Although the carpet sweeper is a labor saving device, the carpet will a thorough sweeping with 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 When the dust has settled oil the walls, a cloth about the brush part of the broom and wipe off. 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 followed by careful and then with an oiling with good sperm oil, will often greatly its way of running. 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.
