HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
"When baking apples, use honey instead of sugar. The taste is the same, but it goes right through the apples, and there are no sour parts when cooked.
Handkerchiefs will have just the right stiffness if they are laid out flat on a starched tablecloth, after they are washed. The cloth is folded over, and passed through the wringer. If the bars and top of a stove get a red tinge, they will not take the blacklead easily. Paint with a little lemon juico and allow to dry, then use the blacklead in the usual way, and a brilliant polish will result. To remedy a shoe-lace when the metal tag comes off, twirl that end of the shoe-lace to a- point, squeeze on to it a few drops of liquid glue, and again twirl it to a point between the finger and thumb; in a minute the end will harden, and can be laced as easily as if the tag was there.
