DONT'S FOR HOUSEWIFE.

Fireproof Dishes. —Don't take these out of the oven with a damp cloth. And, when new, try rubbing them all over with a raw onion. It does lengthen their lives enormously.

Heat of the Oven.—Don't guess the heat of your oven before baking cakes or pastry, but place a piece of white paper inside for a minute or two. If the paper turns a definite brown alm'ost at once the temperature is right. Grease on Soup.—Don't use blotting paper—it's old fashioned and a very messy job. Try soaking a piece of muslin in cold water and passing the hot soup quickly through it into a jug. Rather good, isn't it?

Cracked Egg.—Don't be extravagant and use a new-laid egg that is cracked for cooking. You can boil it quite successfully by wrapping it in a twist of tissue paper.

Clay Soil. —Don't bemoan it! Use it. Take equal quantities of the dust that has accumulated at the bottom of the coal cellar and clay.' Add sufficient water to make into little balls. This will keep any of the fires going for hours. Do try it. Paint on Glass.—Don't spend valuable time sponging spots of paint off windows. Rub them with the edge of a sixpence or . halfpenny. It's done in a moment.
