Although the carpet sweeper is a

broom occasionally.
chairs and couches from the
room if convenient, but if not cover
them while sweeping. There is
nothing so destructive to their beau-
as to allow them to become
with dust every sweeping day.
Open the windows or doors and
sweep with quick, firm strokes that
will clean the carpet without
it. If the broom is dampened
frequently, it will not raise a cloud
of dust. Or a better plan would be
to sprinkle salt over the carpet be-
fore sweeping. It cleanses car-
pet beautifully and brightens the
colors.
When the dust has settled, re-
move the covers from the furniture
and dust the woodwork carefully.
Use a soft feather duster for
and vases. A large square of
cheesecloth is better for other

How to Clean a Plaster Cast
A correspondent of a scientific
journal says that a bust or statue
can be most thoroughly cleaned pro-
it has not been painted, oiled
or waxed by inverting it and filling
it with water free from iron. The
water is then allowed to filter
through the plaster. After the
has been kept up for a
time and the outside surface
occasionally washed with water and
a soft brush the plaster is allowed
to dry. It is then found that all
the dust has been wiped out of the
pores of tho east, which is thus re-
stored to its original whiteness.
In the Sickroom.
Absolute cleanliness and tidiness
arc necessary in a sickroom. The
furniture should be simple and ca-
of being easily cleansed.
Avoid all kinds of woolen draperies
and let the curtains be of white
washable material. If possible, all
medicines and tho attendant para-
should be kept out of
sight of the patient in on adjoining
room. Glasses, spoons, etc.,
be washed as soon as used and
ready for the time when they will
again be needed.
Dining Room Decoration.
A recent idea is to form a border
or above a plate rail or
shelf in dining room or
living room. Quite a effect
was lately secured by an artistic
orator in a library by hanging a line
of old prints just above plate
shelf. Another quite novel
secured in a dining room by a
line of blue, red and white Japanese
plates against deep yellow paper
above the plate rail.
Oil the Machine.
Many a sewing machine fails to
do as good work as it ought and
might because it is not properly oil-
ed and cleaned. When it gets gum-
med through the use
of poor thorough oiling with

To Restore Tarnished Silver,
Tarnished silver may be restored
to brightness by the application of
oil used for polishing hardwood
floors. The oil should be applied
with a flannel cloth and the article
briskly rubbed afterward. Silver
candlesticks and similar articles may
be kept in good condition by
rubbing them with flannel
and a little floor oil.
