furniture Polish.

A recipe for a very superior furni-
ture polish given by a dealer in musical
instruments to q housewife as the
cause for the shining surfaces Of the
pianos IN his rooms consists Of four
tablespoonfuls of sweet oil, four table
spoonfuls Of turpentine, a teaspoonful
Of lemon juice and ten drops Of house
hold ammonia. This polish must be
thoroughly shaken before using and ap-
piled with an old flannel or silk cloth.
Rub briskly and thoroughly. which Is
at least a third of the merit Of all pol
!shes. Use a second cloth to rub the
mixture into the grain Of the wood and
a third for the final polish.

Eating a PfneanpIe.

A Florida fruit grower states that the
natives Of the pineapple district never
think Of cutting a pineapple across.
They pare It, cut It lengthwise, slice 1t
or not, and, with the trimmed crown as
q handle. eat 1t much as a New Eng
lander does his green corn, rejecting
the core. This, the writer states, not
only improves the flavor, but lessons
the strings of fiber that get In the
teeth.
