dry; afterwards take a flannel rag, and rub with the following
mixture: equal proportions of vinegar, sweet-oil, and spirits of
turpentine, in a bottle which must be shaken before using.--_Mrs.
McG._
AN EXCELLENT FURNITURE POLISH.
Alcohol, three ounces; linseed oil, boiled, two ounces; oxalic acid,
one drachm; gum shellac, two drachms; gum benzoin, two drachms; rosin,
two drachms. Dissolve the gums in the alcohol, and then add oil and
oxalic acid. Apply with a woollen cloth.--_Dr. E. A. C._
_Furniture Polish._
One pint of alcohol, one pint of spirits of turpentine, one and
one-half pint of raw linseed oil, one ounce balsam fir, one ounce
ether. Cut the balsam with the alcohol, which will take about twelve
hours. [That is to say, dilute the balsam with the alcohol.] Mix the
oil with the turpentine in a separate vessel and add the alcohol, and
last the ether.--_G. C. W._
TO CLEAN SILVER.
There is nothing better for this purpose than Colgate's Silver Soap,
and Robinson's Indexical Silver Soap, made in Boston. After the silver
has been cleaned, according to the directions accompanying each
package of the aforementioned kinds of soap, wash it in a pan of hot
water in which a tablespoonful of ammonia has been poured.--_Mrs. S.
T._
_To Clean Silver._
Make a paste of whiting and spirits of wine. Put it on with a soft
cloth, then rub it off also with a soft cloth, and polish with chamois
skin.--_Mrs. R._
TO REMOVE EGG STAINS FROM SILVER SPOONS.
Rub with salt, and it will entirely remove the discoloration produced
by eating a boiled egg with a silver spoon. Rubbing with salt will
also remove the grayish streaks that collect on white tea-china by
careless usage.--_Mrs. M. C. C._
TO CLEAN BRASSES, ETC.
Electro-silicon, manufactured by J. Seth Hopkins & Co., Baltimore, is
the best article that can be procured for this purpose. The price is
twenty-five cents per box, with full directions for use. It may be
procured of any druggist. If not convenient to get it, use powdered
brick-dust.--_Mrs. S. T._
FOR THE KITCHEN.
Sapolio, manufactured by Enoch Morgan & Sons, should be in every
kitchen. It is invaluable for cleaning tins, iron-ware, knobs, and is
so neat a preparation that it does not blacken the hands.
THE DOVER EGG-BEATER.
Is indispensable to housekeepers. It froths eggs in less than a fourth
of the time a spoon or an ordinary egg-beater requires to froth
them.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO REMOVE RUST FROM KNIVES OR ANY STEEL.
Rub very hard with a piece of wash leather, dipped in powdered
charcoal, moistened with spirits of wine. Rub off quickly, wash in hot
water, and renew as may be necessary.--_Mrs. K._
TO CLEAN KNIVES, TINS, ETC.
Crystal Kitchen Soap, manufactured by Eastman & Brooke, Philadelphia,
is excellent for this purpose, being so neat a compound that the
knives and coffee-pot, as well as the tins used in the preparation of
breakfast, may be quickly cleaned at the table while the tea-china is
being washed.
When not convenient to obtain the Crystal Kitchen Soap, knives may be
cleaned with ashes either of coal or wood.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO WHITEN THE IVORY ON THE HANDLES OF KNIVES.
The ivory handles of knives sometimes become yellow from being allowed
to remain in dish-water. Rub them with sandpaper till white. If the
blades have become rusty from careless usage, rub them also with
sandpaper and they will look as nice as new.--_Mrs. S. T._
MIXTURE FOR SHADING GLASS.
Spanish whiting, one pound; white glue, one-quarter pound; litharge,
one ounce; alum, one ounce. Boil the glue and alum in a sufficient
quantity of water. Let it cool, then add the whiting and litharge.
Stir well and use at once. It may be washed or scraped off, if
desired.--_Dr. E. A. C._
CEMENT FOR RUBBER AND GLASS.
Pulverized gum shellac in ten times its weight of strong spirits
hartshorn.--_Dr. E. A. C._
TO DESTROY BEDBUGS.
Dissolve one ounce corrosive sublimate in one pint strong spirits. Put
it on the bedsteads with a feather, and it will destroy the bugs and
their eggs also.--_Mrs. Dr. P. C._
BEDBUG POISON.
Alcohol, two and a half pints; camphor, one ounce; spirits turpentine,
one ounce; corrosive sublimate, half an ounce. Mix and dissolve. If
the scent is not objectionable, two ounces commercial carbolic acid
will greatly improve the above.--_Dr. E. A. C._
TO DESTROY BUGS, ANTS, ETC.
Dissolve two pounds alum in three quarts boiling water. Apply boiling
hot with a brush. Add alum to whitewash for store-rooms, pantries, and
closets. It is well to pound alum fine and sprinkle it about beds
infested with bugs.--_Mrs. S. T._
REMEDY FOR RED ANTS.
Kerosene oil is a sure remedy for red ants. Place small blocks under a
sugar barrel, so as not to let the oil touch the barrel.--_Mrs. J. W._
Cayenne pepper will keep the store-room and pantry free from ants and
cockroaches.--_Mrs. S. D._
REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES OR OTHER BLOOD-SUCKING INSECTS.
Uncork a bottle of oil of pennyroyal, and it will drive them away, nor
will they return so long as the scent of it is in the room.--_Mrs. S.
D._
For the stings of insects, wasps, hornets, bees, etc. Apply to the
place soda, hartshorn, or arnica.
RATS.
Mix a little powdered potash with meal and throw it into the rat-holes
and it will not fail to drive the rats away. If a mouse enters into
any part of your dwelling, saturate a rag with cayenne in solution and
stuff it into his hole.--_Mrs. S. D._
CONCENTRATED LYE SOAP.
All fat and grease from the kitchen should be carefully saved, and
should be made into soap before accumulating and becoming offensive.
Boil for six hours ten gallons of lye made of green wood ashes. Then
add eight or ten pounds of grease, and continue to boil it. If thick
or ropy, add more lye till the grease is absorbed. This is ascertained
by dropping a spoonful in a glass of water, and if grease remains it
will show on the water.
If hard soap is desired, put one quart of salt in half-gallon of hot
water. Stir till dissolved and pour into the boiling soap. Boil twenty
minutes, stirring continually. Remove from the fire, and when cold cut
in cakes and dry. A box of concentrated lye may be used instead of
salt, as it will obviate the necessity of using more dripped lye to
consume the grease.--_Mrs. P. W._
A WASHING MIXTURE.
Mix and boil twenty minutes one gallon soft soap; half a gallon of
weak boiled lye; four ounces sal soda; half a gill of spirits
turpentine. Soak the clothes overnight in milk-warm water. In the
morning, rinse and wring them. To every gallon cold water add one
pint of the above mixture. Stir it well in the water. Open the clothes
and boil fifteen or twenty minutes; rinse out of those suds. If the
articles are not thoroughly cleansed, rub a little of the mixture on
the soiled places, and the result will be satisfactory.--_Mrs. Dr. E._
RECIPES FOR RESTORING OLD CLOTHES, SETTING COLORS, REMOVING STAINS,
ETC.
FOR CLEANING CLOTHES.
Castile soap, one ounce; aqua ammonia (34), a quarter-pound; sulphur
ether, one ounce; glycerine, one ounce; spirits wine, one ounce. Shave
the soap into thin pieces, dissolve it in two quarts rain (or any
other soft water). Then add the other ingredients. Rub the soiled
spots with a sponge or piece of flannel and expose to the air.--_Mrs.
B._
SOAP TO REMOVE GREASE FROM CLOTH.
Detersive soap, three pounds; alcohol, two pints; oxalic acid, half an
ounce; essential oil to flavor. First bring the alcohol to a boil,
then gradually add the soap (pared in thin shavings) and stir
constantly. Then add the acid and oil, pour into moulds while hot, and
let it cool. You may, of course, make it in smaller quantities,
observing the same relative proportions.--_Dr. E. A. C._
_To Remove Spots from Cloth._
Aqua ammonia, two ounces; alcohol, two ounces; spirits camphor, one
ounce; transparent soap, one ounce; rain-water, one quart.--_Mr. E.
C., Jr._
TO WASH BLACK CASHMERE.
Wash in hot suds, with a little borax in the water. Rinse in bluing
water, and iron very damp.
TO RESTORE THE PILE OF VELVET.
Heat a large flat-iron, place it in a pan, and lay on it a wet cloth.
The steam will rise rapidly. Hold the right side of the velvet over
it. If this does not restore the pile, wet it on the wrong side. Have
a smooth flat-iron very hot. Set it on the edge of the table, upright.
If it is a narrow piece of velvet, it may be easily ironed by passing
the wet side against the iron. If a large piece, have some one to hold
the bottom of the iron upwards while the wet side of the velvet is
passed over it.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO RESTORE OLD BLACK SILK.
Pour one pint boiling water on two tablespoonfuls gum arabic. When a
little cooled, add one teaspoonful spirits turpentine and the same of
spirits ammonia. With a large sponge wipe the silk on both sides with
this mixture. Then lay the silk on an ironing-table, place over it a
thin piece of colored rice cambric, and iron it very hard with a hot
iron. This makes old silk look like new.--_Mrs. S. T._
TO FRESHEN OLD BLACK SILK.
Boil one ounce crushed soap bark in one quart water till reduced to
one pint. Strain it; sponge the material with the liquid, and while
wet iron on the wrong side. Good for black woollens also.--_Mrs. M. E.
L. W._
TO RENEW BLACK CRAPE VEILS.
Wring two large towels out of water. Then put the veil (folded across
the middle, lengthways) on the lower towel; spread the other on top
and roll the veil, when between, in a small tight roll. Let it stand
an hour, or till it is damp through. Take it out and air it a little
before it dries. Fold it then in smooth squares, put it in a large
book, such as an atlas, put heavy weights on it, and let it stand an
hour or two.--_Mrs. M. C. C._
TO SET COLORS.
Wash in strong salt or alum water and rinse in water in which Irish
potatoes have been sliced and boiled, to stiffen.
A strong tea of hay or fodder preserves the color of brown linen. One
spoonful gall to a gallon of water will set the colors of almost any
goods. A teaspoonful sugar of lead in a gallon cold water (some say a
tablespoonful in a quart soft water) will set colors. Let the material
soak in it an hour.
A teacup of lye in a pail of water will improve black calicoes.
TO RESTORE COLORS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT.
Rub the spots with hartshorn and place in the sun till dry.
TO KEEP BLUE CALICOES BRIGHT AND FRESH.
The first time they are washed, put them in water with a cupful
spirits of turpentine to each pail of water. This will set the color,
and they will always look well.
MILDEW.
Moisten the mildewed spot with clear water, then rub over it a thick
coating of castile soap. Scrape chalk with the soap, mixing and
rubbing with the end of the finger. Then wash it off. Sometimes one
coating suffices, but generally several are required.
LABARAQUE SOLUTION.
Will remove mildew, ink, or almost any fruit stain from cloth. The
solution should be washed off soon after applying, as it may injure
the cloth.--_Dr. E. A. C._
TO PREVENT FRUIT STAINS FROM BEING PERMANENT.
Wet the stained spot with whiskey before sending it to wash, and there
will be no sign of it when the article comes in.
FOR REMOVING FRUIT OR INK STAINS.
Two drachms chloride of lime, two drachms acetic acid, one and a half
ounce water. Mix well.--_Dr. E. A. C._
IRON RUST.
Salts of lemon applied to the place and exposed to the sun will remove
all iron rust in linen, etc.
MISCELLANEOUS RECIPES.
AMMONIA.
No housekeeper should be without a bottle of spirits of ammonia, for,
besides its medical value, it is highly useful for household purposes.
It is nearly as useful as soap, and its cheapness brings it in the
reach of all. Put a teaspoonful ammonia in a quart of warm soapsuds,
dip in a flannel cloth, wipe off the dust and fly-specks, and see how
much scrubbing it will save you.
For washing windows and mirrors, it is very desirable. A few drops on
a piece of paper will take off every spot or fingermark on the glass.
It cleanses and brightens silver wonderfully. Dip your forks, spoons,
etc., in a pint of suds, mixed with a teaspoonful spirits ammonia.
Then rub with a brush and polish with chamois skin.
It will take grease spots from every fabric. Put on the ammonia nearly
clear. Lay blotting-paper on the place, and press a hot flat-iron on
it a few moments. A few drops of it will clean and whiten laces, also
muslins.
It is highly useful and refreshing at the toilet-table. A few drops in
the bath will remove all offensive perspiration and glossiness (if the
skin is oily). Nothing is better for cleansing the hair from dust and
dandruff. A teaspoonful in a pint of water will cleanse the dirtiest
brushes. Shake the brushes through the water, and when they look
white, rinse them in water and put them in the sunshine or a warm
place to dry.
For medicinal purposes ammonia is almost unrivalled. Inhaling it will
often cure headache and catarrhal cold. Ten drops aromatic spirits of
ammonia in a wine-glass of water is excellent for heartburn or
dyspepsia. The ordinary spirits of ammonia may be used also for the
purpose, but it is not so palatable.
Ammonia is also good for vegetation. If you desire roses, fuschias,
geraniums, etc., to become more flourishing, add five or six drops
ammonia to every pint of lukewarm water you give them. Do not repeat
this more than once in five or six days, lest you should stimulate
them too highly.
Be sure to keep a large bottle of ammonia in the house, and use a
glass stopper for it, as it is very evanescent and is injurious to
corks.
[The above remarks on the usefulness of ammonia were furnished and
endorsed by Mrs. A. D., of Virginia.]
BORAX.
It is very desirable to keep borax in the house. Its effect is to
soften the hardest water, and it is excellent for cleansing the hair.
Some washerwomen use borax for a washing powder, instead of soda, in
the proportion of a handful of borax powder to ten gallons boiling
water, and they save in soap nearly half, whilst the borax, being a
neutral salt, does not injure the texture of the linen.--_Mrs. S. T._
RED INK.
Bicarb. potash, half an ounce; cochineal, half an ounce; bitart.
potash, half an ounce; powdered alum, half an ounce; pure rain-water,
four ounces. Mix, and add ten drops creosote.--_Dr. E. A. C._
BLACK INK.
Extract logwood (pulv.), two ounces; hot rain-water, one gallon.
Simmer over water-bath one hour, till logwood is dissolved. Put into a
bottle the following: bichromate potass., one hundred grains; prus.
of potass., forty grains; warm rain-water, four ounces. Shake till
dissolved, put into the logwood solution, stir well together, strain
through flannel, and, when cold, add corrosive sublimate, ten grains;
warm rain-water, one ounce. Dissolve thoroughly, put with the above,
and add pure carbolic acid crys., one drachm. This makes the best
black ink in the world, at a cost of about ten cents a gallon.--_Dr.
E. A. C._
COMMON BOTTLE WAX.

ounce; oil of vitriol, by weight, two drachms; vinegar, one pint. Mix
the black, molasses, and oil, and add the vinegar gradually, stirring
all the time. Then add the oil of vitriol very carefully, stirring
constantly, till effervescence ceases.--_Dr. E. A. C._
LIQUID BLACKING.
Ivory black, in fine powder, one pound; molasses, twelve ounces;
sweet-oil, two ounces; beer and vinegar, two pints of each. Mix
thoroughly together.--_Dr. E. A. C._

and one-half ounces; tartaric acid, one and one-third ounces;
carbonate of ammonia, four-fifths of an ounce; good wheat flour, four
ounces. Mix thoroughly, and pass through a fine sieve.--_Dr. E. A. C._
TO DRY HERBS.

when dry take them out, pick off the leaves, put in bottles, cover
tightly, and keep in a dry place.--_Mrs. R._
TO KEEP WEEVIL OUT OF WHEAT.
Put the wheat in barrels, smooth it, and sprinkle a layer of salt over
the top. Keep the barrels well covered by tying cloths over them. A
sure preventive.--_Mrs. Dr. P. C._
FERTILIZER FOR STRAWBERRIES.
Nitrate of potash, one pound; glauber salts, one pound; sal soda, one
pound; nitrate of ammonia, one-quarter pound. Dissolve the above in
forty gallons of water, one-third to be applied when the leaves begin

roses or any other perfume desired.--_Dr. E. A. C._
CAMPHOR ICE.
White wax, two ounces; spermaceti, two ounces and two drachms;
camphor, six drachms. Melt, and add olive-oil, five ounces and five
drachms; glycerine, three drachms. Make into eighteen cakes.--_Dr. E.

two drachms; washed lard, half an ounce; pure olive-oil, half an
ounce. Melt in water-bath, and stir with it, while cooling, two
drachms glycerine.

white castile soap, quarter of a pound; powdered white sugar, quarter
of a pound; powdered pumice-stone, half an ounce; powdered carmine,
