USEFUL HINTS.

TIE white of an egg Is said to be .

JAPANESE cement is made by mixing
powdered rice with little cold water,
and then gradually adding boiling water
until proper consistence Is acquired,
being careful to keep it continuously
stirred; lastly, it must be boiled for one
minute In clean saucepan. This glue
is white and almost transparent, and is
well adapted for work which requires q
strong and odorless cement.
WARx MILK AS A BxvERAaR.-Milk
heated to much above 100 degrees Fab
renheit loses for the time degree of its
sweetness and its density. No one who,
fatigued by over-exertion of body or
mind, has ever experienced the reviving
influence of tumbler of this beverage,
heated as hotas Itcan be esipped, will will
lngly foregoaresort to it because of its hav-
ing been rendered somewhat less accept
able to the palate. The promptness with
which its cordial influence is felt is in
deed surprising. Some portion of it
seems to be digested and appropriated
almost Immediately; and many who
fancy that they need alcoholic stimulants
when exhausted by fatigue will find in
this simple draught an equivalent that
will be abundantly satisfying aud more
enduring in its effects.
To CLEAN KID GLovEs.-Get one
quart of deodorized benzine, one drachm
of sulphuric ether, one drachm of chic
roform, two drachms of alcohol Co
logne oil can be added, If desired. Pour
a little of this into q clean bowl, and
wash the gloves in it as you would wash
After the dirt is nearly out,
rinse In more of the clean fluid. Usual
ly one rinsing is enough, but if the
gloves were very much soiled rinse the
second time. If the gloves are of cheap
kid it is best to dry them on the hand
but nice glove, after having been
rubbed with soft cloth to smooth out
may be hung on line to dry.
This preparation is an excellent thing
to keep in the house, not only for clean
ing gloves, but for taking out grease
spots from clothing and carpets, and for
sponging coat-collars and felt hats.
ECONOMY AND CARE OF CLOTHING
One of the most important items in the
family expenses is the clothing, es-
pecially as there is 80 much of what is
called ''cloth" made up for boys and
men that will hardly hold together.
With the average family the income is |
limited, and the prices of shoddy ar
ticles are 80 small that there is strong |
inducement to purchase the so-called
"cheap" goods. It is, perhaps, not too
much to say that the majority of people
buy low-priced clothing. But, as q
matter of fact, they are the most expen-
sive goods that can be worn. A strong,
6ne-textured, well-made article will
outwear at least three of this poor ma
terial, and it does not really cost as
much, considering the amount of wear,
TO say nothing of the shabby appearance
Of faded cloth-the vexation of havil q
the garments continually breaking to
pieces, the necessity of daily repairs,
with the unsafe feeling when one steps
/ little high, or puts on an unusual
strain. The excuse which we have sug-
gested for buying such goods we know
- - AAhsAN OAAO w AACOog OOlik AA -
ty of cases the want of money to get
better goods. But it is better to make
he old coat last little longer and put
IL the money in the rest of the suit, and
when the money one will soon have to
ind to supply another cheap suit is at
1and, get good coat. As q wise and
rule, one should never pur-
'hase anything but good article.
