with q smile. "I can be spared now
the work Is DONE"
Miss Bellue heard the news the same
hour. A housemaid to whom she had
done some little kindness ran off to the
rectory to tell her. Miss Bellue gave
an order or two and went straight to
her fathers study.
Papa, Mat is stricken now"
"Bless my soul!" said the Rector, in
great excitement. "Poor lad-poor
ladi"
81 have told Jenkins to put the
horses to the brougham and the house
keeper to get the green bedroom
"EhP" said the old gentleman look

But-but''-
4" He shall not DO left to the nursing
Of those ignorant servants" she insist.
ed resolutely. "He shall be brought
here or I will assuredly 60 to him."
The Rector had yielded to her all her
life. He shook his head in sore per-
plexity.
"Are you not afraid, dearp"
A peculiar smile lighted her pale,
beautiful countenance.
"Not now"
A similar question was almost the first
one put by Mat in q convalescent state.
"Were you not afraid, darling?"
"Perfect love casteth out fear" she
rejoined, softly.

HOME INTERESTS.

TAPIOcA MERINGUE.-2 cups of tapi-
oca; soak in milk or water overnight;
in the morning put it on to boil, adding
little milk at time until it becomes
OF the consistency of cream; add yelks
OF eggs; sweeton to taste; flavor deli
cately when cold cover with a meringue
of the whites of the eggs.
SCorCH SHORT BREAD.-4 pounds
flour, 2 pounds Shortening (half lard
and half buttor). egg, and as much
milk as would fill an cgg-shell; beat
well together, and add to the flour and
butter, with pound fine sugar; then
with your hands work the whole until it
is soft enough to roll out on your baking
board about half an inch thick; cut in
to any form you may wish; pinch the
bdgc with your finger and thumb and
cake.
To DESTROY INSECTS ON PLANTS.
Take of quassia chips 81 ounces, lark
spur-seed 5 drains; boil these together
in pints water until the decoction is
reduced to pints. When the liquid is
cooled it is to DO strained, and used with
q watoring-pot or syringe, as may be
most convenient. This is most excel
lent method of destroying insects on
plants, without injury to the latter. It
is recommended by the highest author
tiles.
To KEEP BEEF sTEAKS.-Have the
steaks cut about the usual thickness.
Mix together some salt, sugar, and some
finely powdered saltpeter. In an earth.
en- jar lay steak, and sprinkle it with
this mixture; put on another, and
sprinkle tho same as before, and over
all turn plate with q heavy weight on
it. This will form brine of its own,
and the moat will keep sweet in this
way for long time. You can take it
out to boil in the usual way. This is a
very good receipt for people who live
away from cities. Do not let it freeze.
CLEANING A BRUSSELS CARpET.-As
she season is now approaching when
carpets must be handled, the following
will prove of interest: First have the
carpet well shaken, then tack it down
in the room where it is to remain sweep
it as thoroughly as possible; take pail
of hot water, put in tablespoonful of
pulverized borax; wash the carpet all
over the surface, using q flannel cloth. |
For grease-spots or very dirty places,
use scrub-brush freely and a very little |
soap, taking care to rinse the soap off |
well after scrubbing; change the water |
quite often; rub the carpet we'll with
dry cloth after washing, and open doors
and windows 90 as to dry the carpet as
quickly as possible.
