HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES

Among the chair seats which come ready to adjust are those of leather, leatherette, wood or cane. Each has some points decidedly in its favor and none is difficult to fasten into place. Custard bowls is the name given to the pretty low blue and white bowls, which are quite as nice for bread and milk, or berries and cereal, as for custard. To remove iron rust from white material wet the goods with lemon juice, rub on salt and put out in the sun. If the first application fails, try it again. If salt fish is required for immediate use it will freshen much more quickly if soaked in milk Instead of in water. Sour milk will answer as well as sweet. Mix stove polish with equal parts of household ammonia and turpentine and apply to the coal stove; rub it with a soft woolen cloth. A porcelain sink can be quickly cleaned with paraffin. Dip a flannel lightly into the paraffin and rub the sink till all stains are removed, then thoroughly wash it with soda water.
