Cleaning With Nnphtha.

One of the things the home econo-
mist is forever saying is that she
cleans her gloves with naphtha. An
inexperienced woman who tries this
process generally does so with lament,
able results The gloves are wrinkled
and bear with them, too, unmistakable
evidences of their recent naphtha
bath. A woman, however, who AYERS
that gloves can be acceptably cleaned
with naphtha, says that she does it
by drawing the glove on the hand,
having first mended it neatly in case.
it needs it; then, with clean sponge,
kept for the purpose, and small
bowl of naphtha, she goes smoothly.
over the glove, rubbing one way until
all the spots are removed. Them
with clean towel she wipes the glove
over again before taking it of and
pinning it to towel. When several
are thus attached to the towel, she
puts it over chair or in some place
where the air will reach the gloves,
and she does not undertake to wear
them for at least week after they
have been thus cleahed.

Terms in Cooking.

Inexperienced housekeeper3 may
often be bewildered by the technical
phrases that are employed in house
hold recipes and directions. For in
stance, to shred suet denotes that the
suet is sliced very closely with sharp
knife, so that the fragments are fine
and thin. Oiled paper, for covering
the tops Of dishes, or Joint that is
not required to brown quickly, is made
by smoothing butter over sheet of
ordinary white paper To scald milk
means to bring it almost TO the boil,
but not quite. To lard meat is to
stick little fat pieces OF bacon into the
flesh with darning needle. To bind
q mixture is to mix sufficient egg with
the whole, SO that the different in
gradients may be induced to retain a
certain form. Cuwants are cleaned
by rubbing them in dry -four to loosen
the stalks and then by washing them
in warm water.
