BATCH Hbw t Ekk a Mai 4 laatrmrt Her Inlelllceatly. When engaging a servant be careful to expluln her work to ber; also show bor that the wort raust be done in your way and not hers or the way ber former mlstrvss bad it done.. When she does well In ber work encourage I uk vf a lew worus or. praise. ieTer i reprove her in the presence of others and above all while she Is serving a meal, 6uys the New York Journal. Retain your temper at all times. Give your orders for each day as early as possible, and If It seems necessary write thein down very distinctly and clearly on a piece of paper and fasten It up In the pnntry, kitchen or some other convenient place. See that she is extremely neat In ber dress, hair neatly and simply arranged, no Jewelry worn, a perfectly clean apron, collar, cuffs and cap and a spotless gown. It Is well to give strict orders in regard to the hours when the servants are allowed to hare visitor. Tell the maid who opens the door never to let the visitors stand in the ball, but to show them immediately Into the drawing room. Instruct ber carefully what she must say in reply to messages left at the door or when persons who call are not, to be ad mitted. Most persons prefer to have the maid say that "Mrs. Brown Is not at home," meaning that she Is not at home to callers. It Is purely a matter of form and Is not considered an untruth. However, some persons are scrupulous in this matter and prefer to have the maid say, "Mrs. Brown begs to be ex cused this afternoon." Haw to Clean Mattlnar. To cleo n matting It should be first swept thoroughly with a stiff broom, following the grain of the straw, then swept across the grain with a soft broom that has been dipped In warm water, says the New York Telegrnin. Then wash thoroughly In warm water In which a handful of salt has been dissolved. Nothing brightens colored matting so much as the salt, and, moreover, It gees far to prevent it fad ing. The light colored matting should bo washed In water In which borax has been dissolved. If any grease spots are noticed before the matting Is cleansed cover them with a mixture of prepared chalk wet with turpentine, which after being allowed to remain on for two days should be removed with a still brush. In the event of the grease having sunken In about one eighth of washing soda added to the mixture will be effectual. Sweet milk Is said to keep the matting In a good state of preservation, and It Is only necessary to use the application about once a year. Ho it to Core Innomnla. There are several common sense ways of obtaining sleep. Due of them Is the application of cold wet cloths to the buck of the hend and neck. This treatment will uot be followed by a reaction if it in continued for a number of minutes, and it often works surpris ingly well, says a writer lu World's Vi'srk. Another way of solving the problem is lo soak the feet lu a hot bath until the veins become dilated with blood, or the whale body up to the hips may lie given a hot soak. With some people a two or three min ute hip bath Is the most effective rem eily. Other Diul help In n few slow exercises whii'li ilo not Jar or excite the system, but simply briug some fa tigue tj the bis muscles of the trunk mid limbs. Friction of the skiu, espe cially of the lower part of the body. Is another means. Hoiv to Cnre For n Moltlns Canary. lu liauilliii.j a iiioltiiis canary keep It very warm, at least at 70 degrees, and carefully protected from drafts. A bird tonic, purchasable from any good drug gist, should be given until the little pet recovers health rl spirits. Usual ly a bird ships siie.i'.ig through this period, and the rest is beneficial. Heavier food should be given, such ns hard boiled yolk of an egg. with finely powdered cracker crumbs and a little cayenne pepper or a whole hard boiled egg chopped very finely mid a little pulverized sugar. Opportunity to bathe every day should be given and the chill first taken from the water. Haw to Alltke l.emon Sherbet. For lemon sherls-t put to boll In a clean basin two scant quarts of water and one pint of sugar, says the New York Telegram. Cook until clear, skim ming if necessary. Meanwhile squeeze six lemons and grate a little of the yel low peel Into the Juice. Dissolve a ta blespoonful of gelatin In a quarter cup of cold water, heating It over the teukettle. When the sirup Is clear pour Into the lemon Juice, add the' gel atin, cool and freeze. The beaten whites of two eggs may be used In stead of the gelatin to give the Ice liody If preferred. How to Prepare Plaata For Winter. If you buve geraniums or any other plant for that matter that you Intend to make use of in the window garden next winter do not allow them to bloom during summer, says a writer In Out ing. - Nip off every bud as soon as seen. Throw the strength of the plant Into ! the development of branches. These should be shortened from time to' time, and madi tb produce Side branches. 'In this way you get a bushy, compact plant with score of blossoming points where there would fce but Tew if you allowed the plant to train Itself.
