SMOKED WALLs.-A correspondent of the New York Herald writes to know if anything can be done to keep the smoke from an old kitchen wall from striking through and turning the whitewash yellow. That journal replies: Put ten cents worth of white vitriol-pulver- ized-in two quarts of cold water i; wash the walls with a common white wash brush dipped in this solution. Let it dry over night, then apply the following whitewash: Put in pail the contents of a twenty cent package of white rock lime. Fill the pail with hot water, cover and let steam, stirring occasionally until dissolved. Add to this five cents worth of painters blue. This can be applied with an ordinary whitewash brush. It does not rub of, :, and rivals in whiteness the finest kal- somining. Three rooms, 24xl6, can be whitened with one twenty-cent pack age. U

MILK-MADE DEssERTs.-Among the many dishes of which milk is the standard material none require 1t more than desserts. We are SO fond of some- thing, as the children would say, to leave a pleasant taste in the mouth, that our dinners do not seem complete with out a concluding delicacy. Desserts add but a trif1e to housekeeping ex- penscs, especially those simply made of milk and eggs. With little ingenuity one recipe may serve with variations for so many dishes. Make soft boiled custard by using pint of milk, the yolk of two eggs, two tablespoOnfuls of sugar and teaspoonful of corn starch, slice two oranges, and line the bottom of your pudding dish; flavor the custard with the juice or grated peel of one orange (be careful to grate only the yellow part-the white skin is very bitter), turn the custard over the orange and bake ten or fifteen minutes. Beat the white of the two eggs with a tablespoonful of sugar, and spread on the top when the pudding is baked and let it brown slightly. For another pudding, slice four apples and let them simmer in the oven with little water till tender. Make custard in the same way as before, pour over them, but flavor with lemon. Again, put half a can of strawberries, peaches or pine- apple in your pudding, and you vary your pudding according to your fruit. The remaining fruit in the can may be used another day by making a corn starch pudding, according to the recipe on the package, adding the fruit while it is boiling, to be served either hot or cold, with cream and sugar or sauce. With berries it is nice to make sauce of cup of sugar, half cup of butter rubbed to cream, favored with tea spoonful of lemon and vanilla, two tea spoonfuls of vinegar. Then pour upon the mixture teacupful of berry juice boiling hot. This same recipe, with a cupful of juice from stewed prunes, makes delicious sauce for a boiled pudding or roly-pOly. Half can of fruit is sufficient for roly-poly. By using fruit in this way one can well make two desserts. will give one other standard recipe, to be varied ac- cording to taste. Put half package of gelatine in cup of cold water, and let it stand ten minutes, then pour on a cup of boiling water, stirring until thoroughly dissolved. Add cup of cream or milk, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and cup of cold boiled coffee, and mould to be eaten cold with cream and sugar. This is called coffee cream. For chocolate cream, make in the same way, but add instead of coffee cup of grated chocolate boiled in 8 cup of milk. For orange cream add the juice and grated peel of one orange and the yolks of two eggs. For pineapple cream, a few slices of pineapple, 8 cup of juice and the yolks of two eggs. Other fruits may be used in the same way.

Chimney-SavallOars and tbeir Nests.- The chimney swallows is another we'll known bird, which builds it's nest in- side unused chimneys. The nest of this bird is somewhat like that of the barn-swallOw in shape, but is made of small sticks instead of mud. These sticks, like the little balls of mud, are like substance which is formed in the of the bird; for almost all the birds which belong to the swallow family are able to secrete this glue. and make use of it in building their nests.
 The chimney swallows are usually not abundant in large cities, and so are met with there only now and then; but in small towns, and in the country, they are very common, and nearly every unused chimney has at least one nest. The birds feed almost entirely upon insects, and when the young brood is matched, the parents hunt for food therefore you often may hear, in the middle of the night, the twittering of the young birds in the chimney when the old ones return to the nest with the insects which they have captured. Like the barn swallows, the chimney-swal- lows are very sociable, and so many often build in the same chimney that the nests block up the fue and entirely stop the draft. When heavy and long which the nests are stuck on becomes softened, and the old birds striking against the nests while flying in and out, break them from their attachment to the bricks, so that that they fall to the bottom ot the Hue. It is said that, in 1857, during 8 long season of wet, cold weather in June, four hundred and eighty of these birds, young and old, were precipitated down single chim- ney in Woodbury, Connecticut. Some times the chimney swallow and the barn swallow build their nests in caves or hollow trees, but barns and chimneys are so much more safe and convenient, that they are almost always selected in preference.-St. Nicholas.

A bill Of very important character has boon
introduced in tho English Parliament having
for its purpose tho confederation Of the South
African colonies, the Cape Colony, tho Trans
raal, and Natal. Tho bill provides for COM
plcte Government OF tho confederation, aud also
leaves Il optional for the Dutch Republic to Join
the unioti, In which case their inhabitants arc to
become naturalIzcI British subjects. Although
tho colonists themselves arc very suspicious Of
tho bill, there seems to bo q general impression
that It Will become a law, and tho
English papers arc already discussing tho
most advantageous locality for the seat Of
Government, some Of them favorlng Cape Town
and others Uitcnhagc, near Port Elizabeth
The Pal Mall Dud0et says: "Tho most formid-
able opposition to the bill, however, Is likely to
arise on tho provisions relating to tho Prfey
Councli, which do not acknowledge, 1t Is snld,
tho principle Of responsible governments
to the constitution OF the Legislative Council by
tho nominations Of the Governor General. Tho
existing Legislative Council Of tho Cape Colony
Is founded upon popular election; and although
tho coionsts IN l87i were by no means eager TO
accept responsible government believing It
10 b. introduced ~ an excuse for tho Withdraw
nj Of military support BY tho Liberal Ministry at
home, thcJ aro now vury impatient Of attacks
upon It." II Is OF interest In this connection.
also, TINT there is a project for the confcdcsa-
tiou OF tho Australian colonies, although In tho
latter Instance tic movement originated with
