QUESTIONS FOR HoUsEKEEPERs.

Did You ever clean vinegar bottles
with crushed eggshells III little
water?
Did you ever use nm oyster for bait
ing a rat trap? You will catch him,
sure!
Did you ever try to discover the
easiest methods of accomplishing the
household tasks?
Did you ever notice the difference
between old and new hour when used
for pastry? The old is always pre-.
! ferred.
Did you ever brush pie crust over
with the white of All egg before put
ting the fruit in? 1t will keep it from
becoming soggy.
Did You ever realize the Importance
of sailing the steak after it is broiled,
not before? Every housewife should
know the reason why.
Did you ever have occasion to clean
paint brushes in which the paint had
partially hardened? First soak them
in turpentine, then clean with soap
and water.
Did you ever have baking dishes or
cups spoiled by remaining too long in
the hot oven? The brown discolora
tions may be rubbed oil with flannel
dipped in whiting.
Did you ever want to tint the cake
frosting? Lemon Juice will whlten it,
the grated rind of an orange strained
through cloth will give it yellow
tint, and strawberry or cranberry juice
will produce pretty shade of pink.
Did you over make excellent iron
holders and at the same time utilize
the tops of n pair of worn ont boots OIL
shoes? Cut the leather into square.
and cover it with some suitable mate
rial, using rs many thicknessos OF
leather as desired, and whipping it

1t often happens that the woodwork
Oh doors, particularly near the
handles, will become quite dirty and
badly stained by the frequent running

In these cases it is sometimes found
impossible to remove the marks with

however undesirable. If this occurs
throw two tablespoonful of pulTcrlzed
borax into pail of hot water and
wash the paint with it. Do not use
brush, but if found impossible to re-

soap must DO resorted TO. Rub the
soap on the cloth, and then sprinkle
over the soap dry borax and rub the
spots faithfully, rinsing with plenty of
water. BY washing woodwork i'll this
