Kitchen Necessities.

There are several articles OF immense
importance to the various duties of house
wifery. but which are conspicuously abb
sent Without charging. let me mention;
A small funnel. a whlsk broom, a batter
cake turner and mops. large and small
sizes. a mop is made by cutting or tear
ing strips OF any cast-of material into
lengths of ten inches. Lay thirty or forty
CLOSE together, with rod placed so as to
tie the middle Of the strips around the rod
and one inch from the end. Allow the ends
pointing toward the top of the rod 10 fall
over the others, then bind, TO look like a
tasseI, and use two double tacks 10 keep
from slipping off.
