AROUND THE HOUSE
GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST
IN THE HOME.
Arabian System Of Making Coffee Has
Much to Commend lt-eood
Cement for Msndlns Of
Broken China.

Arabian Coffee-The Arabian plan
Of making coffee is to boil the grounds
from one meal for about an hour and
a half to strain It, and to use the
liquid part boiling hot next dav. BY
this method, the small amount OF nour.
ishment which coffee contains is en-
traeted and the flavor Of the coffee is
improved
Paper Bags-Never store food for
any length Of time In paper bags. The
paper Of such bags is manufactured
from coarse and dirty rags, which
are, however, to some extent cleansed
and sterilized during manufacture, but
the paste with which the bags are
stuck is OF the coarsest description,
and the manufacture Of the bags is not
always carried on amid the most SAM
tary conditions. Good tins or earthen
ware or glass jars with well.ftting
lids answer the purpose best.
Broken China-An excellent cement
for broken china can be made By mix.
ing lime to a paste with the white OF
an egg. A little should be smeared
ON the broken edges, which should be
pressed tightly together, and kept in
position by tying with tape or by
straps Of stamp edging. The great go.
cret in mending any fracture, no mat.
ter whether china with cement or
wood with glue, is to use as little as
possible Of the adhesive substance,
and to press the broken edges very
firmly together
Color Stains--Often garment has
become stained by a color which has
run out Of another when many gar
menta we're all washed together OF
when a moist garment has been Worn
over another and impaired It's color
The garment should be covered al
once with plenty of clear cold water
and left for ~ hours, then hung out
to dry.
Remove Glass Stopper-Wind a soft
stout string around the neck OF the
bottle twice and while some one holds
It draw the string back and forth al
great speed. This friction heats and
expands the neck so that the stopper
Is easily removed
Draw Curtalns-A satisfactory sub
stitute for a brass rod is a piece Of
narrow band elastic drawn through
and sewed securely AZ each end anC
catching in loop OF narrow tape. The
length OF the elastic should be abou
two inches less than t. width of the
windows and the loops caught over |
hook, nail or screw at each side OF thu
easement. This will keep the top edg,
Of the curtain in straight line.
Toothbrushes-A toothbrush, Tx,
shoes, will wear much longer II II 4
alternated with another toothbrush
and thus is wet only every other day
Every toothbrush should either stant
up or hang up, thus allowing all mois
ture to dry OF quickly.
