A HINT FoR HOUSEWIVES ---ln summer
and autumn your soap grease Is apt TO accumu-
late beyond your immediate wants. If put
away it is apt to be devoured by maggots be-
fore soap making time arrives, and il made in
to soap. you may not have pine or other suit
able vessels to hold it. Having suffered loss
by being placed in such circumstances, we
were much gratifed with piece ofintelligehce
accidentally received, which relieved us from
disagreeable dilemma. By boiling good soft
soap with salt, about quart OF tue latter 10
three gallons Of the former, you can separate
water and I've enough 20 make the soap hard
After boiling half an hour, turn 1t into a TUT
to cool. Cut the soap which eools on the TOP
into pieces, and after seraping of the troth
from the bottom, melt again and pour into
moulds to cool. You may then, if not in cakes
small enough for convenience, cut smaller and
dry. By adding one fourth of pound of pull
verified rosn to two pounds of soap at the last
boiling, you will have the common yellow
soap ike that made for market, with hardly a
tithe ofexpense Families about emigrating to
tn 4ew regions OF The West, where markets
ave many miles away, would find it better to
make their soap fit for carriage in this way,
and take it with them, then to give il away,
or sell it for next to nothing.

THE PROPER TINE AND MODE FOR
Cutting FLOWERS

Never cut flowers during the intense SIM
shine, nor keep them exposed to the sun or
wind do not collect them in large bundles,
nor tie them tightly together, as this hastens
their decay DO not pull them, but cut them
cleanly off the plant with sharp knife, not
with pair of scissors. When taken indoors,
place them in the shade and reduce them o
the requi ed length Of stock with sharp knife,
by which means the tubes through which they
draw up the water are left open, and the Wa
ter is permitted to ascend freely, whel cas- If
the stems are bruised or lacerated, these pores
are closed up. Use pure water to set them in,
or pure white sand in a state of saturation,
sticking the ends of the stalk in it, but not in
crowded manner. lin water alone, II ought
to be changed daily, and thin slice should be
cut off the ends of the stalks at every change
of water. Water about milk-warm, or con-
tanning small quantity of camphor dissolved
in spirits of wine will often revive flowers that
have begun to fade. Place glass shade over
them during the night, or indeed at all such
times as they are not purposely exhibited.
Shade them from very bright sunshine, and
when uncovered, set them where they may not
be exposed to a draught of air. cool tenn
perature during summer is favorable for them,
and the removal Of the slightest symptoms OF
decay ia necessary. When taken to dis
lance, carry them in a shallow atr-ught tin
case, or cover them with paper to exclude
them from air and light. Charcoal saturated
with water is also good preservative for
sticking tAe- 4 in and the thinner they are kept
/ the better.
