If something unforeseen interfered with your plans for repapering some of your rooms this spring, try clean- ing the old paper. First brush the walls with a broom covered with soft outing flannel or old underwear. You will then he ready for further cleaning. Stale bread is the old-time material for cleaning papered walls, and it does very well, too. Cut the bread in gen- erous slices, take one of the slices in your hand, and begin at the top of the wall, rubbing (not too hard) in even, downward strokes, taking a strip about three feet wide and about the same in depth, and so go all around the room. Then begin where you started, taking a similar strip, and going around the room again, until the walls are clean. Look at the bread now and then, for it will get dirty, in which condition it is likely to smear the paper; cut off the soiled part as it becomes unfit to use. Rub gently, with downward strokes only. The modern cleaner A more mod- ern cleaner is made of one part of sal ammoniac and four parts of rye flour. Make into a dough with cold water. This dough must be made stiff, and is used by taking a small lump of it in the hand, as with the bread, and rub- bing the wall as described; now and then work the dough in the hands in. order to avoid rubbing the paper with; a soiled part. Another cleanser may be made with borax and wheat flour. In a shallow, two-quart vessel put a pint of water and one-half ounce of powdered borax ; bring the water to a boil quick- ly, and while it is boiling stir in a pound of good pastry flour. Let the paste remuin on the stove until the mass is thoroughly cooked, then put it on a clean board and work it as bread dough is kneaded. Do this for a few minutos, when it will be ready for use. If you find that it crumbles, it either contains too much borax or too little water. If it is sticky, it should have more flour worked in. Use as the other two cleansers are used. Slight blemishes on wall paper may he removed with ap aste made by mix- ing calcined magnesia or carbonate of magnesia, with cold water; apply to the spots with a soft brush, coating rather heavily. When it is dry it can be removed with a sharp knife. Removing mold Mold on wall paper can be removed with a solution of one part of salicylic acid and four parts of alcohol. Apply with a soft brush. In stone farmhouses the walls will sometimes show great patches of mold ; but if they are brushed off and the paper is wiped with a dry clean cloth, scarcely any stain will remain. This must be done when the mold is dry. The mold will return, but can be removed again. Soiled places on ingrain and other paper of that class are easily removed with an eraser. Sponge rubber is especially useful in cleaning off smoke and dirt. If there are paint spots or other spots hard to remove, take a small piece of very fine sandpaper and gently rub the part. Still other forms of disfigurement may be removed by passing the palm of the hand back and forth over the part, the slight friction sufficing to take away some slight blemishes, where sandpaper might be too rough. A break or tear In wall paper can be made less notice- able if the bare or broken spot is colored to match the paper. For ool- ' orinfr, tve water-color paints or color-) ed crayons.

Dur- ing her interview with the hcurt mas- ter, whom she embarrassed and im- preesed with her grandeur, the poor man remarked, "Madam, you remind me of the Queen of Sheba." "Really," said the lady. "I had no idea she had a boy in this school." Both Old-Fashioned. An old physician of the last genera- tion was noted for his brusque manner and old-fashioned methods, says the Edingurgh Scotsman. On one occa- sion a woman called him in to treat her baby, who was slightly ailing. The doctor prescribed castor oil. "But, doctor," protested the young mother, "castor oil is sucih an old-fashioned remedy." 'Madame," replied the doc- tor, "babies are old-fashioned things." Behaving Mannerly at Table. "My dear," said a tiboughtful lady, addressing a small boy who with hia parents was a guejst at her table, "wouldn't you like to have your meat cut up for you?" "Oh, no, thank you," replied the boy with great politeness, though 1 >> did not look up or desist from his deter- mined struggle with his helping of beef. "We often have meat as tough as this at home." "To beilieve your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for aU men tliat is genius.
