Household Hints.

Coffee stains, even when the coffee has
been mixed with cream or milk, may be
removed by rubbing the spots with pure
glycerin. Rinse afterward In lukewarm
water and press on the wrong side OF
the fabric (either silk or wool may be %
treateO with a warm iron.
In cleaning hric-a-brac, especially china
pieces. 1t is q good plan to use an old
shaving brush. 1t is useful in busting
crevfces and Is also excellent for use
while washing pieces. Instead Of putting
soap In the water use a tablespoonful Of
ammonia In a gallon of warm water.
To whiten handkerchiefs which have
become discolored through careless wash
ing, dissolve some pipe clay I'm warm

solution all night. Next day wash and

To Polish China.

Polish as applied to china sounds un-
familiar to the ears of the rushing type
Of housekeeper who "polishes" silver and
'scours'' tins. but who "washes'' and
wipes" her china, and that in the quick
est way she can.
Beautiful china requires as much care
as beautiful anything else. There are
some matrons who never allow their
rare pieces to go to the kitchen. but
who have brought to them a tray and
two pans of water in the dining room,
where they themselves mon and then
rinse, dry and polish to the point of
shining all of their daintiest wares, which
they then place in the closet under lock
and key.
There are, again. others who turn over
these delicate bits to the tender minis
trattons Of trusted servant, who keeps
them in the dining room or nearby pan

Now. this recital is but to convey the
polishing idea. ALI china will look its full
value only when highly polished. and
the dubious tea towel will not contribute
to success along these lines. Plenty OF
towels. perfectly dry. perfectly fresh and
clean.- must be on hand after each meal

The English Way.

The English custom of allowing so many
pounds and ounces Of food a week to
servants is practically unknown in this
country. The Queen contains the follow
ing explicit figures in regard to servants
allowances:
THE usual allowance for tea is a quar-
ter of a pound head a week, and as
long as the servants keep within this l
should not bother much about when they
have their tea; butter. half pound a
head a week for eating purposes; sugar,
from half a pound to a pound a head
weekly: cheese. from half a pound to a
pound weekly, according to whether you
allow meat for supper or not
1.-The cocoa you would reckon separately
from the tea, as you allow 1t instead of
beer; the amount Of this required depends
greatly on the quality Of the cocoa. but
with good brand you would allow a
teaspoonful or rather under to each cup,
30 that If the servants have it once q day
you would reckon two ounces head a
week. For meat the usual allowance is
from one-half to three-quarters of a
pound a head a day, the latter including
bone; anything beyond seven pounds a
head weekly indicates waste or dishon-
esty.'

MoIasses Goodies.

Relieving Tired Feet.

Few women seem to know the relief
that results from changing the shoes as
soon as one goes indoors. There are two
reasons for resting power produced by
changing the shoes One IL that in the
street are worn heavier shoes than are
required in the house: the other is that q
slight difference in shaping permits the
pedal cords and muscles to relax. Shoes
for the street should never be worn in
doors any longer than Is necessary to
change them. Women should give at
least half an hour each day to complete
relaxation. Late In the afternoon 10 the
