Suggestions for HOusekeepers

Never set iron ware In the sink or on the
work table while cleaning it. nor vet on
the stove, thus s.orching your hands and
race While scraping out Even if you wash
these things in an outside kitchen do not
set them on benches Or tables there 1t is
untidy and makes a great deal of disagree
able and needless cleaning, Keep large
squares Of thick pasteboard hung con-
Fenlent to slip under pots, kettles, stew
dishes aud sp ders, whenever You set them
down, You have no idea how much
"crocking" of benches and tables It will
save. Cut small hole near one corner of
the square TO hang it up by, and when too
much blackened burn up and replace it
with new. Or the pasteboards NAV be
covered with Oil CLOTH in which case they
can be washed at pleasure, and used to an
Indefinite length OF time.
Use old tooth OF nail brushes for clean
ing the corners of window sashes. If the
bristles are worn out at the end cut off the
brush half way, or down to where the
bristles are long and stiff. Old brushes
are also excellent for cleaning smoky and
greasy lamp burners. Remove the wick,
put the burner into q basin of hot suds'
and scrub inside and out With the brush.
AfterWnrd scour with fine coal ashes. rinse
wipe dry, and polish with a flannel rag
They will look equal to new Tea kettles.
or other tinware which has become black
ened and dull from long us, should also
be secured with coal ashes, from which
every bit of coal and course ashes has
been sifted. Wash after in COOL hot
soap suds and wipe dry. DO not repeat
the securing often. but wash FIRE llIently in
clean, hot suds, with clean, soft cloth,
and they will keep bright for q good length
OF time

this mail, is also liable to lie over at the
same point or be sent via Chester, not
through any fault of the postmaster,
but simply because the two stage lines
do not make connections at that point,
either through pure cussedness or want
of proper instructions from the de-
