Hints for fhe Housewives,

There is nothing better for cleaning
painted woodwork than a piece of COM
mon India rubber. Rub the wood as if you
were erasing pencil marks, and then pass
dry brush over it. No water is neces-
sary.
BoraX is useful article TO have about
the house. A half pound will drive the
reaches from the premises. \ large hand
full in powder to ten gallons of water will
effect a saving of fifty per cent. in soap. 1t
is an excellent dentrifice, and one of the
very best articles known for cleaning the
scalp.
A writer in one of our exchanges advises
ladies who have furS to cleanse, to take
Indian meal in large pan and rub them
with it-using no water, nothing but dry
meal and they will look rs good as new.
Alum and plaster Paris mixed with wa
ter, and used in a liquid state, will form a
very useful cement, handy for many pur>
poses. 1t forms very hard composition,
and for fixing lamp tops nothing could be
better.
To mend china, take q very thick solu-
ton of gum arabic in water and stir in it
plaster of Paris until the mixture becomes
of the proper consistency. Apply it with
brush to the fractured edges of the china
and stick them together. In three days
the article will be thoroughly cemented.
The whiteness of the cement renders it
doubly valuable.
