HOUSEHOLD NOTES.
MRS S. 4. NETTLES.

To remove paint from clothing sat
urate with spirits of turpentine and
let it remain several hours, then rub
the spots we'll, and the paint will
usually come of. Sometimes the ap-
plication must be repeated.
Stoves that are not in use should
be rubbed with kerosene oil to keep
them from rusting.
Add vinegar and sugar to stove
polish and it will shine much easier.
Polish glass with whiting.
To give a nice gloss to ironed
clothes add a teaspoonful of kerosene
to each quart of starch. All odor
evaporates when drying.
BREAKFAST OMELEr.--Four eggs
beaten vely light with one tablespoon
full of -four; add one cupful of milk.
Have cold spider well butteled and
turn the mixture into it, set it on the
stove where it will have an even,
steady heat, but not burn, and let it
cook until the egg sets; then scatter
seasoning of salt, pepper, a little but
ter, and, if liked, little chopped
parsley. Slip the knife round tie
edges and turn one half of the omelet
on to the other half; put on hot
plate, and serve directly.

potatoes with the skins on. When
cool, pare and slice them very thin,

tie chopped parsley, salt, and pepper,

GRLs F1Rsr.-The best husbands /
ever met came out OF a family where
the mother, most heroic and self-de-
nying woman, laid down the absolute
law, "Girls first" Notin any author
ity, but first to be thought of as to
protection and tenderness. Conse-
quently, the chivalrous care which
these lads were taught to show to
their own sisters naturally extended
itself to all women. They grew up
true gentlemen-gentlemen, gener.
Gus, unexacting, courteous of speech
and kind of heart. In them was the
protecting strength of manhood,
which scorns to use its strength ex-
cept for protection; the proud homes.

mean women will always be found
ready to do it, but which, think, all
honest men and brave women would
not merely dislike but utterly despise.
