A VIIAT WITH YOU KG HOUSEKEEPERS.

No. 0'E.

S'pose itVMonday motnlnp. S'poso the girl is washing, up to her neck in suds. Unless you bavo a sister or sister-in-law a visiting, you'll nine times out of nine and a hall bavo to wash your dishes youTself. And now I'll tell you how I wash dishes I'm a little given to wandering in my remarks, but one subject suggests another, and I'll just take 'era as they come.

Vou have five in family, say. Tako your diab-pan and till it with good, hot, soap-sudsy water—don't entertain tbat foolish prejudice against soap, as I have found many women—wise women do I'd admire to know how a person can get a sticky, greasj* dish clean without it? I mean with neatness and dispatch Besides, soap gives a bright metallic ring to dis'ies, so they clatter when moved about with a clear, clean sound

Into this hot suds lay all your silver spoons and fork* and let 'em soak. Then pile your saucers up In the middle of vour pan around these lay yonr cups— ilovetaied in an "endless chain," and your pan is comfortably full.

Now fetch your dish rag, (which though it may bo worn should never hare loner dangling ends ready to flop about and splatter you with dish-water —thit's what I call slouehv.) and leav ing your dishes to soak, take up your tumblers or goblets, or whatever you call 'em, and dip one in the hot suds as

far as it will go, mopping very wet, sudsy dish rag stand a deal hotter water than most

Well, mop 'em about thoroughly and then dip 'em into a bucket of water beside you—hot, also, and wipe with dean, dry towel until every mist is cleared away, and they stand, if you've done yonr duty, resplendent, with daz zling surfaces. Never let them bland to drip a motnonf.

We'll suppose the tumblers finished Jerk up the eups and mop 'em about, dip 'eiu in the rinse-water, bucket, and then set 'em bottom eide up in the long est bread pan to drip. Do this also unto every saucer, propping them on their sides against tho cups. Then tako out the nllver, wipe dry as lone, and lay upon the break last' table.

Now pour out some of the water from thedishpan, add fresh hot water, and lay your plates in a nllo as you did the saucers. Let 'em soak.

Wipe your cup and saucers and pile 'em on the breakfast table. Take out your plates, wash 'em, lay 'em lean Ing-wise upon tho rim of the bread pan, pour rinso water over 'em, and let 'em drip.

Take vonr vegetable, fruit and meat dishes and lay 'em In tho dish-pan. Wipe plates with a fresh towel, pile 'cm on the breakfast table.

SospyAur rag and wash tho few re mainfng dishes. Now if ye don't put clean dishes In the cupboard this time as would do yer heart good to oat off 'am, why ve'ro regular lazy. \V ilng out your towel* (ye ought to have two alius—big or little washingonc'l! do for thr plates, then take a fresh 'un)and rag, empty yer rinse water from the bread pan into the big dish-pan. Kmpty tho dish-pan (away out by the fenco if you haven't a sink—never in a pump trough) and bring It back pour about a quarter or two of soft warm water, soap towels, wash out and lay 'cm wut to bleach. "Hub around the dish-pan with your rag until all grease has lelt the rides, ana-

There, I bet you a dollar you were going to ring out that rag ami hang it up full of grease and tilth. No, you don't just give It a good soapy wash in the same water, empty water, wipe both pane as dry as you can, shake out the poor much-abused rag, and lay it and the two pans in the sunniest place in the yard.

Home people like muslin num. I dont they're to slippery—haven't enough tooth to thorn. Worn out eraah towels (tea-towels) are ihe best, cut up about a toot in length.

Tea-towels are beat and handleet one yard long, and, if you love me, alius have two in use at one time. pen't use your rag tor opening stove doora, especially ooal stor* door*, or taking things out of the oven bat let it rest Irom its manifold labor* In the sunshine—it's not dean enough for one and too clean for tother.

A nice lifter, or rather pair of 11 iters is made from nla worn out, well-washed cioth-coat or pants. Make two squares, (sewing two pieces together on the edge, and have one for eaehhand. It Is much handier tor lifting long pana. Keep It on a shelf near by or on a bo* behind the stove.

Now, if your milk don't happen to be sweet (and it isn't likely to be long these daj*s) you can use sour, substituting one tablespoonful of soda instead or the baking powder.

My sister Polly camo runuing to me with a discovery. "Oh, Nancy, just look bore I went out into the woodahed and found an old rusty tin oup to put my charcoal in for iny teeth. And then I came in and washed it good, and tilled it with jowdered charcoal, and I was sitting on the edge of the bed, unconsciously rubbing the cup with a dirty charcoaly rag, when, happening to look down, saw this!*' aud she hold a tin cup, blazing like silvor, up

before

eyes. I had never heard of this way of brightening tins and may be to some of you it will be as new. 1 just love blazing "tins, and this charcoal baptism makes 'em more like silver than tin.

There's lots of poor girls gone aud married and are at housekeeping and to whom little hints and practical directions are as so much g^'d. To these I write, and, poor dears, if ever ye want to ask questions don't be afraid to up and ask anything, however simple, and you 11 soon hear from

TOTAKETHK SQUKAK OCT OK SLFOFS. —Wot the soles thoroughly and then let them ilry vory slowly. The squeak is caused by being dried too quickly.

Hun KESTORATIVR.—A tea, made by pouring onep'nt of boiling water on two tablespoonfnIs of dried rosemary leaves, with a wineglassful of rum added, is excellent.

To SOITKN TIII: HANDS.—Before retiring, tako a large pair of old gloves and spread mutton tallow inside, also all over the hands. Wear the gloves all night, and wash the hands with olive oil and white castile soap the next morning. •CUKE

irag. Glasses can

folks imagine (I don't mean scalding,) and so most folks go on through life with streaky, greasy-edged tumblers that stand up#n the table a living reproach against their owner's ignorant fear of not water—as different from what they should bo as Indian summer is from a clear, bright day In spring.

To REMOVE WHITE" STAINS I HOM FRUNITURE.—Have ready three pieces ot woolen cloth, with one well dipped in lamp oil, (or if that is not convenient linseed oil,) rub the spot briskly, wot the second with alcohol and apply to oily surface, rubbing quickly, as too much alcohol will destroy the varnish, and linallv polisii with the third cloth, moistened yvithoil or furniture polish.

To IIEMOVK STAINS of INK, Knurr, WJNK, MILDEW, ETC.—First wash tho stain off as much as possible with clear cold water, then apply the escalonnia, which cousists of one tablespoonful lemon juicj, one tablespoonful pure cream tartar, one tablespoonful of oxalic acid, one half pint rain water. Wipe off with Clear water. For any articlo that can not bo washed after using the mixture, a tablespoonful of tho juico of white currants is better than lemon jufce when procurable. This may bo used with safety upon'most delicate fabrics, aa it will not injure the color or material. 8baKo up when using it.

SICK CANAIUKS.—Leave off seed entirely. Make a paste of sweet milk and broad crumbs, throwing tho crumbs into the milk while boiling, and stir until quite smooth add a pinch of cayenne jepner, varied occasionally by some linely-minced clove or garlic dissolve in the drinking water a little black enrrant jelly, a bit of fig, or half a potash loienge. It may take a long time to cure the bird, and if tho trouble arises from the hardness of the tongue it must be painted daily with strong borax water. If ho sneezes, a little olive oil must he gently pot up the- nostrils. He should have plenty of tepid water to bathe in, celery, sweep apple or lettuce. But by no means hang close the window the oold is too severe, even in a moderately warm room, for a bird in delicate health. Paste must be fresh dally.

BROILKD BKKFSTKAK.—1The art of wking steak depends on a good clear tire, and turning very often the moment it is seared on one side, turn it and sear the other, to prevent the esoapo of the juice. The first thing neces aary will be skill In the management of the fire. You must have a good bright fire, topped with charcoal If you oannot get that, Me coke an Intense beat, without smoke, is absolutely necessary to oook a steak to perfection.

ANTI-CROUP CONTRIVANCE.—To mothers whose children have tho croup: First get a piece of chamois skin, make it like a little bib, cut out the neck and sow on tapes to tie it on, then melt together some tallow and pine tar rub some ot this in the chamois and let tho child wear it all the time.

FoitSMOOTH HANDS.—After washinac and drying tho hands pour into one hand a few drops of good cider vinegar rub the hands together, wetting the wholo surface both sides, and dry it. Practice this and your hands will fool smooth and pliant. Some do not like it but it is far better than glyeerine or other unguent.
