HOUSEHOLD HINTS. 
Vinegar is seldom used on meat, and yet it 
might be very wisely, lor it his the property of 
softening and even diisolving the muscular fibre. 
Take, for instance, meat that is very tough, set 
in a deep dish, cover it with diluted vinegar, allow 
it to stand over night, and the next morning it 
•will be found as tender as possible. 
To Remove .Stains from marble mix well 
together equal quantities of lemon juice and oil of 
vitriol. AVet tlie stains with the mixture, and 
after a few minutes rub witj; a soft, dry cloth. 
Be careful not to let the vitriol come in contact 
with any article of your clothing, or it will burn. 
To Clean Stra'^v Hats wash them with soap 
and water, rinse in clean water, dry in the air, 
and Ihen wash them over with the white of an 
egg beaten to a froth. Another method is to rub 
the straw with cat leniou dipped in sulphur, and 
wash the juice carefully with water. Then 
stiffen with the white of egg. 
Salt and Vinegar make au excellent 
solution for cleansing bedroom water bottles or 
wine decanters. A dessert spoonful of rough salt 
put into a wine decantei. moistened with vinegar 
and well shaken, generally removes all stains.
