There has been it remarkable fall- ing off in emigration from Greae Britain to ehe Australian colonies during the pre -sent year, according th the steamship companies eon- cerned in this traffic. It is put down to the present high level of wage -s, and the continued trade boom which givm men employment in England. Despite this, however, Canada continues to get a very large number of emigrants from England and Scotland, to there &re probably other eauses for the de- crease in the Australien figimes. This loes in traffic has been felt rather seriouely by the seeamship lines running to the South Seas. Lase year thee was a tremendous demand for passages to Australia and New Zealand, and to meet this trade the stesinship companies in- creased the accommodations on each vessel and also pig on new steamers.

Gras stains May heremoved by . soaking thee( in alcohol, kerosene or molasses. Keep a few pieces of, charcoal in the refrigerator. They will absorb the odors -of food. ' If acioth 'is dampened with strong. tea, it -will serve- as an excellent cleanser of varnished paint. . A bit of left -over fish, especially salmon or halibut, will make a deli- cious foreemeat for stuffing peppers or tomatoes. Silver that had ,been stained with egg is quickly cleaned by rubbing with clamp salt or with a cloth dampened with ammonia. It is Well to wash an embroidered pongeein gasoline. While the water might not injure the pongee, '; it might the embroidery. • Occasionally iodine stains get on bedding or linen. If the spots are covered with ammonia 'or alcohol ancl washed the stain will disap- pear. Should grease be spilled on mat- ting apply at once a thin paste of fuller's earth. As soon as it dries, cover with a paper and do not re- move for twe or three days. Do not throw away any cheese, no matter how small may be the piece. Grath it or run it through the food chopper and use it for seasoning the French dress- ing served with a vegetable salad.

A -woman who is quite famous for the lovely ferns she always has about her home said recently that she took great care of them, because it gave her pleasure to see them flourish and wax strong and vigoeous. One little thing she does is rather a new idea to most of ut, yet one can see how it would affect the goad shape of a fern very much. As each new sproet appears she tnrns it teward the light until ibis well up and begins to bend in the right direction. 333, the time one is beed- ing properly it is another's turn to he trained in the same way, and -the 'result is a beautiful ruund plant. 11,.
