HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

OUNCE DOLE-MAH.-Par and core
whole a half-dOzen ounces; fill the
hollows with nicely chopped raw beef;
a little salt; boil in as little water as
is convenient until the ounces are
perfectly tender; then add a teacup of
molasses and small piece of butter;
boil ten minutes longer, and serve
with roast beef, vegetables, etc.
HAIR-BRUsHEs.- few drops OF
ammonia put into little water will
clean a hair-brush better than any
thing else, and does the brush no
harm. If very dirty, rub a little soap
on the brush. After cleansing, rinse
in clean water and hang the brush up
by the window to dry. Do not let the
bristles rest on any hard substance
while wet 1t is better to tie string
round the handle and hang up.
EDWARD H1NE, a correspondent OF
the Liverpool Mercury, in commune
cation to that paper, speaks as follows:
am willing to risk my reputation as
public man if the worst ease of
smallpox cannot be effectually cured
in three days, simply by cream OF tar
tar, This is the sure and never-fail-
ing remedy: one ounce of cream OF
tartar dissolved in pint of boiling
water, to be drank when cold, at short
intervals. 1t can be taken at any time,
and is a preventive as well as a cura-
tive. 1t is known to have cured i'll a
hundred thousand cases without fail
ure. l have myself restored hundreds
by this means. 1t never leaves a
mark, never causes blindness, and al
ways prevents tedious lingering. If
the people would only try it and report
all the cures toyou, you would require
to employ many columns if you gave
them publicity.
CULTIVATE zines at the windows.
Strive to produce leaves rather than
flowers, and depend on foliage and its
grouping for pleasing effects. There
is that graceful runner, the Madeira
vine. Start Il pot of it in each corner
up on strings meeting in the center OF
! the frame above. You have the out
lines of pyramid that you antill up
very prettily. Suspend from the apex
what call variety p0t--a hanging
| pot with a little of several things in
| it. Put in a little money q mean

need these hard tines, a bit of g Wan

bers of the "Colens" family, and
then add DUSTY Miller" The latter
will look out of the foliage like the
whitened head of the original as he
stands among his -four barrels in the
mill. Hang another pot below filled
up in the same way. Indeed, put in
as many as you can tastily.-Christi0I'
