The Household-A Few Hints for the
Ladies.
TO CURE A CHILD's COLD.

Try smoking tar. 1nhale the mo
from pine tar. Get a pint or more OF
pure pine tar mot the oil) from the
ship chandler; heat a poker red-hot, and
stir the tar with it. A thick smoke
will rise. Hold your head rel it, keep
your mouth shut, and inhale through
the nostrils. Heat the poker three OF
four times, until the room is filled with
smoke; shut doors and windows, and
remain in the room rs long as possible
In two weeks get fresh tar. 1t is a
good plan to smoke it in ones bedroom
just before retiring; after smoking open
a window from the top; the smoke will
slowly escape, but enough remains to
be of some benefit. Use borax in the
water in which the child is bathed. as
it will %invigorate it.
REMEDY FOR CATARKH.
Dry and powder mullen leaves rs fine
as you would powder sage; then smoke
as you would tobacco, letting the smoke
escape through the nostrils instead of
the mouth. This is one of the best REM
edies for catarrh in the head. 1t has
entirely cured a case of over twenty
years standing, when every other rem
edy heard of had failed to do SO. 1t
may require a little practice to let the
smoke escape through the nostrils.
Mullen will be stronger gathered before
the frost Injuries it, but will answer
even if dug from under the 1t
will also be found an excellent remedy
for cold in the head.
MoTH-PATCHEs on II FACE.
Add about one %teaspoonful of pulver-
lied borax to q basin of water when
washing the face morning and evening;
or a more convenient way would be to
keep n quantity already dissolved in a
bottle of water, and pour in the wash
basin as often as needed. Twice a day
is quite often enough to use it, and the
municipalities should slowly disappear
in about ten days or two weeks.
TO REMOVE PRIMROSE TT
Very heavy wire or steel will be
found better than wood for pushing
out the pith of the primrose, or ever
lasting shrub.
TO KEEP PIANo-KEYs WHITE.
Piano-keys that have become yellow
will lose much of the color by leaving
them open, as keeping them closed too
much is the cause of their being yellow.

strong solution of borax; about two
heaping tablespoonfuls of pulverized
borax dissolved in boiling hot water.
Use it when warm.
