How to Keep Them Clean and la Good Health. Here are a few words on the general care of a collie dog given by a writer In Recreation: Iu all favorable weather wash the dog om-e a month and In puuiuier once eacu week, teed mm twice dally of -ouked food.

Do not keep him too fat. Good muscular condition and a smart, alert collie are not the result of too iuu-h feed. Once a week give hlui a tea spoonful of powdered sulphur iu a pan with some milk. It keeps his blood in fine condition. Use a medicated animal soap wht'U washing him.

Disinfect the ken-m-1 with crude carttolic add once a month. Iu fall and winter, when washing Is oufc of the question, owing to the unfavorable weather, tjst him through all his dense cosit with a tobacco dust powdor. It is a Cue method of keeping his t-kiu clcau and Insects off after contact willi other dog. Have Lim cllp-jkhI In summer, if convenient, and let him go on the vacation with you. He will love the water, and it will be a sin to leave him home.

"Once owner of a collie, always an owner," is an old but true saying. No circumstances will preveut the keeping of a collie after they have once won you. We kuow the truth of this in a dozen instances. They are the pride of every one who possesses them and will always be first In the heart of a strong man or woman who is fond of the dumb but true. liow to Clean Cloven at Home.

With the fashion now so much Iu vogue of wearing long mousquetaire gloves many people have lecoinc their own glove cleaners, and the following hints for cleaning should prove useful, says the Washington Star. For colored kid gloves this simple method is recommended: First put them on the hands and pour some gasoline (rectified petroleum) Into a deep saucer, and proceed to wash the gloves in this. Wipo the gloves with a piece of flannel, letting them dry on the hands, taking care not to approach a firo or gas lest the gasoline should ignite. When quite dry lay the gloves in the "sun. For white kid gloves cream of tartar Is a good thing with which to rub them, when they will look like new.

Or another plan Is to use a piece of flannel dipped iu benzine. This, when nearly dry, should be rubbed on the gloves. After this operation rub them again with breadcrumbs until all stains and dirt are removed, changing the crumbs ns Boon as they become soiled. Fuller's earth is excellent for cleaning suede gloves. Tut the gloves on the hands and rub the earth In well with a small soft brush.

An old nail or tooth brush answers the purpose admirably. Sonic people use a mixture of the earth and powdered alum In equal quantities, lastly, white suede gloves are best cleaned with dry pipeclap. How to Dry the Hair Troperly. More important, perhaps, than the washing Is the drying of the hair. This should Ik: done with warm, soft towels, says the New York Journal.

Never use Turkish towels, as they are very opt to tangle the hair and catch it In their meshes, thus pulling it out They are more apt also to leave lint on the hair than are towels with a smooth surface. Always dry your hair In the sun, as this gives a gloss and sheen that can be obtained In no other way. Let the direct rays fdiine uioii It and never put it up until It is as dry as it was- before you washed it. Wetting the hair to make It smooth is very opt to cause decomposition at the roots and Is a very bad practice. Water is not a good dressing for the hair.

In drying the hair It Is well to grasp It by the ends and Phake it In this way the moisture is more quickly evaporated. Massage of the scalp during the process of drying Is also beneficial. How to Clean a Coat Collar. Nothing looks worse thau a greasy edge to a coat collar. Here Is a recipe for removing spots or marks of that description, says the Boston Traveler: Take equal parts of soft soap and fuller's earth well mixed and beaten together with a little spirits of turieti-tine; make it Into a kill and when required for use either dip It in hot water or moisten the part of the garment to be cleaned; nib the ball in and then let It dry, afterward wiping over quickly with a cloth dipped in hot water until all the soap is removed; dry the spiit thoroughly with a clean cloth.

How to Bottle Lemon alee. To keep lemon juice ready for use squeeze but the juice in the usual manner, strain free from pulp and pits, add white powdered sugar in the proportion of one pound to a pint of juice, stir it until the swgar Is quite dissolved, then put it awny iu very small bottles, says the Boston Traveler. Put a teaspoonful of salad oil In the top and cork it close. When wanted for use take out the cork carefully and take up the oil with a bit of cotton wool. To use for lemonade, add one large tablespoonful to a gill of water.

Few people realize the amount ol care and attention that a piano needs in the summer time, says the Boston Traveler. In closing a house for tiit summer It Is often considered unnecessary to do more than shut down the top of the piano, without taking anj precaution against dust, moths aiii dampness. Then people wht it sounds muffled and out of tune in the fall.

In closing a piano for any le-ini'l' Of time It should 1e thoroughly dusuvl Inside as well as out. With a soft brush every particle of dust should carefully removed from the strings and felts and other interior portions ol the mechanism. For the beuelit of the moths fill a small muslin bast with guin cauipboi and hang It Inside the case If it is flu upright piano or lay It underneath the strings if it Is a grand. The keys should be covered with several layerj of white tissue paper not only to keep out dust, but to prevent the Ivory from becoming yellow. As an extra precaution newspapers should be placed ovei the strings and the piano completely covered, If possible, with a rubbei spread having a flannel lining.

If a piano Is to be used all summer, quite as much care Is necessary. It should be always kept closed except when actually iu use. When there has been a succession of damp, muggy days, advantage should be taken ofthe first sunny days and the piano left open, with the strings exposed, so that It may thoroughly dry out, for dampnesi makes the keypstiek, muffles the ton and Is the cause of other ailments to which a piano Is liable. Portable Rotary Hand Saw. A patent has recently been secured on a portable handsaw with revolving blade.

This saw may be used for cutting grooves of any desired depth In THE KOTABT HAND SAW. places where an ordinary saw cannot be conveniently used, for example, In cutting grooves In window sills for various kinds of weather strips or for cutting grooves in floors at the lower end of a partition. The saw Is secured by a nut to the end of an axle which Is mounted to turn In a suitable hub. Secured to the hub Is a guard which covers the saw. To this guard a handle Is attached.

The guard Is adjustably mounted on a bracket by means of bolts engaging slots therein and thus permitting the saw to be set for the desired depth of cut. As a means for revolving the saw the Inventor proposes to use a small electric motor mounted on the device and coupled to the axle. Steam Driven Plowa In Ea-ypt. Steam driven plows are now being used in Egypt because of the scarcity of cattle, formerly used as the motive power. Literally Translated.

On visiting Ireland the great traveler Livingstone was much feted. In Dublin at a dinner party he happened to be placed next to a literary lady who was a very stout woman. She worried him greatly about the language of the savage cannibals among whom he Lad managed to live and wanted to know the sound of their language. lie spoke a sentence of It to satisfy her, and she answered.
