How to Fill Those Cracks in
Furniture.

Unsightly cracks in furniture
may be filled in with beeswax.
First soften the wax until it is of
the consistency of putty, then press
it firmly and smoothly into the
cracks with a thin steel knife.
Sandpaper over the surrounding
wood and work the dust into the
beeswax. This gives a wood finish
or color, and when the furniture is
vanished the cracks will have dis
appeared.
Beeswax is better than putty, for
putty soon dries, crumbles and
falls out. while the wax will re-
main for an indefinite length of
time without change.

Tests for Artificial Silk.

Artificial silk is usually made OF
cellulose material, as wood pulp,
treated chemically in such a way
that a more beautiful luster than
that of real silk results. 1t is not
as soft, strong or elastic as true
silk. 1t is weakened by washing
and may even go to pieces in boil
ing hot water. Artificial silk may
be detected by burning sample.
Silk burns slowly and gives an
odor like that OF burning feathers.
while artificial silk burns rapidly,
with an odor of burning paper.
Floss, stockings, sweaters, draper
les and braids, as we'll as dress
goods, are often made OF all or
part artificial silk

RECIPES FOR THE DAY.

Foamy Sauce - One-fourth cup
butter, one cup powdered sugar,
whites of two eggs, one teacup of
boiling wateS and one teaspoon
corn starch boiled together 10
minutes or more. Cream butter
and sugar, add unbeaten whites Of
eggs, beat thoroughly, add any
fiavoring desired, and just before
serving add to boiling cornstarch
water and stir until foamy.
Cranberries placed in crooks and
covered with cold water are said
to keep long time.
Slip a few strong rubber bands
into the shopping bag before leav
ing home. They will prove great
convenience, when several small
parcels can be made into one with
the aid of these elastics.
Scrambled Eggs = Take the
double boiler and put into it one
butter and break in four
eggs and two tablespoons milk or
cream; season with pepper and salt
and stir over the fire. This makes
a very creamy scrambled egg and
much more digestible than when
cooked directly over the fire.
