FOR A CINDER IN THE EYE. 



To remove a cinder or other foreign 

 suibstance, lay over the eye a cloth on 

 which has been spread the beaten 

 white of an egg, with a little sugar 

 and pulverized alum added. 



FOR MACHINE GREASE STAINS. 



Cold rain water and good soap will 

 usually remove these troublesome 

 stains. 



TO CLEAN JEWELRY. 



SUver or gold jewelry may Ibe satis- 

 factorily cleaned by adding a tea- 

 spoonful of ammonia to a cup of water 

 and applying with a rag. ^ 



USEFUL HINTS. 



A soft rag, moistened with lemon 

 juice and then dipped in silver whit- 

 ing will be found excellent for clean- 

 ing piano keys. 



A mixture of olive oil and ink in 

 equal parts is excellent for removing 

 the rusty appearance from swede 

 shoes or slippers. 



Keep small squares of coarse sand 

 paper near the kitchen sink. There 

 is nothing better for removing scorch 

 or food stuffs from po'ts or pans. 



A plain cloth dipped in hot water 

 and then in a saucer of bran, will 

 clean white paint and not injure it. 

 The bran acts like a soap on the 

 paint. 



Often a machine needle, which has 

 a turned or blunted point may be 

 made as good as ever by rubbing it 

 back and forth a few times on a 

 whetstone. 



In cleaning woollen clothes in win- 

 ter time, take them out of doors, 

 throw dry snow over them and then 

 brush it off. This not only removes 

 dust but lint. 



If a strong brine of salt and water 

 is thrown over the coals, less soot 

 will collect in the flues and chimneys. 

 The fire, too, will bum clear and 

 bright. 



To remove hot water marks from 

 japanned trays use sweet oil. Rub 

 it in well till all marks disappear.
