“These were cup-bearers undying,

Of the wine that’s meant for souls.”

[HOUSEHOLD HINTS.]

A rag steeped in turpentine will usually stop severe bleeding of a cut.

Stains on bedroom basins come off easily if rubbed with a little Brooke’s Monkey Brand soap on a damp flannel.

Bedroom and sitting-room fires should be always kept laid and ready to light at a minute’s notice in case of an emergency, accident, or illness.

Water-bottles in bedrooms should be completely emptied each day and refilled with water that has been boiled.
