Apple Corer, to Make
Size to Cut the Tin, Etc. —Cut the tin
3 by 4 inches and roll it up to be 4 inches Jong, and 3/4 inch in diameter, at the smallest end, as it should be a very little larger at the other end, to withdraw easily.
Remarks. —If a small wire is put into the large end before rolling up, it will not hurt the hand to push it through the apple, without which, it would soon injure the hand.
1.. Silverware, to Brighten with Little Labor. —When it is desirable to brighten silverware without a formal scouring, prepare some pieces of silver cloth, as follows: Obtain hartshorn (carbonate of ammonia), 2 ozs., powdered or broken up finely, and boil it in 1 pt. of soft water. Dip suitable pieces of muslin in the liquor and hang up to dry without wringing. When dry, fold closely and put away for use. Simply rubbing the silver with one of these pieces will surprise you by its improved appearance. Never put soap on silverware, if you wish to keep its original lustre.
