Boiling Cracked Eggs
Eggs with the shells cracked can be boiled in the ordinary manner without danger of the white boiling out, if they are first wrapped in tissue paper. As soon as the paper becomes wet it will cling so tightly to the shell that the cracks are effectively closed.
A Trousers Hanger
A very serviceable hanger can be easily made of two clothespins of the clip type and about 2 ft. of large wire.
Clothesline Clips Joined Together with a Wire and Used as a Trousers Hanger
The wire should be bent into the shape shown at A with a loop about 1 in. in diameter as a hanger. The ends of the wire are slipped under the hooks on the sides of the clothespins, which are fastened to the trousers as shown in B.—Contributed by Olaf Tronnes, Evanston, Ill.
Removing Tight-Fitting Can Covers
Tight-fitting covers on lard and similar pails can be readily removed by tying a stout cord loosely below the cover, then placing an ordinary nail under the cord and twisting it. This will tighten the cord around the can evenly, which will loosen the cover.
