COOKING ODOURS.

HOW TO DISPERSE THEM. Any odour of cooking, however Insistent,, can bo 'effectively dispersed by scattering on the range a pinch or so of cedarwood dust, which can be obtained from herbalists. The taste and smell of fish which clings so obstinately to forks, no matter how thoroughly they may be washed, can be got rid of toy rubbing them with a mg dipped In mustard. The housewife who, after handling and cooking fish, finds the odour adhering to her hands, can get over this trouble very quickly by washing Her hands In warm water to which a little mustard has been added.
