at one end board of the width of the
sink and two and half feet in length,
letting it rest upon the sink. Then
have rim of board, four inches in
height, screwed around three sides.
Raise the end farthest from the sink
slightly, and have one end fastened Sc
curelv to the wall. Two or three not
very deep grooves should be cut into
the shelf, so that the water will drain
off quickly. AS the dishes are washed
place them on this shelf, and when all
are done turn hot water on them to
rinse, and then wipe quickly. Dish
washing is an important part of house
:eeping, and good supply of dish
cloths and wiping towels are indis-
pensable. There should be glass-tow-
els, silver-towels, china-towels, and
common dish and tin towels.
BAD COLD.
For a cold on the chest there is no
better specific, for most persons, than
we'll boiled or roasted onions. They
may not agree with every one, but to
persons with good digestion they will
not only be found to be a most excel
lent remedy for a cough, and the clog
ging of the bronchial tubes, which is
usually the cause of the cough, but if
eaten freely at the outset of cold,
they will break up what promised, from
the severity of the attack, to have been
a serious one.
FLANNEL FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Mothers will find that q band Of
flannel worn around the stomach and
hips of children who are troubled with
bowel complaints during the summer,
and whose vitality is low at all times,
will greatly benefit them. It may be
gored to fit and hooked in the back.
Three of these bandages of graded
thickness should be kept on hand, and
if changed with the weather they will
lessen the danger of cold, neuralgia and
inflammation of the bowels.
CUTS.
There is nothing better for cut than
powdered resin. Pound it until fine,
and put it into an empty clean pepper
box with perforated top; then you can
easily sift it out on the cut, and put q
soft cloth around the injured member,
and wet it with cold water once in
while. It will prevent inflammation
and soreness.
HOUsEKEEPERs' HELPS.
Scatter sassafras bark among dried
fruit to keep it from becoming wormy.
When fatirons become rusty black
them with stove polish, and rub we'll
with dry brush.
Lamp wicks give better light when
cut squarely across, and should not be
pecked off, as some advocate.
If soap is purchased in large guam
titles, and kept in warm, dry place,
half the usual amount will be required.
A sure and safe way to remove grease
spots from silk is to rub the spot
quickly with brown paper. The fric-
ton will soon draw out the grease.
AS dressing in the bath, two quarts
of water, with two ounces of glycerine,
scented with rose, will impart final
freshness and delicacy to the skin.
To the consumptive a panacea is
found by daily use of glycerine inter
nally with proportion of one part of
powdered willow charcoal and two
parts of pure glycerine.
There is scarcely an ache to which
children are subject SO hard to bear
and so difficult to cure as earache. A
remedy which never fails is a pinch Of
black pepper gathered up in bit OF
cotton batting, wet in sweet oil and in
serted in the ear. It will give imme-
date relief.
