An excellent cure for hoarseness is ;o roast a lemon until it is soft all through ; do not allow it to burst. While still hot cut a piece from the jnd and fill the lemon with as much granulated sugar as it will hold. Then >at it while hot. It is sometimes convenient to rememaer the following items of cooks' measjrement: One pint of liquid equals one pound. Two gills of liquid make one cupful. Four teaspoonfuls make one table- 1 ipoouful. Four round tableepoonfuls of flour ivill weigh an ounce. Half a pouud of butter will make one jup. Four cups of flour make one pound. Two cups of granulated sugar make >ne pound, but in powdered sugar it 8 will take two and a half cups to make ^ jne pound. A little saltpetre added to the water s n which cut flowers are put will Keep r he flowers fresh a long time. . To extract the juice from an onion, ;ut the onion in half and press it igainst and move it slowly over a gra,er. The juice will run off the point )f the grater. To ascertain if an egg is fresh, put it = n a pail of water. If good it will sink mmediately ; if it floats it is doubtful. Prick a nutmeg witb a pin, and if it ;9 fresh and good, oil will immediately spread around the punture. Fresh meat should not be allowed to remain rolled In paper, for the paper svill absorb the juices. Remove the paper and lay the meat on the eathenware. / Silver spoons that have become dis- * colored by eggs may be cleaned readily by rubbing with a soft cloth and a little dry salt. Silks or ribbons that are to be packed 8 away should be rolled in brown paper, 19 the chloride of lime in white paper will discolor them. White satin should 4 be folded in blue paper and a brown paper put outside and pinned closely t together at the edges. An excellent hair wash is made of *. il. one cencs worm ui puwueicu uuiqa and half a pint of pood olive oil; pour over them one pint of boiling water; let the mixture cool, and pour it into a bottle and shake before using. The oil nourishes and the borax cleanses the hair. A simple disinfectant to use in a sick room is made by putting some ground coffee in a saucer and in the centre a small piece of camphor gum. Light the gum with a match. As the gum bufns allow the coffee to burn with it. The perfume is refreshing and healthful as well as inexpensive. If brooms are diped in a pail of hot * suds for a minute or two once a week J J it will make them tough and pliable, and they will last much longer. Paint upon' window glass may be easily removed by rubbing with a wet cloth in hot strong vinegar. A piece of horseradish root put into a jar of pickles wjll keep the vinegar from losing its strength, and the pickles will not be as liable to become soft or mouldy. This is especially good for tomatoe pickles. If an article that has become usty is soaked in kerosene oil for some time, the rust will become loosened and come (ff very readily. A little kerosene is an excellent thing for cleaning a zinc bath tub.
