To WASH FlSE CRocnEr LACE, TIA
rrMAY SoT SnRINE N BECOME Thick
Cover a glass bottle with linen, and then
tack the lace smoothly upon it, rubil
with soap and cover it with calico, Boil
it for twenty minutes in soft water, let
all dry together, aud the lace will BE-
found ready for use. A long piece Of
litt lllllSI lJt M'lllIlNl iJllll'l tllNA I'llll''
the bottle, the edge Of each round
II little above the last, and Il few
stitches to keep it firm ut the beginning
and end, will be found sufficient.
LEMON PIE. Take two quart bowls
in one squeeze three lemons and extract
the seeds. In the other, beat three
eggs, with three tcacups Of sugar, CRATE
in some nutmeg, and st them aside.
After mixing the crust, which | do with
half II pound Of lard to rather more
than a pint Of water, sometimes rolling
1t out and spreading on it Il quarter Of a
pound OF buttcr-at other times omit
ting most Of the buttcr-put the under
crust on two plates then mix the con
tents of the two bowls, pour it on the
crust aud bake Immediately, ns the
lemon Juice and eggs soon harden to-
Ecthcr.
CuRE o STYEs. Put Il t%easpooniul
Of soda in II small bag, pour on it Just
enough boiling water TO molstcn it, then
put it ON the eye pretty warm. Keep
II ON all night, and in tho morning the
styc will most likely be gone; If not II
second application is sure to remove it.
We have also heard that the white OF
nm egg, applied to the cyclid with II
feather lust before retiring, oon effects
II cure. Styles arise from impurity of
the blood, and no permanent cure can
he effected by n mere external applicN
ton. The blood should be kept in n
healthy condition by the frequent use
of some mild purgativc-say Il dose OF
rhubarb and maRncsia.
RAISED BIscurr.-'Iake Il pint bowl
full of light dough, break into it aircsh
egg, and add II piece Of butter the size
Of IN egg. Kncad in these until per
fcctIy incorporated with the dough. II
will require about ten minutes. ltOl
it about an inch thick, cut it into bis
cult. Iay them upon n thin sheet or
shallow baking pan, and let them rise
in n moderately warm place. They will
become very light, and should be baked
in II quick stove, baker or V e They
will bake in twelve or fifteen minutes,
and are injured by being baked very
slowly. Very nice eaten fresh, but not
hot. This me sure will make about
two dozen. They are not as good next
day rs biscuit made without an egg.
VALUABLE RECIPE. Take one pound
OF sal soda and II half pound of
mslncked lime put them III II gallon Of
water and boil twenty minutes let it
stand till cold then draw off and put
in a strong Jug or jar. Soak your clothes
over night, oruntil they are wet through;

of soap, and with II boiler Of clothes,
we'll covered over with water, add one
tcaspoonful Of the fluid. Boil half nm
hour briskly, then wash we'll through
one sul8 and rinse through one water,
and your clothes will look better than
the old way of washing twice before
boiling. This is an invaluable recipe,
aud every tired woman should try it.

ly II tip-top substitute for apple snucc,
apple butter, tomato preserves, and all
