FRIED APPIEs.-A dish of fried apples ID
quickly prepared for the table, which is often
consideration of no small Importance. Wash
them-cut them in two, take out the stem,
core and calyx, and unpeeled put into tin pan
WIN ouiter, or the gravy of baked pork, with
some water, IN proportion TO the quantity TO

baked or raw, disappear with good gusto when
fried" We may truthfully pronounce despica-
bic Penics, when fried, are good; but the Por-
tiers, Belaowers. Talmau Sweets, and a long
list which We might name, when fried, are real
ly luxury. Sour apples do not fry well; they
fry TO pieces too much
Eco PoNE.-Take three fresh eggs to one
quart of meal, and mix with milk and add one
table spoonful of butter; mix all well togeth-
er, and make up of a consistence somewhat
thicker than the cakes, or so thick that it will
not pour out bake in a tin pan set in Dutch
oven, not too hot at first, but by gradual aug
meHtation of heat till done. The object ofthis
Ii TO secure the baking of the bottom first
| which will insure the rising of the cake, cause
it to become beautiful brown on the top, and
when placed on the table and cut to resemble
pound cake"
Satisfy OR VEGETA BILE OYsTER.-We could
never perceive much resemblance in the taste
OF this vegetable to the real oyster but we
know a person who cooks it in such a manner

across the roots, boiled, IN just sufficient water
to cover them, till they are very tender. When
done, they should be dressed With vinegar, pep.
per and salt, aud little butter or instead, a
dressing Of eggs and flour beaten together aud
poured over them.-COunfry Gentleman.
STEwED PEARs.-Pare, halye, or quarter
any large winter pears throw them into cold
water as you pare them, TO prevent, them from
turning black put them into stewpan, and
sprinkle as much sugar as will make them pref
ty sweet add lemon peel, Glove or two; just
cover them with water. Cover them, and
stew three hours.-Azericdn Cook Book
PIcKLEs.-An excellent way to make pic
kles that will keep year or more is-drop
them into boiling hot water, bat not boil them;
let them stay ten minutes, wipe them dry, and
drop into cold spiced vinegar, and they will
not need to be put into salt and water-
The above is my wife's rule, which she has
proved TO be good one.-E Exchange.
Frozen FLEsH-Mr A Bronson, of Mead
vile, Pa, says, from fifteen years experience,
he finds that Indian meal poultice covered with
young hyson tea, sofened with hot water, and
laid over burns or frozen flesh, as hot as can be
borne, will relieve the pain in five minutes
Ii blisters have not arisen before they will not
after it is piit on, and that one poutice is gen.
orally sufficient to effect cure.
BAEISG Pow WDERs.-Tararic acid, four and
half ounces, arrow-root, or riee-hower, FIVE
ounces. Mix. Another recipe is the follow
ing: Alum, FIVE ounces bicarbonate of soda

ammonia, half an ounce arrow root four

To PREVENT BRAss AND OTHER METALS
FROM RUsTNo.--Dip the articles first into q
very dilute nitric acid and mmerse them in
hnseed oil, and allow the excess of oil to drain.
This process etlectualy preserves metals from
oxidation
PoTAToEs LA CREME.-Prepare the pota-
toes as above, and toss them gently in a quar-
ter-pint or more of thick Ehite sauce or of COM
mon bcchamel, with or without the addition Of
the minced parsley
PASTE FOR CLEANING BRAss.-Rotten stone

oil, three quarters of an ounce; turpentine

tie water.
PoNATUN-Melt slowly together one pound
of prepared suet, six ounces of oil of sweet al
monds, and three ounces of white wax, perfum-

CrxE FOR A CAxcER.-Mr Thomas Puder-
ton, an Englishman, gives the following recipe
fdpcancer, which he says has been of great
service in several dangerous cases Boil fine
Turkey figs in new milk, which they will thick
en- when they are tender, split and apply
them as warm as can be borne TO the part at-
facted, whether broken or not the part must
then be washed every time the poultice is chan
ged, with some Of the milk use fresh poul-
tice night and morning, and at least once dur
ing tie day, and drink a quarter Of pint Of
the milk the figs are boiled in twice in the
twenty-fuUr hours. If the stomach will bear
il, this must be persevered in three or four
months at least A man, aged s5 years, wns
cured, about six years before his death with
only six pounds of figs The cancer, which be-
gan at the corner of his mouth, had eaten
through his jaw, cheek, and half way down his
throat; yet il was so perfectly cured that it
never showed any tendency to return. Should
it ever do sn, the figs should again be applied.

but afterwards each dressing gives relief A
