A Few Useful Hints.

If any fat has spattered the stove
while frying or brOiling wipe it off i'm
mediately with a newspaper.
1t is said that freckleS can be re-
moved by washing the skin in water
in which is dissolved a small quantity
of bOraX.
A mote may be removed from the
eye, or the pain at least allevlated, by
putting a grain of fax seed under the
lid.
Never add wine or flavoring extracts
to dish till it is cold. 1t put in
while hot much of the flavor passes
off in the steam.
A little linseed oil brushed over
faded green blinds will, if they are not
too far gone, make them look almost
as good as new.
A little saltpeter or baking soda
mixed with water in which cut flowers
are placed win keep them fresh for a
long time.
