THE HOUsEKEEPER.

Kerosene will make tin Kettle or
coffee pot as bright as new. Saturate
wooden rag, and rub with it.
If your silver forks or spoons are
stained from using in eggs las they al
ways will Beg rub them with little
dry table salt.
Oil cloths can be kept like new if
washed once month in skim milk and
water, equal quantities Of each; rub it
in we'll, and polish with an old silk
cloth, and they will keep for years.
To clean brass, immense or wash it
several times in sour milk or whey; this
will brighten it without securing; it
may then be secured with wooden
cloth dipped in ashes.
For chapped hands. battle them in
camphor. If they are chapped very
badly, and are sore, after washing them
dust them with starch.
To remove iron taste from new kettles
boil handful of hay in them, and re-.
peat the process if necessary. Hay
water is a great sweetener Of tin, wood,
and iron ware. In Irish diaries every.
thing used for milk is scalded with hay
water.
To remove starch or rust from fat
irons, have piece Of yellow beeswax
tied in coarse cloth; when the iron is
almost hot enough to use, but not quite
rub it quickly with the beeswax, and
then clean with coarse cloth or sand
paper.
Nothing is better to clea silver with
than alcohol and ammonia; after rub
bling with this take little whitening
or soft cloth and polish in this way;
even frosted silver, which is diff cult to
clean. may be easily made clean and
bright.
Baking soda gives instant relief to
burns or scalds. Applied either dry or
wet to the burned part Immediately, the
sense Of relief is magical. 1t seems to
withdraw the heat and with it the pain.
Keep it in the ironing room.
Javelle water, often met with in works
or articles on cleaning and dyeing, is
made of one gallon Of water and four
pounds Of ordinary washing soda. Boil
for five or ten minutes, then add one
pound OF chi bride of lime. Let cool,
and keep corked in Aug or tight vessel.
VEAL SrEAKs-Veal steaks in order
to be palatable must be cooked thor.
oughly. no matter how much haste the
cook is in; this should never be sent to
the table till it is nicely Drowned, the
edges and all. Salt and butter and
decided sprinkling of black pepper are
also necessary.
FRUIT FRAPEs-Line a mould with
vanilla ice-cream, fill the center with
fresh berries or fruit cut in slices, cover
with ice.cream, cover closely, and set
in freezer for half an hour, with salt
and ice well packed around it. The
fruit must be chilled but not frozen.
Strawberries and ripe peaches are de.
licious thus prepared.
CHILL SAUcE-Twelve large, ripe
tomatoes, four ripe or three green pep
pers, two onions, two tablespoonful
salt, two Of sugar, one of cinnamon,
three cups of vinegar, peel tomatoes
and onions, chop separat ely very fine,
add the peppers chopped, with the 9TH
er ingredients, and boil one and half
hours. Bottle, and it will keep a long
time. Stone jugs are bette than glass
cans. This Chilli sauce is excellent,
and much better and more healthy than
catsup.
