Mrs. Decchcr gives in the Chrisiim Union the
following household hints
Never wash mirrors with a cloth; hut, after
removing all dust from mirror and frame with
an old silk handkerchief or feather duster,
dampen an old newspaper and rub the surface
of tho mirror till perfectly clear and free from
spots then wipe of all the moisture with q
dry paper, and the mirror will be as clear rs
glass can be, without NOTES or strcaks, as Is
the case when it is washed aud polished with q
cloth.
When the chromos require cleaning, remove
all dust with a feather brush and wipe care
fully with soft chamois skin or fine linen
cloth, very slightly dampcd. II a little spotted
or dull, drop of oil on the chamOis will re-
move It, If the varnish is dull or rubbed of,
revarnish It with thin mastic varnish. Like
oil paintings II Is not desirable to hang
chromos In a dark room but never expose
them to the direct rays Of the sun.
Tinware looks much nicer when washed In
hot water with milk instead Of soap, and will
not require tho rough securing which is so
commonly used by servants, and which soon
wears oil all the tin, leaving q rusty, useless
article neither iron nor. tin.
SoapstOne hcarths should he first washed In
pure water, and then we'll sprinklcd with pow
durcd marble and sOapstOne and rubbed with q
piece Of the same stone.
