HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A little lemon juice rubbed on brown hags, boots, etc., will remove stains. To remove ink stains from linen saturate the stains with pure glycerine. Let this remain on for 24 hours,-then wash out the stains in very hot water. Light-colored furs which have become soiled should never he put away in a dirty condition. Warm some bran, and well rub into the fur; shake it well, and the fur will he found to look like new. A tin-covered table in the kitchen is infinitely better than wood, which absorbs every drop of grease, and is difficult to clean. Tin needs no scrubbing, is impervious to hot kettles, and’does not grease. A nice furniture polish is made with equal parts of methylated spirit, turpentine, linseed oil, and vinegar. Wash furniture with warm water, lot dry, then apply polish. A light rubbing is all that is needed, as this polish is not at all sticky, but dries hard like varnish. Broom covers are made of pieces cf heavy flannel or old sheeting large enough to admit the broom, and drawn together at the handle with a tape. The walls and ceilings may lie easily cleaned with these covers, and they can be washed. Every housewife should have several.

Any black round, the rim can be wiped off with damp cloth afterwards. This is the only sure method, and is used in the trade.
