core the apples and put them in u two.
quart basin. Make u crust OF either sOuI
cream and soda or with baking powder
the same as for rice biscuits. Put water
enough to cover the apples and cover with
the crust. Put an overlapping cover
over the basin, and cook on top of the
stove or bake in the oven if you prefer A
sauce made of butter, sugar, water and
nutmeg, or lemon is excellent us is also
sweet cream where the apples are not
acid. Twenty five minutes is long enough
to cook ordinary apples. This is some

A pURABLE P.srE.~-Four parts, in
weight, of glue are allowed to soften by
fifteen parts Of cold water for some hours,
and then moderately heated till the solu-
ton becomes quite clear. Sixty. five parts
of boiling water are now added, with
stirring. In another vessel thirty parts OF
starch paste are stirred up with twenty
four parts of cold water, so that a thin
milky fluid is obtained without Jumps In
to this the boiling glue solution is poured
with constant stirring, and the whole Is
kept at the boiling temperature After
cooling, ten drops Of carbolic acid are add
ed to the paste. This paste is of ordinary
adhesive power, and may be used for
leather, paper, or cardboard with great
success. 1t must be preserved in closed
bottles, TO prevent evaporation of the wa
ter, and will, in this way, keep good for
years.
How TO INSERT Screws I'm PLASTER
WALLS 1t often becomes desirable 60
insert screws in plaster walls, without at
taching them to any woodwork but when
We turn them in the plaster gives way and
our efforts are vain. And yet screw
may be inserted in plaster so as to hold
light pictures, etc, very firmly. The best
plan is to enlarge the whole to about
twice the diameter of the screw fill it
with plaster of paris, such as is used for
fastening the tops of lamps, etc, and
bed the screw in the soft plaster When
the plaster has set, the screw Will be held
strongly.
A Day CELLAR--A correspondent. of
the American Agriculturist tells bow to
make dry cellar out of wet one. He
says. Dig out the bottom of the cellar,
commencing at the sides two inches below
the walls, increasing the depth TO the
center, SO it shall have the form of an
inverted arch; then the earth should be
pounded firmly and we'll cemented, allow
ing the cement to go under an inch or SO,
and up the sides for two feet Then the
the bottom should be filled up level with
sand and paved. If this is all properly
done tho cellar will be dry permanently
