Spadng has sold two millions of bottles of his cele
brated Prepared Glue aud It is estimated that each
bottle saves at least ten dollars worth of broken fur

he proposes to do the world still greater service
by curing all tue aching beds with his Cephalic Pills.
and if thcy are s good as his Glue, Headaches will
soon vanish away like snow in July.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

INTERESTING TO WIvEs.-As general
rule it is most economical to buy the bSo
articles. The price is, of course, alwaD
higher; but good articles spend best. It'd
a sacrifice Of money to buy poor cheeA
lard, etc., to say nothing of the injurious Z
feet upon health.
Of the West India sugar and molasses thO
Santa Cruz and Porto Rico are considersD
the best. The Havana is seldom clean-
White sugar from Brazil is sometimO
very good.
Refined sugar usually contains most of ttO
saccharine substance; there is probably
more economy in using loaf, crushed an
granulated sugars, than We should first SUP
pose.
Butter that is made in September ag
October is the best for winter use. LaD
should be hard and white and that whiA
is taken from hog not over year old 10
best.
Rich cheese feels softer under the pressure
of the finger Tha: which is very strong
is neither very good nor healthy. To keep
one that is cut, tie it up in bag that will
not admit flies, and hang it in cool dry
place. Ifmold appears on it, wipe it of with
a dry cloth.
Flour and meal of all kinds should bs
kept in cool, dry place.
The best rice is large and has clear
fresh look. Old rice sometimes has little
black insects inside the kernels.
The small white sago, called the pearl
sago is the best. The large brown kind has
an earthly taste. This article and tupoca,
ground rice, etc., should be kept covered.
To select nutmegs, prick them with pin.
If they are good, the oil will instantly spread
around the puncture.
Keep coffee by itself, as the odor affects
other articles. Keep tea in close chest or
canister.
Oranges and lemons keep best wrapped
close in soft paper and laid in drawer of
of linen.
The cracked cocoa is best; but that which
is put up in pound papers is often very good.
Soft soap should be kept in dry place in
the cellar, and not be used until three months
old.
TO thaw frozen potatoes. put them in hot
water.
10 thaw frozen apples, put them in cold
water. Neither will keep after being frozen.
