UoUsEHoLD NOTES.

The Irish know how potatoes should
be cooked-not too soft and eaten the
instant they are done. Soggy potatoes
are utterly unit for human use.
II YOU would have your rose bushes
flourish. water them with the suds
from the tubs on washday. This
method will sply to most any growing
thing
Vinegar will keep the hands white
and smooth and prevent chapping
when exposed to the cold air. Rub the
vinegar on the hands after washing
them and before they are quite dry.
When making teas, instead OF the
usual spoonful for the pot, add lump
Of sugar. The tea will be just as strong.
When boiling vegetables never allow
them TO stop boiling until they are
done or they viii be soggy and heavy.
Delicious meat pssties are made of
leftover meats with seasoning, onions
and cold potatoes baked in a suet crust.
A good way to keep the cellar o.
dairy from having an unpleasant odor
is to whltewssh the walls with lime
that contains carbolic acid One ounce
OF carbolic acid to a gallon OF white
wash is the proper proportion.
A good silver polish IS made with
one-halfrpound Of prepared chalk mixed
With as much household ammonia as
the chalk VIII absorb. Add about four
tablespoonfuls Of denaturod alcohol:
put the mixture in jar that will seal
sufficiently TO keep out the dust
BY cleaning one room thoroughly
each month the house VIII be kept In
good shape. and that terrible task OF
housecleaning twice year avoided.
