Uses of Lime Water.
sehOd Department.:

Editor Household Department.:
want to tell your readers how valua-
BILE have found lime water to be in my
housekeeping. I prepare it for use as
follows:
put small piece of fresh lime into a
stone jar, and pour over it slowly, say a
couple of quarts of hot water; stir this
thoroughly and repeat the stirring three
or four times a day, so that the water
can absorb Or hold the lime in solution.
Let it settle and bottle carefully the clear
liquid.
find that little mixed in my bread
sponge at night will prevent souring. A
little put into milk which is in danger of
curdling after hot night, although not
really sour, will prevent the curdling; it
may then be used FIR tea and coffee and
is just as good for buildings and pies; at
least don't throw it away when milk
here is ten cents per quart, if can posi-
bly, save it by the use of little lime
water. 1t also cleanses the milk bottles
nicely. Try it. MRS. MARY F.

Excellence of Salt.

Ii the feet are tired or painful after long
standing, great relief can be had by bath
ing them in salt water. A handful of salt
to gallon Of water is the right proper
ton. Have the water as hot as can be
comfortably borne. Immerse the feet
and throw the water over the legs as far
as the knees with the hands. When the
water becomes too cool rub briskly with
d flesh towel. This method, if used night
and morning, will cure neuralgia of the
feet.
Carpets may be greatly frightened by
first sweeping thoroughly and then going
over them with clean cloth and clear
salt and water. Use a cupful of coarse
salt to a large basin of water.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost anything that can be bought. 1t
keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the
gums hard and rosy.
If, after having a tooth pulled, the
mouth is filled with salt and water, it
will allay the danger OF havinga hemorr-
hage.
TO clean willow furniture use salt and
water. Apply it with nail brush, scrub
we'll and dry thoroughly.
When broiling stake throw little salt
on the coal and the blaze from the drip
ping fat will not annoy.
Damp salt will remove the discolora-
ton OF cups and saucers caused by tea
and careless washing.
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with salt
and vinegar.
Wash the mica of the stove doors with
salt and vinegar.
Salt in whitewash will make it stick
better.

Many an hour might be spent in the hap

form on the violin or accordion, that
would otherwise pass discontentedly or
in hurtful companionship.
a few dollars each year invested in
reading matter will not only supply
pleasant employment for leisure hours,
but the means of mentalimprovement as
we'll. There are many excellent, entertain
ing publications for the young, and at
such low prices, that no family in which
there are children should be without one
Or more. But parents should discrimi-
nate carefully between good and bad
class of reading matter, for there is a
large amount of fashy, sensational
character, wholly unfit for the young to
read
A man, who was reared on a farm, said
to the writer not long since, that the
very name of a farm filled him with dread;
that during his boyhood, all days when
out of school, were spent in hard, plod-
ding work, with no recreation to diver
sify the dull time, and his only ambition
then was for the time to come when he
could leave place he so utterly disliked.
There is no reason why acountry home
should not be place of pleasure and
contentment TIC every member. There is
a freshness and freedom in farm life that
cannot be enjoyed when person is sur
rounded by brick walls. With pleasant
mental recreation for leisure hours there
need be no unhappy memories of the
farm to carry through life.-American
Agriculturist.
