In Bathroom and Cellar.

No part of the house needs more at
tention than the bathroom, which is
sometimes an unsightly place. Ordl-
nary brown kitchen soap is a good soap
for bathroom clea ming, as it is strong
d;sinfectant. Lye is an ingredient IN
all brown and yellow common soaps.
and for this reason these soaps have a
distinct disinfectant value. Never use
sand soap FOR cleaning porcelain tub
or waShstanG. 1t will mar the surface
ard make it look like ground glass.
Use ammonia in the water instead, but
if dirt grease requires an extra
cleanser. dampen the scrub cloth with
kerosene and later wash with warm water.
If the tub is enameled. scour with a
cloth made of a salt bag, which has
been thoroughly moistened with turpen-
tire. and polish with a clean cloth Save
all salt bags for this purpose.
Frequent care must be given the
waste pipes of the bathroom. They
sh ould be sca!ded with strong solu-
tion of chloride OF lime for ten minutes
at time. This will keep them clean.

to broiI fish or bake pudding, but
quite another to make the particular
sauce that will most perfectly bring

tein sauces. The tartness OF apple

the rich flavor of pork, while roast

sp0onfuls of mint, put into a small
basin, add two dessert spoonfuls OF
sugar. then drop one tablespoonful OF
salad oil on it; then add quarter OF
a pint of good white vinegar; If too
strong, little water may be added.
Almond Sauce Blanch one and a
half ounces OF sweet almonds, add
seven bitter almonds, two spoonfuls
" orange flower water, yolks of two
eggs. three tablespoonful of cream,
two tablespoonfuls of sugar. put then,
