thinneSt skin.

BREAKFAST OR LUNCH DIsH.-An ex-
cellent way Of using up the odds and
ends of steaks, roasts, chops, or any bits
of cold meat, is to cut the meat from the
bone, emitting the gristle and fat if de-
sired. Chop as fine as if for mince-meat;
place in pan; cover with water, adding
frequently if it dries; let it simmer or
gently boil for 2 hours; season with salt
and pepper; toast to a delicate brown
any bread you may have, stale or fresh,
and when spread in single layers over
your meat-tray, pour meat and gravy
over the toast, or you can send to the
table without adding the bread.
WASHING SEARCHED CLoTHEs.-Be
sure that the shirts, collars, and cuffs are
washed thoroughly, brought to a good
scald, and rinsed in at least three waters;
dissolve the starch thoroughly in little
cold water, pour over it afterward he
required amount of boiling water, STIR
ring as YOU pour. Boil on the top of
your range till it is well cleared, adding
a very small piece of butter. Keep the
starch hot till you are ready to use it.
1t will probably stick to the irons if
allowed to cool, no matter how smooth
and clear it has become in preparation.
Starch your clothes on the wrong side
and hang directly to dry. Before IRON
ing dissolve dry starch in cold water to
the consistence of milk, wiring them dry
from this, wrap them closely for an
hour, then iron with perfectly clean irons.
A piece of beeswax rubbed on the irons
renders them smooth and gives a fine
polish.
To GET RID OF BUGs.-To begin with,
the wall must be thoroughly pointed up
with plaster, so that not pins head
could 90 into crevice in it. The cracks
where the plastering has shrunk away
from the woodwork of the surbase must
be thoroughly filed with it, and in places
where you find strong traces of them,
blow in, with = small bellows, either
powdered borax or Paris green, filling
the space afterward with plaster. Pro-
coed in the same way around each win
dow and door, unless you wish to paper
the room, when it is sufficient to see that
all cracks are thoroughly pasted over.
Afterward get several pounds of soft
putty and work into the cracks under
the baseboards, where they join the floor,
blowing in the borax or Paris green pre-
viously. The work must be thorough.
Every inch of the space must be care
fully gone over; but when once done, if
your bedsteads and bedding are clean,
you will be entirely free from this hui
initiating visitor, and may sleep in peace
and wake in thankfulness.
