HOW TO CHOOSE A SERVANT.

rts Looking For Places Should Alsc I Profit by IV I

. Vvlien a young woman applies Whose hair is untidy, who has a draggled feath er m her hat, whose dresa shows stains and lack of buttons, reject her. She will be careless and slovenly. When she comes arrayed m cheap -finery, holding one dirty kid glove, the ' mate of which she wears, her ungloved hand adorned with rings, a flimsy bit of !ace serving the place of % decent hat, re ect her. That young woman is lazy and mpudent. When she smiles m a superior way and assures you that she can do everything, dismiss her at once. She will do nothing well, When she tells you she has "lived m the best of places" and has "seven years' reference" from Mrs. Easy, but that the lady lives m the country now, she doesn't know exactly where, she has been dis missed for dishonesty. Reject her. When she wants a latchkey ? asks for "any evening you are not going out," says she has "always been used to com ! pany, of course," send her away. She will ' have noisy company six nights m the week, will stay out all night at many a "ball," and her moral character will prob ably disturb your tender conscience. When she is elderly and calls you "dear," speaks patronizingly and assures you you won't be bothered with any thing, when she comes dismiss her. She will, not accept a suggestion from you, while, if you venture to hint that the meat was underdone, she will give im mediate notice. When she makes a parade of being "willing to learn," have nothing to do with her. You will find she needs to learn everything. I have known such to be unable to bake potatoes. Reject the girl who asks questions. A question or two concerning her work or wages is of course perfectly proper. But when she asks three questions for one of yourslwhen she seeks to know your fam ily and private affairs, get rid of her at once.--That young woman does not know her place. But if a young woman,should apply »»ho is dressedmodestly and;3Q[eatiy, who speaks); quietly and respectfully, who waits>until you invite her to be seated, who-^gives some accessible address when you*ask^6r referende^who claims to be able todo her work :welss>ut admits that shetnay not know everything, who leaves her "day, out" and other privileges to yourconvenience," who*ans#§r& a|i ques tions, but asks few^or none, take her though she asks high wages. She will give you the peace of mind you have longed for.

How to Act In Cases of Poisoning. After poison of any kind has been tak en give an emetic at once, so as to pro duce vomiting. A dessertspoonful of ground mustard m a cup of warm wa ter, part of it to be taken at once, fol lowed by clear warm water, until free vomiting is started. A good way to pro voke the vomiting is to tickle the back of the throat with a feather. In all cases send for a physician without loss of time. How to Cure Freckles.

- ii4^ How to Getßid of EHes.~l ' ' • & "Ko, thank yoti, my dear, I do not want any fly papers v or ; fly traps about my house. I learned ;a great many years agx) that the more things•we^havp to call flies the more will come, tn the neighbor hood where flies were simpjy a nuisance I Eyed almost unmolested py them be cause I never permitted a particle of stale food to accumulate about the/premises. Flies, like a good many other things, will never "stay where they are m danger of starvation, and I never kept anything about the place to feed them with, not even fly paper. Everything that could not be burned was carried as far from the house as possible and buried. All gar bage is valuable as a fertilizer, and I utilize it as such. It is my opinion that every form of fly paper, fly poison and trap which is baited with any substance is just bo much inducement for them to stay around the house. They think—if flies can think at all—that they are going to get something to eat and therefore hang around. The best fly preventive is starvation."

POIt>>OMEO! " X report comes from the district of Wagunyah, N.8.W., of a fettler and his family exhibiting very serious symptoms of poisoning aT^er partaking of their evening meal. In searching for the cause, sus picion fell on the tea they had used. A sample token from a one pound tin m use was analysed and found to contain strong traces of muriatic artiri, the presence of which is caused by the u?e of spirits of sa'ta m welding the parts of tin together. "The analyst warns consumers that tea packed m small tins, owing to its very absorbent nature, is very liable to become ■< impregnated with this acid, and therefore dangerous for bun an consumption, and p-lvises that the very safest package to purchase is that packed m lead with an inside lining of vegetable parchment.

SAJNXMtfiJLf. Ac »ons JWuca- 1 lyjj>ti Extract. I Under the distinguished patronage of His I Majesty the King of Italy, aa per communioa- ' Dion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs j through the Consul-Gsneral for Italy, at i Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded | ■iiploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. * Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple dißtillafc.'on forming crude resinous oila. In ■irder thst these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI BXTHACT, which iB recognised by tho medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded fco us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, w© bate :— It is proved by testa by the Medical Cliaica of the Universities at Bonn and Graifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz,Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr; Mosßier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are (saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oila, or so callod Kucalypti Extracts are. to be classed according to tho named authorities, among the turponoinee, which are abandoned long since as an internal medicament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible:— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracb develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the preßenoe of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake m cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. — Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. SANDEK & RONS.
