Household Hints.

It is great annoyance to any one
to have borrowing neighbor.
Irons that have once been red-hot
will never retain the heat we'll again.
All housekeepers should know the
value for household purposes of pow
aered borax.
Morning headaches may frequently
be avoided by having the bedroom
properly and thoroughly ventilated.
Irons should never be allowed to
remain over the fire longer than is nec-
essary, but should be put at once in a
cool place free from dust and smoke.
Red pepper tea is very good for car
pet pests. If the floor is washed in q
solution of one-quarter of pound OF
red pepper to one gallon of water it
will do much to drive them away.
Colors that have been taken out can
be sometimes restored by sponging
with weak vinegar. If the color has
been taken out by an alkali, sponging
with chloroform is often effective.
Chamois-skin makes soft, durable
buster. It can be kept clean by wash
ing. 1t must be dried in the shade
and rubbed soft. 1t will hold little
dampness, if desired, which is salts
factory quality in a buster. Imitation
chamois may be used.
When having occasion to hang out
clothes in winter where frost is likely
| to stiffen them and injure the fabric,
this can be obviated by putting hand
full of coarse salt in the last rinsine
water and letting it dissolve before
putting in the articles under treatment
In buying poultry in the summer
select that which is plump and firm
As soon as it comes home from tn
market dry it thoroughly on coars
linen cloth. Then dress it ready TO
cooking. Young broiling chickens ar
the only ones fit to be eaten in sum
| mer.
A successful palm grower says h
has found that these plants thrive hes
when they are often treated to mill
and water sponge bath instead OF on
of clear water. The leaves then ar
not so likely to become defaced b
withered brown spots, but will kee
glossy and fresh.
