To prevent cakes from adhering
to the tin, after greasing the tins
dust thoroughly with flour.
To remove the shiny look from
black c'othes wash well, then dip
black cloth in hot tea and coffee, equal
parts of each, and sponge clothes.
Table linens should always be hem
med by hand. Not only do they look
more dainty, but there i 9 never a
streak of dirt under the edge alter
being laundried, as with machine sew
ing.
Whole i loves are r.ow used to ex
terminate tire merciless and imlus
trious moth. It is said that they are
more effectual as a destroying agent
than either tobacco, camphor or
cedar shavings.
A lump of soda laid upon tire drain
pipe down which waste water passes
will prevent the clogging ot the pipe
with grease, especially if the pipe be
flooded every week with boiling
water.
Olten after cooking a meal a per

be a litt’e sputtering sound. When
it is thoroughly baked there will be
no sound.
To prepare an egg for a sick per
son, beat tbeegg until very light; add
seasoning to taste, and then steam
until thoroughly warmed through.
This will not take more than two
minutes. The most delicate sti roach
will be able to digest it.
American Druggist tells how to pre
pare a blotter that will who ly re
move ink spots from paper. Take a
thick b'otting paper and steep it
several times in .1 solution of oxalic
acid or oxalate of potassium While
the spot is still moist apply the pre
pared blotter and the ink will be en
tirely removed
To keep highly polished brass ab
solutely bright and free from tarnish
ing, it is thinly coated with a varnish
of bleached shellac and alcohol So
long a9 this varnish remains intact
the brass will continue to be bright.
Much ot the decorative biass now
used is finished in this manner,
thereby 6aving the housewife laboi
in way of cleaning and polishing it.
The blooming of the calla may be
assisted by giving it an abundant
supply of *arm water and keeping
the leavers Fine Irom dust- A plan
■which many pursue with success is
to set the pot containing the cal-a
into an earlhern crock or jar, which
-is filled up at least once a day with
boiling water from the tea kettle.

Superstitions About Babies.
Receiving the card of a little
stranger who had arrived at tin
home of a friend a lew weeks before
we hastened at once to hear our
greeting gift and eongratula:tons,
and were about entering baby’s
reception-room, when we were met.
by the bead nurse, a good, c tufnr
table looking Scotch woman, who
would on no account allow us to
come in without first removing our
gloves and veils.
‘‘Surely the bonny bit laddie
would-iia hae luck at a’,” she said, as
she watched us divest ourselves ol
the object onable a;tides; “and now
you maun a’ mak a guid wi.-h tor
haiili soul and body when you tak
. him in your amis ”
We willing.y complied with this
request, and delighted her beyuiei
all reason by accidentally giving the
child his lull name us be opened bis
eyes and gazed into vacancy, al
tbo igh apparently at us.
‘ indeed, unstress, be is sure to b,
a credit to bis father and the kirk,
forhy the gun) luck that maun follow
a child that auswers sue readi y to
his najjt!'
We laughed at the old woman’s
fancies, but ever since have been
tempted to tio as she hade Us, when
calling upon a uew baby. Surely it
can do no harm to make a good wish,
and s for the gloves and veil, the
ceremony of removing is a cautious
as well as a comfortable one.
It is believed 'by many that if a
child cries at its birth and lilts up
only one hand, it is bom to command.
It is thought very unlucky n t to
weigh die baby before it is dri‘fS> d

not be put on oyer the head, but
drawn on over the feet, for luck.
When first taken from the room in
which it was born, it must be carried
upstairs before going down, so that
it will rise in the world. In any ease,
it must be carried upstairs or up the
street, hot downstairs or down the
stree- the first time it is taken out.
It is also considered in England
and Scotland unlucky to cut the
, baby’s nails or hair before it is
twelve months old. The sap from
the ash tiee is always given to the
new-born Highland baby; first, be
cause it is a powerful astringent, and
second, because it is supposed to
possess the property of resisting the
attacks of witches, faries, and oilier
.nips of darkness that might change
the child. Another Scotch custom
is to put a gold coin in the fingers of
a baby as soon as dress' d. If the
child clasps it tightly, then it i* con
sidered ‘unco’ canny.” aud no-fear is
fell tor its worldly estate. Even the
days of the week and hours of the
- day are held propitious The old.
saying,
‘•Born on Monday, fair in the face;
Boi-n on Tuesday, full ol God's grace;
Born on Wednesday, the best to be had;
Born on Thursday ino-ry and glad;
Born on Friday, wortbil} given:
Boru on Saturday, work hard lor a living;
Born on buuday .shall never know want,”
is known with very few changes all
over the Christian world; one devia
tion from the original makes Friday’s
child ‘‘free in giving.’’ Thur-day
. has one very lucky hour just before
sunrise.
• “The child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny aud good and blithe and gay.*'
While
"He who is born on New Year’s morn
Will have hie own way as sure as you’re born.*’
And
“He who is born on an Easter morn
Shall never know care, or want, or harm.'*
When a child is born on a saint’s
day it must bear the saint’s name, as
it is considered very unlucky, not to
say unkind, to take the day away
, Imm the child—so says the Catholic
mother. In many pans of both Eng
land and Scotland at the prestnt
time a new baby is presented with an
egg. which represents both meat an
drink, salt, which savor* everything,
bread, th** staff of life, matches to
light it t hrough the world, and a coin,
that ft may rever want mouey.
In Durham, England, a piece of
christening cake >s hidden under the
. child’s robe, and given to the first
person of the opposite sex met ou
coming out ot church after baptism
ll twins or more than one child are
brought for baptism at the same
time the boy must be first present
ed, or else it i—or was—believed
that lie would have no b ard, and
that the girls would be beggars.
It is thought to vti-y lucky for a
child lo cry at baptism.
In Scotland bread aud cheese were
used as an offering And in the
North Hiding a roll of new bread, a
pmt of salt, and a new silver .our
penny piece were offered to every
baby on its first visit to a friend, by
tile friend.
It is thought very unlucky foi the
godmother lo wear mourning, a dis
tinction being made between biack
and mourning.
A seventh daughter is said to
possess- curing power, and always
makes a good nurse.
When the baby cuts his first lootli
it should be rubbed with gold, and
the nurse, as well as the person dis
covering tlie tooth, must be present
ed with a gilt no matter bow small. '
Parted teeth are a sign of good luck
and riches t come
lie sure and let the baby have or
touch the thing that he starts alter 1
when he lakes his first step, even il ,
it ts the moon—he must lie let touch 1
something high, on which its light
shines —and then he will always get 1
Ids wishes. 1
He should betaken into the sun- ’
light first on a Sab.lath day, put t..;0 (
short clothes and in tact all ch.nges J
made upon that day. <
And so on, all through our darl- ]
ing’s crude life, are such Caucus 1
talked about, believed, and often '
practiced by those who rock the era
ole; and what harm can it do to be
lieve that when our baby smiles in
ids sleep he is talking with angels, oi
i bat when we see a shout star some
baby’s suul is on its way to this
earth?
A good example of how far the old
hedeis or superstitions ot our grand
mothers aie regarded hy the mother
id' this generation is pleasantly illu—
trail'd in the following conversation
eierheurd at one ol the elevated
datums in Xew York city: A ch Id.

pruning it are required. The Hedge and Wire
Fence which we construct will turn all kinds
of stock, horses, mules, hogs and cattle, It
is not only substantial, but highly orna

the Dayton Hedgr Co., we have the advantage of it* 25 years kxpebixnce, and all ill
tools, appliances and instruments for constructing the fence.
The four strands cf Wire running horizontally the entire length of the
fence . impart to it strength and so’idity, and needs only tole seen to
be appreciated■ l f has given the highest satisfaction wherever
it has been introduced Many orders from teudiny farm
