4 USEFUL On hr.-Thc Rou,rUy
7iylcS says that Il useful cement for clos
ingu cracks in stove plates. stOvc-doOrs
etc. is prepared by mixing finely pull
reriZed iron, such as can be secured at
he druggists, with liquid sWatCT-@laSS,
b Il thick paste, and then coating the
5eTacks with it. The hotter the fire then
becomes, the more docs the cement melt
and combine with its metal Ingredients,
aud the more completely viii the crack
become closed.
To MAKE HENs PRODUCTNE.-TwO
quarts of hot water one pound of Indi-
an meal. and'a quarter of Il pound of I'M
bOlted wheat Hour, will make more eggs
when fed warm to hens, than twice the
amount of @rain-
To CLEAN GOLD CHAINS ~ Two MIN
UTEs.-Put the chain in a small glass
bOttleHgith warm water or eau-de col
Ogne, alittlC camphorated chalk; scrape
in some soap. Cork the bottle and shake
it for minute violently. The friction
against the glass polishes the gold.
To REMOVE OLD IRON MoULD.-Iti is
recommended that the part stained
should be remoistened with ink, and
this removed by the use of muriatic
weight of water, when it will be found
that the old and.new stain will be re-
moved simultaneously.
Bleeding from the nose is always re
1arded as an unW2lcome event, yet, i'll
the opinion of DIR. Hall. it always is
beneficial, preventing headache or more
serious illness, and sometimes arreStinG
-apOpleXy and sudden death. Therefore
it should be Immediately arrested. When
the nose threatens to bleed excessively,
it can sometimes be arrested by putting
thC.fcct in hot water, OF by applying Il
mustard plaster between the shoulders.
CHEAT MUsQUITO BAR-ThCrC is Il
cheap mosquito bar in vogue among the
plantation hands and bOatmen in some
parts of the South, which answers every
purpose to the letter; it IS common coal
oil. a small quantity Is dropped on 4
piece of cotton and then squeezed out a.
dry as possible; after which the cotton
is rubbed over the face and hands. No
been left. | have tried il and then eN-
posed myself to clouds of them on Vari-
Gus occasions without experiencing the
least dnOyancc. Thousands would hoy
or within an inch 0fmy face, and sing
by the hour, but none WOulC dare touch.

STEWED BEEF.-IIUuscwiVce who are
in the habit Of using only steaks and
roasts, make great mistake. y capital
dish may be made out of the chuck,
as the butchers call il, or the neck, when
well prepared. Select Il piece OF meat a.
large rs the demand of your table may
require, wash it we'll to remove all the
blood or soil from the outside, have
your dinncr-pot perfectly cleans salt AMI
pepper them well, lay it III the bottom,
and cover il with water boil IL from
two to three hours, or till it Is thorough
ly tCudC~; add half an onion, Il sprinkle
of sage, thyme or summer Savory. III
the meat bc fat. let the water all stew
out half hour before il is put on the
table, and when your meat Is Drowned
we'll OH the lower side i'll the gravy. turn
it over and brown the other side. when
ready, take it ND, add Il little flour thick
ening to the gravy. or, if YOU have
dredge-bOX. shake the flour into the hot
gravy and b own it; then add boiling
water, and Won viii have u dish equal
and to my mind superior to the common
roast beef upon boarding house tables.
Care must be used TO turn it; and equal
" necessary is good Judgment in having
it thoroughly well cOoked.-Erch0Rge.
