| "A SECRET WORTH KNOWING BY
HoUsE-KEEPERs.- - A sort OIL trade
secret among upholsters, it Is said, Is
this recipe for Kidding furniture of
moths: a set Of furniture that seemed
to be alive with the larvae, and from
which hundreds Of these pests had
been picked and brushed, was set into
room by itself. Three gallons Of ben
zine had been purchased, at thirty
cents gallon, retail. Using a small
watering pot, with a fine rose-sprinkler,
the whole upholstery was saturated
through and through with the benzine.
Result: every moth, larvae and egg was
killed. The benzine dried out in few
hours, and Its entire odor disappeared
In three or four days. Not the slightest
hahn happened to the varnish, or
fabric, or wood or hair stunlng. That was
months ago, and not a sign of moth
has since appeared. The carpets were
also we'll sprinklcd all around the sides
OF tie room, with equally good effect.
For furs, flannels, indeed all woolen
things containing moths Il benzine is
most valuable. Put them in box,
sprinkle them with bon.ine, close the
box tightly, and In day or two tho
pests will be exterminated, and the
benZine will all evapOrate on opening.
In using benzine great care should be
taken that no fire Is near by, as the
stuff, IN fluid or vapor form, is very in
tlammaDle.
CRATE finely rs much well-cooked
nam rs you are likely to require, flavor
1t with very little cayenne and some
nutmeg. Roll out some good puff
paste very thinly, cut it into two per-
t,lS Ia,
two places to prevent it rising too high,
and bake ina quick oven till Of golden
brown. Then take out and let it stand
till cool, then spread little fresh but
ter lightly over the whole. This should
not be done till the paste is perfectly
cool. Now spread the grated ham
evenly oyer the paste, lay the second
piece of putf-paste over it, and with
very sharp knife cut into small-sizcd
sandwiches. This Is charming sup
per dish.
FRUIT FOR SUMMER DIET.-Now
that the warm season Of the year is at
hand, 1t may be worth while to call the
attention of our readers to the fact that
If they wish to keep well, they should
add rs much fruit to their daily food as
possible. 1t will save DOCTORS bills
and, what Is more Important, much ILL.,
lleSS. VI course lhere are many who
cannot, or think they cannot, cat fruit.
The cause often Is Il spoiled stomach. In
such cases 1t takes time and care to
habituate the organ to this change, and
sometimes 1t cannot be done ut all.
Leaving out such cases we advise the
liberal use Of fruit from this time OH,
wherever 1t can be obtained.
MARROW DUMpLINGs.-TwOeg eggs, two
ounces beef marrow, come crumbs Of
bread, and tablespoonful of flour.
Beat the marrow to cream whisk the
eggs and add to the marrow. Well
soak the crumbs In boiling milk, beat
them up and add to the other ingre-
dicnts. Stir all well together, then
form into small dumplings. Drop
them into boiling broth and let them
simmer tor half an hour. Thoy mny
be served in soup or with roast meat.
BRoILED SALMON. - Slices from a
fresh salmon, well scaled. cleaned ard
wiped; two ounces Of butter, melted;
one teaspoontul Of flour; one saltspoon-
ful of salt. Melt the butter smoothly,
thicken 1t with flour, and the salt, and
roll the salmon we'll in it; make very
clear fire; take perfectly clean grid
iron, and broil carefully. Time, ten
minutes.
