up, then wash thoroughly with hot soap
suds, and rinse.
One may utilize old matting which is
no longer fresh enough to look well, by
putting it under carpets. It can be
cleaned perfectly by w ashing it on both
sides with hot salt and water; hang it on
a line outdoors to dry.
Oilcloths will last lo iger if one or two
layers of w added carpel -lining are laid un
der them.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over car-
, pets before sweeping, not only to freshen
the colors, but also to prevent the dust a-
rising,
A simple means of changing th: air of
a sickroom is to open a window at the top
and opening th door, move it backward

rent of fresh air from the window
Ham should be boiled very quickly, ami
just enough to cook through.

Cheese which w ill instantly and intense,
ly redden blue litmus paper should not be

Boiled custard requires patience and
can:. If the eggsreach the boiling point,
they will break, and yet if they do not
reach it within one or todegrees, the cus
tard will not thicken, and will taste raw,
and lack the exquisite thick smoothness of
well-made custard. To produce this, yet
avoid curdling, therefore, patience, and
proceed as follows: Stir the mixture over
a moderate fire. When you see from tne
end of the spoon that it begins to thicken at
the bottom draw It to a cooler spot where
It will not boil, stir half a minute, then re
turn to the hotter spot. Do this several
times, checking the approach to boiling
point each time there is danger, until the
whole of the mixture has reached that
point hlrh may be known by It being
rich, tMt k .-nd perfectly opaq"e.

Many people In Canada believe the pop
ulation ot that country is increasing very
slowlv, or not at all, owing to the removals,
chiefly of the young and enterprising, to
the United States. The agricultural pop
ulation of Canada does not increase at all.
What gjiln there is concentrates In cities.
In one county a recent canvass prelum -nary
to an election showed that 350 heads
of families had removed to thj United
Stales since 1SS6. The debt of C tn id 1 is
ncreaslng, while that of the United States
Is being paid off. Every year conditions
favor larger removals of Canadians to tnl s
country, and thtre is only an Imaginary
boundary for them to cros; to become
identified with the m -it pr.j-p.'ioui commonwealth.
The eleventh census will be much less
elaborate than the last, and, as a eor.se
qucncewill be more exact.Doing too much
has resulted in doing nothing well. The
final volumes of the tenth census have
only lately been published, and some of
the statistics gathered were so obviously
erroneous that thev were never put into
type. The new census commissioner
promises to give the whole census in ten
volumes, and to complete its publication
n 1S92. From debates in Congress it
seems likely he will be urged to adhere to
this excellent programme.
