HINTS TO HousEKEEPERs.

An easy way to prepare croutons or
crusts for tomato or bean soup is to
butter one or two slices of bread on both
sides, cut in small squares and brown in
the oven.
For cleansing faucets: Use equal parts
Of fine sand and salt mixed with vinegar
to polish, and when thoroughly dry
rub a lemon over it to keep it from tar
nishing. This will be found an excellent
remedy for cleaning all kinds of copper
pans, etc., that are used on stoves for
cooking purposes.
It is worth while to recall, with the
trying winds of autumn upon us. that
a baked lemon is an excellent remedy
for hoarseness, and one often resorted
to by singers and public speakers. The
lemon is baked like an apple, and a lit
tie of the heated and thickened juice
squeezed over lump sugar.
A good way to clean lamp chimneys
is to hold the palm of the hand against
one end of the chimney and breathe into
the other, then wipe it carefully with a
dry cloth, which will remove all blackor
other stains. After this a better pol
ish can be given by rubbing it with q
cloth moistencd with alcohol.
