M \ny  housekeepers  rub  their  furniture 
with  :i  mg  dampened  with  kerosene.  This 
removes  dust,  but  wo  have  never  con¬ 
sidered  the  plan  desirable,  and  it  is  really 
harmful  to  some  classes  of  furniture. 
Where  the  wood  is  painted  or  enamelled, 
like  so  much  of  the  so-called  cottage 
furniture,  persistent  use  of  kerosene  docs 
undoubtedly  crack  the  enamel  in  time, 
and  such  furniture  is  better  cleaned  with 
a  cloth  dampened,  not  wet,  with  tepid 
water,  and  rubbed  with  a  dry  cloth  after¬ 
wards.  Nor  must  kerosene  be  used  on 
wax-polished  furniture,  for  in  time  it: 
causes  enough  dust  to  adhere  to  injure, 
the  polish.  Careful  rubbing  with  a  wool¬ 
en  cloth  and  wax  polish  will  keep  such 
furniture  in  order.  Whatc-vcr  oil  or  pol- 
-Lii  is  used  on  furniture  ifShould  always 
be  rubbed  off  so  carefully  that  none  re¬ 
mains  to  hold  dust  and  thus  gradually 
form  a  film  over  the  polish.

Mending  Aga'.eware 
I  noticed  recent  inquiry  liow  to  mend 
Laky  agateware.  I  use  the  articles 
called  “meudets"  with  very  good  success. 
.V  meudet  consists  of  a  small  nut  and 
screw  with  washers,  which  instantly  stops 
till  leaks  iu  graniteware  and  rubber 
goods.  The  beauty  of  mendets  is  that 
they  arc  so  easy  and  simple  to  use.  A 
wrench  conics  with  each  package  and  all 
that  one  has  to  do  is  to  place  the  screw 
through  the  hole  in  the  kettle  and  then 
tighten  the  nut  on  the  outside  with  the 
wrench.  Since  I  have  us©d  “meudets”  I 
have  been  able  to  use  much  agateware 
that  otherwise  would  have  been  worth-  j 
less.  In  fact,  I  could  not  get  along  with-  I 
out  them  now  anil  several  of  my  neigh-  1 
hors  say  they  would  not  be  without  them  { 
again.  A  package  of  15  assorted  sizes  j 
with  wrench  and  full  directions  costs  25 
cents.  m  its.  E.  11.  o. 
On  page  1440  a  reader  asks  how  to 
mend  agateware.  Il  is  not  generally 
known,  but  agateware  is  just  as  easily 
mended  as  tinware.  Simply  take  an  old 
butcher’s  knife  and  ream  out  hole  until  i 
it  is  perfectly  bright  all  around;  theu  I 
flush  hole  with  soldering  acid.  Place  ■ 
several  thicknesses  of  paper  under  hole, 
this  is  a  keep  solder  from  running

One  of  our  friends  tells  us  that  pork 
sausages  are  much  niiltir  if  parboiled  be¬ 
fore  frying.  Tile  night  before  using  drop 
the  sausages  into  boiling  water  and  cook 
eight  minutes;  take  out  and  drain.  Fry 
as  usual,  putting  them  into  a  Imt  pan. 
The  boiling  removes  part  of  the  grease, 
and  the  sausages  can  lie  thoroughly  cook¬ 
ed  without  over-frying.  The  water  in 
which  they  were  boiled  should  lie  set 
aside  until  cold,  so  that  the  fat  may  be 
removed  in  a  solid  cake.  Browned 
mashed  potatoes  arc  nice  to  serve  with 
sausage.  The  potato  is  mashed  and  sea¬ 
soned,  and  then  packed  into  a  well-but¬ 
tered  flat  square  pan.  When  cold  cut 
into  square  cakes,  brush  over  with  beat- 
:ind  put  in  the  oven  until  hot 
and  brown.  Mashed  potato  left  from 
dinner  may  ho  used  as  a  supper  dish'  in 
this  way.

The  Health  Department  of  this  city 
states  that  infant  mortality  is  greater 
here  among  the  children  of  native  parents 
than  among  foreigners.  Out  of  every 
1,000  children  horn  in  New  York  City 
of  native  parents  44  boys  and  35  girls 
do  not  roach  their  fifth  year,  while  in 
the  same  proportion  39  hoys  and  32  girls 
who  are  the  children  of  foreigners  die  in 
early  childhood.  The  reasons  for  this, 
iiecordlng  to  the  health  officials,  are  that 
the  foreign  mother  is  more  apt.  to  stay 
home  and  look  after  the  child,  white  the 
health  officers  come  more  in  personal  con-  ored  at  the  end,  with  scalloped  edge,  were
