plan to put new earthen-ware into the water,
and let it heat gradually until it boils-then
cool again. Brown earthenware particularly,
may be toughened in this way A handful of
wheat Or rye grain, thrown in while boiling,
will preserve the glazing so that it will not be
destroyed by acid or salt-Clean a brass ket-
tie, before using it for cooking with salt and
vinegar.-The oftener carpets are shaken, the
longer they will wear. The dirt that collects
under them grinds out the threads-If you
wish to preserve fine teeth, always clean them
thoroughly after you have eaten your last meal
at night. Woolen should be washed in very
hot suds, and not rinsed. Lukewarm water
shrinks woolen goods-Never allow ashes to
be taken up in wood or put into wood. AL
ways have your matches and lamp ready for
use in case of sudden alarm.-Haye important
papers all together, where you can lay your
hands on them at once in case of fire. Do

How TO CHOOSE A HUsBAND-Never marry
a man until you have seen him eat. Let the
candidate for your hand pass through the ordeal
of eating soft-boiled eggs If he can do it
and leave the table spread, the napkin and his
shirt unspoted-take him. Try him next with
a spare-rib If he accomplishes this feat
without putting out one of his own eyes, or
pitching the bones into your lap, then name
the wedding-day at once he will do to tie to.
