Hints for Housewives.

Preserves and cranberries, if stewed
together, make delicious filling for pies
or for tarts, or may even be used as
sauce.
Odd and antique chests or tables are
placed in hall alcoyes, and are orna-
mented with statuettes. The card
basket stands in the centre on fancy
mat.
The gravy made from roast lamb Is
much improved in flavor if a few thin
slices of bacon are laid over and under
the roast.
If the surface of fruit jellies is COW
cred one-fourth of an inch deep with
loaf-sugar, finely pulverized, they will
keep in good condition and no mold
penetrate.
The newest sofa cushions are made
three-quarters of a yard square, and
are filled WITH fine feathers instead OF
down. Plush forms one side, and fine
felt cloth the other.
Quaint little foot-stools are made of
plush or velvet with REST thy weary
feet embroidered in one corner, and
large satin ribbon bow placed on the
OppOSIlC COIutI.
Bedroom curtains for the winter are
made very full and heavy, without be-
ing looped back. Crimson cotton
| plush is used for them and is really
pretty and warm as well as cheap.
A great convenience in the bath
room or above the wash-stand is
| splasher made of enamel cloth, with
two or three pockets. Bind the edges
with scarlet braid. The pockets are
useful for holding brushes, a sponge,
| and other such articles.
Dlotters are made quite ornamental
by cutting them any shape that is
liked, and fastening four or five to-
gether by delicate ribbon bow; on
| the outer blotter paint in water colors
some pleasant design-Greenaway fig
ures or bunch of flowers. In some
cases, little calendar is combined with
the design, which renders them more
useful.
How vanished paint may be cleaned.
Save the tea leaves from the teapot
for few days; then put them into
| tin pan, with water enough to cover
well; let them simmer on the back of
|
and add water enough to 60 over the
paint with; use a flannel cloth, and
wipe the paint dry. A very bright
| polish will be given, and all traces of
finger marks will be removed.
TO take out grease or fresh paint
| Use chloric ether, rubbing it on the
| grease-spots. For paint, the ether
should be applied on the other side.
Benzine is almost equally good, but
| must not be used near the fire or gas.
If candle-grease has dropped on the
| floor, lay coarse folded brown paper
over it and smooth with a hot iron,
which draws it out. If trace remains,
cover it with French chalk for an hour.
| Undercut of shoulder of Mutton
Rub it with salt and pepper, fill the in
| side with stutfiing of bread BIS,
butter and herbs; roll it up into a neat
shape, binding it with tape. Put it in
a stew-pan with two onions, two car
rots, some herbs, pepper, salt, and a
little stock of cold water. Cover and
stew or braise it gently over slow fire,
| or in the oven, and haste it often.
| When almost done, take off the cover
| and let the meat brown in the oven.
Before serving, remove the tape and
| place the meat on a dish to keep hot in
the oven while you strain the gravy
and boil it down to a strong glazing.
| Pour this over the meat; and, if you
| like, put tomato sauce around the
meat on the platter.
