THE HOUSEWIFE.

TRANSPARENT PuDDINo.-Take the yolks OF
twelve eggs, beat to froth, and sugar to
make stiff batter; small bit of butter,
flavor with anything to suit the fancy. Have
two good size pie plates lined with Ipastry !;
sour the butter in and bake until done. Some
pour preserves (small fruit) in the pastry be-
fore the butter.
HUsK TOMATO PIR.-Line the sides OF a deep
plate with pastry, slice the tomatoes thin,
add sugar, little butter, some pounded
cloves and nutmeg, add half cup of water,
and a little brandy. A little flour makes the
serup richer. Cover the whole with pastry,
leaving an opening in the centre to let the
steam escape.
INDIAN PgDoINd.-The Florida Sentinel tells
how to make this dish: Add to one pint of
cold milk, one pint of meal, one teaspoonful
of salt, two tabespooufulls of flour, one tea
spoonful OF the essence of lemon, one teacup-
full of sugar or syrup; and stir alto batter,
then add two quarts of boiling milk, stirring
until well mixed, and bake three hours in an
oven heated so MS to toil. Serve hot with
butter. The above is cheap, healthtul, and
one of the best buildings. The essence or oil
may vary according to taste.
CURE FOR FEVER AND AeuE.-The following
simple remedy for'the cure of ague and fever,
was brought from the Spanish Main, and has
been found very effective in this locality
Just before the chill comes on, have pot of
very strong coffee made and keep it hot and
when the first chill is felt pour out about a
pint and squeeze the juice of couple oflem-
Ons into it, and little sugar to make il palat-
able, drink it off, go to bed and cover up
warm. One trial of this often cures, while
two or three trials never fail
To CLEAN GLovRs.-Lay them on clean
board, and first rub the surface gently with
clean sponge and some camphene, or mix
ture of camphene and alcohol. Now dip each
glove into cup containing the camphene,
lift it out squeeze it in the hand, and again
rub it gently with the sponge, to take out all
the wrinkles. After this gather up the cuff
in the hand, and blow into it to puff out the
fingers, when it may be hung up with thread
to dry. This operation should not be con
Quoted near to a fire, owing to the infamma-
BILE nature of the camphene vapor. The re-
ceipts given in all the printed books, we have
consulted, for cleaning gloves, are barberous.
SALT Pork CAKB.--0ne pound salt pork
chopped fine, pour on tea-cup of hot water
one quart of flour, two cups of sugar, one cup
molasses, one teaspoonful saleratus; spice
with cloves and cinnamon.
To DYE AVERY DARK BLuE.--Add to a com
mon indigo dye, one tablespoonful of madden
to'one ounce of indigo.
MAGuRING FLOWERS. of tile best man
ures for towering plants is soap-suds. Save
a tubful after the weekly wash is over, and
apply it with a watering pot. Liquid manure
is by far the best, and indeed, the only kind
which should ever be employed during the
growing season. Cow manure diluted with |
water, is an excellent manure for rose bushes. !
Sulphate ofpotash, nitrate of potash, guano
hen manure, &c, may be put in an old cask
or tub in a corner Of the garden, and kept /
dissolved ready for use. BE careful T. dilute (
it WE'LL as it will be much better to apply ii /
too weak, than to kill your plants by having
it too strong. 1t is difficult to give recipe
for the exact quantity to be used, but excr-
else your own judgment about the matter,
To DYE SLATE GoLoR.-Boil green chestnut
bark an hour; take out tile bark, aud add /
fourounces green vitriol forone pound woollen
yarn or cloth; stir frequently one hour: dry
