When cleaning the bars Of new
or rough stove, IL they are first rubbed
over with a cloth dipped in vinegar
and water the blacklead will be found
to adhere, and a brilliant polish will
be the result.
The bars OF crate often have a
burned appearance, which prevents
their taking a good polish. This diff
Guilty is soon overcome. Before apply
ing the black lead rub the bars with
a piece of lemon and they will be quite
easy to polish well afterward.
Bacon rinds can be utilized many
ways, so do not throw them in the gar

They make an excellent seasoning

To Clean JewelrY.

Diamonds may be washed in lath-
err of soap, rinsed with cold water, and
polished with a channels leather. Just
before polishing rub little eau de
cologne on the stones. Other precious
stones may be cleaned with cold water
and yellow soap, then lay them in
sawdust to dry. Opals should be
cleaned with a wet leather and polish
ing afterwards with precipitated chalk,
finally rinsing in cold water. Gold and
silver ornaments only require wash
ing In cold, soapy water, to which a
few drops of ammonia have been add
ed; leave them in this for an hour and
then rinse in clean water. Ivory orna-
ments, brushes, etc., should be rubbed
with little peroxide of hydrogen and
placed in the sun to dry.

Save all lemon rind, dry 1t in the

To remove tar from any dress mate

To clean black lace, first wash in

Before frying onions for steak, etc.,
parboil them first, and they will not

due to emptiness Of the blood vessels
of the stomach and it is pointed out
that hunger is appeased with the rush
of blood to the stomach, following the
taking Of food and beginning of diges-
ton. In many anaemic persons. who
have no appetite when the stomach is
empty, the blood vessels of the stom-
ach are really congested instead of
being empty. Lack of blood in the
stomach in health acts on a special
nerve, which is branch of the same
nerve trunk as the nerves of the
mouth and tongue. A stimulus ap-
piled to the tongue, as by a spice, thus
increases appetite, while disease af-
fecting the nerves of the tongue may
produce loss of appetite even when
the stomach is empty.
