VALUABLE HINTS.

VALUABLE HINTS.
ooh! what's the use to have a yard,
And plant II out in youthful trees,
And Vet the darncd William Goats
Proceed Do hill them when they please?'
"Harry," said mother TO little boy,
''you shouldn't throw away nice bread
like that; you may want it before you
die" "fIow could I get it, though if !
eat it now?" Harry asked.
To STOP MoLEHoLEs.
Take plug of common hard soap, stop
the hole with it, and you may rest as
sured of having no further trouble from
that quarter. 1t is equally efectual as
regards rats, cockroaches, and ants.
We are told by tourist that the fol-
lowing sharp lines are written on the sash
of car window:
When sec a mans name
Scratched upon the glass,
| know he owns diamond,
And his father owns an ass.
There is a perennial nobleness, and
even sacredness, in work. Were he
never so benighted, forgetful of his high
calling, there is always hope in a man
who actually and earnestly works; in
idleneness alone there is perpetual des-
pair.
TO WASH CALICO.
To prevent calico from fading while
washing, infuse three gills of salt in four
quarts of water; put the calico in while
hot, and leaye it till cold. In this way
the colors are rendered permanent, and
will not fade by subsequent washing.
To MAKE LEMON PIE.
Crate the rind of two lemons peel
off the white skin; chop the lemon up
fine; add two cups of sugar; beat up
two eggs, and stir it all together. Roll
out thin a rich paste, line thin plate
with it, and I'll it halffull with the lem
on; then roll out another thin crust,
r-->-or it, and fill up the plate with the
lemon cover it with rich puff paste,
and bake it twenty minutes.
TO CLEAN FURNITURE.
An old cabinet-maker Gays: "The
best preparation for cleaning picture
frames and restoring furniture, especially
that which is somewhat marred or
scratched, is a mixture of three parts
linseed oil and one part spirits of tur-
pentine. 1t not only covers the dis6g-
ured surface, but restores wood to its
color, and leaves lustre upon the sur
face. Put on with a woolen cloth, and
when dry rub with woolen."
NEW CURE FOR WARTS.
= A correspondent recommends kerosene
oil. He says: "When began its use
three months since, had thirty-seyeu
on my hands, some very large and pain
full. Where they were covered witt
hard cuticle, ! carefully pared it off
and saturated them daily, using came 5
hair pencil and common coal-oil. They
began. to disappear by absorption in
about two weeks, and are now entirely
removed, leaving no scar or mark, a'
was the result in three places in which
succeeded in eating them out with caus
tic" --
TO PRESERVE FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR
Pick any kind of fruit not dead-ripe
and put it into wide-mouthed bottles sci
the bottles in kettle, with cold water
up to their necks, place them over the
fire, and when the fruit begins to sink
take off the kettle; whep cold, Gil ~
each bottle with boiled spring water
cold; cork the bottles and lay them Oh
their sides, or set them with the cork'
downward in n rack Or the fruit il
tho ho,,loa may be act in an oven aftel
the bread is drawn, and let stand unit
shrunk a quarter part, when the bottles
should be corked closely.
