Removing Ink Stains.
It Is a very easy mntter to rentov*
tuk spots from white material. but
many heroine discouraged because
the first application of some reliable
ink remover fei s to bring good results.
The finest material, socli at
ntousseline, cambric and longclotb.
hold stain* much longer than u cheaper
fabric, for which reasou it is necessary
to apply stronger solutions.
Pure household ammonia will remove
ink from a handkerchief, table cover
or any white article which does not
contain silk or a color. Put tliu article
in an earthen wash bowl, pour
ammonia over the ink iu:d leave it
for 15 or HO minutes; take it out of
the bowl, wring out the amnion a.
wipe the bowl and renew the process;
then wash with lukewarm water.
Peroxide of hydrogen, applied alternately
with ammonia and dried in
me Klin, will remove very bad blemishes.
l emon iuice can be applied to
white silk. and should it be a silk
with a bine mark, the lemon v i 1 rot
injure the rotor, but it wou'd fs !e
praetioally an> other color than blue.
A very thin white Paris muslin dress
was splashed with the entire eontents
of an Ink hotile, hut the ?> r
immediately put the dress Into a
crock of sour buttermilk and let it
soak over night. While the blemishes
were not entirely obliterated, and
it was nerrssnry to soak the drees in
fresh buttermilk for several bonis
more, it finally cninj* out purr nnit
white and thr entire dress bleached
hv the process. Irk marks on velv? t
nrpet ran h? removed with warm
skimmed in'lk. Scrub the carpet the
san.e as with water and. when dry,
wash the smit with hi nr.ine to remove
tlie greasy appearnn-e. S.?It
will absorb irk from a table cuvir
and prevent It from spreading, but It
is not a reliable agent for the removal
of had stains. Pure < Ider vinegar,
oralic arid, cream of tartar, a weak
solution of muriatic arid or jave'.le
water can he depended upon to remove
aU Mack ink stairs. Ammonia
will weaken red ink stains, which
should afterwards lie treated wi'h
borax and then washed in a boil
suds. When these powerful ink eradlcators'
are used, it is absolutely
necessary to thoroughly rinse .lie articles
in several waters.
Making Coffee.
The secret of pood coffee is an Immaculately
clean coffee p?t. ftesb
boiling water and good material. It
is better to pay a little more for your
coffee and use less in quantity than
would be necessary in the cheaper
grades. The coffee pot should be
thoroughly washed ?nd scalded after
every meal and coffee never allowed
to stand In it. If it gets discolored,
put a little baking soda in it once &
week or so, fill with cold water at.d
let it come to the boiling point. Take
care that the spout and strainer aie
perfectly cleaned. Rinse and dry

The one reason why some your?:
women do not learn to do their own
looking is because they consider 't
beneath the dignity of a lady to do
so. It is a verv foolish thought and.
even if it were true, it would be ver*
uncomplimentary to real Indies nn?
prefer the management of their own
culinary apartments. We know that
most woman of great means employ
cooks, because their social posit lot
demands a great'deal of their time,
but it is a well known fact that many
women in the wealthiest families
make their own rakes, sauces, pud*
dings and the fancy dishes which
grace the tables at their most elaborate
buffet funetions. There is nothing
degrading in the work; In fart,

to do her own kit'hen work, but tt
is ndvlsah'e that she should ken*
