HINTS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.
An excellent mixture for ©leaning a porcelain bath is made by mixing fib soft soap and Jib of precipitated whiting with sufficient water to foxm a paste and then boiling it. This mixture can be used hot or cold and-should bo kept in a"* well-corked bottle. An jeasy method of lengthening children's petticoats is to open the shoulder sea mj face the edges and make a but-ton-hole in, .each end. Then make two straps the width of the piece over t&e shoulder and sew two buttons on each, These straps can then be buttoned in place.and will not only gyre greater length to the garment but will provide the larger armiole which is also necessary. If you have an obstinate grease spot on a carpet, mix a tablespoon of crude Puller's Earth with a similar quantity of lump magnesia and make it into a stiff paste with boiling water. Spread it, while still hot, over the grease spot and let it remain until perfectly diy; then sweep the carpet witti a stiff brush and the loosened grease will come away quite easily. •■'.-•
