IODINE AND BoILs.-As soon as a boil
becomes hard and inf1amed paint it with
iodine. The poison viii not be scattered,
but will be absorbed by it:
APPLE WATER.-Slice two large ap-
pies, put item into jar, and pour over
them one pint of boiling water. Cover
close for an hour; pour off the fluid, and
sweeten if necessary.
TRY VINEGAR ON LIME SPoTs-Vine-
gar will neutralize lime spots on wooden
cloths without iniuring the color of the
cloth. Dark cloth, the color of which
had apparently been destroyed in large
blotches, was perfectly restored to its
original color by the application of strong
vinegar.
Picked PEACHES. half gallon
sharp vinegar, four pounds sugar, two
ounces cinnamon, two ounces cloves; put
the spice in bag; boil the mixture five
minutes, then put in the peaches and boil
them five minutes; take them out and put
IN more; put the peaches in jars, and
pour the mixture over them hot; when
cold, cover tight.
CORN SoUP.-Eight large ears, cut off
the grains and scrape the cObs. Cover
this with water mot too much) and boil
until perfectly done. Now add two quarts
of milk, let it come to boil; stir in two
tablespoonful of butter rolled in a
tablespoonful of flour, let the whole
boil ten minutes; have ready the yolks
of three eggs well beaten, pour the soup
on them, stirring hard all the time.
Serve Immediately, after seasoning to
taste.
A NICE table is often seriously injured
in appearance by some one placing on it
pitcher OF boiling water, or a hot dish,
which leaves a whitish mark To remove
this 1t is Onlynecessary to pour some lamp
oil on the spot and rub it hard with a
soft cloth; then pour on little spirits of
wine or Cologne water, and rub it dry
with another cloth. The white mark will
thus disappear, and the table look as well
as ever.
THE unpleasant odor produced by per-
spiration is frequently the source of vex-
alton to persons who are subject to it,
Nothing is simpler than to remove this
odor much more effectually than by the
application of such costly onguents and
perfumes as are in use. It is only neces-
sary to procure some compound spirits of
ammonia and place two tablespoonfuls in
a basin Of water. Washing the face,
hands and arms with this leaves the skin
as clean and sweet as one could wish.
The wash is perfectly harmless, and very
cheap. 1t is recommended on the author
lty OF an experienced physician.
A FRENCH technical paper, specially
devoted to the art and science of paper
manufacture, states that any alterations
Or falsifications of writings in ordinary
ink may be rendered impossible by pass
ing the paper ON which it is intended to
write through solution of 0.01543 En-
gllsh grain of gallo acid in as much pure
distilled water as will fill to moderate
depth an ordinary soup-plate. After the
paper thus prepared has become thor
oughly dried and its surface made smooth,
it may be used as ordinary paper for
writing, but any attempt made to alter,
falsify, or change anything written there
on, will be left perfectly visible, and may
thus be readily detected.
ARTIFICIAL WATER LIME.-It has been
long known to chemists that water-l lime
consists substantially of quick-lime, burnt
clay, and small portion of the oxides of
iron and magnesia, but scarcely any effort
has been made to utilize this knowledge.
All yellow or red clays contain iron, and
most specimens of lime in use contain the
required magnesia. If burnt clay or
brick-dust, in the fine powder, be mixed
with an equal weight of fresh Stacked
lime, and twice this weight of clean,
sharp sand be added, compound will be
formed which will harden under water
equal to the best hydraulic cement.-,Sci-
