These eonditions, it will be remembered, were found in abattoirs of establishments doing an int( •-provincial or an export trade, and therefore undor the juris- diction and inspection of the Dominion Government. In slaughter hter houses g Where there was no inspection an equal- ly bad condition, presumably Worse, must have prevailed, and some of the cleat which wouldhave been condemned by a Dominion inspector has no doubt gone into consumption. A better sys- tem of municipal and Provincial in- spection is badly needed. " Cholera Infantum" THE SUMMER COMPLAINT OF INFANTS BEST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD.

CHASE'S CATARRH POWDER Cholera infantum begins with a pro- fuse diarrhoea, the stomach becomes irritated, and in many cases vomiting and purging set in. The child rapidly loses flesh, and is soon reduced to great langour and prostration. Cholera infantum can be quickly cured by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mrs. David A. Cleve- land, Apple River, N.S., writes:—"Last September my little boy, four years old, and little girl, two years old, were taken one afternoon with vomiting spells, and in a few hours they had cholera infantum. I had Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry in the house, and commenced using it. The choler' got so bad the next day, they passed nothing but blood. I kept on using the medicine, and in a few days they were cured. I always keep a bottle in the house, as I don't think there is anything better for summer complaint than Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw berry."

Fat, chemically speaking, is a com- bination of glycerine and certain fatty acids. It is furnished as a food by both the animal and the vegetable kingdom. When we say "animal fat" we mean such things as lard, suet, fat meat, etc.; when we say fat of animal origin we refer to cream, butter and eggs. Vegetable fats are found in nuts, grains and fruits. Certain nuts fur- nish an abundance, particularTy the pecan, cocoanut, Brazil, pine nut and peanut. Among grains, oats and corn contain the largest supply of fat. It is also found in three fruits—to a large extent in the olive, and a trace only in the banana and strawberry. There are three forms in which fat is used as a food - emulsified, free fat, fried fat. Emulsified fat is represented by cream, olive oil and nuts—fat blend- ed with other substances. Butter and other animal fats are free fats—here the tiny globules of fat, each surround- ed by a little film of casein, are crushed and united into a solid mass. The third forme -fried fat ---• is fat chemically changed by heat, which causes some irritating acids to be developed. THE: SAILOR CRAB, Goes to Sea on Long oy.-geson the Backs of Giant Turtles. Among the many curious crabs there is perhaps none more interesting than the sailor erab, a name applied to it because it goes to sea on long voy- ages, which it makes on the backs, of big green turtles and giant logger. heads. The sailor crab is a little fellow with a body thee -quarters of an inch or an inch in length, With its claws extended it might measure an inch and a half. It is a very pretty erab indeed, with color markings that are various; it may be found with a shell all yellow, or with a shell of dark colors with lighter shadings like thosa of finished tortoise shell; or it may have a mottled shell, or a spell whose coloring resembles that of veined marble. It seems all the prettier seen amid its rough surroundings on the big loggerhead's dingy brown shell." The big loggerhead, with a top shell five, six or seven feet in length, may afford a floating home for various other living things, Barnacles attach to it and marine vegetation that lodges on its back sticks there and thrives, Some day when the big turtle, with all this life on its back, swims into shallower waters to feed, or works its way through some floating mass of seaweed, one or two sailor crabs may come aboard, shipping thus for a long voy age. The sailor crab finds food among the meadows or forests of vegetation on its island, or in the scraps that come to it from the turtle's table. It might seem that the big loggerhead couldn't catch fish, but it is a great swimmer, and it will smash into a school of fish and snap up what it wants, and scraps from this float back to lodge on the turtle's back and there furnish food for the sailor. So the sailor crab at sea on the turtle's back is likely to get enough to eat, but it has to be always on the lookout not to be swept off the ship's deck in heavy weather, and so be lost in the ocean or devour- ed by some predatory monster of the deep.

The pianist engaged to play at a "smoker" which was held recently played by ear and was famed for his accompaniments to songs of all kinds. He maintained his reputa- tion until a young fellow was called upon to favor the company with a comic song. The would-be comedian had a very tuneless voice and, being nervous, forgot some of the words. The result was he . gave the first verse in three different keys, and when he broke down at the chorus he had the cheek to blame the pianist, saying: "You're putting me off. If you can't play better than that I'll sing without the piano." "You'll have to," replied the pian- ist sarcastically. "1 can't accompany a stump speech." Sewing Room Sayings. Dressmakers' superstitions are as numerous in the sewing room as the. pins and needles about which they circulate. Some of them sound as if they might have originated out: of the need of placating the powers,. that be in case of accident. For in- stance, if a new gown slips out of the operator's hands and falls to the floor "it is a sign" that the gown will be sold quickly.Still art other saw that carries placation on the face of it is the one that promises that if you spill a box of pins "it is a sign" that customers are coming. Riddle of the Sphinx. The sphinx—some sort of fabled monster—proposed a riddle to the peo- ple of Thebes, it is said, and murder- ed all who could not answer it.

The answer given by Oedipus was this: "Man, because he crawls as a child, walks upright in his full strength and walks with a staff when Jen old man."
