It is said that a good portion of the people who wear glasses could have avoided doing so had they been careful in youth of their eyesight. A strong infusion of tea, when cold, makes a splendid eye tonic because the tannic acid is an excellent astringent. as-tringent. For daily use, however, a solution of boracic acid and distilled water will keep the eyes clear and brilliant. Puffiness under the eyes is often due to inflammation of the lower lid. Pull the lid down and if it is red and inflamed you will know they need attention. Purchase a glass eye cup, fill it half lull of salt water, about as salty as tears. Lean the head forward, for-ward, fit the cup to the eye socket, hold it firmly, throw back the head, and open and close the eye ten times. This will wash the eyes, rest them and reduce the Inflammation. Boracic acid, ten grains to the ounce of distilled dis-tilled water Is very good and can be used in the same way. Some uses for salt are herewith set forth by Cook. Salt puts a fire out in a chimney. Inhaled in solution it cures cold in the head. In whitewash white-wash it makes it stick. Salt and soda are excellent for stings. Salt, used as a gargle, will cure soreness of the throat. Used in sweeping carpets it keeps out moths. Salt thrown on a coal tire, which is low, will revive it. Salt and vinegar will remove stains from discolored teacups. Salt thrown on soot which has fallen on a carpet will prevont stains. i Salt put on ink when freshly spilled will help in removing the stain. Never salt meat then has to be grilled, as it helps to harden the fibres of tho meat and tends to extract the juices. Salt It on the platter before sending it to the table. KNITTED SCARF WRAP. A pretty little shoulder wrap or new design will be just tho thing for catchup work this Summer on the i porch. The wrap is merely a knitted Bcarf, about twenty inches wide and long enough to stretch from wrist to wrist when the arms are extended out at tho sides. When tho long scarf has been completed com-pleted in an ordinary loose knitting stitch, with zephyr worsted and a thread of silk to glvo it that brilliant bril-liant effect, which Is so attractive in a worsted garment, tho sideB are attached to knitted cuffs, which are done In a ribbed stitch, so that while elastic they cling around tho wrists rather closely. When the scarf is thrown around the shoulders the hands arc thrust through tho ribbed wristlets and one has a cozy wrap, very light, yet quite enough covering for Summer evening. even-ing. These wraps are charming in palo pink, pale blue or lavender, and they are very easy to make, BERRIES SERVED TOGETHER. Red raspberries and blackberries go extremely well together, as the tart blackberry gives a touch of snap to the mild raspberry, and tho two flavors blend nicely. Huckleberries and currants combine well, and both these combinations are decorative as to color scheme. WEIGHTS FOR DOILIES. The doiHe3 which are used on tho Sumhmor porch, as covers for the sandwiches, cake and pitcher of iced drinks, can bo most attractively weighted by beads so that they will not be carried away or misplaced by a breeze. If the doily is square, a cluster of porcelain beads fastened in each corner cor-ner of the cover will be sufficient. If the doilies are embroidered, colors matching the embroidery should be used. One orange and two bluo beads on a blue and white dolly would be most attractive. Some of the new doilies Intended j Cor this purpose have a simple f crocheted edge, the beads being caught in the crocheting as the work I proceeds. I nn I |
