How TO MAKE A MUSTARD PLAs-
TFR.-How many people are there who
really know how to make mustard
plaster? Not one in hundred at the
most perhaps, and yet mustard plas-
tiers are used in every family, and ply
sicians prescribe their application, nev-
er telling anybody how - make them,
for the simple rtaSon iiIat the doctors
themselves DO not know as Il rule. The
ordinary way is to mix the mustard
with water, tempering it with little
-four, but such plaster as that makes
it simply abominable. Before it is
half done its work it begins to blister
the patient, and leaves him finally with
a painful, fiayed spot, after having
produced far less effect in beneficial
way than was intended. Now a mus
tard plaster should never make bis
ter at all. If blister is wanted, there
are other plasters far better than mus
tard for the purpose. When you make
a mustard plaster, use no water what
ever, but mix the mustard with the
white of an egg, and the result will be
a plaster which will 'draw" perfectly,
but will not produce blister even
upon the skin of an infant, no matter
how long it is allowed to remain upon
the part. For this we have the word
of an old and eminent physician

SNOW-CAKE.-Sif one tumbler pull
verized sugar into cake-dish; fill a
tumbler two-thirds full winter wheat
flour, pinch of salt, and one teaspoon
cream-tartar, and fill the remainder
with corn-starch; add the whites of ten
eggs, beaten until they will stand on
an inverted platter; use colorless ex-
tract for fiavoring. A rather slow oven.
LEMON CAKE.-Two cups of sugar,
half cup of butter, one cup sweet milk,
three cups -four, whites of four eggs,
half teaspoonful soda, one of cream
tartar; bake in four shallow tins; when
cold put the following mixture be-
tween them: To the grated peel and
juice of two lemons put one cup of su-
gar, wet one and a quarter tablespoon
corn starch with very little cold wa
ter, and turn over it half a coffee-cup OF
boiling water; add trifle of salt, and
butter size of a walnut.
RUBY's BIsCUIT.-In the morning
CRATE three medium-sized potatoes;
pour boiling water upon them until il
is about as stiff as yeast; when cool
enough to scald, add half a cup ofsweet
yeast; let it rise; when risen, add pint
of warm milk, three tablespoonfuls Of
sugar, two of lime-water, some salt, and
-four enough to make stiff batter; this
will soon rise; then add enough more
flour to knead, and rise again. Cut and
mold the bread thoroughly before ri.
sing. Put the biscuit in warm place
half an hour before baking. I prefer
the lime-water: still, half a teaspoonful
of soda will do. Following this recipe,
sweet, white, tender biscuits will be
the result.
PRESERVATION OF FURs.-As this
is the season when we put away our
winter furs, I will mention how pre-
serve mine entirely free from the at
tacks of the moth. first hang them
out in the sun for day or two, then
give them a good beating and shaking
up, to be sure no moth is in them al
ready. Ithen wrap up bag of cam
phor and place on each; then wrap up
each in sound newspaper and paste
together so that there is no hole or
crevice through which moth can gain
entrance-and my furs are perfectly
safe. You will say that there is no Sc
cret in this, and there is none. Every
lady can take care of her own furs, if
it is not too hard work for her, without
sending them to the furrier's, as many
do.-Ger. Telegraph.

carbolic acid, which / first recommend

A Good Word for Local Papers.

Tne New York Times says you
might nearly as well forget your
churches, your academies and school
houses as to forget your local paper
1t speaks TO ten times the audience
that your local minister does. 1t is
read each week from beginning to end.
1t reaches you all, and if it has low
er spirit and less wisdom than a ser
mon, it has thousand times better
chance at you. Laying, as it does, on
almost every house, you owe it to
yourselves to rally literally to its sup
port, and exact from it as able, height
ened character as you do from any
educator in your midst. 1t is in no
sense beneath notice and care-unless
you yourself are beneath care--for it is
your representative. Indeed, in its
character it is the summation of the
importance, interest and welfare of
you all. 1t is the aggregate of your
own consequence, and you cannot ig-
more it without miserably depreciating
yourselves.

How to Catch AbscOnding Swarms

How to Catch AbscOnding Swarms
While recalling the various plans for
hunting bees, it occurred to me to tell
our brother bee-keepers of a very SIM
pie method to catch acknowledgements.
The idea is new to me, and though
some of your readers may know and
practice this method, 1 have never seen
it described in any bee journal.
The idea was impaired to me by a
neighboring bee-keeper, who showed
me two fine swarms he had thus OBJ
tanned during the past summer. Ipro-
pose to adopt the plan next season, and
know that a great many of your rea.
derS will, also, if they should chance
to read this, for it is sure thing and
not patented.
Should you enter tract of woodland
in a bee-keeping neighborhood, in the
height of the swarming season, you
will observe many bees searching close
ly around the trunks OF the larger trees.
When they find cavity suitable for a
habitation, they are ready to guide the
new swarm to their new home, if they
succeed in getting away from the api-
airy, and we know that many do. Now,
we want those swarms, and how are
we to get them? Why, simply thus
Take few old bee gums or box hives,
nail bottoms to them, have few small
holes in the sides<for entrances, and
hang them up in few of the large
trees-and if an absconding swarm en-
tiers the forest it is almost sure to enter
one of your hives, which can be moved
to your apiary at your leisure.
DON'T leave any large holes in your
dec0y hive, if you do, squirrels are sure
to enter also. My neighbor overlooked
this matter, and found in one of the
hives not only swarm of bees, but
also nest of squirrels, all living har-
InOniously together.-Cor. Am. Bee
Journal.
