NERVOUS PROSTRATION.

How to Prevent and Cure This Prev alent Affliction.

Heredity has much to do with nerv ous disorders. If one's ancestors have been a long lived race, phenomenal vi tality is often inherited, and with this aid much can be prevented or cured. If the opposite is the case, however, no pains should be spared m endeavoring as far as possible to counteract any pre disposition to disease. Of the methods by which nervous prostration can be prevented one of the most important is to have three good, varied and well cooked meals per day. Take plenty of time to eat them. No meal should be eaten m less than half an hour —or, bet ter still, even an honr, especially for Sinner. Good can be derived, too, from the surroundings and conditions tinder which the meal is taken. Food is worse than wasted which is taken into the system when laboring under great ex citement, grief, anxiety or other dis turbing conditions. Above all things avoid all highly seasoned foods—many of them are productive of far more harm than good. A proper amount of sleep at night time is another preventive. Take eight hours' sound sleep. By thia I do not mean merely eight hours m bed, but eight hours' restful sleep. If you do not fall asleep easily, or the sleep is broken or restless, or you lie awake for an hour or more after going to bed, yon should remain m bed ten hours. To endeavor to get along with less than the natural amount of sleep is simply courting nerv ous disorder. It has been found, too, that many people become broken down nervously because they are bored and worried by the vexaticii of a restless and purpose less life. Overwork is bad, but want of work is equally harmful. To worry and fret over trifles has undoubtedly a great deal to do with nervous depression. Every woman should get a certain amount of moderate exercise m the open air. It makes no difference what kind is taken so long as it exercises all the muscles and is not followed by 1 a sense of fatigue. The question is not what exercise you think you ought to have, but what you can endure. If you find you can only walk one hour each day without becoming fatigued, then that ia enough. If you cannot take much exercise, then walk half an hour, but if half an hour's exercise exhausts you so that yon do not quickly recover after a short rest then you are m need of a doctor.

How to Wash Chamois Gloves.

The proper way is to wash them m tepid water, taking care to nse plenty of white soap. They can either^ be washed on the hand ot off, though it is easier to get at them by wearing them and using a nailbrush. They should be rinsed m strong tepid soapsuds and not m clear water, because that takes out the oil and makes the gloves hard. The more they are washed the softer and finer they become. They shonld never be wrung out, bnt rather pressed out, and then they should be rolled m a dry towel. Keep changing the towel until all of the water is absorbed, and before the gloves are thoroughly dry put them on tho hands.

WATERPROOF VARNISH.

How to Prepare and Apply a Useful and Durable Article.

A good waterproof varnish for old umbrellas and storm coats is made of two parts of turpentine, three parts of linseed oil and one part of powdered litharge. Mix these ingredients to gether thoroughly and boil m a water bath—that is, m a vessel floating m boiling water—the same as the cabinet maker melts his glue. When the var nish is thoroughly boiled so that every part is dissolved, remove It from the stove and apply with a brush while warm. It should be painted over tho article to be varnished with 4he same care as if it were paint. If It is an umbrella, open it wide and spread the varnish smoothly. After it has dried a second coat may be applied if needed. When the varnish has dried, it will not be stiff and cracky, but will show great elasticity. This varnish can be employed m a great variety of ways. Ordinary cloth can be varnished with it two or three times, and it will be waterproof and almost as serviceable as oilskin or waterproofing cloth. Old rubber coats that have begun to leak can be renewed by giving them a painfc. ing with this waterproof varnish. It can be kept on hand for a long time for general use. All that is needed when required "for some special work is to heat it up again to the proper temperature.—New Voice.

Stretch the stained portion of the fabric over a small basin and pour some of the liquid over it. If the satin has been recently made, it will soon disappear, but if the linen has already been washed it will probably be nec essary to repeat the process several times, and the fabric should be very gently rubbed now and then. When the mark is no longer visible, rinse the linen at once m hot water and then wash it well with soft soap and hot water and let it dry m the sun.
