RmIrm That Have TeM by Mrfc A. K. rrkr. There are few articles that eater late such general use in the household as soap, and as every kitchen affords abundant material for making it, if the housekeeper will see that it is saved, many dollars' expense will be saved, every year. A large jar should be set in a convenient place in the kitchen er pantry, and all refuse grease, such as meat skins, bones, pot skimmings, burnt or rancid grease should be thrown in, and always kept carefully covered. When ready to use. unless the grease is all pure, it should be cleared, by putting in a kettle and adding a pint of water to every pound of grease, and boiling for one hour, stirring all the while, and skimming off the refuse matter, when it may be allowed to cool. The grease will form In a solid cake on the water,
and can be readily ?c moved. Many very exoelent modes of making soap are now in use; the eld-fash lened "soft soap" of our grandmother's day is even yet preferred by many housekeepers, but it is not possible to make it when wood ashes can not be had, and the process, at best, is very troublesome and laborious. It Is therefore best te use some of the exoelent preparatleaa that can be bought ready for use in soap making. For the benefit of inexperleneed housekeepers, we give the follewing recipe for making soap: Soft Soap: Put to bell any quantity of lye, made from wood ashes desired, have it strong enough to bear an egg. When boiling, add three-quarters of a pound of clean grease to every gallon of lye; boll at first rapidly, then Slowly, for two hours; when thick as jelljt take from the fire and let cool. Cold Soap: Dissolve one can of pulverized lye in three and one-half pints of eold water, and set aside to cool.
