Hints on Canning Fruit.

The season when fruit will be plenty
is fast approaching, and those house
keepers who have seen how much their
canned fruit was enjoyed the last winter,
will be making calculations to put up
large supply the present summer. There
is nothing healthier, and really, hardly
anything cheaper, than canned fruit.
1t may seem unnecessary to those
who are already adopts at the art, to
write anything on this subject; but !
can assure such. that there are hundreds
of bushels of fruit spoiled every year.

Various Ways of Cooking Vegetables.
Mrs. SMITH-I find that cabbage,
cauliflowcr, and all leaves used as
greens, if boiled in hard water, preserve
their color better than if the water is
soft Unless they are very young and
tender, their flavor will be much i'm
proved if, when half cooked, they are
taken into a colander, cold water poured
over them, and then placed in fresh
pot of boiling water with some salt, and
boiled briskly until they are done.
Mrs. FIsK.-Asparagus, prepare in
this manner: Cut it in pieces, and boil
until nearly done in salt and water, then
drain put into q stew-pan flour and
butter, stir them together, and moisten
with spoonful or two of milk or veal
gravy; into this work the yolk of an
egg and little cream; put in the aspar-
agus, and boil all together two or three
minutes; serve on buttcred toast.
MRS. JAMIsoN.-My way of cooking
green peas is as follows: Steam them
until done, then place them in a sauce
pan with salt, butter, and little milk !;
boil oil together five minutes and servo.
A sprig Of mint thrown into tho sauce
pan is thought, by some, to improve
their flavor. Mrs. Bland will tell US
how to make o lettucc-salad
Mrs BLAND.-Lettuce should be
freshly gathered and placed for an hour
in cold water, then carefully picked and
trimmed. Tho water should all be
drained off or absorbed by clean nap
kin. Then cut it fine, pouring over it
two Or three tablespoonful of strong
vinegar, and mixing with it teaspoon
full of sugar. In another plate, rub to-
gether, with wooden spoon, table
spoonful of sweet-oil, the same of made
mustard, the yolks of two hard-boiled
eggs, little salt and pepper Then
mix this with the prepared lettuce, tast-
ing it, and adding more of whatever in
gredient is lacking. Pepper-grass is
quite an addition to this dish. The
whites of the egg should be cut in thin
rings, and used to garnish the dish

They are not so apt to cause indigcs-
ton when prepared in this way as when
cut up raw in vinegar. Cut them in
thin slices, lengthwise, and soak them
in vinegar and salt for half an hour
Dry them in clean towel, and fry in
butter, very light brown. TO the but
ter in which they were fried, add a little
-four, the yolk of an egg, and some meat
gravy; mix all well together, pour over
the cucumbers, and serve.
MRS. LEsTER-We shall soon have
new potatoes, and as they are not very
healthful, being eaten frequently before
they are fully ripe for the table, sug-
gest that they be first boiled, then
mashed, mixed with the yolk of an egg,
salt, milk, and butter, and baked half
an hour In cooking potatoes, there
cannot be too much promptness in pour
ing off the water from them the minute
they arc done. A watcr-logged potato

particulars OF the Mitchell case, which excul-

she was very injudicious in her behaviour.
