~ one hour. Pour it out into pans, and
when cold it makes a wholesome and
good dessert, if sliced and fried. Eat it

Friction of the body is one of the
gentlest and most useful kinds of exercise,
either, by the hand, > piece Of flannel, q
toerably cohEseaowsE or. "a -sfesli brush.
Friction cleans the skin, promotes per-
spiration and increases the war nth and
energy Of the body. In rubbing the stom-
ach, perform the operation in a circular
direction, as that is most favorable to the
course of the intestines and their natural
action.
Snow Pudding.-Pour one pint boil
ing water on half box of gelatine, add
the juice of one lemon, and two cups of
sugar. When nearly cold, strain, add the
whites of three eggs beaten to froth,
in glass dish. Take the yolks of these
three eggs, one pint of milk, one teaspoon
corn-starch, flavor with vanilla, and cook
as you always do soft custard; pour it
round the jellied part, or serve separately,
as you prefer.
To Color Cotton Red.-Take muriate
of tin two-thirds ola teacup; add sufficient
water to coyer the goods we'll. Bring. to
boiling heat putting i'm the. goods one
hour and stirring often. Take out the
goods and empty the kettle and put in
clean water with Nicaragua wood, one
pound, sleeping for half an hour at hand
heat; then put in the goods and increase
the heat for one hour, not bringing it to
boil at all. Air the. goods and dip as be-
fore. Wash without soap.
Cure for Chilblains.-Bathe the feet
for half an hour in water as hot as can be
borne add hot water after the feet have
been in few moments, as they will bear
more than at first. Let the water be at
least as hot when the feet are removed as
when put in. This draws the inflamma-
ton out and allays the itching which is
SO very painful. Dry with cloth then
battle we'll with hemlock oil (which can
be got at any druggists at a tritling cost;
dry it in by the fire. Repeat the applica-
ton three or four nights if needed. Care
should be taken not to chill the feet i'm
mediately.
Save the tea leaves for few DAYS,
then steep them in tin pail or pan for
half an, hsuf, strain through q sieve and
use the tea to wash all vanished paint
1t requires very little ''elbow polish" as
the tea acts as strong detergent, cleans
ing the paint from all impurities, and
making the varnish equal to new. 1t
cleans window sashes and oil-cloths; in
deed, any vanished surface is improved by
its application. 1t washes window panes
and mirrors much better than water, and
is excellent for cleaning black walnut
picture and looklng-glass frames. 1t will
not do to wash unvarnished paint with it.
Whiting is unequaled for cleaning white
paint. Take email quantity on a damp
flannel, rub lightly over the surface, and
you will be surprised at its effects.

dime. use strong oil barrel to pound
in; it is cheap and strong, makes a good
water barrel, or convenient to put dirty
clothes in. Soap your clothes we'll, and
put into your barrel just warm water
enough to thoroughly wet the clothes. In
washing this way persons generally use
