How to Clean Marble


 Have you a good recipe for cleanAng marble that will not eat it up? Some thing that will clean tombstones when the letters become soiled? C.. w.
 Use no soap. Make a paste of lemon juice and whiting, spread it upon the stained marble, and let it dry there for five or six hours. Then wash it off with pure soft water. If the marble be badly discolored, leave the paste on all day and night; wash with soft clean water; wipe dry and wash as before, then renew the paste. Leave it a day and a night longer, and when it is again dry, after the last wash, sponge with peroxide of hydrogen. I have seen darkly discolored marble restored by the process Scrub the lettering with the paste also, and leave it on, as with the rest of the stone You may have to SCOUT the inscription well with a stiff brush and peroxide of hydrogen when the rest of the marble is cleaned. Never try to clean marble with soap. It is sure to yellow it in the long

Diet for the Stout

"It would please me and may please many others if you would give us list of different dishes and how to make them so that stout people may eat them when on diet. It's so hard to find anything to eat. It is the same thing over and over again with me. You write so many helpful things, turn to you, and if you see fit to write on this subject I'll appre- ciate it. PERPLEXED"
 It would be encroaching upon the prov ince of those who have charge of the health department were I to undertake to write out the dietary you would like to have I may, however. remind you that milk, butter, and fatty foods of all kinds, together with starchy edibles, are fattening. Likewise sweets, beer, and ale. Fruit acids, lean meats, gluten bread, and tea without cream are among the articles of diet recommended in connec- tion with regular exercse-for reducing adipose tissues. Drink little water be- tween meals and none with tom, and never seat to repletion. Study self-denial in eating and drinking, and train down superfluous flesh by outdoor exercise, practiced steadily and reso!utely. I have in mind one young fellow who chopped wood and ran races and swan three times day all summer to bring down his redunant flesh, coming out in the autumn brown and brawny, light of foot and trim of figure, having lost 50 pounds
 in weight. But the system requires pluck and perseverance.

 MRS. P. N. D."
 An attractive "miscellany' which speaks for itself. It reads like chapter from a pioneers diary. But the heroine of the rural sketch is in nowise daunted by the unpromising environment. She IS gloriously alive to the sublime truth that her mind to her kingdom is'' and that she has taken with her what the desert cannot destroy. Music, books human kindness, thirst for knowledge and long ing to share her treasures with others we read all this and more in her lively narrative. Her spirit is delightfully."- con- tagious. Lovers of music will see that the domestic orchestra is not silent for want of material for practice. The mag azines she would share with readers will not go a-begging, and she must be told how to secure the window boxes in place.

CoIoring Crepe Waists

"A correspondent brings forward the
 case of her grievous trouble with ink in
 crepe de chine waists. Her story brought
 several items to my mind which l find
 most useful. I should like to share them
 with others. Concerning crepe de chine
 waists, they usually turn yellow after a
 few washings, if white. When my waist
 is new dip it in alum water. This pre-
 serves the snowy whiteness so much de-
 sired. I never use strong soap or have
 the water hot. I treat hose and gloves
 the same way. I put the gloves on my
 hands, then wash as if I were washing
 my hands, using a soft brush for the tips of the fingers and badly soiled places. If wish to change the appearance of my crepe de chine waists to a delicate color let fall few drops of red ink into the
 rinsing water, or color the water with red paper I use yellow paper for a deli cate cream. For ink stains I use milk and salt for the most delicate fabrics. With patience and constant dipping milk and salt work wonders Lemon and salt and sunshine will remove mildew and iron rust by frequent dampening. Use perox- idle of hydrogen for scorch; rinse well. Clean satin with denatured alcohol. Straw hats may be cleaned, with a piece of velvet dipped in alcohol. Rub a piece of crinoline over suede shoes, purses, etc. Rub your Panama hat with oatmeal. For grass stains, rub the spot with mo,asses,
 then wash in clear water. Fer chocolate stains soak in kerosene, then wash in cold water. 10. M. $. One who is evidently an adept in the nice progress of cleaning dress stuffs of all kinds had the floor and will be lis- tened to with breathless interest by a host of her sisters. Crepe de chine is a popular fabric for summer wear and, be- ing usually of delicate shades soils with alarming ease. Our girls and mothers or girls will clip out this letter and pre- serve it jealousy. Housewives, driven to distraction by fruit stains and iron rust; youths who sport Panama hats and link singers of all ages may find aid and comfort in the list of trustworthy deter sives. It is valuable throughout, and the member who contributes it should
 have a vote of thanks. It is too long for repetition this summer, be the exigency what it may. Hence the injunction to preserve it for reference.

To Fill Floor Cracks

Sometime ago I read in the Corner or elsewhere a formula for making d paste which would fill cracks in the floor It was, I think, made of salt and ashes. I do not recollect if there was anything else in it. nor the propor- tions and quantity need for the work. If any of your readers know of this formula and will send it to the corner, I shall be greatly obliged. I enjoy the Corner much and shall be glad to con- tribute magazines to anybody who cares enough for them to pay the post age. c. A. H."
 I do not know in what part of the pa per you saw the formula for filling for floors made of ashes and oalt. I am quite sure no such has appeared in the Corner. I refer your query tt fellow members. who may have heard of the preparation. or who can tell you of any other methods of filling the cracks satisfactorily. We keep your address and thank you cordially for the offer of magazines.

Home-Made Milk Chocolate

Some one has asked why she could not make milk chocolate at home like that which is sold I have wonered why myself, but about year ago my sister went through chocolate plant and learned the reason. She said the mixture was put up in big vats with sort of pad dle in it, and this ran for three days and nights to make milk chocolate bars. That must be why it is no soft and smooth; also why we cannot make it just like it at home. T. s."
 But why cannot we buy the milk bars and utilize them for the desired pur- pose? I am little puzzled by the con- fession of inability to make what is some times called "milled chocolate at home I have seen this done often by the use of a chocolate churn or mill. Will house. wives confer with us upon this point?
