To clean a rusty grate rub it over with rather soft blacklcad and then leave it for a day. The blacklead and the rust may be then brushed off together, and the grate be- blackened again and polished as usual. Polish for Kid Boots: Beat up the white of an egg .with an equal quantity of water and a little sugar. If well made this compound is transparent and not at all sticky. It is good for all kinds of fine leather, especially kid. A simple yet excellent polish for steel work is ordinary brown knife polish, made into a thick paste with hot water. If this is. rubbed well in a bright polish will last for several days. However careful tho housewife may be of enamel saucepans, they will often barn and become much discolored.

It docs not need hard rubbing, as the marks will soon come off. ltinse well iu cold water, and the pan will be beautifully white. ■ , ———— —— “
