The Housekeeper

The cleaning of tbe kitchen rang* will be made much easier if all grease Is rubbed from it or the gas stove with a newspaper while still hot. When light oak trays have been badly marked, wash well wad rub with warm beer until the stains have disappeared. Polish in the usual way. When sweeping carpets always remember to sweep the way of the grain. To brush the wrong way is not only bad for tbe carpet, but it tends to brush dust in instead of out. Traces of mud may be removed from black materials by rubbing.with slices of raw potato. Stains in table linen may be easily removed by plunging the articles in pure boiling water. Soap and water would have the effect of fixing the stains.

Scalloped Macaroni and Beef. Take tke remnant# of any fnesh roasted meat and cut in thin slices. Lay them in a dish with a little plain boiled macaroni if you have it, and season thoroughly with pepper, salt and a little catchup > Fill a deap dish half full, add a very little finely chopped onion and a'layer of sliced tomatoes, having previously covered the meat with stock or grav>. Make a thick crust of mashed potato, and bake till this la brown la a not too hoi oven.
