, gether In Q bowl to thick batter. j Beat

with the rest. Throw the tops of aspar.
agus in the boiling water, with little snet
till half done. Then throw them in the
batter, hook them out, and fry them with
hot fat.
Lemon PIE.-The juice and grated rind
OF one lemon, one cup of water, one table,
spoonful of corn starch, one cup of sugar,
one egg, and piece of butter the size Of a
small egg. Boil the water, wet the corn
starch with . little cold water, and stir it
IN; when 1T bOils up, pour on it the sugar
and butter; after it cools, add the egg and
lemon; bake with under and upper crust.
Eco ToAsT.-For small family, use half
9, dozen eggs, which must be beaten very
light. Put as much butter as would half
fill a teacapl In the pan, and let il become
very hot. Then dip some slices Of bread
(cut as you would for the table) into the
>fegg, and after the pan is sufficiently filed,
pour the remainder of the egg over the
turn nd>brown on the other.
EcoNoM1c11.> VEAL SouP.-Boil a bit of
veal that will make q fticassee, pie, or hash ;;
when tender, take out the meat and slip

spoonful of flour mixed in water, dry bread,

BAKED FIsH.-Put fish in bakepan with
a little water, few slices of onion and car
rot, which add their sugar to the sauce
No good gravy can be made without these
two vegetables, parsley, thyme, and bay
leaf. If the fish water dries too fast while
| baking, add a little warm water. A fork
will tell when the fish is done by its taking.
Take out the fish and simmer the pan on
the fire to make gravy. A little broth is an
addition.
To FREsHEN RANCID BggTER.-Here is a
fact worth years subscription to paper.
10 pint of water add thirty drops (about
half teaspoonful) of liquid chloride Of
lime. Wash in this two and half pounds
of rancid butter. When every particle Of
the butter has come in contact with me
water, let it stand an hour or two, then
wash the butter we'll again in pure water.
The butter is then left without any odor,
and has the sweetness of fresh butter
These preparations of lime have nothing
Injurious in them.
AN EFFEcruAL CURE FOR THE EAR-AcHE.
Take small piece of cotton batting or cot
ton wool, make q depression in the centre
with the end Of a finger, and fill it with
as much ground pepper as win rest on a |
five cent piece, gather it into ball and tie |
it up, dip the ball into sweet oil and insert |
it into the ear, covering the latter with |
retain it in its place. Almost instant relief
will be experienced, and the application is |
so gentle that an infant will not be injured
by it but experience relief, as well as adults.
Preserving EGGs.-Take bread-pan or |
other pan, put slaked lime into it, till it has
enough to allow the eggs to stand upright,
small end downward. AS soon as the layer
is completed, fill up till they are covered
and there is an even surface. When you
have enough eggs to make another layer,
put in siaked lime sufficient to be filed up
by the eggs you have ready. You may
continue till the pan is full. If the eggs
are put in fresh, you may keep on, and
they will be fit for breakfast any time, and
be like new laid eggs. But if they are stale
when put in, this process will not restore
them.
AN EXCELLENT INDIAN PUDDING WITHOUT
Indian meal, half teaspoonful of salt, two
spoonfuls of butter or sweet lard, a teacup
Of molasses, and two teaspoonfuls of ginger
or cinnamon, to the taste 1--WE prefer ginger,
if strong j pour into these quart of milk
while boiling hot mix well, and put it in !
a buttered dish, or pudding pan ), just as
you set it in the oven, stir in a teacup of
cold water, which will produce the same
effect, nearly, as eggs. Bake three quarters
of an hour in deep dish. A very cheap
and wholesome dish. Eat with or without
sauce, but better with. +
CLEAN CLOTHING NEXT THE SKIN.-There
are few persons who sufficiently appreciate
the luxury and healthfulness of clean
clothing next the skin. There is being con-
stantly thrown off through the pores of the
skin in the form of insensible perspiration,
Il large amount of refuse and worn out ma ,
terial. This waste matter collects upon the
