TIIROAT.—Take a lamp of resin al large as a walnut, put it in an old teapot, pour boa. ing water on it, put the lid on, put the spout to your mouth, and the steam will cure the inflammation.  The fat of roast beef is especially nourishine; that of pork is at its beat when sliced thin and thoroughly cooked, as in the form of bacon, winch may usually be taken and enjoyed even by e delicate stomach.  Ordinary glass, not extra thick or strong, mar have holes bored in it by pressing a diso of wet clay upon the glass and making a hole through the clay of the width desired, so that the glass is laid bare here. Then molten lead is poured into the hole, and lead and glass drop down at once. This method is based on the quick local heating of the glass, whereby it obtains a circular crack, the outline of which corresponds to the outline of the hole made in the clay.  To keep moths away, place in tiny bags among the clothes packed away a mixture made by pound. lug together the following :—Two ounces of orris root and one ounce each of cinnamon, cloves, nat. meg, carraway seeds, mace, and camphor. When papering rooms, if the walls have been pre. viously papered, it is necessary to scrape off all old papers, not only from a sanitary standpoint, but also to ensure a complete success. Paperhangers cannot be too firm in advising their customers to have walls and ceilings scraped previous to re• papering. It is very easy to remove wall paper d it is sponged all over with warm water and then scraped off. Those who do their own wall papering will do well to buy cheap papers and renew them constantly. This is especially necessary for bed. rooms, where, Ma well.regulated house, they should be papered at least every three years. Pat on the lid of the saucepan when cooking any. thing, unless the recipe expressly states to the con. trary, as, for instance when cooking cabbage and other green vegetables after they have once boiled up. Not only is the steaming usually beneficial to the article in question, but when the steam is allowed to fill the kitchen it spoils the walls and cell. Mg. Again, if uncovered, food that is cooking is apt to smell very strongly, not only in the kitchen, but all over the house. Again, when soup, or any. thing greasy, is cooking, if it boils too fast it will smell strongly over the house. CRAMP IN vis Leas.—People who are subject to cramp in the legs should always be provided with a good strong piece of woollen cord, especially in their bedrooms. When the cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it round the leg, over the place that is cramped, take an end in each band and give it a sharp pull—one that will hurt a little—and the cramp will cease instantly. Persons subject to cramp when in bed have found great relief front wearing on each leg a garter of wide tape, which has several slices of cork (cut off a wine bottle cork) stitched on to it.  UNHEALTHFUL CLorruNct,—Among all the murderous forms of dress, underclothing takes the lead, and of this cotton and linen are the chief offenders. The cotton shirt especially is a vicious thing. When it has become damp from perspiration, it is virtu. ally air-tight, and a draught striking it converts it into a cold storage lining, which oonld not be better designed for pneumonia. A garment of genuine wool takes up the perspiration, and the warmth ot the body under it evaporates the moisture.
