CHAPPED HANDs.-The following is
recommended as cheap, convenient
and excellent domestic remedy for the
above: Take fresh, unsalted butter and
beeswax, equal parts, melt them to-
gether and apply after each washing of
the hands or face. Another remedy, a
little more costly, but perhaps better,
is equal parts of mutton suet and bees
wax melted together. When cold, thin
the mixture down to the proper con-
sistency by the gradual addition of
glycerine, which should be thoroughly
incorporated with it by means of a case
knife. Either of the above may be per-
formed to suit the taste, or rather the
smell.
PERPETUAL PAsTE.-Dissolve a tea
spoonful of alum in quart of water /;
when cold, stir in as much flour as gives
it the consistency of thick cream, being
particular TO beat up all the Jumps; stir
in as much powdered resin as will lie
on dime, and throw in ] dozen cloves
to give it a pleasant odor. Have on the
fire a teacup of boiling water; pour the
flour mixture into it, stirring well at the
time. In few minutes it will be the
thickness of mush. Pour it into an
earthen or china vessel; let it cool; lay
a cover on, and get it into a cool place.
When needed for use, take out portion
and soften it with warm water. Paste
made thus will last II months. 1t is
better than gum, as it does not gloss the
paper, and can be written on.
