HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Clean Laces.
Great care should always be used in
cleausing and doing up expensive lace
or tins embroidery, so as not to break
the meshes or threads in the work. They
must never be rubbed, but patted in the
hands. This will take out the soiled
places. Then put into an earthen dish
and pour boiling hot water over them,
Let them stand till cool, then rinse in
clear or blued water, if they are white;
if the yellow tint is desired, a little
strong will coffee put into the rinsing should water
give the right shade. Laces
never be starched very stiff; it spoils
their beauty aud makes them look un
graceful aud old. The figures must be
picked out smooth; then spread on a
clean white flannel and press with a cool
iron. Laces treated in. this way will
preserve their beauty uutii entirely used
up by old age.
How to Can Beef.
Beef may be canned in the following
manner: The meat is cooked by roast
iug, baking, of boiling, and either fresh
or corned. When well cooked it is cut
into suitable pieces and packed firmly in
the' cans, without the heads, so that the
contents can be made solid and till the
can completely. The covers are then
soldered on and the cans are put into a
boiler with a solution of chloride of lime,
■which boils at a much higher heat than
water, or in water under pressure. This
produces a heat which destroys all germs
of decomposition and leaves the meat iu
such a condition that it will remain un
the changed as long as air is excluded from
cans. I or domestic use meat of any
kind may be canned or preserved by cook
ing from it bone thoroughly, cutting it up free
and pressing it while hot in
glass cans and then pouring hot melted
lard or tallow to All tne bottles. The
bottles uire immediately sca.ed. Meat
thusqiut up will keep a longtime. This

That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a wasting. To
stop it effectually, a remedy must be used
that will search out the cause, remove that

cough. This is the power, special to itself,
possessed alone by Warner's Log Cabin Cough
and Consumption remedy. This is no new¬

an old-fashioned preparation of balsams,
roots and herbs, such as was used by our
ancestors many years ago, the formula of
