CoMPLExroN.-H -four of sulphur be mixed
in little milk, and after standing an hour or
two, the milk tsiihout disturbing the sulphur
be rubbed into the skin, it will keep it soft
and make the complexion clear. 1t is TO be
used before washing. A lady OF our acquaint-
ance, being exceedingly anxious about her
complexion, adopted the above suggestion
In about fortnight shs wrote to us to say
lhat the mixture became 50 dsagreeable after
it had been made few days that she could
not use it. We should have wondered If she
couid-ahe milk became patrid. A little Of
the mixture should have been prepared over
night with evening milk, and used the next
morning, but not afterwards. About a wine
glaasful made for each occasion would suffice
DIAMOND CENENr.-Seak isinglass in water
till it is soft, then dissolve in it the smallest
possible quantity of proof spirit, by the aid
of gentle heat in two ounces OF this mix

rectIy. The cement improves the ofener the
bottle is thus warmed and resists the action
Of water and moisture perfectly.
To PRESERVE STEEL GoaDs From Rusr.-
After bright CRATES have been thoroughly
cleaned, they should be busted over with un-
sIaked lime, and thus left until wanted. All
the coils Of piano wires are thus spFinked
ara will keep from rust many years. Table
kuives which are not in constant use, ought 10
be put in case in which siftcd qgcklime is
placed about eighr inches deep. They should
be plunged to the top OF ths blades, but the
lime should not touch the handles.

DOMESTIC YEAST.-Ltdie who are in the
habit (and most audable AMI comfortable
habit It is) of making d)mastic brea'i, cake

ple suggestions are worthy Of observation
! Add one ounce OF alum to the last water used
to rinse chldren's dresses, and they will b.
rendered unnAamable, or so slightly combust
BILE that they would take fire very slowly, If a
all. and would not fame. This is u simple pre-
caution which may be adopted in families o
children. Bed curtains, and linen in general
NAV also be treated ID the same way.

made by dissolying shellac in napIha is dearer
soon dries up, aud has an unpleasant smell.
