A useful cement for mending
earthen or stone jars, stopping leaks in
the seams of tin pans or iron kettles, or
tightening loose joints of iron or wood,
is made by mixing litharge and glycer-
inc to a thick cream. This will resist
acids, heat and cold, if the article is
not used until the cement is hardened
To test the heat of lard in deep fry
ing, put in piece of bread, and if 1t
browns while you count sixty, your fat
is hot enough for raw material. If it
browns while you count forty, it is
right for food prepared from cooked
material, such as croducttes. Use

"A good hcarth-rug for the kitchen
can be made by taking good piece of
sacking, about the size required. and
turning it in all round for 4 hem, then
sewing on it with strong thread bits of
bright woolen cloth cut in pieces one
half inch wide and about two inches
long. Bits of similar size are often
knitted with some coarse twine into
rugs. We have seen handsome silk rugs
made this way.
