EVENING STAR. Househeld Hints. ‘The annexed valuable information immedi- ately connected with the duties and require- ments of s housewife, is from Dr. Hall's Jour- “ike earlier the breakfast, the more work will be got through with du: the day, and the Detter health will = household have, because miasma, which impregnate the air about sun- m all countries, especially in warm weather. Potatoes may be kepta very long time from Totting, in a cellar protected against frost, by dusting the floor or bin with lime; mrad ens down a layer of potatoes six inches thick; a dust with lime, another layer of potatoes, etc. One bushel or more of lime to forty of pota- toes; they — Jeast in the darkness. Fiannel shirts, or other woolens, should have grease spots removed without falling them bey: thus: Put one ox-gall in three gallons of cold Water, in which immerse the garment, and Squeeze or pound (not wring) it, until the ®pots are removed; then thoroughly wash in cold water, else the odor of the gall becomes very 4 able. I? burning fluid or benzole are used to re- Move grease or other stains, let it be at least two yards from candles, gas, lamp or ffre. Valuable lives are lost every year by neglect- ing this precaution. ‘Silk is kept good longer, if it is boiled, evap. orated, condensed, or kept still at a tempera- tare of about forty degrees. If three days in succession in summer, and two in Winter, (as per Guy Lussac’s experiments,) up to the builing point, it will keep two months Without souring. SaRPET SweerinG.—Draw the broom to you With sbort, quick strokes, taking up the dirt every balf-yard, in a dust-pan, or at each stair, and thus avoid working the dirt into the clean- er parts. Never use tea-leaves, paper or damp grass, to collect the dust, let the dust-pan do that. Erysipelas, a disease often coming without premonition, and ending fatally within three or four days, is sometimes promptly cured by applying a poultice of raw cranberries, pound- ed and placed on the part over night. 7 Costive bowels have an agreeable remedy in the free use of tomatoes at meals—their seed acting the way of seeds of white mustard or figs, by stimulating the coats of the bowels over which they pass in their whole state, to increased action. A remedy of equal efficien- cy in the same direction is cracked wheat— that is, common white wheat grains, broken in two or three pieces, and then boiled until it is as soft as rice, and eaten mainly at two meals of the day, with butter or molasses. Common sweet cider, boiled down to one- half, makes a most excellent syrup for coughs and colds, for children—is pleasant to the taste, and will keep throughout the year in a cold cellar. In recovering from an illness, the system has & craving for some pleasant acid drink. This is found in cider, which is piaced on the fire as made, and allowed to come to a boil, then cooled, put in casks. and kept in a cool cellar. Treated thus, i* remains for many months as good as the day it was made. ‘We once saved the life of an infant which had been inadvertently drugged with lauda- num, and was fast sinking into the sleep from which was no wakening, by giving it strong coffee cleared with the while of an egg, a tea- spoonful every five minutes, until it ceased to seem drowsy. S7 Major General Thomas has notified the authorities of Alabama of his readiness to re- Heve that State of the presence of Federal troops, but the Governor thinks it advisable that they be retained for the present, and until there shall be a suitable organization of the militia to preserve order and assist in the exe- cution of the laws. S7A disturbance occurred in Warrenton, on Christmas, between some of the troops sta- toned there, and a portion of the citizens. Some of the former were severely burt, and one of the latter, Andrew Withers, formerly a mem- ber of the 7th Virginia, was skot in the leg. T° THE VOTERS OF WASHINGTON.
