HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
EASIEST WAY TO CLEAN SHOES.
It is -not generally known that ths
easiest way to clean shoes or rubber
overshoes which have become muddy is
with vaseline. A little “swab’’ of flannel
on the end of a stick is good for this
purpose. Even if the vaseline touches
the hands, it forms a coating over them
so that the task is not so unpleasant as
it otherwise would be. Such a dressing
as this is sufficient for some fine kid
shoes, but others may need a c-oat of
polish. If the polish is put on after a
coat of vaseline, it is not liable to crack
the leather and it lasts much longer.
Rubber overshoes, especially, look much
better and last much longer if cleaned in
this way than if they are washed in
water .—New York Tribune.
BUYING POTATOES,
When the prudent housekeeper has
made her choice, she is wise if she orders
her potatoes directly from the grower,
thereby saving twenty to tweutv-five
cents per bushel. If possible, crates
should be used to store them in; these
crates are made to hold a bushel, and
they can be taken to the grocer, who will
fill and return them; some farmers fur¬
nish them, charging their price extra.
The advantage is, that the potatoes are
not tumbled about and bruised, and that
they are convenient to handle, while an
occasional change of the position of the
crate in the cellar gives air on all sides
and retards the growth of sprouts. In the
construction of these crates, four posts
one inch square form the foundation, and
to them are nailed strips of lath seventeen
inches in length, forming an interior
sixteen inches square.— St. Louis Star-
Sayings.
WASTE MATTER IN FOOD.
Besides the volume of water, whole¬
some food-substances contain about the
same proportion of so-called waste mat¬
ter, i. e., the uneatable parts, like bone,
skin, parings, etc.; the office of these
parts is to forward digestion, for food
too concentrated would be impossible
to digest. The woody fibre of vegetables,
the cores and skins of fruit, the bran of
cereals, are all waste substances, indis¬
pensable to digestion; food containing a
good proportion of waste is called “re¬
laxing,” like the various brown breads
and fresh fruit; such concentrated foods
as white bread, eggs, condensed milk,
dried fi-h and meat, arc “constipating,”
that is, they interfere with the free ac¬
tion of the digestive organs. Another
injury to these organs lies in the use of
much cold food; no substance can be di¬
gested under a temperature of at least
blood-heat, and either the heat of fire or
of the stomach must supply that tem¬
perature .—New York Observer.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Piano keys should be cleaned with s
sponge or a soft rag dipped in alcohol.
A rent in a dress should be darned
with ravelings of the material. If neat¬
ly done and properly pressed the darn
will never be noticed.
An ordinary cold should never be ne¬
glected. It may wear away, and then
again it may lead to bronchitis, pneu¬
monia and consumption.
Fresh meat should never oe left
w’rapped up in paper, because paper is a
great absorbent,and will soon extract all
the juices from the meat.
A large palette knife will bn found an
invaluable addition to the kitchen uten¬
sils. The blade is so flexible that it can
be put to a thousand uses.
Cold tea or clear water should be used
in washing grained woodwork. To re¬
move finger-marks a little fine soap can
be used. Ammonia destroys the varnish.
A good perfume for closets and
drawers, and one that will help to keep
the moths away, is made of one ounce of
cedar, rhubarb and cloves, pulverized to¬
gether. Put the powder between cot¬
ton and tie in a bag.
Vegetable or fruit sandwiches are re¬
commended as new delicacies for pic¬
nics. The newest dainty sandwich is
made of nasturtium leaf, sprinkled w-ith
a little salt, and set between two round
slices of biscuit and butter.
Chemists say that potatoes should al¬
ways be boiled in their jackets, as there
are various elements detrimental to the
wholesorneness of the vegetable that are
absorbed by the skin, and that potatoes
that are peeled before boiling retain
some of these elements.
One of the many cures for earache is
to mix well together ten drops of lauda¬
num, one-half grain sulphate of morphia
and one-half ounce of glycerine. Apiece
of cotton well saturated with this mix¬
ture should be inserted in the ear and re¬
newed every fifteen minutes till the pain
ceases.
The digestibility of vegetables de¬
pends in a great measure on the amount
of starch they contain. To free this ele¬
ment and have it thoroughly incorporate
itself with the other elements in the
vegetable a great amount of heat is neces¬
sary. Hence it is that all vegetables
should be put down to cook in boiling
water.
Jlothers and nurses will find the fol¬
lowing carminative powder very valuable
when "baby has the colic: five Drop grains on of half oil
an ounce of lump sugar
of aniseed and two of peppermint. Put
the sugar in a mortar, add a dram of
magnesia and reduce to a fine powder.
A small quantity of this mixed with a
little water will give almost instant re¬
lief.
How to Cook Chickens.
Spring chickens at this season, and
later, are in the market, and are a dainty
article of food which can be prepared in
a variety of appetizing ways, besides the
usual To mode of frying or broiling.
have chickens or any poultry in
perfection it is dressed. very necessary When to have
them properly conven¬
ient it is always best to kill them the
night before using.
To cut a chicken up properly, after
picking and drawing, lay on a board,
cut off the feet, then the wings, after
which cut the breast in two, also the
back. The garnishes for spring chickcu
are parsley, sliced lemon and catsup.
To broil spring chicken, split a half-
grown spring chicken down the back,
twist the tips of the wings over the sec¬
ond joint; wipe dry; spread out, and
break the breast-bone with the rolling-
pin, Put on a greased gridiron over a
clear fire, rub with clarified butter. Turn
often to prevent scorching. When half
•2one, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
When thoroughly done put on a hot dish
with melted butter and a little mushroom
catsup. Garnish with squares of toasted
bread.
Spring Chicken Dressed as Terra¬
pin.— Boil a young chicken, cut in pieces,
and put in a stew pan with soup stock to
cover. Stir in a quarter of a pound of
butter and one beaten egg. Season • ith
salt, pepper and thyme; add two hard-
boiled eggs cut up, and the juice of a
lemon. Boil and serve with w ild grape
jelly.
Galvanic Coating for Plaster Casts.
Hitherto in the galvanic coating of
plaster casts there has been a difficulty in
stopping the pores of the surface so ef¬
fectually as to prevent the gai\ unic bath
penetrating into the interior of the plas¬
ter and there producing first erystaliza-
tion and then disintegration. This ob¬ by
stacle appears to have been overcome
the discovery that saturation in tan not
only closes tip the pores of the plaster,
but aids very considerably in its strength.
Specimens so prepared have been covered
with copper one millimetre thick, a
thickness which is not only sufficient to
resist atmospheric influences, but which
enables the surface to be further worked
up and finished by hand. The price be of
a cast coated with copper is said to
one fifth of the cost of a copper casting.

Humor.
Under certain restrictions humor, or
“a keen sense of the ridiculous,” is a val¬
uable gift, enabling a man to avoid some
of the snares and durk places of life; but
with some it is undeniably a dangerous
gift. If indulged in beyond the limits of
“becoming mirth” it becomes destructive
of reverence for that which is sacred ami
lessens the appreciation for the high and
nobler aims of life. Especially is it the ease
with the youth. A youth with little rev-
ereuce is prone to develop into ano’d age
of cynicism, despisir g all things and de¬
spised by all mankind. If the humorous
individual does not appreciate generosity,
kindness, morality, and religion, he too
often outs!ops the modesty of nature and
sacrifices his own sc-lf-respect for the ef¬
fect of the moment.
