BOILED BREAD. Two cups of Indian
meal, two cups of rye, one of flour, two
thirds of cup of molasses, a pint and
half of milk, little salt, and a teaspoon
ful of salaratus pour it into a deep pail;
put it into pot; have just enough wa
ter to keep it boiling: cover tight, and
do not boil into the pail, and keep it boil
ing three hours when you will have a
loaf of bread without any crust.
POTATO PoULTICE. it is not
generally known how much pleasanter
and more agreeable, as we'll as more eff
cacious, is a poultice made of potatoes
than one made Of bread 1t keeps heat
longer and can be re-heated several times
boil and mash the potatoes; inclose in
muslin bag, and apply to the affected
part. To put them in hot water has a
very soothing effect, and enhances their
value. A pouEtice made of boiled beans,
is thought by some to be better than
potatoes, but both are worthy of a trial
To KEEP PREsERv5 FROM MOULD. =
The closet in which swcetmcats are kept
should be perfectly dry and cool. If it
is the case, and the following recipe used,
| preserves will keep for years. Cut a
round cilcle Of writing paper, the size Of
the pot, and one about an inch aud hall
larger. Take the white of an egg and a
paste brush, and lay coating of the
white of the egg over the smaller circle
and then lay that piece on the top of tbs
Jam, with the untouched side Of the pa
per next to the jam. Take the large
| piece and coat it on one side wth thl
white of egg, and let the surface thu
coated be the one turned inward. Til
circle is to cover the pot, and the white
of egg renders it adhesive, and paste i
down firmly all around the edge of The
crack.
A REMEDY Of sun-stroke, which ha.
proven effectual in cases where it hat
been tried, is to battle the hands, hesC
and face with lemon juice. The effect i
immediate.
MINI SAUCE-Take a bunch'of greer
mint, and chop it ine with knife, o
rub it in mertar; add half pint o
fine suger. and half pint of sharp win
egar. STIR or rub well, and serve cold
to be eaten with roast lamb.
TOMATOES. With meat. raw, shou!l
be sliced up in vinegar, salt and pepper
like cucumbers For tea, use swee
cream and sugar; they are almost a
good as strawberries.
TEA.-A French chemist asserts tina
tea be ground like coffee before hot watel
is poured upon it, it will yield nearly
double the amount of Its exhilaratins
qualities.

EGG STAINS ON SILvER.-To remove
the stain on spoons caused by usuing
them for boiled eggs, take little COM
mon salt, moisten between the thumb
and finger, and briskly rub the stain,
which will soon disappear.
SOLVENT FOR OLD PUTTY AND PAINT
Soft soap mixed with a solution of pot
ash or caustic soda +; or rerlash and slack
ed lime mixed with sufficient water to
form paste Either of these laid on
with an old brush or a rag, and left for
some hours will render it easily remov-
able.
To REMOVE GREASE SPoIs FROM
WoOL--In removing the grease spots
from wool, use very weak alkaline So
luton as a substitute for soap, because if
the solution is too strong it will act chemi-
cally upon the wool, tending to dissolve
it, and thus impare its strength and
lusture.

THR TRK,TY.-A Washington dispatch
avs: There is no doubt that four or five
Senators have prepared amendments to
the treaty of Washington. A number of
Scnators are preparing TO deliver elaborate
speeches on the subject. which will here
after be published should the injunction
OF secrecy be removed. The recent COM
ments on the treaty both in England and
canada have disposed Senators to look
more closely into the provisions and rela-
tive bearings. and there is ground for be-
lief that the SESSION will be prolonged for
three or four weeks. The select commit
tee on breach of Senatorial privileges have
commenced their laborS. ~upoenas have
been served on several correspondents
