Kettles or basins containing 1‘01'1190, as apples or potato pairings, skins of tomatoes, scraps from the table, etc., should not be allowed to stand around hour after hour in the kitchen until the Whole is a. seething mass of fermentation. Many cooks are extremely careless in this matter; it is a little trouble to go to the rear and empty the refuse into a garbage lmx m- bin. The practice in some Boiled starch is much improved by the addition of a little sperm salt or gum arable dissolvtd. Beeswax and salt will make rusty flat irons as clean and smooth as glass.

News is to hand from two indepen- dent sources, says South Africa, of an extraordinary adventure that re- cently befol! Mr. Dickert, a farmer living some 15 miles from Malindi Siding, on tho Wankies line. Mr. Dickert went to bed at 10 o’clock and was just going to sleep when he heard what he thought was a pig grunting and sniiiing outside the door. He got up and stepped outâ€" side to call his dogs, when he was seized by a lion. He shouted, and hungry animal had evidently been waiting. Mr. Dickert was badly scratched and had his arm lacerated where the lion seized him. Though sufficiently serious at the time, he now looks upon the adventure as one of the most novel of his experiences. the Gwaai. Further up the line, in the direc- tion of the Zambesi, the lions ap- pear to be much more numerous. Not long since the native commissioner at. Matetsi is reported to have had fifteen head of live stock killed in broad daylight by nine lions which were hunting together. Quite lately two or three lions have been seen close to the Victoria Falls, on the south side of the river, but, for, the reassurance of visitors. it may be mentioned that they only appeared at night and were exceed- ineg shy of any human being. At Dett, which is on the same line of railway, a. few weeks ago the remains were found of a white man who could not be identified and who appeared to have been killed and partly eaten by lions. Another European when accosted for travelling without a. ticket hast- ily left the train in the same dis- trict, made. 011‘ in the darkness and has not been seen since. 'All of which shows that there is plenty of work awaiting the sportsman, even in southern Rhodesia. More children die during the hut weather months than at any other season of the year. Their vitality is then at its lowest ebb, and an at- tack of diarrhoea, cholera. infantum or stomach trouble may prove fatal in a. few hours. For this reason no home in which there are young child- ren should be without a. box of Baby’s Own Tablets, which promptly cure all stomach and bowel trouâ€" bles. If the Tablets are given to a. well child they will preVent these ail- ments and keep the little one well and strong. Mrs. Joseph T. Pigeon, 13ryson, Que, says: "My little one was attacked with colic and diarrhâ€" oea, and I found Baby’s Own Tah- lets so satisfactory that I would not now be without them in the house." These Tablets not only cure summer troubles, but all the minor ailments that afflict infants and young child- ren. They contain no opiate or harmful drug, and may be given with equal safety to the new born baby or well grown child. There, are imiâ€" tations of the medicine and mothers should see that the words "Baby's Own Tablets" and the fourâ€"leaf c1!)â€" ver with child's head on each leaf is found on the wrapper around each box.
