Household Hints.

Rubbing silver or plated egg spoons
with a little liquid ammonia and salt
VIII remove the discoloration caused
by the sulphur in the egg.
Those VINO object to tea leaves for
sweeping carpets can use freshly cut
grass instead. 1t answers the same
purpose for preventing dust and gives
the carpet a fresh, bright look.
Take furs or pillows infested with
moths and put them into a brick oven
which has just been used for baking
Let them remain over night, and the
next Cly beat them well in the open
air
The best way to clean carpets and
rugs is to dip a cloth in hot, soapy
water. squeeze it and rub the carpet
Well two or three times. 1t will bring
All lint and dust away and make the
carpet or rug equal to new.
Begin to bone any birds by first
taking out the breast bone. when you
will have sufficient space to remove
the back with a sharp knife. and then
the leg bones. The skin must not be
broken, but the meat of the legs
must be pushed inward
The custom of brushing a tablecloth
instead of shaking it has two good
points. 1t does not scatter the crumbs
abroad, but collects them tidily, and
il does not crumple the cloth, which
was sadly spoiled by the old time
method of clearing the table.
Great care should be taken of baby S
little finger nails. They are often brit
tie and should be very carefully cut.
so that there are no rough places to
catch i'll its clothing and be torn, as
this is very painful and it is a long
while before the nail grows again.
a very essential thing for health and
beauty is pure air. therefore too much
attention cannot be given to the ven
tilation of both sleeping and living
rooms, as well as to ones clothing.
which should from time to time be
hung out in the air to freshen and
sweeten. while garments worn next to
the skin during the day should always
be removed before going to rest.
Never leave soap standing in water.
because 1t wastes it: never throw
shells of soap away, but put them in
a gar, fill up with water. put in the
oven and let it boil well, with a lid
over the top, and when the soap is all
dissolved take it out and put it to cool.
ana you Will be able to cut it out
therefore you can use it again. 1t is
very useful for washing flannels.
