poses. .-. I. .-..
Linen can be glazed by adding a
teaspoonful of salt and one of finely
scraped white soap to pound of
starch.
Warts may be removed by rubbing
them night and morning with moist
ened piece of muriate Of ammonia.
They soften and dwindle away, leav-
ing no such mark as follows their dis
persion with lunar caustic.
A good lotion for freckles is made of
rectified spirits of wine, one ounce !;
water, eight ounces; half an ounce of
-orapge flower water, or one ounce of
rose water; diluted muriatic acid, a
teaspoonful. Mix. To be used after
washing.
To prevent rusting of tin, rub fresh
lard over every part Of the dish, and
then put it In hot oven and heat it
thoroughly. Thus treated, any tinware
may be used in water constantly and
remain bright and true from rust in
definitely.
To remove mildew from clothes,
take two ounces of chloride Of lime
(Which can be procured at any drug
storey pour on it one quart of boiling
water; then add three quarts of cold
water; steep the linen in it for twelve
hours, when every spot will be re-
moved.-[ Rural World.
Small holes in white walls can be
easily repaired without sending for the
mass. Equal parts of plaster OF Paris
and white sand-such as is used in
most families for securing purposes
mixed with water to pate, applied
Immediately and smoothed with a
knife or fiat piece Of wood will make
the broken place as good as new. AS
the mixture hardens very quickly, it is
best to prepare but small quantity at
a time.
To stop bleeding at the nose, press
the finger firmly upon the little artery
that supplies the blood to the side OF
the face effected. Two small arteries
branching up from the main arteries
on each side of the neck and passing
over the outside of the jawbone supply
the face with blood. II the nose bleeds
from the right nostril, for example, pass
the finger along the edge of the right
jaw till the beating of the artery is felt.
Press hard upon it and the bleeding
will cease. Continue the pressure five
minutes, until the ruptured vessels in
the nose have time to contract.
The readiest and most useful remedy
for scalds and burns is an embrocation
of limewater and linseed oil. These
simple agents combined form a
thick, cream-like substance, which eff
Ifectually excludes the air from the in
jured parts, and allays the inflamma-
ton almost Instantly. A case is record
ed where child fell backward into a
bath-tub of boiling water, and was
nearly f1ayed from her neck to below
her hips. Her agonies were indie
scribable; but her clothing being gen.
tly removed, and the lime and prepara-
tion thickly spread over the injured
surface, she was sound asleep in five
minutes. subsequently,, the parts were
carefully washed with warm milk and
water three times day, the oil dress
ing renewed, and the little patient rap
idly recovered. Though ali the scald-
ed skin came off, she did not have a
scar. This remedy leaves no hard coat
to dry on the sores, but softens the
parts and aids nature to repair the in
jury in the readiest and most expedi-
tious manner. This mixture may be
procured in the drug stores, but if not
thus accessible, slake lump of quick
lime in water, and as soon as the water
is clear, mix it with oil and shake it
well. If the case is urgent, pour boil.
ling water over the lime, and it will
become clear in five minutes. The
preparation may be kept bottled in the
Louise, and it will be as good six
months old as when first made.-G Ru-

The purple red cabbage is the finest.

gar over it. Mace, bruised ginger,
