HINTS TO HOUGsKEEPERS.

To give stoves good luster add either
sugar or alum to she lead.
Remove stains from cups and saucers
by securing with coal ashes.
Vinegar improves 10y keeping, therefore
il is best to lay in large supply.
Lime free from grit mixed with alcohol,
applied with leather, will give beauti-
full polish to steel.
Channels can be washed in warm water
without soap; rinse we'll, and pull and
stretch to soften while drying.
Meat and vegetables are much better if
served when they are done than If left TO
get cold before they are eaten.
How many have tried sunhowers for bean
poiesS Plant them very early, and when
one foot high piaut two beans t. d stalk.
Binding piece of lemon around the
toe, aud rubbing the corn with green
peach-tree leaves are both very good
remedies.
To break up bad cold battle the feet
or the whole body IN very bot water and
drink a cup of hot ginger tea and 60
Immediately TO bed.
Be very careful about disiufecting the
kitchen sink. Washing soda, two table
spoonfuls to gallon of boiling water,
make an excellent wash to pour hot into
the sink after you have finished using it.
An emergency cabinet should contain
a roll OF old linen and one of aoft flannel,
graduated glass for medicines, court
plaster, d bottle of amonia, one of
campho-, turpentine, and one of sweet
oil; china At of mixed mustard for
poultioes, ana any medicines prescribed
by a physician.
Silyerware, TO keep bright, should
never be washed in soapsuds; clear water
ia best. To prevent articles from tern-
