A CHEAP The follow
inc will be found to be g cheap and
pleasant fumigator for sick rooms, diff
fusing a healthful, agreeable, and high
" penetrating disinfcctant odor in close
apartments, or wherever the air is de-
Perforated. Pour common vinegar on
powdered chalk until effervsscence
ceases, leave the whole to settle, and
pour off the liquid. Dry the sediment
and place it in shallow earthen or lass
dish, and pour upon it sulphuric acid
until white fumes commence arising
This vapor quickly spreads, is very
agreeably pungent, and acts as pow
erful purifier of vitiated air.
Corn PoNE. Boil 3 quarts water,
stir in corn meal until you get a thick
mush, cover and let stand ] hour; then
add pints cold water, and all the meal
you can stir in with a stiff spoon; add

set in a warm place to rise. When
risen, add 1 pint of sifted flour, J tea

crust is formed, then reduce the fire and
bake slowly or 4 hours. Good hot,

for few minutes, and pour over the
fruit. Repeat the boiling for 3 days il

name of ''euchred fruit. y 4-.-...
