HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

! ALWAYS iron brown linen, cdlicOes,
cambrics and lawns on the wrong side.
| DON'T work by fits and starts. The
| eyen-going individual is always the most
| comfortable.
A POTATO, with one end cut eff, is bet
| tor than a rag for securing the knives. A
! thin shave must be taken off each time to
| give moist surface.
| BY rubbing with a damp flannel dipped
| in the best whiting, the brown discOlOra-
! ton may be taken off cups in which Gus
| tards have been baked.
To FILL GLASS FRUIT JARS wet towel
in cold water and fold several thicknesses;
! place the glass jar on it and fill with boil

To REvIvEa faiDting person: Place the
head lower than the heart, go that the
| blood will run down hill and thus restore
the equilibrium. Painting is caused by
want of blood in the brain.
Cooks are reminded that in roasting
| meat salt should not be put upon the joint
before it is put in the oven, as salt ex-
| tracts the juice; and that lime water will
improve the condition of Old potatoes in
boiling.
A HOT SALAD, which is well-known
Pennsylvania dish, is made by slicing
green tomatoes and small onions and a
few potatoes, and frying them together;
salt them well and send to the table
smoking.
AN AFGHAN, or little wrap for a baby's
carriage, may be made of macrame cord,
which comes in balls and is of many
colOrs. The wrap may be knit or Gro
cheted in stripes and have ribbons run in
it or have a lining which will harmonic
well with the different colors used in the
stripes.
A TOMATO GAMER says the cause of
poisoning from eating canned tomatoes Is
this: When the can is opened and only
portion of the contents removed, the air
acts upon the tin and deVelOpes the pol
son. The can should be emptied all at
once, and the unused portion put in an
open vessel.
GINGERBREAD may be varied and Won
derfully improved by the addition of a
cupful of grated cOcoanut; this quantity
is sufficient for a loaf of medium size.
Almonds are also used in ginger cake, but
unless you add flaYOring of bitter al
IlOnds, there will not be a distinctive al
mOnd flavor.

rain water and put into it 4 pound of
gum arabic, 4 pound brown sugar. d

nut-galls. Mix and snake occasionally
tor ten days, and strain. If needed sooner

MINERAL Wool is used for a packing
to deaden the sound between floors i'm
buildings, and being incOmbustible, it is
now pretty generally used between the
floors and ceilings in new houses. Min
eral wool is obtained from the Stag from
blast furnaces, and is produced by throw
ing jet Of steam against the stream of
Stag as it flows from the furnace.
SALT is necessary to the human system.
About twelve grains day is eliminated
from the tody i'd that amount must be
taken in some form if health be main-
tanned. Salt aids the decomposition of
the albuminoids. If the white of eggs be |
introduced into the intestines of an ami |
NAL it IS quickly absorbed if salt be pres
ent, but no part Of it is absorbed if salt be
absent.
NUDELs.-These are homemade rnaca-
roni and serve all the purposes fer which |
it is used in Italy. They may be appro.
priated to any sweet dishes by first boil
ing them soft in milk or water from ten to
twenty minutes, and then mixing them
with eggs, sugar, spice, preserves, etc. A !
straight rolling pin and a smooth PASTE
board are indispensable in the manufac-
ture of nudels.
