Notes.

Impregnation of the atmosphere of
sick chamber when the patient is i'll
of diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, or
of any allied disease, with the odor of a
mixture of equal parts of turpentine
and carbolic acid, is recommended by
DR.. Vilandt. Half teaspoonful of the
mixture will be enough at time, if it
is put into kettle of water kept near
tie boiling point. The odor generally
gives some relief to the sufferer, and
tends to prevent the spread of the
malady.
One of the necessities and Injuries
also of the toilet table is q bottle of
water in which you put as much pow
dered borax as will dissolve; keep put
ting it in until it begins to fall to the
bottom and remains there. When you
take your bath, or simply wash your
face and hands, pour little of this in
to the washbowl; it softens the water
and removes soil without making the
skin rough. 1t is good to use also
when you wash the children's hair, as
much soap is universally condemned
for that purpose. When you feel that
cleanliness demands soap little pure
CASTLE soap is recommended.
"What would any one do who had
pitcherful of sweet, fresh buttermilk
sent to her? don't know how to cook
with it." A neighbor of mine made
this exclamation, but a noted caterer,
whose dishes were the admiration of all
who knew them, speaks highly of but
termilk, and deplores the ignorance of
the average cook in regard to it's good
qualities. An ole time rule for making
crullers is to use half a pint of butter
milk, one-half cup of butter, two cups
of sugar, and three eggs. Dissolve half
q teaspoonful Of soda IN a little not
water, add teaspoonful of salt, half
nutmeg grated, half teaspoonfnl of
ground cinnam on of good strength. As
much flour should be worked IN as will
make a smooth dough; cut in rings or
any shape you choose, and fry in very
hot fat. Crullers used to be cut IN lit
tie squares after being rolled out in
thin sheet, then the squares were
slashed.
G. Puscher says in the Chemiches
Centralblatt that bone and ivory may
be permanently bleached when they
have become yellow by age by using the
following process: Twenty-Five gins of
pure zinc white are to be covered by
@. c. of water and fifty G. C. of concen-
trated sulphuric acid gradually added.
One hundred and fifty G. C. of hot water
ere then added, and with stirring just
enough water of ammonia to redissolve
the precipitated hydrate of zinc.
Enough solution of sulphate of copper
is added to give the liquid BLUSH
white tint. After allowing the objects
to be bleached to lie for several days
they are rinsed with water.
Emulsion with milk may be made
of varying strength, but one of the
most satisfactory proportions is two
parts of refined kerosene to one part of
sour milk. This must be thoroughly
churned (not merely shaken) until but
ter is formed which is thoroughly sta
BILE and will keep indefinitely in closed
vessels and may be diluted ad libitum
with water when needed for use. The
time required to bring the butter varies
with the temperature, and both soap
and milk emissions are facilitated by
heating the ingredients. Ordinary con-
densed milk may also be used by thor
oughly stirring and beating 1t in an
equal or varying quantity of kerosene.
