Arc Tendered a Reception Both at
Brownsville and Matamoros, and
Arc Delighted With the Country.
Homemade White Soap.
Frc-h she'icu lime, sal soda and
tallow, each two pounds. Dissolve
:Le oda in one gallon of boiling
if-ti water ..nd mix in the lime, stir
ring occas: aliy for a few hours,
after which lei it settle. Pour off
the clear liq.ior and boil the tallow
:l it until dissolved. Cool in a flat
box or pan and cut into bars or
cake?. You can perfume it before
it get?; hard with sassafras rose,
bergamot or lavender oil. When
making soap with anv form of soda
lime must' be added to make it caus
tic, which removes the carbonic acid
and leaves the rest of the soda free
to act on the grease.
Oiling tkc Floor.
For oiling the floors of houses
that have not good boards one small
can of cherry red paint mixed with
two quarts of boiled linseed oil and
applied with a cloth will be found
' excellent.
A simpler way for good floors is
to heat to the boiling point common
boiled lmseed on and while still hot
go over the floor, using an old paint
'brush and keeping the oil constant
ly hot. Even should the floor be
rough and inclined to sliver this
will be found a great improvement.
For Soro Throat.
Those subject to sore throat will
find the following preparation sim
ple, cheap and highly efficacious
when used in the early stage: Pour
a pint of boiling water on thirty
leaves of the common sage and let
the infusion stand for an hour. Add
vinegar sufficient to make it pleas
antly acid and honey to taste. The
mixture should be used as a gargle
twice a day. There is no danger
if some of it is swallowed.
A Homemade Dentifrice.
- A mouth wash to keep the gums
healthy and firm is made as follows:
Take two tcaspoonfuls of tincture
t of myrrh, one teaspoonful of spirits
of camphor and two pints of hot
water in which have been dissolved
I two ounces of borax. Put a wine-
glassful of this mixture into a tum
Vbler, fill it with water and use it
when cleaning the teeth.
To Induce Sleep.
When overtired and restless bathe
the neck and temples with hot wa
ter. Bathe the back of the neck
particularly. This seems to relax
the muscles and the veins that sup
ply the brain with blood. A head
ache will often be relieved, even
cured, by hot applications to the
back of the neck.
Cooling Drink For the Sick.
T"o assuage thirst and appease fe
verishncss apple tea is a capital
drink for sick people. It is made
by slicing raw apples into a jug,
filling up the jug with boiling water,
asjirutea making, then sweetening to
' taste. When cold, this apple tea
wilLbe found pleasingly tart and re
freshing. Removing Old Paint.
When old paint is to be removed
irom the floors- the" following prepa
ration invaluable Stir together
two pounds of sal soda, half a pound
f 'lime-and one gallon of hot water.
'Apply while stiU warnJt to the old
rpaint; -The mixturewill loosen the
(paihtfso you can. easily remove it.

since exhausted, and he was at a
loss to fiild additional expressions
for his delight and admiration at

o'clock on the return trip north,
highly pleased with their reception
and entertainment along- the way. '
On the trip down Baron des Plan
ches and party spent one night at
Santa Gertrudes ranch, three miles
from Kingsville, where they were
hospitably entercained and shown
the wonderful development and
possibilities of that thriving section.
It is sufficient to say that the en
tire trip aiong the Gulf Coast-Line
was a revelation and will find a
prominent place in the Baron's re
port upon the matchless resources
of the "Italy of America."
Household Hintc

A spoonful of water added before

MUSICAL SMAiLS.

Marvelous facts are given to us by
the hardworking scientists. Many
of the inconspicuous members of the
lower orders have been brought to
our respectful admiration by the
naturalists. Now it is the slimy
snail that commands our admira
tion. A German scientist points
out that the snail can draw immense
weights, and now a Frenchman
claims that there are few, if any, an
imals which have a keener apprecia
tion of music than snails. This nat
uralist is M. M. S. Jourdain, and he
expresses his views on the subject in
a paper which he has read to the
Prench Biological society. Place
some snails on a pane of glass, he
says, and you will find that they will
make sounds similar to those which
a person can. produce by wetting his
fingers and rubbing them around a
tumbler. Complete airs, he thinks,
can be produced in this way. This
may be the next vaudeville novelty.
