HELPFUL HINTS.

A nice little arrangement to use for a birthday cake is the cover of a candy pail. Have holes bored around the board deep enough to hold a candle, stain it any desired color and rest the cake In the center with „the candles around it. Of course many more holes may be bored than needed, as the candles used need not fill each place. In this manner each member of a large family has the use of the candle hoard. It is safe, pretty and economical

To loosen glass stoppers, potir a little oil around the mouth of the bottle and let it stand an hour of two; if the stopper is not loosened then, set the bottle in a dish of warm water. When hot remove and gently tap the stopper on either side and it will come out easily. To wash chamois gloves: ’ These gloves are serviceable, and if kept clean are the most satisfactory of gloves. When washing them, put on the hands and wash as you would your hands, rubbing on soap and rinsing all of it off, then wipe as dry as possible on a towel and leave for a few moments on the hands to dry. Pin up in an open window or hang in the air to dry. Do not lay them on a radiator or register to dry. When you have the tdugh end of a steak, cut it into cubes and pour over water to cover. Add a small piece of carrot and onion and a potato or two and cook until tender. If the meat has not been previously cooked, brown it in a little hot suet. Keep a well-corked bottle of chloroform to use In removing spots from delicate fabrics. Rub briskly and there will he no ring to mark the spot. When a little onion juice is desired in any food, cut off a slice of unpeeled onion and press against the groove, working with a rotary motion. The juice will flow down the groove. s
