FOB THE HOUSEWIFE. Baked Custards. A few grains of rice put into tlio bottom of a di.sli iin which a custard is being baked 'will ensuro it being quite solid when cooked, for they will absorb any “whey” as it forms and so prevent the custard becoming- watery. Preventing Damage. Disfiguring scratches on polished doors can be largely avoided by gumming small circles or squares of felt or velvet to the bottoms of chairs and table legs. The same plan is useful in the case of flowerpots, vases or ornaments that stand on polished tables. A Good Polisher. For giving the final polish to furniture and silver there is nothing better than a wad of cotton wool. It brightens without scratching, and can be thrown away when it becomes soiled, tjius saving the washing of many dusters. Try Borax. Fruit stains on cotton fabrics, if attended to as soon as possible after they occur, can often be removed easily with powdered borax. Stretch the stained part over a cup of water and damp it. Scatter powdered borax thickly over and rub it in with the fingers with a circular movement, then run some water through.
