HERS' REMEDIES]

121. Cleaning Stoves.--Before blacking my stove I rub soap on my hands, as
if washing them, letting the soap dry on. When washing my hands after the
work is done, the blacking and the soap come off together easily, leaving
no stain on the hands.

122. Left-Over Peaches.--If there are not peaches enough left from an
opened can to go around, mix them with orange pulp and a little sliced
banana and the family will find them improved.

123. Substitute for Cream in Coffee.--For a substitute for cream in coffee
put a pint of fresh milk into a double boiler and let it come to a boil,
stirring often. Beat the yolk of one egg very light and pour it into the
boiling milk and mix well.

124. Cooking cauliflower.--Soak cauliflower an hour before cooking. Put
into boiling water to which a tablespoonful of salt is added. Boil from
twenty to thirty minutes according to size of the head.

125. Uses for Child's Broom.--A child's broom should find place in the
bath room. It can be kept in the clothes hamper, and will be useful in
sweeping under the bath-tub.

126. Dish Cloths.--Dish cloths are often neglected. They should be kept
scrupulously clean, and in order that they may be so they should be washed
out carefully with soap, and well rinsed each time they have been used.
After this has been done they may be hung in the air to dry. Some people,
however, like to have a stone jar containing a solution of soda by the
sink and to keep the dish cloths in it when not in use.

127. Watch for the wishes of the customers and not the hands of the clock,
and some day you will have your boss's job.

128. We judge our neighbor as queer and eccentric, but with the same
measure comes back his judgment of us.

129. Uses for Men's Worn Out Collars.--Men's collars when worn out, can be
opened and bound together as a memorandum book which can be laundered each
Monday.

130. Broiling Meat.--A little salt thrown on the coal flame will clear it
for broiling meat.

131. Combinations of Cherries and Pineapple.--A combination of cherries
and pineapple makes a most-delicious pie.

132. Crepe Paper for Dish Closet.--A pretty effect for the dish closet may
be found in crepe paper. Some prefer white, but a tint harmonizing well
with the china is pretty too. Have it to fall about three inches below
the edge of the shelves and ruffle the edge of the paper by stretching it
lightly between forefinger and thumb.

133. Boiling Rice.--One
