Brown Stewed Fish.--Place about
four pounds of fish in the stew pan, sea
soning it well with pepper, salt and a
sewed onion; stew slowly; it must be
little more than covered with the water.
When cooked remove the fish with a
strainer, place in deep dish, leaving the
water in the pan. Then have ready a
sauce Of the following: "A pint of vine
gar, pint of molasses, ten cents worth Of
stale grated gingerbread, small piece of
butter, some black pepper, cloves, all
spice, ginger. Throw this in the pan
with the water from the fish, LET it boil
about ten minutes, till nicely thickened,
then throw ever the fish.
Before washing almost any colored
fabrics il is recommended to soak them
for some time in water, to every gallon OF
which is added a spoonful of ox.gall. A
teacup OF I've in pail of water is said to
improve the color of black goods, when
it is necessary to wash them. A strong
clean tea Of common hay will preserve
the color OF French linens. Vinegar In
the rinsing water, for pink or green, will
brighten those colors, and soda answers
the same end for both purple and blue.
The colors of the above fabrics may be
preserved by using strong milkwarm
lather of white soap and putting the dress

Two years ago bought some Savoy
cabbage-seed, which produced cabbages
excellent, very large and solid, many of
them filling a halt. bushel measure, from
some Of the finest of which raised seed.
Near the sane spot also planted some
blood red cabbages for seed. Each was
carefully secured, bagged and labeled.
Last spring both kinds were sown, in sep
arate beds, to obtain plants. AL grew
finely, but, strange TO relate, each bed OF
plants looked alike, and not perfect red
cabbage or Savoy was 10 be found among
the lot. The season being late, however,
the plants were selected and set out-the
reddest plants in one place and the whitest
in another, and all were fairly cultivated.
Still not good head of either colored
cabbage has resulted, all being mongrel
hue, between red, or blue, green and
white. This instance shows that red and
white cabbage seed should never be grown
near together.--Cor. ". \. Tribune.
