HOME INTERESTS.

To CLEANSE TAPESTRY CARPETs.-Beat
and sweep them thoroughly, remove all
grease spots with oX-gall mixed with wa
ter, put on with a scrubbing brush; then
wipe the whole carpet with a weak solu-
ton of ox1gall in warm water. This re-
moves the dust and brightens all the
colors.
PICKED EGGs.-Boil the required num-
Der until they are quite hard. After care
fully removing the shells place in a wide
mouthed jar, and pour over them scalding
vinegar, web seasoned with whole pepper,
allspice, a few cloves or garlic, and race of
ginger if liked. When cold cover closely,
and they will soon be fit for the table.
ALMOND TABLETs.-Dissolve in the ov-
en- i ounce of white wax in a small jelly
jar, with ! ounce of almond oil and 6
drops of essence of almonds. When melt
ed, pour into lids of pomade pots, or the pot
itself, having oiled them for turning out
when cold. This whitens and smooths
the hands, when used on them, greatly.
PoTATo BREAD.-Take 6 good-sized po-
tatOes boil and mash fine; add pintS of
boiling water, and put through a colan-
der; then stir flour in till it makes a stiff
batter. When lukewarm add teacup of
y
morning add a teacup of not water, a
teaspoon of salt, and knead in -four until
quite stiff. Let it stand until light and
then make into loaves that will half fill the
baking pans, and when they have risen TO
nearly the top bake one hour in a
moderately hot oven.
CREAM PE.-For the inside, egg cup
of sugar, cup of flour. Beat well, stir
into pint of boiling milk and let it just
come to boil again stir it while on the
stove, then set away TO cool. Make the
crust the same as for other pies and line a
plate; spread some lard or butter on the
top and then put on another crust and
bake; when done and nearly cold, take
off the top crust and put the cream into
the lower one; then put the top one over
the cream. A little essence of lemon may
be stirred into the cream just before it is
put into the crust.
CLEANING WALL PAPER.-Take a piece
of wood of the shape of a scrubbing-
brush, nail handle on the back, then
upon the face nail a piece of dried sheep
skin with the wool upon it; or flax or tow
will do, or cotton flannel of several thick
nesses will answer very well. Dip this
brush into dry whiting, and rub the smoke
lightly with the brush, on the upper parts
of the room first, protecting the carpet
with mating or newspapers, as the whit
ing dust is hard to sweep off carpet. The
whiting that remains on the wall is easily
brushed off with soft cloth attached to
stick. 1t is very effectual if the room is
not damp and the whiting is dry.

Sometimes these thefts are like other pur-

these cases the thief sells his stolen manu-

But the publication is far oftener the des-

his vanity TO claim the verses among ac-
quaintances, and who is, therefore, forced

Besides, when one has told the same lie
constantly for certain time, he begins to
believe it. 1t is related of a well-known

he told So many lies about an imaginary
horse of his, that before sailing for home
he bought an expensive saddle for it.

A WORD IN SEAsoN.-Health is bles-

its fullness. Those endowed by nature
with robust frames and vigorous constitu-
tons should be careful not to trifie with
them.
When we enter the seasons of periodic
terers, the increased heat of the sun de-
velops miasma which pervades the air.
The evil is ineXtinguishable our duty to
guard against it is imperative Fortunate

DON'T TAMPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hui
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as a temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal Tor attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Consumption A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
rivulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enc
