How TO CURE DAMP AND M1LDEw.
In damp closets and cupboards gen.
Grating mildew, trsyful Of quicklime
will be found to absorb the moisture and
render the air pure-of course it is
necessary to renew the lime from time
to time as it becomes fully slaked. This
remedy will be found useful in safes and
strong rooms, the damp air of which
acts frequently most injuriously on the
valuable deeds and documents which
they contain.
The WASHING OF FLANNEL AND
WOODEN GOoDs.-Use borax-a large
tablespoonful in pint of water; put
some of this into the tepid water in
which the flannel is to be washed.
From time to time add some more of the
borax solution; rinse every piece in tepid
water, shake it we'll, and hang it up
where it can dry quickly. Therefore it
is best to wash fannels only when the
air is dry. Add little salt to the water
in which they are rinsed the last time.
BAKED MACARONI.-Break up cup
OF macaroni in pieces or 2 inches long;
after washing it in cold water, add 2
cups of milk in tin dish and set it in q
kettle of boiling water to soak for an
hour; add a teaspoonful of butter and
pour it in your serving dish; then add
still more mix if needful to cover it
set it in hot oven and let it just come
to a boil and serve hot.
Potato PUFFs.-Take mashed pota-
toes and make them into q paste, with
| or 2 eggs; roll it out with dust of
flour and cut round with a saucer; have
ready some cold roast meat (any kindly,
free from gristle and chopped fine, sea-
soned with salt, pepper, thyme or
pickles cut up fine; place them on the
potato and fold it over like puff, pinch
or nick it neatly around and bake for q
few minutes.
COATING FOR WOODwORK.-Good
lime, slaked with sour milk, and diluted
with water till it is of about the con-
sistency of ordinary whitewash, is rec
commended as an excellent coating for
woodwork. Fences, rafters, partitions,
etc, are, it is said, effectually protect
ed against the weather for at least 10
years by this application. The casein
of the milk in combination with the
lime forms q permanent film, which
dries so quickly in warm weather that
5eavy rains falling directly after it has
been laid on will scarcely affect the
work.
CNUAISd NdEESE CAkES.-1a axe
quarts of new milk; set it as for cheese
and slowly whey it; then break it in a
mortar; put to it the yelks of and the
whites OF 2 eggs: sweeten to taste; add
some nutmeg and rose water; mix the
whole together; set pint of cream over
the fire, and make it into a hasty pud-
ding; mix all the Ingredients well to-
gether; fill your patty-pans; put them
Immediately into the oven; when they
rise well up they are done.
To REMOVE FREcKLEs.-1. 1 sunce
of alum, same of lemon juice in pint
of rose water; apply at night. 2. Scrape
horse-radish into q cup of sour milk
(cold), let it stand IL hours; strain and
apply two or three times day. 8. Mix
lemon-juice ounce, powdered borax 1
dram, sugar 4 dram; keep for a few
days in glass bottle and apply occa-
4. Muriate of ammonia !
dram, lavender water 2 drains, distilled |
water pint; apply two or three times
q day. 5. Into pint of milk squeeze
the juice of lemon, with q spoonful of |
brandy, and boil, skimming well; add
q dram of rock alum; apply at night.
The above are all good and have been
used effectually, though nothing will
take freckles off permanently.
