HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

.SaSsdtTas Mead.-4 pounds brown
sugar, quart molasses, l pound tar
taric acid, 3 quarts boiling water; stir
well together; let it stand over night !;
strain through cloth, then add II
ounces essence of sassafras; bottle it..
Finegar.-Save the parings and cores
of apples, put them in jar with warm
water enough to more than cover them !:
set them in a warm place for several
days, then strain and add / pint of mo-
lasses to gallon of the water: put in u
jar, tie thin cloth over it. keep in Il
warm place, and in two weeks YOU will
have good vinegar.
To Cleanse Black Cl0ths.-With pint
of water mix teaspoonful of spirits of
ammonia and tablespoonful of alco-
hol. Apply with sponge, and, when
necessary, use nail-brush to cleanse
thoroughly the soiled places Sponge
off with clear water and hang to dry.
This is good to restore shiny and rusty
goods and bring back their newness.
To Preserve F7overs-Carefully dip
flowers, as soon as gathered, in perfect
1y limpid gum water, and after allowing
them to drain two or three minutes, ar
range them tastefully in an empty vase
The gum will form transparent coat
ing on the surface of the petals and the
stems, and figure and color will be pre-
served long after they have become crisp
and dry.
Goose6erry Jeliy.-It is not advised to
make jelly from this fruit, unless you
happen to have large supply of it, as
but little juice is yielded in comparison
with other berries. If, however, as hap
pens sometimes in the country, they
would otherwise be wasted, no better
use can be made of them than to con-
vert them into jelly, which, if properly
made, is most beautiful and delicious.
Take the gooseberries when ripe, mash
them. and put them into kettle with a
rery little bit of water. and allow them
Just to come to a boil, so rs to make
them tender, and cause the juice to flow.
Then hang up in flannel bag. previous
ly scalded, and let the juice drip through
into Il china bowl. To every pint of
juice allow pound of white sugar, and
boil rapidly for 20 minutes. Pour hot
into small glasses or jars, and seal up

Horst Hay Fork = Patent Infrinxe-


In the case of A. J. Nellis rs. The Ashland
Fork Manufacturing Company, in the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict Of Ohio, decree has been entered in
favor of the patents, and an injunction issued
against the defendants, enjoining them from
making and selling the Harris Double Har-
pooh Horse Hay Fork. We notice from the
Court records that there are over one hun
bred suits now pending for the Infringement
of these patents, against parties in the State
Of Ohio. Evidently the owners Of the patents
are determined to protect their rights.
