sBAKING HAMs.-I am going
to bake a ham to-day, and as
that is, therefore, most on my
mind at present, l may as well
tell my lady readers how I pro-
pose doing it. Most persons
boil ham. It is much better
baked, if baked right. Soak
it for about an hour in clear
water, and wipe it dry; next
spread it all over with thin bat
ter, then put it into a deep dish
with sticks under it to keep
it out of the gravy. When it
is fully done take off the skin
and the batter crusted upon the
flesh side, and set it away toi
cool.

Professor johnson, of Scot

and as this is partly dissolved

healthy body is sufficiently obvi-

as a special and indispensable
constituent, and so do all the

the supply Of salt, and neither
will the bile be able properly to
assist digestion, nor the cartil-
ages be built up as fast as they
naturally waste.

The California Farmer says
North Adams has a dog which
his owner valued at 500, for the
reason that he was the instru-
ment of saving a valuable horse
which was stolen from his stable
not very long since. The dog
followed the thief until daylight,
when the rascal left the stolen
steed in an enclosure under the
East mountain. The dog gal
loped straitway home, and by
his vehement action induced the
owner to follow him to his lost
property.

The Uses of Ammonia.

Spirits Of ammonia is nearly az
useful in housekeeping as soap,
and its cheapness brings it within
the reach Of all. For many house
hold purposes it is invaluable /; yet
its manifold uses are not as gener.
ally known as they should be. Il
is a most refreshing agent at che

If water will make a better bath
than pure water, and il the skin is
oily, it will remove ali glossiness
and also disagreeable odors. Ad'
ded to a foot bath, it entirely alb
serbs all the noxious smell so Of
ten arising from the feet in warm
weather, and nothing is better
for cleansing the hair from dand'
ruff and dust. For the headache
it ia also a desirable stinuIant,
and frequent inhaling of its pun.
gent odors will often entirely re.
move a catarrhal cold.
For cleansing paint it is very
useful. Put a tablespoonful of
ammonia to quart of warm soap
suds. dip in flannel cloth, and
wipe off the dust and hy specks,
grim and smoke, and see for your
selves how much labor it will save
you. No scrubbing will be need
ful.
1t will cleanse and brighten
silver wonderfully; TO pint of
hot suds mix a teaspoonful of the
spirits, dip in your silver spoons,
forks, etc. rub with a brush, and
then polish on channels skin. Fol-
washing mirrors and windows it is
also very desirable; put a few
drops of ammonia upon piece Of
newspaper and you will readily
take IF every spot or finger mark
on the glass.
1t will take out gresss spots
from any fabric; put on the am
monia nearly clear, lay b'otting
paper over the place, and press q
hot hat-iron on it for a few mo.

A few drops in water will clean

ail-brushes it is equally good
Put a teaspoonfnl Of ammonia int
one pint Of warm or cold water,
and shake tina brushes through
the water; when the bristles look
white, rinse them in cold water,
and put into the sunshine or in d
warm place to dry. The dirtiesI
brushes will come out from this
bath white and clean.
There is no better remedy for
heartburn and dyspepsia, and the
aromatic spirits Of ammonia is es
pecially prepared for these
troubles, Ten drops Of it in a
wipeglass of water is often great
relief. The spirits Of ammonia
can be taken in the same way,
but 1t is not as palatable a dose.
Farmers and chemists are well
aware of the beneficial effects of
ammonia on all kinds of vegeta
ton, and if you desire your roses,
gerapiums, fuchsias, etc, to be-
come more Furnishing, you can
try it upon them, by adding FIVE
or six drops of it to every pint of
warm water that you give them,
but don't r peat the dose oftener
than once in every FIVE or six
days, lest you stimulate them too
highly. Rain water is impregna-
ted with ammonia, and thus it re-
freshes and WHITES all vegetable

So be sure and keep a large
bottle Of it in the house, and have
a glass stopper for it, az it is very

alors, les radicaux n'eussent pu emettre
pour trente millions de Bons qui sont

est, scion nous, d'abolir les obligations
