CURRANT JELLY. - Procure currants
that are not too ripe, as they will make the
firmest Jelly and the handsomest color.
Wash the currants; mash slightly, and let
them boil until they are soft; strain
through a stout coarse bag, squeezing and
pressing them closely so as to extract all
Of the juice. To each pint allow q pound
of white sugar; put the juice into the pre-.
serving kettle and boil for twenty minutes,
then add the sugar, let it boil for five min
utes longer, and put into your glasses
while scalding hot, placing the glasses on
the wet towel to prevent their cracking.
NOoDLEs.-Two eggs well beaten, a lit
tie salt, stir in as much flour as you can
with spoon. Place it ON your molding-
board, and mold in -four till it is very
stiff. Cut in halves and roll out very
thin, about like waters. Cut in strips
three inches wide, sprinkle on flour to
keep them from sticking together, and
roll each piece up into roll. Then, with
a sharp knife, begin at the end and cut in
fine strips, the fine: the better. Place
them on dish, sprinkle on flour, and
shake them lightly through the fingers to
straightcn them out. Cook five or ten
minutes.-C0r. Inter Ocean.
AMARKETGARDENERh had a very fine cow
that was MIXED week after week by two
hired men. He observed that the amount
of butter he carried to market weighed
about q pound more on each alternate
week. He watched the men and tried the
COW after they had finished milking, but
always found that there was NO milk left
in the teats. He finally asked the Scotch
girl, who took care Of the milk, if she
could account for the difference. "Why,
yes" she says, when Jim milks he says

Paris Green as a Household Poison.

STATE AssAYER HAYES, of Massachusetts,
(whatever his other duties may beg, in con-
junction with President Chandler, of the
Board of Health, are acting in peculiar
manner by opposing the use of Paris
green as o destroyer of potato bugs.
The first-named official declares that if
the tubers are not poisoned, the earth is
sure to be, and the Yankees are so care
less that they do not wash their potatoes
carefully, so that while eating dirt with
their esculents they are certain to be poi
soned. The Board of Health declares the
poison to be so dangerous that 1t has
'.str:ctly prohibited its sales ut retail.
The Colorado bug first made its appear
ance in the West in 1864. and until it was
discovered that Paris green would check
them, all the laborious attempts at hand
picking, ETC., were useless, and it was
feared that they would finally exterminate
this useful vegetable altogether. Many
ignorant and unclcan persCn were poi
soned by handling the unclean larva of
this repulsive pest, ignorant as they were
of its dangerous qualities.
About 1868 various poisons were tried.
diluted with certain powdered substances,
such as plaster, wheat middlings and
flour. corn meal, road dust, etc. The ar
semitic Of copper, or Paris green, was
found to be most effectual, and in the
West hundreds of tons have been con-
sumed, single firm in one city having
bought five tons at once for retailing to
customers. Hundreds of thousands of
persons have used it, without single aR-
tbentic case of poisoning from it that the
writer has ever heard of.
OF course, rs an active poison, it is
very dangerous, and must be used care
fully. The writer has bought large
quantity of it within the past ten years
for himself and neighbors, has mixed it,
in the proportion of one pound Of Paris
green to thirty of wheat middlings, and
has busted it over fully hundred acres
of potatoes, shaken from an old can with
the bottom punched in holes, early in the
morning when the dew is on. In no in.
stance has the slightest injury ensued tc
anything except the potato bugs. If any
of the powder did touch the ground, the
iron in the soil would render it inert
