Kitchen Conveniences.
AIUHC for tho Sink When tho
kitchen sink is not supplied with
nn enameled back, try pasting a
square of whlto oilcloth on tho wall
above the sink. If good, strong paste is
used and tho edges carefully pressed
down, the splashing of water on tlio oil
cloth will not loosen it. Tho pasted
edgrs do not curl (is when tucks tiro
uscJ and tho whole has a neat appear
and. Protect tho Bottom of tho Sink With
a Wire Hack A wiro rack on which to
stand kettles, dishes, etc., In tho kitchen
sink is quickly nnd cheaply made and
otico used will always bo a valuablo
part of tho kitchen equipment.
The frame, which is of hard wood
joined at the corners by small nails, is
only a little smaller than tho bottom of
tie sink. Wiro netting- (poultry wiro)
is stretched on tho top, bent over tho
edsca of the frame and tacked in place,
then a molding covers tho rough edges
of tho wire nnd makes a neat finish.
This rack docs not intcrfero with the
free passage of water down tho drain
pipo nnd saves the ennmcled sink from
many hnrd knocks besides elevating
the dishpnn to n convenient level for
r sailing dishes.
Oaro of Eyobrows and Lashes.
DON'T NKOLKCT your eyebrows and
eyelashes, allowing them to got
straggly nnd thin. Uso nn oyo
brow brush regularly, brushing tho
brows smoothly nnd firmly, nnd gently
brushing tho eyelashes upward.
I'ctrolenm jelly is splendid for thick
ening and darkening tho brows nnd
lnshcs, and so, for tho matter of that,
is cocoa butter. Apply a llttlo overy
night, nnd you will find in a very short
tliro your eyebrows nnd cyolnshea will
improve.
Jio enrcful, though, how you apply
cltlu r petroleum jelly or cocoa butter to
the lashes. Von rcqulro only tho least
little bit. Tnko n match, round tho
edgo of which n tiny picco of cotton
wool has been tightly twisted, nnd dip
into petroleum jelly or cocoa butter.
Apply under tho eyelashes, working up
ward. This will causo them to tako a
pretty upward curl. Never clip tho eye
lashes. )y doing so you will work them
lasting harm.

the habit of moistening tho throat with

so that thcro is an abundanco of tho
latter, which should bo thoroughly
mixed with tho food beforo swallow

hold that water taken during the meal
is not harmful, it docs oftou become

Nover lot a child drink n glass of
iced water down quickly. If they arfl
very hot it ! enough to kill them.
Thero is no hnrm in allowing a child to
suck n picco of ico, bcrauso tho water
molts slowly nnd is fairly off tho chill
beforo it reaches the stomach. To
satisfy oxtromo thirst, such as in fever,
the ico sucking is preforablo for this,
reaton.
Teach n child when drinking water a(
any time to tnko long, but slow, mouth
fuls. It is not only moro satisfying, but
'better for tho digestion in overy way,
