TO MEND PORCELAIN.
Useful Hint for the Careful House
wifa


wife.
To clean porcelains, the best plan is
to use soft soap, with an old tooth
brush. Should they be very dirty, a
little vitriol and water may be used,
but not on those decorated over the
glaze. The edges of piece that has
been broken and badly mended require
the greatest care in cleaning, for, if
not thoroughly cleaned, they can not
be made to properly adhere to one an
other. In this sort of work it is well
to proceed in order with first wash
ing in soap and water, then one in
vitriol and water. lastly a washing
with alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue,
grease, ETC., may still remain must be
removed by careful scratching with a
penknife.
To repair piece of pottery or por-
celain, after it has been well cleaned,
is often delicate task. When all the
fragments have been saved, and when
the piece is of small size, it is possible
to succeed by simply sticking them to-
gether with little silicate of potash
alone, or mixed with powdered plaster
of Paris The silicate can be had at
any druggists. But sometimes piece
is missing, and its place has to be filed
with plaster of Paris. Again, the sill
cate takes at least twelve hours to set
hard, and, meanwhile, it is often nec-
essary that the piece be supported in
order that it may not become detached.
1t is sometimes, in the case of very
valuable specimen, better to replace
fragment that has been lost, or has
been broken in pieces too small to be
reset, with an artistic mounting in
metal.-Art Amateur

PHYSICAL DEFECTS.


How to Correct the MaifOrmablOn OF IN
4 fantiie Members.
| Few intelligent people reflect how
many physical defects in the form ant
countenance of individuals are directly
traceable to negligence on the part O
| their mothers in childhood The
coarse, heavy nostrils, the projecting
ears, the shaggy eyebrows and en-
larged joints are as much traceable to
neglect as bow legs and knock knees
or those unhappy cases of curvature
1 of the spine that come direct from
| falls.
The newborn babe is an exceedingly
fragile little creature--a bundle OF
flesh and half-formed bone in which
the vital organs are incased AS scien-
fists tell us, the human baby is the
most helpless of all young animals, and
| is in. continual need of intelligent and
watchful care to save its existence.
Children that ''grow" like Topsy usu-
ally have malformed limbs and various
deformities, plainly the result of neg
lect. A very slight fall in childhood
may break the cartilage of the nose
and render that membrane as broad
and spreading as that of Guinea ne
gro.
The habit that some children have of
handling their nose makes the nostrils
coarse and large and takes away all
the delicacy from feature that goes
far toward making the man or woman
plain or ugly. Another habit that per-
manently disfgures the adult is that
of tying bonnet and cap strings tight
ly behind the ears in babyhood, as it
causes the ears to project Ears that
naturally project from the head may
be flattened to a desirable degree by
wearing little skeleton cap over them
in babyhood. Tying silk handker-
chief about them is not so desirable,
because the ear is an organ intended
by nature to be open to the air, and not
to be sweltered under close covering.
The coarse eyebrow is usually the re-
suit of an utter neglect of this feature
of the face. They should be brushed
smoothly in place in babyhood, and
coarse, long hairs, that sometimes grow
superfuously, should be pulled out.
Where the eyebrows are wanting, a
little vaseline rubbed in place will oft
en- produce the desired growth of hair.
Every mother knows that the back
of the infant child must be support
ed for three or four months after
he is. born. Failure to do this
may produce the most distress
ing malformations of the spine.
The curvature of the legs, which gem
orally comes from the child standing
too long on his feet, is very common
trouble. This is sometimes due to ex-
cessive flesh in the child, the weight of |
the body being too heavy for the legs,
but it more often occurs in the very |
nervous child, who begins to walk be-
fore the muscles are sufficiently strong |
for it to stand firmly on its limbs. The |
precocious child that would walk at |
ten months is always to be discour-
aged. Nothing is lost and much is
gained in strength and grace of carriage
if the child walks several months later.
No rule can be laid down, however, as
a safe period. Many children do not
make much use of their limbs until
they are two years old, and are none
the worse for their hardness. Y.
