There is first rate homemade ce-
ment for filing up cracks in an odd
stove or range. The ingredients are
wood ashes and salt, equal proportion
in bulk Of each, little less of salt; re-
duce to a soft paste with cold water,
and fill cracks when the range or stove
is cool. The cement will soon become
perfectly hard. Fireclay obtained at
the stove Dealers will sometimes ans
wer, but home made cement is always
at command, where wood is the fuel
used.

The unpleasant odor produced by
perspiration is frequently the source Of
vexatiou to persons who are subject to
it. Nothing is simpler than to remove
this odor much more effectually than
by the application of such costly ungu-
ents aud perfumes as are in use. It's
only necessary to procure some Of the
compound spirits ofammonia, and place
about two table spoonfuls in basin Of
water. Washing the face, hands and
arms with this, leaves the skin as clean,
sweet and fresh as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless, and
very cheap. 1t is recommended on the
