TO CLEAN ALUMINIUM.

e Aluminium is so much used now. owing to its lightness, cleanliness, mid its attractive nppenranee, that perhaps a. word or two as to its preservation and cleaning may be of service to some of my poling housewives. As soon as any utensil is done with, either saucepan, kettle or teapot, wash it out at once, ft i.s sometimes necessary to make a warm lather, and pour this into the saucepan or frying pan, and with a •soft cloth wash out the inside; rinse, and dry at once. The kettle should ho turned upside down when not- reoyrired for some hours, so that all the moisture drains out through the spout. Teapots should never stand with tea in them after the meal, hut he emptied, rinsed, and wiped dry with a ■ clean cloth, then turned upside clown for the spout to drain dry. Soda should not he used on any account. To polish the outside wash with warm soaps water ; dr\. and dust a little fine whiting on a soft cloth and rub the surface with il, using a leather afterwards as a finish. Metal polish, invaluable for brasses, i ; not suitable for aluminium.
