Let me Bee, where had I got to in our spring campaign . The blinds I think, were renovated and we were at liberty to turn our attention to the if all papers, these may have been more or less damaged. If yoa do not wish to incur ths expense of repapering jou can mend any unsightly soars, by getting 80m© paper of some pattern—or very near it; do not paste the new pieces over the wounds, in neat squares and oblongs, but after chosiog a pieca con iiderably larger than the place to bo mended. Take your scissors and sc.llop the edges, following here and there the design of the paper, of a flower or spray of leaves or scroll as the case may be, then proceed to paste and place this sticking plaster on tho woanded wall there is a good ileal of ambulance work In house-keeping. If, as sometime. happens in a nutsery or much used dining room, the paper is badly broken .ill routtd the lower part while as good as new above, you cannot do bettor than buy _ good wall p*per dado, and renew the walla with that \ you will be sur prised at the wonderful improvement it will make, whilft saving tho expense »nd trouble of wholly rpp»f>ori*ig the room. This being done, rehang y >ur pictures— if you can afford it—get one or twn new onifl and arrange the others in different order—place tfatm iv different rooms. Even this may seem a trifling detail,but it is one that ensures a pleasing little change whioh is one of the cheap and easy methods ol making home attrac fcfve. The blinds renewed, the walls neatly patched, the oarpet relaid, pictures rehung, and a little wise ex penditure made upon fresh decorations, ft bright cushion, a new he.rthrng, a new engraving or photogravure the furniture neatly polished, we may pro is ounce these apartment, done—close them carefully and use them as little as possible, until all tbe rest of the bouse is furnished, Now you are at liberty to attack your dining room and drawing room—here probably the fur niture polishing is tha most formidable task, for this you cannot have anything better than the old fashioned mixture patronised by our great grandmother?, beeswax and turpentine j melt 2os.s of beeswax by the fire, into* this pour fp. ftarpentine, place in a wide bottle, shake well, apply with a clean piece oi flannel rag y do not put on too much at a time, and rob off as quickly as pos iible with a soft duster j remember, it ia the rubbing, as well as the '* paste' which produces the polish 5 for French polished furniture, finish with an old silk handkerchief, and rub until not a smear is left behind ; aa physical exer cise, this task will rival the drill of onr most expert gymnists. It developes tbe muscles of the arms and shoul ders, and promotes healthy respira tion. If your dining room chairs are covered with Morocco or leather, it can fee nicely cleared by merely wiping it carefully with a damp wash leather, if it is battened down in littlo hollows tad theie bave been neglected, take a painters small brush and brush them oat. Should your dining room be covered with wax cloth or linoleum, you willfind your comfort in it greatly increased, by having one of these artistic carpet squares spread beneath the table, they are manufactured now of such a light 'mak',' that thrre is _.b_oJu_oly no trouble in Jlftina; them and.bhaking them every mornin^—if UectS-ary—before sweeping the room, but, every other morning should be gufßc-ent, If you can reserve your dining room for its purpose do not fill it up with furniture nor crowd it with ornaments. One good s'de board if possible, if not a neat cupboard in a recess finished with a mirror above, makes a good substitute Never allow the top of thia cupboard or sideboard to be strewn with books and papers, and sewing baskets, and old let'em, and photographs, and all tbe domestic litter, which seem to drift as naturally | to snob places of refuge, as a snow j wreath against a hedge row; Find/ places for this inevitable household drift. If you hampered for room have a strong bracket in a corner for your work basket,, make an ornamental newspaper sicbet, for the newspapers and?magazine, which are being read—rigorously banish the dis carded ones to the waste-paper basket, or better still send them to the Old Men's Home. Nothing spoils the appearance of a room more—even of one very well furnished, than to see the top of tbe sewing machine, and the side-board, and the piano, covered with "matter out of place" Now, every room ia the house ought to have Its order supply of pins, its order supply of matches • they can have, most tasteful receptacles and so b& aa additional ornament even in aft trabo fately appointed drawi_g,_oom, I think, everyone mv.st at some time, have experienced, t t he. ainoyance oc casioned by havjng, te-seek all over the 'home for one or. other of these neces sary article?,, time and temper lost, i When a little fore-thought* and place finding,.on the part of the niistn..* of the house would have preserved both, Indeed, anyone who- ondertakes to *• a mistress of a bouse and expe^' Jta abe medium success, shouldor ' -tS t0 (bat she most be a legis'- ..derstand pardoD, a legislatrice^ -a'tor (beg her tratrice, and a fir>' , and an adminia ing and abl** .-*nc-erice, and a will wonder f __, maid of all work—no pjppp.- v man y prefer to be self .ting poor dears.

Rheumatism Two Bottles Make a Complete Cure. Perhaps your rheumatism is not bad enough to confine you to tho bed; yet your muscles and bones ache every time a storm approaches, making you generally miserable. Wo can bring you positive and prompt relief. Mrs. Isabella Menzies, of Gisborne, New Zealand, sends this letter and her photograph: "I took a hard cold which resulted in a severe attack of rheumatism. I tmd all kinds i of remedies without relief. Then j. tried | Sarsaparilla I was not disappointed, for after taking only two bottles tho rheumatism all left mo and I was cured. 1 want to do every thine; 1 can to make known what a wonderful medicine your Sarsaparilla is for those Buffering the severe pains of rheumatism." To make a quick cure, take Ayer's Pills with tho Sarsaparilla. They make the liver active, cure biliousness and constipation. P«sm.__ by Dr. J. C Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass., V. S.
