Somg housekeepers are now trying
the plan oT employing domestic help
for only part of a day, without going
to the expense of having to provide
an extra room for a permanent maid.
One family engaged a helper for the
four morning hours, from eight to 12,
for four dollars a week. During that
time she swept, dusted, washed all
the dishes, those left from dinner of
the day. before as well as the break
fast china; prepared vegetables, made
beds, accomplished a great deal of
ironins;. Of course." all this was not
done, in one morning. The work for
each day was i planned beforehand.
Pnr less than this one would imagine
good" service could be had, but when
one" considers"' that space and furni
ture aro svtl and no meals given.
this -kind of a servant is in reality
cheaper than a regular "general, in
a small familv a flat does not always
furnish enough work for the whole
time of a maid, and nothing is more
trvine for maid and mistress than for
the former to have idle hands in so
small a space. Restlessness and dis
content are sure to arise, while the
liniisokeener cannot- conscientiously
enjoy doing a little cooking or house
work on her own account, lest she
take away the excuse that keeps her
servant. It would be more satisiac-ti-i7
in such a case to dismiss the
"general" for an hourly worker if it
were not for the awKwaraness oi uv
ing to answer one's own doorbell at
many an inopportune and trying mo
ment. - Many a housewife pays good
wne-es to an indifferent maid.
Much of your china, bric-a-brac, and
e-iasisware that is discarded or thrown
'awav because of nicks, breaks, etc.,
could be mended if a little care were
e-lven to it. It is not difficult to glue
the pieces together if one is particu
lar about, fitting tlie edges cioseiy. an
china or class water pitch
er can be made serviceable again if
water is not left standing in it.- On
account of glass being transparent, it
is the most difficult to repair, because
it must be mended so carefully that
the cracks will not show.
For clear glass the best kind of
glue is made from a solution of isin
glass and gin, of which two ounces
of the former and one-half pint of the
latter are dissolved in a bottle. As
it will take some time tq accomplish
this, the bottle should be placed in
the sun and shaken daily. The liquid
should then be strained tbrouglr a
fine cloth. The glass to be mended
must be well washed in hot suds.rwell
dried, and the glue applied with a
small hair brush. When the pieces
have been fitted together they should
be held in -place by strips of muslin
until the due dries. ;?

Keep Furniture in Repair. ;
Loose rungs on chairs are annoying
besides giving the pieces of furniture
the appearance of cheapness and gen
eral disability. They may be easily
made tight by filling the grooves into
which they are fitted with a good
glue. As soon as this dries and the
rounds are made secure the glue that
has run down on the outside may be
chipped off with a knife. A loose arm
to a rocker or the runners on a rock
er may be tightened in the same way.
