ANOTHER USE FOR SALT.
For moths salt is the best ex
terminator. The nuns in one of
the hospital convents have tried
everything else without success,
and their experience is valuable,
as they have so much clothing of
the sick who go there; and
strangers, when dying there, often
leave quantities of clothing, etc.
They had a room full of feathers,
which were sent there for pillow
making, and they were in despair,-
as they could not exterminate the
moths until they were advised to
Iry common salt. They sprinkled
it around, and in a week or ten
days they were altogether rid of
the moths. They are never
troubled now. In heavy velvet
carpets sweeping them with salt
cleans and keeps them from moths,
as particles of salt remain in the
carpets and corners. Salt is not
hurtful to any one and has no bad
smell. Here is a little hint I add.
which, perhaps, everyone does not
know. For cleaning wash basins,
bath, etc., use the same thing,
common dry salt. Rub a little of
the salt with your fingers on the
basin. Often a sort of scum is no
ticed in the basins in a marble
washstand in the bathroom; the
salt takes it off easily and leaves
the basin shining and clear.

"I'm busy- from daylight until

Children Cry for;
A BOARDING-HOUSE INCIDENT.
.There was chicken for dinner at
a Harlem boarding house, and in
stead of being satisfied to take any
of it that was offered there was a
general request all around ' the
board for "white meat." Several
boarders sent back their plates to
have their piece ot dark meat ex
changed for white. The landlady
herself was master of ceremonies
in the kitchen that day. She stood
this raeket as long as possible, and
then burst into the dining room
like a cyclone fresh and furious
from the west. Glaring at the
boarders, she exclaimed:
"See here, 3rou loafers, what do
you mean by all sending out for
white meat? Do you imagine a
chicken is made of white meat
Couldn't eat a nice piece- of the
dark meat, I suppose? On, no; you
have been eating nothing but white
meat all your lives, and that's the
reason you are all white-livered, 1
reckon."
She seemed to swell up as her
awful indignation grew "upon her,
and, moving closer to the table,
she swayed above'it like a giant
oak in a storm. This time she
fairly screamed:
"Confound your impudent car
casses. I'll have you know that
I am not so particular about color.
Take the color of your money, for
instance. I'd like to see some of
it and I'd take it most mighty
darn quick, be it red, white, blue
or speckled. Now, I'm goin' to
send that chicken back here, and
any of you dudes that don't like
the dark meat can take it out to a
kalsominer and get . it white
washed."
"Gentlemen,'.' said one of the
boarders, when the lady had re
tired to the kitchen, "we have
trodden on the tail ot a tempest.
For one, I prefer dark meat on my
plate to having it distributed
around under my eyes."
And the rest of the boarders did,
too. World.

THE CHAMBER OF TORTURE
Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflamiUiry rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that tine - pieyentitive, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, is used by persons of a
rheumatic tendency, much unnecessary suf
fering is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and
sedatives, while having none but a specific
are yet very desirable at times. Yet they
can. produce no lasting effect upon rheuma
tism; because they have no power to elimin
ate from the blood the rheumatic virus.
Hostetter's Stomach Bittets does this, and
checks at the outset a disease which, if al
lowed to gain headway, it is next to impos
sible to dislodge or to do more than relieve.
Rheumatism, it should be remembered, is a
disease with a fatal tendency from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort to the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and ner-
vousness are reneveu ny it. mi.
