HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For bilious collie soda and ginger in hot
water. 1t may be taken freely. ~
To remove tar rub thoroughly with
clean lard and wash with soap and warm
water. 4
Nervous spasms are usually relieved by
a little salt taken in the mouth and al
lowed to dissolve.
When the eyes are tired and weak, if
they are bathed in slightly saline water
they will soon become soothcd. 4
Bent whalebones can be restored and
used again by simply soaking IN water u
few hours and then drying them. /
Use Turkish towels for the kitchen as
well as for bath towels; they wear wells
wash easily and requires no ironing. /
Heartburn may be relieved almost in,
stantly if half a teaspoonful of table salt
be dissolved in wineglassful Of cold water
and then drunk.
Sleeplessness caused by too much
blood in the head may be overcome by
applying a cloth wet with cold water to
to the back of the neck. e.
A French cook tells us that a piece Of
dry bread, tied in bag and placed in
the water while cabbage is boiling, will
prevent the unpleasant odOr which usual
ly arises. -
Sometimes vanilla bean is thrown
into the tea pot with the green and black
tea. and after the boiling water is poured
in there is a delicate aroma Of vanilla as
we'll as tea.
Nothing is more soothing for burns or
over the injured place. 1t is easily pro-
cured and is more cooling than sweet oil
and cotton.
Children need four suits; one for very,
best, one for second best, and two for
the wear and tear of every day. To get
on with a scantier supply Is poor
economy as a general thing.
Be sure and put your clothes pins i9
hot soap suds at least once in two weeks
and let them boil; after which they may
be taken out, dried and put away in D.
bag, ready for use on next wash day.
Glue'that is delicate and nice for mount
ing ferns and sea weeds is made of five
parts of gum arabic, three parts Of white
sugar, two parts of starch, add a very lit
tie water; boil until thick and white.
Nothing more surely shows good
breeding than refined table manners,
and you can never teach your children
these while habitually eating off an oil
cloth table-spread or a s!ovenly linen
one.
To clean a carpet thoroughly, throw
damp salt upon it and then sweep it
briskly, ana it will be found that all the
coloring will be vastly frightened; or if
the carpet has been well swept, 90 over
it afterward with a clean cloth and clear
salt water, and the result will be almost,
as good.
