Charlotte.. 1 A Household Necessity. A family medicine chest is one of the necessities in the household, and every housewife should understand how to use its contents. There should be a place for keeping all the bottles and packages together, al though it he nothing better than HE HASTILY DODGED BEHIND A TREE. Pe sargint done tole me to halt you three times and den shoot yoW And, with that he cocked his rifle* Thereupon the. officer hastily dodg ed behind a tree, from which retreat he succeeded with difficulty in per suading the recruit not to shoot." Any Cord Would Do. General B&llington Booth of the Volunteers of America told a story at the meeting of his organization of a prayer meeting held on the east side during a mayoralty cam paign, says the New York Commer cial Advertiser, in the midst of a prayer, he related, one pious brother though it he nothing better than an upper shelf in the closet or pantry. Then they can be found without loss of time, which is not the case where the bottles are left scattered about on the windows and mantels> The home medicine chest should contain a bottle of camphor, some -good liniment, a few doses of qui nine in capsules,.; sweet oil, castor oil, paregoric, flaxseed, mustard, sul phur, vaseline, limewater and vari ous other things that have been tried and found good. Should any member of the family be severely burned cover the burned portion with linseed oil and lime- water; then wrap it with cotton wool. Allow it to remain twenty- four hours. Curtains and Draperies* Few things give so great an air of comfort to a home as pretty cur-* tains and draperies, and they are useful for many purposes. Besides their decorative aspect, they shut out draft and exclude dust. The curtains, for instance, used in lieu* of a door to the homemade ward- Tobe protect the dresses within from soil, while giving charm to the ap pearance of the bedroom. There are many women whose first task when house moving is to ar range the window draperies, because, as they say, when once those are completed the house will begin to look like home, whereas the finished room devoid of blinds and curtains looks bare and cold. \ The fashionable m&teriU3£ f?r heavy curtains are plushes and plushettes, serges, tapestries and brocades for the sitting room, while for the bedroom art linen is prefer red or fancy cretonne. Front Door Mirrors. Recently in passing through, pos sibly the prettiest village, in the Gots wolds I saw an excellent idea that might with advantage be intro duced elsewhere. Withm the knock er on the front door, which in this instance was about on a level with the face of the visitor, was placed a .small convex mirror. Supposing Hie visitor is paying a call of either congratulation or condolence, how advantageous must it be to put the right expression on his countenance, -either festive or doleful, before he ^knocks at the door.—London Graph- FstMa No. 35.

" Henniker Heaton, member of par liament for Canterbury, was recent ly asked by the archbishop of Can terbury “of what advantage is the presentation of the freedom of a city to its recipient ?” “It enables him to open a public house, your grace," was the reply. “How shock ing!” rejoined Dr. Temple, who did not cho*«a to see the joke.
