Household Hints.

Egg stains on silver spoons.—These will yield to rubbing with salt on a soft cloth.

Pie-dishes and Teacups.—Use damp salt with a little lemon juice for stains and discolorations.

Silk stockings and underwear should be washed before being worn as this strengthens the material and affords longer wear.

After purchasing linoleum leave it for at least twenty-four hours in a warm atmosphere which will render it pliable and more easily managed and prevent its cracking when put down.
