A LITTLE NONSENSE. Littla Girl’* Delightful Anticipation More Than Realized. . This is the story they tell of a Canning little five-year-old gill whose nurse had been promising her oil summer a little coon doll when the family reached the city if shg would be very good and obedient., This was a delightful promise, and the little girl was as good as a little five-year-old could be. Then the family came back to the city a lit tle earlier than usual, and some thing interesting happened —a and new baby came to the house, was a funny, red faced little at’ , which only a loving moth er. experienced nurse could pos ly consider beautiful, but it was f reat tiling for the little girl, who 1 never before in her short life . a real live baby, hhere is a great surprise for said the nurse, taking the tar-old upstairs, where the lit sister was lying snuggled up . canopv of muslin and rib ■Vh.it do vou think of that?" itinued, lifting the little girl r she could see the funny little >n the white pillow.

Don't sweep them, says the New York Telegram. Lukewarm water should always be used for this washing, and the soap should he selected with care, tor none but the purest kinds cAtf i» used without injuring the materia! and fading the colors. Scrubbing is necessary once a week, and if the apartment is much used and the floor gets dirty wash ing twice a week is none too often, for gritty dirt if not removed cuts into the linoleum and in time wears it, so that cleaning is essential iii preserving this covering as well ns in keeping it sanitary. To clean thoroughly a stiff bris tled brush should he used to work the tepid water and soap into the pores and scrub out the dirt. Cleans ing in this way the floor is done in sections that are mopped up with n cotton cloth and then immediately rubbed dry with a woolen rag. Lino leum should he dried as soon as pos sible after being scrubbed, for wa ter left standing on it has a tenden cy to dull the colors and to make the material sort of soggy. Kitchen Don’ts. Don’t litter up a kitchen any more than you can help while get ting a meal. It will take hours to straighten up after the meal is over. Don’t lay a greasy spooil down on the table, it leaves a stain that will take hard work to remove. Don’t crumple up your dish towels. Rinse and hang them in the sun, says the Chicago Daily News. Don’t pour boiling water over china that is piled in the dish pan. It is apt to crack from sudden con traction and expansion. Don’t try to black a stove while it is hot. It takes more blacking and less polish. Care of Bath Sponges. When the regulation salt water sponges need cleaning the best plan to cut the dirt is to soak them in vinegar for several hours and then run clean warm water through them until the acid is all out. They should then he hung in the sun shine where they will air and dry. After each bath a sponge should he washed out with clean hot water and soap and rinsed with cold water, then put in a place where the air and sunshine surround it, for unless sponges are well aired they become sour and disagreeable to use. Mock Duck. Spread a slice of steak cut from the top of the round with a stuffing made as for a chicken or turkey. Roll the meat up and tie closely, then steam ono hour. Fut the steak in a small baking pan and rub over with butter. Brush with a beaten egg, pour the liquid from the dish in the steamer into the pan and hake until tender. Baste often with liquid. Serve with a brown gravy made from the contents of the pan. Hint About Old Gloves. Old kid gloves or kid slippers may be utilized for making kettle or iron holders. Leather being a had con ductor of heat, these holders are much more effective than flannel ones. Squares of kid should he cut out, joined together and covered with felt or flannel, the edges being hound with braid or s‘*ps of thin leather. The housewife will he sur prised how such holders save her hands from the heat. Cleaning White Ribbons. White ribbons —satin, messaline, louisine and the rest*of the satiny kinds—which have become soiled may he washed in tepid water in which soap jelly has been dissolved. Stretch them out upon a board to dry—an ironing hoard covered w r ith clean muslin is splendid for the purpose—pinning the ends firmly, so as to stretch the ribbon beyond the need of pressing if possible. To Wash Challis. For washing challis rice water is the best. Boil one pound of rice in five quarts of water. When cool put the challis in with the rice and wa ter and wash well, using the rice much as you would soap. If no rinsing is used the rice will have a good effect on the fabric. Turning Out Jellies. The following method of turning jellies quite whole out of a mold will be found an excellent one and very useful when parties are to he given: Grease jelly molds with butter, and when the 'jelly is to he turned out plunge the mold into hot water and remove at once. Plaster Ornaments. Cover plaster of paris ornaments that are intended to he cleaned with a thick coating of starch and allow it to become perfectly dry, then it can be brushed off and the dirt with it. the Montgomery monitor— I Thursday, oft ii, moo ROAD NOTICE.
