HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS. One part of borax to two parts of honey or glycerine is an excellent remedy for a sore tliroat. Lemons should be saved for cleaning copper and brass, and for whitening the wood of kitchen tables. Coffee grounds should be mixed with damp earth and rolled into balls. V\ hen dry, use the balls for banking up the fire. After using a dish or floor mop. wash it out in hot soda water, rinse in boiling water, and hang up to dry. By doing this regularly the mop is kept quite clean. To remove nuts from shells, pour hot water over the nuts, letting them soak about ten minutes. Drain off the water, and let cool, and then crack the shells. If you want to use very little wood in lighting a fire, slope the sticks from the sides to the middle, propping them up at the sides with pieces of coal. Far fewer sticks are needed than if they are put on criss-cross. Bananas, when thev are skinned and cut up ready for salads and svv'ts, have an annoying way of turning black. Sprinkle the sliced bananas with lemon juice. This will not only keep the colour right, but improve the flavour. To remove stains from hands, pans, china, etc , cut up £lb. of soap, place in a large jar, cover with 1 quart of boiling water and add 4oz. of powdered pumice. Mix well. When cold it will be found to be a firm jelly, and should be applied with a piece of woollen rag. Rub until the stain vanishes. Mustard is not merely a condiment, it has a multitude of other uses. Severe toothache can always be eased, and often entirely banished bv rubbing a little moist mustard behind the ear. In certain cases of poisoning, a teaspoonful of mustard stirred in a glass of warm water is a safe and auick-acting emetic. If the taste or odour of fish clings to ones hands or to forks, a rub with dry mustard banishes the nastiness. Threatened colds and chills depart if the feet are given a hot-water-and-mustard bath. Those who get wet through should remember that. For bronchitis, or a bad chest cold, a mustard poultice is excellent. Mixed with the white of an egg, it will not blister the skin. Used ordinarily, mustard is not merely a condiment; it has valuable digestive qualities. Non-mustard eaters who suffer from indigestion should note the fact. If you are troubled with mice, and they nibble through whatever 'you may

use to block their holes, mix putty and mustard, and use that as a stopping. No more mice!

To cure unbroken chilblains, mix a teaspoonful of mustard with half a pint of turpentine. Leave for 24 hours, strain off, and rub the liquid on the chilblains, and they will depart. According to a medical authority persons suffering from a cold in the head should, in order to establish a clear passage in the nasal tubes, sleep on the side, not the back. A remedy for cold feet and hands is to make a practice of occasionally taking deep breaths, and then breathing out slowly. A noticeable improvement in the circulation will soon be effected. Powdering should be carried out with a patting, not a rubbing, movement when
