aseful 4etipes.
Uses of Ammonia.

There is nothing that can be put to SO
many household uses as ammonia, or harts'
horn, as it is sometimes called. In cook
ery; there is no alkali that is equal to it.
A small teaspoonful of sal volatile (carbo.
mite of ammonia) in powder, and the same
of alum, to one quart of mixture-bread
or cake-will rarely fail to make it light
Both must be dissolved, but separately, III
in as little warm water as possible and
added Just before baking. Many recipes
in cookery books written thirty years ago
and even later, call for sal volatile instead
of salaratus, or bi-carbonate of soda.
A large spoonful of liquid ammonia to
each gallon Of suds, in which wooden fab
RIGS are to be washed, will make them
clean and soft, with half the labor Deces-
sary for washing in the ordinary way.
Hartshorn, sufficiently reduced with soft
water, is unequaled for cleaning silver and
gold, mirrors, window-glass and all paint
ed surfaces. A little ammonia, SO little
as to be hardly perceptible in the water
used for plants in the winter, will make
them wonderfully thrifty. If the color is
taken out of cloth, either cotton or wool
en-, by acids, it can generally be restored
with hartshorn, slightly weakened. APP
piled in full strength to the bites and
stings of insects it gives instant relief:
Both liquid and powdered ammonia should
be kept in bottles, with glass shoppers.
The odor of hartshorn is agreeable to most
persons, and it is strange that any house,
keeper who understands its properties, will
ever be without it.

WINDOW BoxEs.-Procure box about
fourteen inches wide, six inches deep,
and of a length to fit your window; If
possible have another box two inches
smaller every way and place inside the
larger one, filling the space between them
with sand or tan or straw; have holes
bored in the bottom of both boxes, and
and place pieces of broken charcoal to in
sure drainage; fill with the best earth pro-
durable, remembering that good, rich soil
will insure you the finest flowers; place in
the end of your boxes German ivy, morn
ing glories, MADEIRA vine, and any other
climbers that you like, and along the sides
maurandia, thunbergia, othonna, nasturtion,
and kenilworth ivy, and just inside OF
these oxalis of different colors and varie-
ties; in the centre you must place your
tallest plants and the lower growing ones
around it; have some cowslips, Chinese
primroses, sweet alysium, miguonette, and
vica myra mountain of snow geranium
gives variety to the appearance, as will
also the canary bird flower, which will give
masses of yellow flowers if it has the sun,
and the blue of the lobelia will also height
en- the effect.

VENETIAN FRITTERs.-Pick, wash and
drain three ounces of whole rice; put il
into full pint of cold milk and bring it
very slowly to boil; stir it often and let it
simmer gently until quite Thick and dry
When about three parts done, add to it
two ounces of pounded sugar, and one Of
fresh butter, pinch of salt, and the grated
half of small lemon. Let it cool in the
saucepan, and when only just warm mix
with it thoroughly three ounces of cur
rents, four of apples chopped fine, tea
spoonful of flour, and three or four small,
well-beatcn eggs. Drop the mixture in
small fritters, fry them in butter from five
to seven minutes, and let them become
quite firm one side before they are turned.
Do this with Slice Drain them as they
are taken up, and sift white sugar over
them after they are dished.

CHOCOLATE CAKE.-One cupful best
butter, and two cupfuls of sugar, beaten to
q cream; one cupful of sweet milk, three
and one half cupfuls of sifted -four; one
teaspoonful of cream of tartar sifted in the
-four; one half teaspoonful of soda, dissolv-
ed in very little hot water; the whites Of
four eggs we'll beaten, and the yolks of six;
make frosting with the whites of two
eggs, one and one half cupfuls of powder
ed sugar, six tablespoonfuls of grated choc-
olate, one teaspoonful of vanilla; frost when
the cake is warm.

CEMENT FOR KEROSENE LAMPs.-The
cement commonly used is nothing but
plaster of Paris But this is porous and
quickly penetrated by the kerosene. An
other cement is highly recommended which
has not this defect; it is made of three
parts of rosin, one of caustic soda and five
of water. This composition is mixed with
half its weight of plaster of Paris. 1t is
said to be of great adhesive power, not
permeable by kerosene, low conductor of
heat and but specifically attacked by hot
water. Zinc white, white lead, or precip-
itated chalk may be substituted for the
plaster, but they harden more slowly.

For washing silver put half teaspoon
full Of hartshorn down into the suds in
which the silver is washed; have the water
hot; wash quickly, using small brush;
rinse in hot water and dry with clean
linen towel; then rub very dry with cha
mois skin. Washed in this manner, sill
yer becomes very brilliant, and requires no
polishing with any of the powders OF
whiting usually employed, and the silver
does not wear out

About one pound of copperas (sulphate
of iron,) at cost of few cents put into
a water-closet, will entirely deodorize it
five pounds in a bucket of water, thrown
down cesspool, will have the same effect
There is no unpleasant odor from it as
there is from chloride of lime or carbolic
acid. This is worth knowing.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1878-12-28

GLASS SToPPERs.-Sometimes the
ground-glas shoppers of bottles become
fixed in the neck, and cannot be removed
by pulling or twisting. An efcctual
method is to wrap rag wet with hot
water around the neck and let it remain a
few seconds The heat will expand the
neck of the bottle, when the stopper can
be removed before the heat penetrates the
stopper itself; or, wind a string once or
twice around the neck, and, combining
the bottle, pull alternately on one and then
the other end of the string, thus creating
friction, and, consequently, Eeat. Or a
little camphene dropped between the neck
and the stopper of the bottle will often re-
lieve the stopper.

For THE CURE OF NEURALGIA.-Take
two ounces of chloroform, two ounces of
chloral hydrate, one and one-half ounces
of alcohol, ounce of camphor, one ounce of
sulphuric ether, six grains of sulphate
morphine, and two drachms of oil of pep
per mint. Put the mixture into bottle
sufficiently large to hold it, cork it tightly.
shake it thoroughly, and battle the part
afflicted frequently. The above is intend
ed for outward application only.
