COOKING SALsIFY.-Seeing an inqui-
ry in this paper for cooking satisfy or
oyster plant, send receipt which has
been used in our family for several
years, and all who try it think it equal
to real stewed oysters: Scrape the Oys-
ter plants, and wash clean; cut them in
thin slices, and put them in a tin or
porcelain vessel, with just enough cold
water to cook tender, without boiling
dry. When tender, put on Il little more
than enough milk to cover them, and
boil up just once; then add Il lump of
butter, and pepper and salt, and serve
hot. You will find them very nice. If |
kept in the ground as they grew, they
are nice till spring: but if gathered and
put in box of loan in the cellar, they
are more convenient, and keep very
well.-COuntry Gentleman.
COFFEE DIsINFECTANT.-Num
Gus experiments with roasted coffee
prove that it is Il most powerful means,
not only of rendering animal and vegc-
table eflluvia innOcuOus, but of absolutely /
destroying them. A room in which
meat in an advanced state of decompo
sition has been kept for some time may
be almost instantly deprived of all smell
by placing an open coffee-roaster in it
some newly roasted coffee.
We have known Of the most disagreea-
bic odors from cesspoOls completely re-
moved by the employment of little
coffee. The true way to prepare it for ,
his use is to break the berries into fine
PARTICLES in 4 mortar and roast after !,
ward on Il smooth surface until it as
'umes dark brown tint. Then sprinkle =,
t in drains or place it on 4 plate in
'oOms it is desired to disinfect. Coffee. !,
'cids or oil acts more readily in minute !

To MAKE STRAW PICTURE FRAMES.
Pick out from bundle of straws u
hose without flaws. 1t takes five for q
ach part of the frame. Arrange them b
nus: Put one long straw in the CEN o
er, short one on each side, and a i
hOrter again on each side of these: sew 8
hem together at the back with some h
trOng cotton. When you have the top, b
ottom and sides ready, fasten them to- o
ether at the corners in the form of an ~
'xfOrd frame, placing the top and bot il
)m ones in front of the sides. Then n
,ake four small pieces of three straws q
l each, the center one the longest, and q
,sten them crOsswise to each corner by W
leans of piece of ribbon tied round II
le ribbon is to hide where the parts of n,
lie frame are joined together The 81
