Japanese Cement, To Make
Strong and Colorless—For Fancy Paper Work, Etc. —Mix the best powdered rice with a little cold water; then gradually add boiling water till a proper consistency is acquired, being careful to keep it well stirred all the time; lastly, it must be boiled for one minute in a clean saucepan. This paste is beautifully white, almost transparent, and well adapted for fancy paper work, or other things requiring a. strong and colorless cement.
Coffee-Pots, Tea-Pots, Tin Saucepans, Etc., To Clean Inside.
—When the inside of a coffee or tea-pot has become black from long use, fill it with soft water; throw in a small piece of hard soap, and boil it from 1/2 to 1 hour; and it will be as "bright as a new button, " without labor or expense. When tin sauce-pans become " grimmy " or dark from use, do the same with. them, and you will be pleased with the result. Cover while boiling. Then scald out well and all is complete.
