Some owners of furs place them with cold - storage firms in our cities during the summer season, since the pest cannot work in a temperature be- low forty degrees Fah.

Household hints. In cleaning raisins, place them in a clean cloth, sprinkle with flour, and shako well. You will find that this will clean them, and at the same time will remove all the stalks. Never keep paraffin in an uncov- ered receptacle. It gathers dust. A tin box with a tight -fitting cover is hest for the purpose. When milk, soup or other foods boil over on the stove, cover the spot quickly with salt. It will do away with any unpleasant odor. Black chip hats that have a gray appearance may be made to look almost new by wiping with a few drops of sweet oil. Stewed rhubarb has a well-known medical value; besides being a com- plexion beautifier it is said to be valuable for rheumatic troubles. When using vinegar to remove paint stains from white goods, have it, as well as the cloth with which it is rubbed on, as hot as possible. A little muriatic acid added to the rinsing water after a blue -and - white fibre is scrubbed with soap and water will help restore the color. Peaches are good baked. Take out the stone, fill the cavity with sugar, chopped nuts and raisins, and bake in the same way as an apple. . Castile soap should be bought in quantities, and put away on the shelf to ripen. It may grow dark, but the older it gets the better it will be. Oil of cinnamon is dropped on a wart two or three times a day to remove it without soreness. In ironing any garment with but- tons, if the article is turned wrong side out and the buttons laid face down on •a Turkish towel, folded in throe oe.four tbiekneeses1 the but- tons will sink into the towel and the iron will pass over them easily. 1• WORK 25 DAYS A.

TOWNSHIPS BEHIND ROADS SPEND YEARLY LARGE SUM IN M10NEY AND LABOR. t. Highway Engineer Says Statute La- bor System isnot Good For Better Highways. The filet that county after county in Ontario has taken up the task of mapping out and constructing, with provincial aid, a county system of roads and the fact that the Govern- ments of both Province and Domin- ion have before them proposals for extensive road work, should not overshadow the other fact that even with the - most extensive govern- mental operations there must of ne- cessity still remain the greater pro- portion of the mileage of the coun- try for local improvement. The in- creased facilities for communica- tion along the leading routes will stimulate a desire to have the roads leading in also kept in better condi- tion, and the roads that will be re- quired will be of a kind better than those which the present system of management can produce. That In placing responsibility on him this problem of the local adminis- for results, he must be given eerre- trntion of roads is not a small one spending authority, especially in is seen from the fact that the town- the matter of hiring or discharging ships are now spending annually men and teams. The council should about $1,400,000 in cash and 1,100,- decide the work to be done, but the 000 clays of statute labor on their doing of the work should be in his roads and bridges.

In carrying out the system as out- lined, it is apparent that success must largely depend on, the choice of a man•for foreman or overseer, That is true in any business. If an inefficient man is selected and there is a complete failure the first year, it does not mean that statute labor should'be retained -but merely that the council should appoint a better foreman. At the same time, too, much must not be expected of an inexperienced foreman for the first year. Foreman Must be Responsible. THE SONNY SCHOOL [ESN] INTE.JINA'1'.10N AM.

The reason is not far to seek. We do not get sufficient sleep. Eight - hears is generally regarded as the utmost necessary for our health; yet even this meagre portion is of- ten, through the necessities of work, cut down to seven hours, which re- duces our annual period of rest by an average clerk's summer holiday. One hour a, day for 365 days equals just over a fortnight. This is why we are not able to watch the sun rise in summer with- out paying dearly for it in yawns later on. And this also is why, in order to get even with Nature, we have to resort to doctors' medieisies, special physical cxereises, and dogged "smile cures." Alt very well in their way, certainly, but all quite unnecessary. "Once a weak," a health expert recently declared, "every man should spend twenty-four consecu- tive hours in bed." Whether we agree with this state- ment or not, it is evident that we were never intended or built to live such strenuous existences as the average individuals live to-day.We have only to glance around at the examples which many animals set . us to see how very far away from original Nature our civilization is leading. A marmot sleeps for a whole month at a time, without having to worry about losing its berth or place in the world when it wakes up again 1 The grizzly bear practically snores through an entire winter, be- cause he knows that while he can keep his health and strengthhe can always obtain his food when he re- quires it. In the same way, the caterpillar takes a long beauty sleep in its chrysalis, during the period of its life which corresponds, more or less, to the cramming schooldays of the human boy. What would the human being be called by his associates if he allow- ed himself to relax to this extent 1 The writer does not suggest that, from this day onward, you should endeavor to emulate the marmot or the bear or the caterpillar. But if your condition in life allows you to tack on to your usual allowance an extra seven or fourteen hours of sleep per week -than is to say, a fortnight to a month a year -better health is nearly bound to follow.
