Hints For Household.

Scatter unslaked lime round the corners of the cellar; this will absorb any damp and dispel insects. A large clean marble boiled In milk, porridge, custards, sauces, will automatically do the stirring as the liquid bolls, and so prevent burning. You can clean white paint with warn water, using a little whiting on the washcloth and rinsing afterward with clear water. To prevent white fabrics, such as tulle or silk evening gowns, choice lace or crepe shawls, from becoming yellow when packed away, sprinkle bits of white wax freely among The folds. To remove the smell of fresh paint, ptt a pall of cold water in the room and change it every two or three hours.
