Or INTEREST TO HoUsEKEEPEEs.-T
following are things housekeepers will
want to know: That boiling water will
remove tea stains. and many fruit stains
pour the water through the stain, and
then prevent it from spreading over the
fabric. That ripe tomatoes will remove
ink and other stains from white cloth
also from the hands. That teaspoon.
full of turpentine boiled with white
clothes will aid the whitening process.
That boiled starch 10 much improved

and smooth as glass tie lump Of wax
in o rag, and keep it for that purpose
when the irons are hot, rnb them with
the wax rag, then scour with paper or
rag sprinkled with salt. That kerosene

The Dinner Table.

There is o great lack of minor refined
habits in some places-especially in
the arrangement OF the table setting q
table is pre-eminently q lady's work.
It should not be left to any frowsy
Gretchen, or laundering Biddy, or
shiftless Dinah. A woman with any
of the instincts Of lady, however dor
mant, ought to want to see her table
beautiful, and attend to it herself, or
give her girl special training in this de-
partment.
Country housekeepers. alas while
too solicitous of the substance, often
completely ignore the symbol. In most
cases their cloths are clean /; usually

POINTED SHoEs.-A great beau Of tho
time Of William Rufus, called Robert
the Horned, wore shoes with long,
sharp points, stuffed with tow. and
twisted in a special form. This fashion
took the fancy of the people Of that day
immensely, and the points went on in.
creasing yearly until the reign of
Richard H., when they had to be tied
on the knees of the wearer, to save him
from being incumbered in walking.
This tying, or fastening, in the case of
gentlemen, was by chains of silver or
silver gilt. In Chaucer's time the
upper part of these shoes was cut to
initiate a church window. The rank
Of the wearer in those days was known
by the length of his poulaines. "The
men," says Paradin. "wore them with
point before, half foot long the
richer and more eminent personagea
wore them foot and princes two feet
long," By an act of the reign of Ed.
ward w., the absurd lengths to which
these points attained was limited ; and
no one under the rank of lord was ia
wear shoes more than ten inches long,
and all cobblers making them were to
be fined and cursed by the clergy

TAXING IT Coo11Y.-They sometimes
do things coolly, even in Italy, where
such things are not looked for. A case
of this kind occurred at Genoa q short
time since, which is worthy of note. A
gentleman Of high social station made
the discovery that his wife was unfaith.
full to him. and instead of rushing up.
on the parties in true italian style, and
stabbing them both to the heart, he pc.
litely showed them the way to the street
door, and closed it after them. He then
summoned an undertaken, ordered ar
engagements for . funeral, invited all his
friends, and had the funeral ceremonies
for deceased wife performed over an
empty coffin. The light burden was
then taken by the bearers. placed upon
the hearse, and carried off with all the
customery solemnities. Having seen
the coffin depart from the house, he re-
turned to his friends and claimed their
congratulations on the fact that he was
widower; and throwing open the doors
OF his dining hall, invited them to par.
take OF q splendid feast which he had
prepared. The astonished company,
after learning the truth of the case, en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion,
and congratulated him upon his return
to life Of single blessedness, in many
. well-charged bumper.

The ART OF PATCHING CLoTHEs.-I

axiom that patch must be rectangular.
A round or q " crooked" one will inev.

impossible to match the threads. Then
patch should never be laid on" but
always "set in" To this end cut away
carefully by thread all that is in the
least worn, and turn back and haste
down an even seam all around. The
corners may be slashed slightly in
diagonal direction, to keep them square.
Then to this opening fit the patch ex.
actly, with the edges turned and basted,
and sew it in lover and over" on the
wrong side with the thread of the pre-.
else shade and very fine, sewing alter
nate opposite sides to avoid trouble
with the corners. The extra thickness
caused by the folded corners of the
patch itself should be cut out after sew.
