THERE is no better oil found to protect
instruments, such as files, saws, guns,
etc, than pure lard oil. 1t will keep
them from rusting. Wipe the metal with
cloth dipped into the oil and let it dry,
which will only require few moments.
If you want the iron bright and shining
scour it before the application of the oil.
But If this is not necessary the oil will
combine with the rust to form firm and
durable coating.
TOMATO SAUCE.--Stew dozen large
tomatoes with cayenne pepper and salt,
until they become like a marmalade.
| Pass them through sieve to remove the

ency of very thick cream. Then add u
half pint of nice broth and little but
| ter. Or if you have no broth, little
water, and an ounce and half of butter,
with two tablespoonfuls of grated crack
er or bread, may be stirred in just be-
fore sending to table. In seasoning the
same use very little pepper. 1t will be
nice accompaniment to beefsteak, or
beef d-IG-p0de, or cold roast beef.-CuLti-

THE Boston Laboratory gives as a
waterproof dressing for boots, shoes and
leather the following: Lard oil, 100
parts paraffin, fifty parts beeswax, five
parts. Gently warm the oil and in it
dissolve the paraffin and wax. If too
hard add a little less wax. Any disa.
greeable smell may be removed by a few
drops of oil of sassafras. The wax pre-
vents the capitalization of the paratfin
and the oil causes the whole to become a
paste of the consistency of tallow. The
dressing fills the pores of the leather

and pliable. Boots and shoes to which
the dressing is applied may be polished
using ordinary backing, which is not the
case with most dressing containing oil OF
grease.
