THE USEFUL CORK.
Do not throw, your corks away. There are many useful purposes which "they will serve in the home. Kitchen knives and any cutlery not made of stainless steel may be cleaned with a cork. Moisten the cork, rub on any good J household soap, apply to the blade, and" all stains will disappear. ' '"" Burnt marks on plates'can be treated successfully with a cork and a little damp salt. Rust spots on metal may be removed if they are rubbed with a,cork that has heeen dipped in praffin. A cork moistened with paraffin is also splendid for removing marks from hearth tiles. Spots on linoleum may be treated with a cork which is repeatedly dipped in benzine or petrol. Blemishes on windowpanes may be, removed with a dry cork. Of course, if the spots are actually in the glass they will not disappear, but many marks which, have defied ordinary cleaning will yield to rubbing .with a cork.
