/ gglgPgP* - ’ 8 r ALL OVER THE HOUSE (The Value of an Onion Outside the Reaim of Food. ; .The healing properties of the Onion are by ho means tfie least of its virtues. There is nothing to surpass its food effects in relieving jeatarrh. Peel and slice it, boil till tender, strain off the liquor, sweeten it with sugar candy and the result will prove the best cough mixture in the world. It should be taken in dessertspoonfuls when the cough is troublesome. The’juice of a boiled onion with a few drops-of vinegar will stop bleeding of the nose, and forms an efficacious soothing rem edy for insect bites. Last, though, not least, there is nothing better for the prompt relief and removal ( of corns. The onion, after soaking in vinegar for three to four hours, can be tied on to the painful part over night, and will so loosen the hard substance that it can easily be re moved with the hand. It has the same effect on old standing warts, and it is excellent as stiekpfiast since it has been known to secure broken metal of all kinds. The article which needs mending should first be thoroughly washed, with soda and water, then the onion juice may be painted on, with excellent and unfailing results. New Bureau Covers. One inch insertions in the • new colored lace, yellow, blue, pink, though of rather -crude shades, look pretty as a frame round plain trans parent muslin slips for the 1 toilet table. Crochet edgings, especially of Irish make, are now employed as borders to muslin covers, embroid ered white or in natural' colors. Darned net and guipure d’art are once more fashionable for the pua> pose, with the introduction of tinsel threads and dainty ribbon bows. The strongest slips are, perhaps, those consisting of a deep scroll border fashioned with coarse half inch braid and connected with crochet work instead of lace stitches. Crochet likewise replaces the narrow drawn work insertion, sewed along the central band in linen. Through the openwork is threaded a dainty ribbon, tied at each of the four corners into a bow. Tacked on to a .cheery glazed lining these covers last clean .a long time and wash beautifully. Any fancy is admissible for the covers, hence any odds and ends pan be utilized and set off with fancy embroidery stitches, neither too light nor too heavy for the material. Label Your Bottles. For convenience sake, if for no other reason, label all your bottles, cans and boxes. In the end labels are a great time saver. How much better to run the eye along a line of neatly labeled cans, reach the shelf and take down the ground allspice than to begin at the row numbering eleven or more, touch the tongue to every one and sniff suspiciously un til the correct spice is found. Mis takes often occur from unlabeled medicine bottles. It is almost im* possible to pick up a daily paper which does not contain an account of some unhappy woman drinking poison in place of a tonic. Then harrowing tales are told of the baby being rubbed with a solution of cor rosive sublimate in alcohol because the insect eradicator happened to be in a bottle bearing the old label of alcohoL For the China Closet. Some pretty things are being brought out in the new chinaware of the season. Among them are some attractive stone jugs. They are made in both buff color and sage green and in two sizes—pints and quarts. One style is in a bamboo pattern, another is decorated with relief designs, illustrating the ad ventures of Tam O’Shantei, while a third shows a bulrush pattern. .These jugs are copies of original Bidgway stone molds cast in 1835. Cameo china is another novelty that is daintily pretty. It is on the same order as the famous Dresden china, and has a beautiful Dresden floral decoration. Each piece is elaborately traced in gold.

There were ten of them altogether, but Mother Hen only counted nine. “Why, where's Pecky?” she said. “What a nanghtv child she is!

She marched up and down the farmyard very independently and took no no tice at all of her mother’s calls. “Ridiculous,” she said. “Why, it’s quite light. Any one would think I was a baby a few days old. I shall "go for a ’ stroll and seV how my friends the ducklings are.” ; But when Pecky came to the duck pond she found it was quite desert ed, and a muffled quack- from a neighboring house told her that all vthe little ducks, too, had gone to ‘bed. . . \ ’ t v [ I; - ■ ■ “They certainly are a lot 1 of sleepy heads,”' said Pecky. “Oh, well, I must enjoy myself alone.
