Hints For the
Household

The uses to which eggs rpay be
put are many, apart from their en-
ployment as food. A mustard plaster
made with the white of an egg will
not leave a blister. The white skin
that lines the shell of an egg is a
useful application for a boil. The
white of an egg beaten with loaf
sugar and lemon relieves hoarseness-
a teaspoonful taken once every hour.
An egg added to the morning cup of
coffee makes an invigorating tonic.
A raw egg with the yolk unbroken,
taken in a glass OF wine, is very ben
eflcial for convalescents.
To make frozen mutton taste equal
to English, place the joint in large
basin and pour over 1t sufficient
boiling water to cover in which q
lump of soda the size Of hazel nut
has been dissolved. Leave for TWEEN
ty minutes, then remove, wash off
with cold water, dry with a cloth, and
season before cooking.
To "break In" new pen point
quickly, dip it in ink and hold it in

second. Wipe and dry with a cloth,
and then it will hold ink as we'll as
one much older.
If you have a hollow tooth and it
aches, cut a piece Of Glove to fit the
cavity and put it in lightly, allowing
the upper part to stick out like a
cork in a bottle. 1t will soon swell,
keeping the air from the nerve, and
the pain will cease until the Glove
drops out, when it may be replaced
by another
When a pipe from a lavatory basin
or a bath becomes clogged with soap,
mix a handful of soda and a handful
of common salt together and force 1t
down into the pipe. Leave this for
half an hour, then pour down a large
kettleful of boiling water, afterwards
rinsing the pipe thoroughly with
warm water.
To prevent flies from settling on
pictures and furniture, soak some
leels in a pail of water for some time
and wash the articles in the water.
Cucumber rind cut into thin slips

Hint for the NewIy-Weds,

How many mothers instruct their
daughters that they must try to love
their husbands relatives just as we'll
as they love their own? Very few
and many will assert that no such in
struction should be given; but some
of us think that it ought. 1t is safe
thing to do-for the chances are 10000
to one that no girl could ever 60
so far as that, try as faithfully as she
might. But she can surely learn to
love her husband s family, and she
will add immensely to his comfort by
so doing. Their ways" are doubtless
very different from hers. Sometimes
they receive her with coldness and
suspicion; but by practice and kind
ness and loving attention she can
usually win them. 1t is her mothers
part to teach her this patience and
kindness before she is married. The
art of being good daughter-in-law is
a noble one, and like all other arts
it can, to considerable extent, be
taught.-Leslie's Weekly.

Once Upon a Time,

Once upon a time there lived and
flourished in a small city a worthy
man. He was devoted to his native
place; he loved its streets and stones,
it's strange odors, it's smoke, it's high
rates. its Indifferent water supply, it's
clubs and cafes and everything about
it. Nothing could induce him to leave
it even for the briefest period. In
vain did the railway companies spread
their holiday arrangements before his
eyes; he returned with the more salts
faction to his favorite seat overlook
ing the central square. And, then, one
day, the king of that country, who was
full of capricious impulses, issued a
decree that no one in this little city
should ever leave it again, under pain
of fearful penalties. And Immediately
our friend began to be consumed with
longing for travel.-Punch.
