not change the color, will brighten its
service and dry in one hour.
To Clean Looking Glasses-Take a
newspaper, fold it small, dip it in a
basin of clean, cold water. When
thoroughly wet, squeeze it out as you
do a sponge. Then rub IL pretty
hard all over the surface of the glass,
taking care that 1t is not so wet as to
run down in streams. In fact. the
paper must be completely moistened
a few minutes then go over the glass
with n piece Of fresh. dry newspaper
till it looks clear and bright.
To Clean Leather Furntture-An
excellent way of cleaning leather fur
niture is t. wipe with a damp cloth
to take off the dirt. When it is dry
wipe again with a soft cloth dipped in
beaten white of an egg. Let the egg
dry and then polish with a soft cloth.
Water made very strong by boiling
onions in it will clean gilt frames or
ornaments without injury.
Put bIctter over grease spots on
paper and apply a hot iron until
heated through. Repeat IL necessary.
When vegetables become wilted and
stale before you can use them, place
them for an hour in gallon of water
to which a teaspoonful of baking
soda has been added. They will be as
crisp and fresh as when gathered
from the garden.
Things Worth Knowing.
Put charcoal in bottom of pots for
plants which are liable to become pot
rooted, especially ferns.
