HOUSEHOLD HINFS.

APPLE BREAD.-Weigh one pound of
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 flour put
IN the same quantity of yeast you would
use for common bread, and as much
water as will make it a fine, smooth
dough put it into pan and place it in
n warm place to rise, and let it remain
for twelve hours, at least. Form it into
rather long-shaped loaves, and bake in
a quick oven.
OYSTERS SooLLoPED IN A PAN.-Mix
well the finely chopped ye,ks of six
hard boiled eggs, six ounces of bread
crumbs, three salt-spoonfuls of salt,
and one each of ground cloves, mace
and white pepper. Blanch one hundred
oysters, put them in a deep pudding
dish, IN layers, alternately with the
eggs and crumbs, finish with the latter,
and on the top spread two ounces of
butter cut into small dice. Bake in
quick oven from twenty to thirty min
utes. They are also very nice, the oys-
ters being chopped with the bread and
eggs, and baked in small scollop- edged
cake-pans.
SoUP.-Out 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 do not catch or burn. Cook some
peas and asparagus points in the same
way. You should have equal quantities
OF each II these vegetables. Gut out
OF lettuce and sorrel leaves pieces the
size of sixpence, and let them have
one boil in some stock. Put all the
vegetables so prepared in the soup tu-
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 "a
absorb as much of the grease as posi-.
bic. Have ready some fine, clear, es
sential oil of turpentine, heated almost
to boiling state, warm the CREASED
leaf little, and then, with soft, clear
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 rectihed spirits of wine
go over the place, and the grease will
no longer appear, neither will the paper
be discolored
YELLOW PICKLEs.-Get the hardest
heads of cabbage you can find and Gu
them into quarters. Put them in a ket
tie and sprinkle over them a little salt
set them on the fire and let them sim
mer till tender. Then take them out o.
the water and let them stand until th,
next day. Take as much vinegar a.
will cover them, one tablespoonful o.
turmeric, and scald them. Let then
stand in it a day; then take them out anG
let them drain. Now put them in
stone jar, and pour boiling vinegar
over them, with spices to your taste
mustard and celery seed, with few
chopped onions. You should be care
tul 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-fashionec
tedious process is avoided, aad yet tn,
result rs found equally satisfactory. LIE
1t not be omitted to add three pound,
OF sugar, brown or white, to one peel
of pickles.
