To CANDY FRUIT-Take one pound of

of water, and put the sugar in preserving

candying state. When sufficiently boiled
have ready the fruitsyou wish to preserve.
Large, white grapes, oranges separated
into small pieces, or preserved fruits, taken
out of their syrup and dried, are nice
Dip the fruits into the prepared sugar
while IL is hot, then put them in a cold
place; they soon become hard.
AN exchange gives the following as an
excellent receipt for bottling fruit: TONNE
pounds OF fruit put five pounds of white
sugar, when 1T comes to boil Boil ten
minutes. Be careful to stir the fruit as
little as possible, not to bruise It, Pour

raspberries and plums of all kinds, is

To PRESERVE TOMATOES FOR WINTER
AND EARLY SUMMER USE Tho most eco.
nomical mode for family purposes is to put
them into mouthed jars, holding
two, three, or more quarts, according to
the size of the family. The tomatoes, pre-
viously to their going into winter quar-.
ters, are merely cooked without seasoning
of any sort, and put, while hot, into the
jars which should be filed full and the
corks driven home tightly and tied down.
Preserved in this manner, they will keep
as fresh almost as when first picked,
To CLEAN PAINTS. There is 'yery
simple method to clean most any kind of
paint that has become dirty, and if our
housewives should adopt it, IL would save
thom great deal of trouble. Provide q
plate, with some of the best whiting TO be
had, and have ready some clean warm
water, and piece of flannel, which dip
into the water, and squeeze nearly dry
then take as much whiting as will adhere
to 1t; spply IL To the painted surface,
when a little rubbing will instantly re-
move any dirt or grease. After which,
wash the part well with clean water, rub
bing it dry with a soft chsmois Paint
thus cleaned looks as we'll as when first
laid on, without any injury 10 the moot
delicate colors. 1t is far better than using
soap, and does not require more than hall

TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEyEB.-Dr
CharlesT. Thompson reports in the LANCET
his manner Of treatment in scarlet fever as
follows The patient is immersed In a
warm bath in the early stage of tho dis.
ease, and this is repeated frequently, or aG
often as the strength of the patient will
allow. The first effect is to produce a
soothing and refreshing feeling in the
patient, to be followed soon by such an
eruption ON the surface, of so vivid color
and in such amount as would astonish
. those who have never witnessed it. Thus
, one of the greatest dangers of this feal ful
disesse~~the suppression of the eruption
is escaped, The appetite generally re
turns after the first or second bath, and
the strength of the patient Is kept up by
, nutritious food. The bath prevents the
, dissemination of the disease, by removing
I the excreta from the skin as soon as il Il
deposited. This treatment promotes
cuticular desquamation. The body should
? be gently dried by soft linen cloths after
: the bath. BY this procedure the variou;
secretions are deprived of their noxiou.
: properties, and the irritation of internal
5 organs is quickly relieved, thus dissipating
! infection. Another benefit is that very
" serious case ia soon reduced TO a mild one
, and the patient reoovers in less than hal
! the usual time Since DIR. Thompson ha,
: pursued this practice c-during the las
I fifteen years-he has never lost patient
