SIMPLE METHOD OF CURING THS TROUBLESOME FELONB. Easy Way to Keep Silver Bright— Use No Boap on Hardwood Floors —Several Handy Hints for the Housewife? To cure a felon, take common salt, as used for salting pork or beef, dry in the oven, pound fine, mix with equal parts of spirits of turpentine, put in a cloth and wrap around the affected part. As it gets dry put on more. Twenty-four hours of this treatment will kill the felon. Soaking mildew stains in buttermilk or sour milk will many times remove them, but not always. Try a solution of one heaping teaspoonful of chloride of lime to a quart of soft water; strain, when well dissolved, and dip the mildewed spots in it until the stains disappear, then rinse immediately and thoroughly in clear water. Silver will keep bright, and much laborious cleaning and polishing saved, if once a week, it is immersed in sour milk and left there for 20 minuteß or, longer. Wash it in very hot water and polish as quickly as possible. Soft pieces of old flannelette are excellent to use in wiping and polishing silver. Do not use soap on your hardwood floor; instead add half cup of borax to a pail of hpt water, and rinse your mop well each time, and > see how nice and white the floor will look. When any article of food burns and sticks to the-saucepan or kettle while boiling, set the vessel at once into a pan of cold water, while you get another kettle ready, thus preventing a scorched table. You will Burely do this if the food is not too badly burned. 6 Try having a bed of Sweet Williams. Once started it will require little care, and will last for years, rewarding your trouble by a profusion of pretty flowers. And, by the way, there is nothing better than ammonia to remove bloodstains; soak the articles in water to which has been added a generous portion of the ammonia.—Mrs. J. C. 8., Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
