USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

NEW FLANNEL.-Scald flannel before
making, as it shrinks in the first washing.
This shrinking is usually caused by using
too much soap and washing them in too
cool water. Never use soda for flannels.
To KEEP Ice FROM WINDOWS. Take
an ordinary paint brush or sponge and
rub over the glass once or twice day
little alcohol. This will keep the glass
as free from ice as in the middle of sum
mer and give as fine polish as can be
got in any other way.--Eretangs.
SEVERAL years ago there was quite
trade in a so-called wine plant" which
was nothing more nor less than the COM
mon rhubarb, or p:e-plant. Now an en-
terprising Tennesseean advertises in the
Temperance Companion the THE Great
American Beer-Plant, entirely free from
alcohol and the only thing known that
will take the place of milk, coffee, and
tea"-Erchdnge.
THE unsatisfactory light frequently
given by kerosene lamps is often due to
the wick. The filtering of several quarts
of oil through wick, which stops every
particle of dust in it, must of course
gradually obstruct the pores of the wick.
Consequently, although a wick may be
long enough TO last some time, its con-
Quoting power may be so impaired that
a good light cannot be obtained.
OLD-FAsHIoNED ELECTION CAKE.-Take
twothirds of a pint of thin Indian meal
Cruel, then add one cup of sugar, one
half cup of butter, one cup of yeast,
cassia and cloves to suit the taste, and
about quart of -four. Set in warm
place to raise over night In the morn
ing put it into a buttered pan, and if al
lowed to stand awhile before baking it
will be lighter than if baked imme-
diately.
WHY PAINTS CRACK AND PEEL.--A
writer in the Hub thinks that the cause
of paint cracking and peeling is to be
found in the water which is contained in
linseed oil as it comes from the hands of
the manufacturer. He made the expert
ment of boiling linseed oil by steam I'M
til all the moisture was expelled from it.
On using this oil, without any dryer, it
was found to dry in half the time.
He then mixed with it some siccohast,
using only half the usual quantity EN-
ployed to dry oil not boiled, and obtained
similar results. "The introduction" says
he, of steam into the linseed before
grinding aids in the expulsion of the oil;
but it must stand "a long time to precipi
tate the water completely"

Cutting and Storing Gratis.

THERE is no better time to cut CRAFTS,
SAYS the London Gdrdea, than at the
commencement of winter In cutting
and packing them away there are some
precautions 10 be observed In the first
place, let them he amply and distinctly
labeled. aS it is very annoying to find the
names gone at the moment of using
them. For this purpose they should be
tied up in punches, not over two or three
inches in diameter, with three bands
around each bunch-at the ends and
middle. The names may be written on
a strip of pine board or latb, half an inch
wide, a tenth of an inch thick, and near
" as long "a the sCions. This, il tied up
with the bunch, will keep the same Sc
cure. For convenience in quickly deter
mining the name there should be
another strip Of lath, sharp al one end,
and with the name distinctly written on
The other thrust into the bundle, with
,bt name projecting from it. If these
punches or bundles are now placed on
end in box, with plenty of damp moss
between them and over the top, they will
keep in cellar in good condition and
any sort may be selected andSwithdrawn
without disturbing the rest by reading
the projecting label We have never
found sand. earth. sawdust or any other
packing substance so convenient clean
and easily removed as moss for packing
CRAFTS. II is needful, however, to keep
an occasional eve TO them to see that
the proper degree of moisture is main
tanned which should be just enough TO
keep them from shriveling, and no more.
