GOosEBERRY JAM.-Stalk and crop as
many as you require of ripe, red, rough
gooseberries. Put them in the preserv-
ing pan, and, as they warm, stir and
bruise them to bring out the juice. Let
them boil for ten minutes, then add
sugar in the proportion OF three quarters
of pound TO every pound of fruit, and
place it on the fire again. Let it boil
slowly, and continue boiling for two
hours longer, stirring it all the time to
prevent its burning. When it thickens
and is jeily-like on plate when cold,
it is done enough. Put it into pots, and
allow it TO remain day or two before
it is covered.

How FISHERMEN Cook FIsH.-The
fish are prepared and seasoned, pinned
to board by wooden pegs, and then
board and all are propped up close to
the fire, the fish is quickly baked
all its flavor. Another popular but lazy
method is TO cover the fish with clay
two inches thick, and throw it into the
hottest of the fire. The clay hardens
almost instantly, and the fish in its
tough oven bakes through and through,
retaining also its juices. The clay is
then poked out of the fire, cooled with
"a dash of water, and sharp stroke with
a stick separates it from the fish. The
fish's skin peels off with the clay, and
the dish is ready. Plain bread and pota-
toes constitute the rest of the meal.

SCIENTIFIC.

Spontaneous Combustion-An impor-
tant communication has been made to
the Societie lndustrielle, France, show
ing the result of some investigations
recently made concerning the sponta-
neOus combustion of oily refnse, and
the relative einfiammability of the differ
ent oils at present employed for lubri-
eating purposes.
Experiments were thus made upon
fragments of cotton, linen, jute and
wOolen waste saturated with oils of
different natures, the materials being
placed in box of tin, having a double
bottom in which steam entered, so that
part which received the refuse could be
maintained at temperature of one
hundred and eighty degrees, Fab, a
thermometer. inserted in the oily sub
stance, enabling the variations of tenn
perature occurring therein TO be accu-
rately noted.
The results obtained are stated to
show, first, that any vegetable or ami
NAL oil inevitably takes fire after few
hours under the above conditions. On
employing cotton waste, the mass
burns quickly and with flame, in con-
tact with the air. Wool refuse is slowly
transformed into black carbonaceous
mass. The additions of mineral oil
known as mineral lubricating oil
serves to retard the spontaneous COM
bustlon of vegetable or animal oil, if
mixed in small quantity; if large
amount be added, Inflammation is en-.
tirely prevented. The mineral oil used
In this case was very dense product,
$500 having great viscosity and emit
ting no fhfiammable vapors even in con-
tact with an ignited body at any point
below 33S degrees Fahrenheit-or, i'm
other words, remaining safe at tenn
peratures at which mixtures of less
dense mineral oils, or COLA oil, burn.
The addition of forty per cent. of min
eral oil is sufficient to prevent sponta-
neOus cOmbustiOn; while the addition
of twenty per cent. doubles the time
necessary to determine conditions ia
vOrable to the same.
The Pdpier Zeitung remarks that it
would be an advantage if wall papers
could be had which would adapt them
selves to the degree of illumination of
the room in which they are hung, be-
coming darker with greater bright
ness, and brighter as the darkness IN
creased. The proposal has been made
to coat the walls of rooms with Oxalate
of copper, which becomes dark in light
and bright again in darkness. By COM
bination with other. colors wall papers
might be obtained which would pre-
sent an agreeable variation of cOlors.
Antidote for Oidium on Grape Vmes.
M. ChatOt, Frenchman, recon-
mends common table salt as an anti
dote for Oidium, or grape vine disease.
He says that his vines and grapes were
covered for some years with fLLgus-
like substance and that last spring he
sprinkled handful of salt about the
roots of each vine. The effect was
marvellous, the viues grew luxuriantly
and bore an abundance of grapes en-
tirely free from the fungus and oidi-
um.

DOMESTIC.

LAMP SHADEs.-''As we have been
tried and annoyed beyond endurance
with paper shades for kerosene lamps
and with porcelain shades, which are
but little more satisfactory than paper.
we ordered shade made'of tin, in form
like the conical paper shades. A paper
shade has always cost from twenty-five
to thirty cents. A tin shade as large as
a paper shade, cost twenty-five cents.
But we soon learned that the inner side
of the tin shade required coat of
white paint, as the reflection of the
bright tin gave an unsatisfactory light.
As the light fell on the printed page
when one was reading, the surface
would be so clouded in places and so
bright in other spots that it was ex-
tremely difficult to read. But coat of
white paint proved TO be a desired
remedy FOR the difficulty. The outside
of the shade was covered with shellac
varnish. The shade of lamp should
be entirely Opaque. Porcelain shades
and paper are more or less translucent,
as they will allow the light to pass
through them TO ones eyes. The eyes
should be kept from the direct rays of
the light as far as may be practicable.
The light ought to shade on the object
to be seen, and not on the object and in
the eyes also. If the lamp can be en-
tirely surrounded by an Opaque shade,
except small opening through which
the light can shine on the printed page,
the eyes would be required to make far
less effort TO see than if the shade were
translucent. Let it be borne in mind
that the eyes will see far better if no
light is allowed to shine in them or in
the face.

CHICKEN PoT-PIE.-Cut up and par
boil pair of large fowls, seasoning
them with pepper, salt, and nutmeg.
You may add some small slices of cold
ham; in which case use no salt, as the
ham will make it salt enough. Or you
may put in some pieces of the lean of
fresh pork. You may prepare suet
paste; but for a chicken pot-pie it is
best 10 make the paste of butter, which
should be fresh, and of the best quality.
Allow TO each quart of flour small
half-pound of butter. There should be
enough for great deal of paste. Line
the sides of the pot, two thirds up, with
paste. Put in the chickens, with the
liquor in which they were parboiled.
You may add some sliced potatoes.
Intersperse the pieces of chicken with
layers of paste in square slices. Then
cover the whole with a lid of paste, not
fitting very closely. Make a cross-slit
in the top, and boil the pie about an
hour or more.
