THERE is nothing more useful in q
house than celery. The outsides Will
serve as havoring for soup, and the
hearts booked for the table, or to be
eaten with cheese. First of all, remove
the outside leaves from the hearts, and
trim the roots-not cut them off Have
two large pans of water, one OF warm,
the other of cold water wash each
outside stem of the celery IN warm
water with brush, and throw it into
the cold water, also the hearts, and all
gravel, insects, and dirt will fall from
the celery at once. Take all the out
side pieces and pare away every faulty
and discloured bit !; then split each
piece in two, or three or four, and cut
It crossways in very small bits, and put
it into q pie-dish. The hearts OF the
celery must be laid aside in water, and
when head or more is wanted 1t can
be taken from the water and cut In
proper shape to be served at table, but
before it is put into the last water any
discoloured bit must be cut from 1t.
To the small celery in the pie-dish add
one or two large turnips pared thin,
then cut downwards from the head to
the root in dozen cuts, but not separa-
ting the turnip then turn the turnip
round in the hand and cut it the other
way in a number of cuts hold 1t on
plate and cut it across. The tnrnlp
will now fall into many square pieces.
A carrot may be cut in the same way,
this mixture will last for week to put
into cold soup, stock, or broth, and
well boiled, to give flavor to it. Thus
there is thrift of time and thrift OF
vegetables, for it takes no longer to
prepare this for the consumption OF a
week than it does for one day. More
over, celery thus prepared will keep
good, crisp and we'll favored for fort
night-often for longer time.
PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHES. Satur-
day Rerieto has something rather
original to say of life when its principal
object is the construction. or wear
ing of fashionable clothes. Its OBJ
servations are suggested by the exami-
nation of a journal published for the
tailors' trade:
Life all drapery, or at least, life
viewed exclusively in its relation to
drapery, certainly presents, a novel and
surprising aspect. Political questions,
for example, are studied only with
reference to the gowns and bonnets
which they are supposed to be likely to
bring into fashion. 1t would appear
that the fluctuations of French parties
keep the diapers and milliners and
their customers in state OF perpetual
agitation. At one moment the Count
of Chambord is thought to be coming
to the front, and fe,rs de us and
costumes of the reign of Francis /, and
Henry ", have to be prepared IN haste.
These have soon after to give way to
bees and eagles and Imperial fashions,
while, at the same time, Republicanism
has to be recognized by a revival of the
eccentricities of the nieTUeiNeuses and
incroyables. 1t may seem strange to a
philosophical mind that English ladies
should he obliged to change the cut
and color of their dresses whenever a
new turn is given to political intrigue
in France. Perhaps, when woman's
suffrage is established, we shall find
our own domestic questions elevated
into their natural prominence in this
respect. The weather is watched by
the draper with as intense interest as
by the farmer, but the question in
which he is interested is its probable
effect, not on the crops, but on the
style of costume"
