A half a teaspounful of table salt In a half a wineglass of water will often remove the ache in less than half an hour. It seems to sweeten the stomach, | from which most hcadaches come. CGE oe & To keep clothing looking well is an art and requires time. Never put a garment away after wearing till you have cleaned it thoroughly. If you have worn some- thing at right that is to be put away again hang the garment carefully over the back ef a chair or your clothes rack till morn- ing; then go over it with a brush and soft silk cloth, taking out every bit of dust, and if there are any spots cleaning them be- fore dust has a chance to settle in them, If bindings are ripped, buttons gone, trim- ming pulled loose, fasten it all in shape, then hang the garment away so that it will not be in wrinkles, and when you need to put it on again in a hurry your temper will not be in evidence for a whole day over a badly conditioned gown that you had not time to fix. The same is trae of hat, gloves and shoes. Five minutes’ care of them when laid aside will add weeks to their freshness. A well-groomed man or woman is known by the absolute neatness of the garments worn, rather than the latest cut in style or weave in fabrics. oe. Somehody {s always saying to use damp tea leaves on your carpet to lay the dust in sweeping. I wouldn't do it if | were you. Tea leaves will stain, no matter how well steeped. If the carpet is very dark it might do, but they will be sure to ruin a light carpet. Salt is a shade worse than tea leaves, for it makes the carpet sticky. Damp sawdust is clean and will take up the dust, but can’t always be procured. A cheap substitute is to tear paper into small bits and dip in cold water till wet, then squeeze dry and sprinkle over the carpet. To brighten up faded colors, wring a cloth out of a gallon of water in which you have put two tablespoonsful of ox gall. oe Coal oil is an excellent tonic for the hair, but is objectionable on account of its odor, which I cannot tell how to overcome. But if the oil is rubbed well into the roots of the hair with a soft sponge in the morn- ing, the odor will be almost gone by even- ing, and you can further dissipate it by a liberal application of bay rum rubbed in the same way. The coal oil cleans the scalp beautifully, and softens the hair. oe Fried banana is a palatable dish for breakfast, and gives that fruit a flavor all its own, and to many tastes much better than when eaten in the natural state. Take off the peeling and split thé banana in half. Have a hot frying pan with half an inch of melted butter in the bottom. Into this put the banana, being careful not to let it burn, but brown well on both sides. Just before lifting out sprinkle with sugar and set in the oven to crisp over the top. Serve on a hot dish. oe we ee Did you ever try apples baked in this way? Select all of a size and peel nicely, then remove the core, leaving a round hole straight through the apple. Make a paste of sugar, butter and a little grated nutmeg, and fill the hole in each apple with it and set in a buttered pudding dish. Then put a dozen little bits of butter over the . outside of the apples, sprinkle liberally with sugar and set in a hot oven to bake. Very tart apples are best : 2 Rice lends itself to a greater variety of dishes than any other article of food. It makes any number of sweet dishes and Gesserts, is excellent as flour, serves as a vegetable to use with meats or fish, makes delicious cakes for breakfast when cooked like batter cakes, and for made meat dishes has no equal, withal, being extremely cheap when the nutritive qualities of the cereal are considered, yet it is more often served up in unpalatable shape than almost any other dish. It needs delicate cooking and dainty treatment to bring out its palatable qualities. * *—@ 52 6 Generally speaking, coffee boiled is Coffee spoiled. The instant that {t boils up, it should be set back to steep for a few mo- ments. ee © we If your handsome Chinese umbrella hold- er gets broken, don’t throw it aside. Fast the pieces together with cement, and then apply a line cf some bright enamel paint or gilding along the crack. A streak or two of paint, either more or less, will not look ovt of place on Chinese bric-a-brac, for it all looks like a war map, anyhow. Cee gis abe Half an ounce of gum arabic dissolved in a gill of boiling water and thickened with plaster of paris makes an excellent cement for china. It must be used at once before hardening, which it does very rap- idly. ee ee If your old gilt picture frames are hope- lessly dull, give them a coat of white enamel paint and touch them up in lines or leaves with gold. ga ae, See Toe: When the color has been taken from a fabrie by an acid, liquid ammonia applied without diluting will often restore the color. It 1s well to experiment with scrap of the material first, however, there are some colors that will not stand ammonia at all. If rice or oatmeal or anything of that kind seems determined to cook to the bot- tom of the vessel, put a thin plece of tin or sheet iron between the kettle or pan and the stove. . ee ee “Taffeta pliese” 1s the latest and most stylish novelty in the dyess goods market.
