USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Many delicate and sickly persons
like TO drink cocoa, and it is considered
very nutritious. OF course, you require
milk and sugar when you prepare your
cup of cocoa: SO many products are
needed for that seemingly simple ar
ticle, a cup of cocoa.
The annoying dryness OF the tongue
and pharynx, so common In acute
febrile diseases, may be relieved by
brushing pure and undiluted glycerine
over the affected parts. The great thirst
ceases, and the patients condition is
made more comfortable.
Lemon Syrup. Five pints OF water;
six pounds OF sugar; two ounces OF tar

cold, add the juice OF ten lemons. 'i'ot-

ing.
A person suffering with boils should
eschew rich pastry, gravies and every
kind of meat, except lean mutton. Inc
boils may be brought to head by us
ing a warm poultice OF camomile How

mentation with hot water, or by stimu-
lating plasters.
There are few desserts more accep-
table than oranges, cut up and sugared,
and chilled for couple of hours in The
refrigerator. Some add TO it grated or
dessicated cocoanut, but as strawber-
ries and raspberries can not be improv-
ed by cooking, SO good oranges can not
be improved by adding any thing be-
sides sugar, especially SO indigestible a
thing as cocoanut.
An English writer urges the i'm
portance of thoroughly airing rooms
and flushing all waste pipes on the re-
turn OF family after considerable alb
sence from home. The shut-up house
is often filled with noisome gas, through
the evaporation OF the water which
keeps the sewer traps operative, and
this is not necessarily revealed by an
odor. Many cases of sore throat have
been traced to the neglect of the pre-
cautions mentioned.
The following "silver-cleaner" is
said to be according to the formula OF
one OF the best silver manufacturing
companies of the country: Dissolve
one pound OF Spanish whiting in water
and let it settle; then pour off the top
so the grit will be freed. Let the resi-
due settle again and pour off, the top,
thus obtaining the pure whiting; add
/ one ounce of borax. dissolved in as little
water as necessary; add one-half pint
spirits of camphor and one pint aqua
ammonia; put in a bottle and cork
tightly.
