Household Hints.

BOTTLE THE APPLES.-An Eastern
paper says, bottle the apples. Not all
Of them, perhaps, but as many as
you can afford to buy bottles for.
Apples are about as near without q
market price now as we ever knew
them, and if preserved by bottling, they
will really cost but little more than the
expense Of bottles, and if carefully
handled these will last many years.
Pare and cook the apples as for the
table, and after gradually bringing the
bottles toa degree Of heat which will
prevent breaking, fill with the apple
boiling hot, and sealing Immediately as
for other fruits.
VIENNA CoFEEE.-The New York
Tribune says: Bleach the coffee, al
lowing to each person a tablespoonful
Of ground coffee, and one extra for
the pot; then to one quart of cream !,
put into a pitcher and set in boiling
water, allow the white Of one egg
beaten to a froth; then add three table
spoonfuls of cold milk to the egg, and
mix well; then remove the cream when
hot from the fire, and adj the egg,
stirring it brisk!y for q few seconds;
then serve. This gives 8 coffee equal
to that at the Vienna Bakery
