HO* TO SWEEP AND DUST.
There should be just as much method
tin housework as in anything else, espe-
cially if the wife must do without help,
and if method Is employed, it will great-
ly facilitate the labor.
The sweeping and dusting of the
house form no small item of the work
and should be so arranged as to pro-
duce the desired result with the least
amouint of work possible.
The tidy housewife always desires to
present a neat appearance even though
she be sweeping and dusting, anti hence,
will provide herself with dust -cap, a
pair elf gloves, a loose jacket and a
large apron; then should anyone chance
too call, i!t is only the work of a few
seconds to make herself presentable to
recevve 'them.
It ,is a Ig'dod plan to have covers made
for all large pieces of furniture that
are ,not easily removed. Thoroughly
sweepiu'g and dusting a house once a
week is usually sufficient, and for
the roAt bmf the time a carpet -sweeper
is just'the thing top use as it takes up
all the litter and does not create a
dust.
The first thing to do on sweeping day
is to cairefdly dust all articles of fur-
niture that can be moved and rol l them
out Intoan adjoining room or hall.
R;aii 6 the windows; shake the curtains
well and pin them; 4 out of the way;
sweep the ceiling and brush down the
walls, then sprinkle the carpet with
salt. earn meal or tea, leaves and you
are ready for the broom.
Begin to sweep in the corner farthest
from the door and sweep from each side
toward the door, then instead of
sweeping the dirt out into the hall,
gather it into the dust pan and pt''o-
ceed Ito sweep the next room.
,By the time yolui are through sweep-
ing the last room, the dust will have
(settled in the first one, and you can
begin dusting. A damp cloth is best
to use for this, .as It will take up the
dost and not scatter it back over the
fuirniture.
hake the curtains again, wipe off
the windows and window sills, dust
the back3 of pictures andthe base-
boardsall round. Do not • forget to
shake your dust rag out the window
every few seconds. Remove the covers
from the furniture, very carefully and
take them out doors at once. Wheel
the furniture back in place, wipe off
the books and fancy articles, replace
the tidies and rugs and behold a room
fresh, clean and sweet,
HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS
A fine orange cake is obtainable by
taking two cupfuls of sugar, one-half
cupful of butter stirred to a cream„
one cupful sweet milk, three eggs well
beaten,, three cupfuls of flour, and two
teaspoonfuls of barring powder. Forthe
frosting employ the whites of two
eggs, saving owt just enough to frost
the top, th13 rest of wilich should he
added to tI* juice and grated rind of
a,n orange and spread between the
layers. '

water In it, and in a few hours it will

capacity for absorbing these, gases,
Do you 'know how to make beef tea?
Well, this is a good wa,y in which to
proceed; Cut into small pieces two
pounds' weight of fresh lean beef; add
three plats of said water, and when
on the eve of boiling, earefully remove
the scum; and the moment it does )roll
add another pint of water, whereupon
Leet it boil up again and remove the
ecugn as before. If by this time it is
not perfectly clear, the same quantity
of water should be added a third time,
which will, cause more scum to rise.
The fact to, this Is applicable to all
kinds of broths and gravies, and if
only properly carried out will render
them transparent and finely flavored,
In regard to beef tea, however, it should
be allowed to simmer not less than
three-quarters of an hour, and never
more than one hour from the time it
is last skimmed. , 11
SELECTING KID GLOVES.
In sele.oting a kid glove for wear
choose a fine, but not too thin, kid. Ex-
amine the inside of a glove. It is im-
portant that the glove lie dyed on the
outside only. Wherever the color of
the dye has struck through the leather
there the glove will be found tender,
says a writer. This is because the
strength of the dye necessary to col-
or leather is always strong enough to
mkike it tender, if it strikes through
it to t`he insi&. •Sometimes the leather
-will only show the color at the seam
on the inside. Such a glove will putt
our6 at this seam. It is wise to select
a glove of neutral dark tint. Black
gloves as a rule dry not wear as well
as dark colors. Browns wear well; so
do dark grays and the pretty putty
and ecru tints nuw, so fashionable.
1'n mending a glove, avoid using silk
except to darn clown a piece of dress
silk the•color of the glove on the in-
side of the glove to hold a rent togeth-
er. In this case, dturn the parts to-
gether with invisible stitches on the
outside. Always sew over ripper)
seams with cotton the color of the
thread used in making the gloves. Do
not use silk to sew ripped seams or to
darn wUh except when it is stronger
than cotton.
It is very difficult to clean adress-
ed kid glove satisfactorily, Imeause any
of the means taken to remove •the stains
of dirt from the le'at.her will also re-
move the dressing of the glove and
leave it dull in finish in spots. An
undressed glove can be very easily
cleaned, and is therefore a more, econ-
amical purchase when light colors are
used. Undressed gloves are not as much
