sugar. Pack the fruit in tumblers, and pour
the syrup over it. Paste writing paper over

move the silk, and then replace them-pack
it away in barrel, and pour ON a strong
pickle, such as used for meat, with Il weight

for cooking.
To SPoRTsMEs.-Washy your gun barrels
in spirits of turpentiDe, by dipping a rag or
sponge fastened ON your gun rod into the
liquid, and swabbng them out two OF three
times, when they will be cleaned from all
Impurities, and can be used almost instant
ly, Us the turpentine will eyaporate and
leave tie barrels dry; even if they are lit
tie moist it will not prevent their going of,
like water. After being washed thus, there
is no danger OF rust as when water is used.

To CLEAN BLONDE LAcEs.--Cut some
old soft linen into strips little wider then
the lace. Make them into one length, and
tack the lace very carefully ana evenly at
the extreme edges. Then make lather of
soap-suds, with the chill just off the water;
