ing suds for the garden; if they are poured
| over the roots of the plum trees they will
kill the curculio; if turned at the roots of
! geranlums roses, etc., they will enhance
their beauty tenfold.

lasses, one-half teaspoon salt. Mix all to-

ing odor of paint. Coffee pounded in a NOR

iZers.

ticient warm milk to make right consist
ency; divide into rolls (about thirteen or
fourteen); bake half an hour in brisk oven.
SIMPLE AND EFFEcrIvE.-About one pound
of copperas (sulphate of iron) at cost of a
few cents, put into a water closet, will en-
tirely deodOrize it; five pounds dissolved in
bucket OF hot water. thrown down a cess
pool, will have the same effect. There is no
unpleasant odor from 1T, as there Is from
chloride of lime or carbolic acid. The above
is worth knowing, especially at this season
of the year. II repeated once a month or
oftener, if necessary, there will be no trouble
from ''sewer gas or other effluvia.
To CLEAN BRAss.-If the brass is very
much furnished use little oxaIic acid solu-
ton. If spots are imbedded rub them out
with a little powdered pumicestone, then
wash with water and dry. Mix rotton stone

whole surface of the brass with smooth
cork until 1t assumes q greenish black color

repays the extra trouble it causes.
