USEFUL HINTS.

AN ARTISTIC CLOTH. To make an artistic table cover for your porch or vestibule table, get come hesian the length and width of your table, dye it whatever colour you prefer. When, dry, press it out nicely; then edge it with cretonne. Curtains, also mats, can be made in the same way. A GOOD CARPET SOAP. Mix together one ounce of shredded • yellow soap, one pint of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of aqua ammonia, half an ounce of soda. Stir well, then scrub the soap into the soiled carpet with a small, stiff brush, and rinee in warm water. An old flannel is useful for this work. CARE OF GARDEN FURNITURE. Unpainted garden furniture should be preserved against winter rains by rubbing in a liberal amount of linseed oil; after about a week hae elapsed a second dressing should be applied. The same treatment also preserves and prevents unpainted wooden door steps from cracking and wearing unduly. PAINT CLEANING HINT. "When cleaning paint great difficulty is often experienced in removing duet from the cracks, ledges and frames of windows, bannisters, etc. An ordinary small enamel paint brush, which decorators call a "saeh tool," is excellent for this purpose. First wet the paint with **oapy water, apply soap to the brush, and work out the dirt with the bristles. Afterwards, rinse and dry in the usual way. Needless to say, only an old brush should be used for this purpose. TO GET RID OF COCKROACHES. Avoid having any rubbish standing about; keep food covered; keep all corners and crevices dry; never leave any crumbs in any part of the room. Blow, ineect powder into all the cracks from which the vermin come; brush up powder : and insects and burn; repeat the process] several times, then spread powdered borax about the cracks and crevices. A strong solution of carbolic acid — two tablespoonfuls to a pint of water may be used in the same manner aa the ineect powder.
