Dusty rims round ornaments proclaim a careless Housekeeper. The best plan is to have the first duster slightly damp, and finish off with a dry one. \Vx'ing out the duster in a bucket of warm water constantly. To wash windows easily add a few drops of kerosene or paraffin to some clean hot water (as hot as can be Used). The kerosene evaporates, carâ€" rying the moisture with it, and the glass is cleansed with half the usual trouble and looks brighter. To clean the coffee pot fill it with Water, put in a pinch ol borax and a. piece of hard soap, and set on the stove, leaving it boil for half an hour. It will be as bright as new and should be submitted to this treatment frequently. For a. shampoo mixture. Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of pure soft soap (bought of a chemist) in half a pint of hot Water. When cold, add the juice of one lemOn and a few drops of essence of lavender. Keep this tightly corked for use. Half an hour once a week should be spent in manicuring the nails if the hands are to have a well-cared ap- pearance.

In other words, according to his view of the matter, a horseâ€"shoe is simply a piece of iron of graceful shape and convenient form, common- ly pierced with seven nail~holes (a mystic number). and therefore an alâ€" together suitable talisman to be af- fixed to the door of dwelling or stable in conformity with a venerable cus- ton sanEtioned Ask a Turkish Mohammedan {or information on the subject, and he will tell you that it is because they are in form like $0 a crescent, the sacred emblem of Islam. A Polish Jew will explain that at the Passover, the blood sprinkled upâ€" on the lintel and doorâ€"posts, in the manner directed by their ritual, forms the chief points of an arch. Hence, obviously, the value of arch-shaped talismans, such as horse-shoes are. The stolid and unimaginative Rus sian peasant, on the other hand, mnintfiins that the luck associated with the horseâ€"shoe is due chiefly to the metal, irrespective of its shape, iron being traditionally a charm wherewith to nullify the malevolent designs of evil spirits and goblins. In Italy, in the Middle Ages, it be- came customary to place a crescent- shar-od hood or brass noon the heads of the statutes of saints expose'd in the own, as a protection from snow and rain. Hence arose the practice of they nail them up over their doors as a charm against evil spirits, because of the close resemblance that exists between its share and the arched body of the sacred snake. Nagendra, one of their principal deities, Ever since horse-éhocs have been horseâ€"shoes they have been accounted lucky emblems by all peoples, races, and nations, that have been acquaint- ed with their use. This much is cerâ€" tain. But why it should be so it is hard to determine, since almost evâ€" erywhere a different reason is given for clierishing the belief. The Cingalese, for instance, say A Severe Sufferer Tells How He Overcame the Trouble. "Not only do I not hesitate to dc» clare the benefit I have received from Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, but I feel it my duty to do so.” rI‘hese are the words which Mr. Edward Lavoie, of St .Jerome, Que, lately addressed to the editor of L’Avenir du Nord, when relating the story of his cure. Mr. Lavoie is well known in St. Jerome, and what he says carries Weight among those who know him. For a considerable time he was a. great sufferer from dyspepsia, which caused severe headaches. pains in the stomach and sometimes nausea. Sometimes he felt. as though he would suflocute, he would become dizzy ,and experienced ringing noises in the ears. His appetite became poor, and his general health so bad that lie found it almost impossible to work, and when the headaches at- tacked him he had to quit work. For six months, he says, he suffered both physically and mentally more than can be imagined. During this time he took medicine from several doctors, but found no help. Then one day he read of the cure of a simâ€" ilar case through the use of Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Pink I’ills, and decided to try them. He used the pills for a couple of months, and they have made him feel like a. new person. He is no longer troubled with any of the old symptoms, and says he can now go about his work as though he never had dyspepsia. The digestive organsâ€"like all the other organs of the bodyâ€"get their strength and nourishment from the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills acâ€" tually make new blood. This new blood strengthens the stomach, stim- ulates the liver, regulates the bowâ€" els and sets the whole digestive sys- tem in a healthy, vigorous state. Good blood is the true secret of good health. That is why Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills always bring good health to those who use them.

In Pliny's Lime horseâ€"shoes were used in the Camoania to secure the inmates of the dwellings from the visitations of nocturnal prowling spir- it§, exactly as they are toâ€"day. The origin of this particular belief is referable to the old legend of St. Dunstan. This versatile English ecâ€" ‘clesiastic was a skilled farrier, and Tone day while at work in his forge the Evil One. entered in disguise and requested Dunstan to shoe his “single hoof.” The Saint, although he at ‘once recognized his malign customer, ‘acceded, but caused him so much pain during the operation that Satan beg- ged him to desist. This Dunstan did, but only after he had made the Evil One promise that neither he, nor any of the lesser evil spirits, his set- vants, would ever molest the inmates of a house where a horseâ€"shoe was displayed. In Thuringia horseâ€"shoes are used for a like purpose, and a. similar legend is told to account for the cus- tom, but the fastidiousness of these forest-bred folk is not content with an ordinary shoe. In order to serve as a talisman it must be specially forged on St. John's Em by a young bachelor of wholesome life and unâ€" blemished character. The tenacity of some of the cusâ€" toms that cling round t1): normâ€"shoe is no less remarkable than their na- ture and their origin. For more than five hundred years the inhabitants of Horse-shoe Corner, Lancaster, nailed a new shoe evcuy seven years on a certain spot in the MDDLE OI“ THE STREET. Such is the story as told by the folk-lore-loving' peasantry of the west; but many authorities on Irish legenâ€" dary lore insist that the real reason of the always'devout Irishman's be 1in in the beneficent powers of the emblem in question lies in the fact of the horse and the ass having been in the stable where Christ was born, and hence being ever more blessed ani- mals. The whole island was once submerg- ed in the sea, out of which it only rose once in seven years, and then only for a very short time. Many attempts had been made to break the spell and induce the country to re- main permanently abox'e the Waters, but all were vain, until one day a daring afisenturer threw a horseâ€"shoe from a boat on to the topmost peak of the Wicklow Movntains, just as they were disappearing beneath the waves. depths into which‘it had just sunk. And it has been dry landâ€"more or Ies%e\'er shoe. IN ENGLAND, up to within comparatively recent. times, horse-shoes were extensively used almost everywhere as anti-witch charms; and the custom is not even yet an extinct one. No Witch, it used to be said, could enter a buildâ€" ing 0391‘ the door 01‘ which a horseâ€" shoeâ€"or, better still, three horse- shcosâ€"llad been affixed, prongs down- wards. Very dichrcnt is the story by which the Irishman seeks to account for his liking for the same talismanic symbol. The name "Irinland" or “Ireland,” lie will tell you, originated as fol- lows: Then, at last, was the bane re- moved.

Then they roasted it, and afterwards beat it attempted to eat it, tried to soften it by boiling it in Water. Then they roastvd it, and afterwards beat it with stones. While thus engaged, the Evil One, who had been watching them, asked them suddenly WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
