Comparatively carriage. few persons A understand finely
howto treat a var¬
nished carriage requires as much or even
more care for Its preservation than a
piece of fine furniture in the house. It
should never be put away to stand in a
dirty condition. In cleaning a carriage
avoid rubbing, but wash off the dirt by a
stream thrown from a hose or syringe
wherever it Is practicable. Where mud
has dried on saturate a sponge and
squeeze it over the spots nntil it lias
softened and run off, On the wheels and
running gear a soft mop may be used,
but always avoid the use of anything
that will cause the grit in the mud to ajet
like sand paper on the varnish. I think
there is nothing in which the effects of
neglect or carelessness will show sooner
than in the care that is taken of a nice
carriage. In washing a carriage keep it
out of the sun, and don’t allow the water
to dry off itself and leave stains on the
vamirii, but carefully absorb it with
some soft substance. An old silk hand¬
kerchief is excellent for .the nicely pol¬
ished work. Nuts and bolts should be
frequently examined and not be allowed
to work loose, sand all the bearings
should be sufficiently but not profusely
lubricated.

A Comfortable Hammock.
Each season appear directions for
making hammocks for the use of those
who aw removed from towns where
these luxuries may be purchased at com¬
paratively small cost. The barrel stave

these home contrivances.
methods of securing the staves suggest
themselves, but the one shown in the cut
appears to be as simple and effective as
’Srematerial used Includes a number
of banel staves and some rope. The lat¬
ter should be about one-half inch in di¬
ameter. It should be doubled and loosely
twisted; then a second doubling without
twisting leaves it in condition for the in¬
troduction of the staves. These are taken
from ordinary flour barrels. Two such
barrels furnish material for a good sired
hammock.
Near each end of each one of the
staves a hole about one-quarter inch in
diameter is bored. Tike ends of the staves
are then inserted in the lays of rope, be¬
tween the two pieces of each side. The
object of the loose introduction twisting is to provide of
places for the of the ends
the staves. Care must be taken to have
enough twists to receive all the staves,
and not to have the twisting too tight.
If preferred, the ropes may be twisted
as the stavtes are introduced.
To prevent the staves from slipping
out, each one is tied in place. A short
piece of string is wound on each mid of
tiie stave around both ropes, passing
through the hole already mentioned, ana
is then tied. The ends of the suspension
topes are now secured and tied or spliced
into loops, and the hammock is com¬
plete. When such a hammock is sup-
