Editor Social Corner: If there are pioré things than a woman has to )w to be an efficient home-maker required for any other occupation I hope whoever may know what it is will reveal it to the readers of this department. I lam sending a few things of value to housekeepers. Any scratches on polished furniture can be lessened and often wholly re- moved by laying a cloth saturated with linseed oil on them and letting it re- main for several hours, then polish- ing. A woman who can doctor up her ailing maching, clean up rusty shears, sharpen knives and scissors, -and kitehen cutlery, tighten loose screws and glue loose joints, will find the knowledge worth while in more ways than one. It is recommended to keep a cup of granulated sugar on the sink shelf, 2nd while the hands are covered with moapsuds, rub a pinch of it well over them, in order to whiten and soften. If your garment is not too badly scorched (which means very bad in- deed), the short-cut to remedying the damage is to hang the scorch in the hot sunshine all day. A short-cut for cleaning is to keep | a lot of newspapers hung on a hook near the stove or sink, and use as a cloth for cleaning the range, or wiping oft greasy articles, dirt, soot, or rust. For polishing the range nothing is bet- ter than newspapers. greasy dishes, pots, pans, use the crumpled paper before the dish rag. Bran filled into cheesecloth bags is excellent for cleaning wall paper. It is also better than soap for the bath tub, and for the toilet, nothing is bet- ter for the hands, face and neck. It is as cleansing for clothes as for the Dbody. Boiled, and the water used the #ame as soapsuds, it is as cleansing for delicate colored fabrics as soap, and does not injure the color. :Flannels should be allowed to drip, with as little wringing as possible ‘when getting through the last water. Hang by the edge and let drip until .~ For crocheted or knmit goods, rinse perfectly free from soap suds, then “huddle” on a piece of clean cloth, turning often, to dry even. Hanging up will leave the article “stringy.” These are only a few of a thou- sand things it is well to keep where they will be found when wanted. HAPPY JANE. A FEW THINGS ALL SHOULD KNOW, “ Sisters of the Social Corner: It is the Mttle things we know that help won- derfully when the time is ripe for them. I am sending in a few hoping they will be useful. Do not forget the leg of beef is very fine for soups and meat salads, Fried banana laid on a bed of rice makes an excellent luncheon dish.

A painter's small brush is the best thing “for removing dust from rattan furniture. If your eyes trouble you, try bathing them regularly with hot water at bed- time, When cleaning the oilcloth, try using a little skimmed milk in the water in- stead of soap. Embroidered linens should be ironed on the wrong side and on a thick, soft ironing blanket. To draw the fire out of a burn, moisten it with water at once and then cover it with baking soda. If onions are held under cold runm- ning water while being peeled, they will not move one to tears. Cheese is very nourishing and whole- some when prepared with ~macaroni, potatoes or bread crumbs. Wash and rinse cut glass in water that is not very hot and of the same temperature for each operation, Never keep bread wrapped in a cloth, as the cloth will absorb moisture and impart an unpleasant taste.

My woodbox is empty.” “Now to get down to business,” said Grace. “I came all these long miles to see you in regard to giving a class in tatting making. Aunty No. 1 said if she knew of anyone who would bear the test, she would like to start a tat- ‘ting_contest. They have contests in the W. C. T. U, and why not in The Social Corner? “Aunty is an expert in tatting mak- ing and she thought as you took les- sons of her you might get up a class to join the contest. It will not come oft before March 1st, so you see you ! “The day is done, and the darkness Falls from the wings of night As a feather is wafted downward From an eagle in his flight.

It is so devised, however. that for a long, long while the transition is al- most imperceptible. ‘We know that Niagara Falls is being ‘worn away by the tremendous force of | water, and that it is only a matter of | time when there will be no falls; still we can scarcely realize it because of its immensity. So a human life comes into the world, and, like Niagara Falls, it is slowly wearing away and merging toward eternity;-but if from that life a noble character is formed it will resem- ble that mighty thing of nature in more ways than one—it will live long after life has ceased. To live in this age of ever increas- ing demands, one must have an educa- tion, or he is very seriously handicap- ped. Education will be a very great extent improve one’s character, and make It such that it will live long after us. It will' help us to make the most of ourselves, and to get the most out of lilfe. Then why should not woman be as well educated as man? In many ways education is of much greater value to her. Many people contend that the aver- age woman requires butsevry licttle ed- ucation, inasmuch as she will probably marry, in which event her education is worthless; and the money expended in acquiring it absolutely lost, to say nothing of the valuable time wasted, in which she could have learned the art of housekeeping. Therefore they con- | tell of the healthfulness of the old | time houses, but few grandmas slept | | with a window open in winter, or put| | their sturdy babies to sleep in the | open air and some of them lived long |10 those days told by her teacher that she had made an ungrammatical remark, and was required to repeat it in the corkect way. When the child reached nome that night she related the circumstance to her mother, who was very much provoked: “It ain’t none of that teacher’s bus- iness how you talk, Mary. It don't make no difference whether you talk proper or not as long as you get out what you want to say.” It 1s very evident from the above the child who has an educated mother has far more advantages than the child who has not. It is to be hoped the good work of education may continually progress— that parents may see the value of an education for their daughters, and al- low them to make the most of them- selves, and in that way help to make the world more grogressive.

When her education is completed she can be recommended to the world as compe- tent to fill the position of teacher, sten- ographer, librarian, or whatever she may have chosen. Her education then is a good investment, belng used as a means of self-support, whereby she is each day gaining useful information— knowledge not attained in schools— for we all know that experience comes later. She may work one vear, maybe five, or perhaps a lifetime, but she feels that the time has been well spent, and that she is much better for it. She will choose a better husband than the average uneducated woman, owing to the fact that she will not marry sim- ply to be supported, but because the one lekes like a riddle.

GENTEEL LUNCHES. Dear Sisters.of the Social Corner: It is nice to know how to prepare the table for a genteel lunch to entertain friends or for the delight of the chil- dren. Assuming that we have a passion for color that will not be satisfied, let us work out some attractive menu, in which the color appears in flowers; in hand-painted place cards (which we do not have to eat) and in fruits and vegetables that have naturally beauti- ful tints. These are merely su tions: the one color would, of cou not be carried to an extreme whi would mean absurdity, A Yellow and White Luncheon. Flowers—Narcissi and daffodlls, lifornia vellow poppies.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: The lemon may be used in various ways to check or cure disease, Doubt- less some of the sisters suffer from vous headache. Such will find it useful often. Two or three slices In a cup of strong tea will often dispel it. A bilious headache is almost in- variably put to rout by a tablespoon- ful of lemon juice in a small cup of black coffee The juice of half a lemon in a cup of hot water first thing in the morning is an excellent liver corrective and a successful substitute for calomel and similar drugs. Honey, alum and lemon juice is an old-fashioned but good remedy for croup. A dish of lemon juice in water makes a pleasant and effective tooth wash, cleaning the teeth and sweetening the breath. In er, a lemon is pretty much of a conckntrated drug store. Outwardly applied lemon julce and rose water will remove tan and whiten the skin, and taken inwardly, lemon juice on lump sugar is fine for hoarse- ness. Lemon juice with olive ofl is far superior as a salad dressing to vinegar nd a teaspoontul of lemon juice adds a dainty flavor and whitens the grains of boiling rice or sago. Salt and lemon juice remove rust stains from white goods, and tough meat may be made tender by adding a teaspoonful of lemon juice to the water in which it is to be boiled If the hands become stained, lsmon juice -will make them white ONE WHO KNOWS.
