In rely 10 IN inquiry about prevent

roll them in four; then add them to the
cake, after il is well mixed, ready for the
oven, stirring il only just enough to mix
them through evenly. The less it can be

REMEDY FOR WOUNDS.
A correspondent Of the Country Gen
tiemo~ gives the following remedy sO'
painful wounds: Take . shovel or q
pan, with burning coals, and sprinkle
them On common brown sugar, and hold
the wounded part in the smoke. In q
few minutes the pain viii be allayed. and
recovery proceed rapidly. In my own
case rusty nail had made q bad wound
in the bottom of my foot. The pain and
nervous irritation were severe. This wa
all removed by holding in the smoke ff
teen minutes, and was able to resume
my reading with comfort. l have otter
recommended it to Others. with like re
suits. Last week one Of my men had
his finger nail tori, off by a pair of ice
tongs. 1t became very painful, as was tc
have been expected. Hed in the sugar
smoke twenty minutes. the pain ceased
and it promises speedy recovery.
MANAGEMENT OF BRooMs.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds onc'
week, they will become very tough and
always sweep like new broom. A hand
full of salt sprinkled on the carpet viii
carry the dust along with Il and maxi
the carpet bright and clean. A dirt,
carpet can be cleaned by setting . pail q
cold water out BY the door, wet the broom
in il, knock it to get OF al the drops
sweep yard or 30, then wash the broom
- before and sweep again, being careful
to shake all drops OF the broom, and mo-
sweep too far at any time. If done viii
care it will clean . carpet very nicely
and you will be surprised at the quantity
Of dirt In the water. The water MAJ
need changing once or twice II the car
pet is very dirty. Snow sprinkled owe
the carpet, and swept Oa before il ha
time to melt and dissolve, is useful fol
renovating a soiled carpet. Moistonet
Indian meal is used with good effect By
housekeepers. What is said in the fol
lowing is true; In many town and city
houses the apartments receive but on'
thorough sweeping week. Brooms veal
out carpets quite as much as feet do.
HOW TO DROP MEDICINE.
A selfholder for . spoon, when tenn
porarily filed with any liquid, or fol
dropping medicine, may be made in th'
simplest manner possible, by thrustinl
the handle between the leaves of . shu
book lying on the table. II not higl
enough, one book may be piled upon an
other. Both hands may be used in drop
ping from . bottle. or ios making any de
sired mixture.
soAP uUnnLEs.

pieces, in three quartsrs Of . pint o
water, and boil Il for two or three min
utes then aid Eve ounces Of glycerine
When cold. this fluid will produce thu
most lasting bubbles that can be blown.
