Juicy fruit pijs placed in a shallow tin or dish of water will never boil over iu the oven. Before frying fioh wipe it with a damp cloth, next dust it thickly with dry Hour, and then dip into egg breadcrumbs. Dish-mops may bo kept odourless by having a solution of soda in a jar besido the sink, and placing tire mops in this when they are not in use. Corks boiled for five minutes before use, in the case of bottled fruit, etc., can ho easily pressed in, and then make perfectly air-tight stoppers. To remove tar marks, rub a little butter on the spot and allow it to stand till the tar is softened, when it will wash out with warm water and soap. Before putting on a pair of new kid gloves warm them by the fire. They will then be more supple, and it will bo easier to fit them on without risk of tearing them. Add borax or powdered soap to the washing water for plates, instead of soda. When washing glassware add a little ammonia; this makes the glass clear and easily polished.
