fresh Juicy apples; peel, core and stew
them into pulp, being careful to use a
porcelain kettle or stone Jar, placed in a
kettle of boiling water; mix the pulp
with two pounds of the best -four; put
IN the same quantity of yeast you would
use Tor common bread, and as much
water as will make it a fine, smooth
Dough; put it into pan and place it in
warm place to rise, and let it remain
Tor twelve hours, ct least. Form it into
rather iong-shaped loaves, and bake in

hard boiled eggs, six ounces of bread

uTes. They are also very nice, the oys-
tiers being chopped with the bread and
eggs, and baked IN small scollop- edged
cake-pans.
SoUP.-Cut some new carrots and
some new turnips in the shape of peas,
put them in separate sauce-pans with
enough stock to cover them, and pinch
of sugar. Keep them On, the fire till
the stock has all boiled away, but mind
they donot catch or burn. Cook some
peas and asparagus points in the same
way. You should have equal quantities
of each of these vegetables. Cut out
of lettuce and sorrel leaves pieces the
size of a sixpence, and let them have
one boil in some stock. Pat all the
vegetables so prepared In the soup tn
reen, add few sprigs of chivril, pour
over them some Well-havored consomme,
and serve.
GREASE SPoTs ON Books OR PAPERS.
Gently warm the soiled part or paper
and then press upon it pieces of blot
ting paper one after another, so as to
absorb as much of the grease as posi-
BILE. Have ready some fine, clear, es-
sential oil of tuFpentine, heated almost
to a boiling state, warm the CREASED
leaf little. and then, with q soft, clean
brush, wet with the heated turpentine
both sides of the spotted part. BY re-
peating this application the grease will
be extracted. Lastly, with another
brush dipped In reetifed spirits of wine,
go over the place, and the grease will
no longer appear, neither viii the paper
be discolored. 81 esstaEa#
YELLOW PfoknEs. Get the hardest
heads of cabbage you can find and cut
them into quarters. Put them in a ket-
tie and sprinkle over them little salt
set them on the fire and let them sim
mer till tender. Then take them out OF
the water and let them stand until the
next day. Take as much vinegar as
will cover them, one tablespoonful OF
turmeric, and scald them. Let them
stand in it day; then take them out and
let them drain. Now put them in a
stone jar, and pour boiling vinegar
over them, with spices to your taste,
mustard and celery seed, with q few
chopped onions. You should be care
full not to cook the cabbages too much,
or they will come to pieces. The ad-
vantage of making cabbage pickles by
this recipe is that the old-fashiOned
tedious process is avoided, and yet the
result is found equally satisfactory. Let
it not be omitted TO add three pounds
of sugar, brown or white, TO one peck
of pickles.
THE SULPHURIc AcID CURE FOR DIP
THERLA. - Inc Hamilton Spectator.
South Australia) publishes details of
the 2" Creathead" cure for diptheria.
The disease is declared by Mr.. Great
head to be of hYdated growth, and that
the germ of it floating about in certain
impure atmosphere were inhaled by
human beings. For a grown person
four drops of sHlphuric acid diluted in
three. quarters of tumbler of water,
with a smaller dose for children. The
effect Of this treatment was said to be
instantaneous, the acid at once DESTROY
ing the parasites, and the patient cough
ing up the distractions. The papers
have teemed with the accounts of suffer-
ers who had recovered IN a few minutes
by adopting the ''Greathead treatment. {"
Children. almost previously IN a diving
state, were declared 20 be playing about
within ten minutes. and at a moderate
computation some forty or fifty OF these
sudden recoveries have been placed on
record with full particulars.
