TO CORN REEE.

Put into cask twelve gallons of water,
twelve quarts of salt, and one pound of salt
petre; stir until all is dissolved. Salt your
meat, rubbing it well, and lay it in a sepa-
rate tub, taking particular care always to
have the skin side down. Let it lie thus for
ten days, and then put into the brine (still
with the skin side down. Let it lie thus for
ten days, and then put into the brine (still
with the skin side DOWN., weighing it down
with boards and large clean stone. This
brine will keep from November till March.
Meat may be added from time to time, al
ways taking care to have salt rubbed over it,
and the blood drained off.
STRAWBERRY JELLY.
Soak box of gelatine in cold water, say
one pint. When thoroughly softened, add
five ounces of white sugar, two quarts Of
strawberry syrup, and put over the fire until
the gelatine is perfectly dissolved. Pour
from the kettle into moulds or small jars,
and you have a most beautiful and pleasant
ly favored jelly. This recipe is meant for
cool weather; if used in Summer reduce the
quantity of syrup by one-half.
SODA FOR WASHING.
The very common use of soda for washing
linen is very injurious to the tissue, and i'm
parts to it yellow color. In Germany and
Belgium the following mixture is now ex-
of soap are dissolved in about five gallons of
water as hot as the hand can bear it; then
next is added to this fluid three large-siZed
tablespoonful of liquid ammonia and one
spoonful of the best oil of turpentine. These
fluids are incorporated rapidly by means of
beating them together with small birch
broom. The linen is then soaked in this
liquid for three hours, care being taken to
cover the washing-tub by closely fitting
wooden cover. BY this means the linen is
thoroughly cleansed, saving much rubbing,
time and fuel.
STRAWBERRY sHORTCAKE.
One egg, half dinner (hot breakfast) cof-
fee cupful of sugar, and a quart cupful of
sweet milk or cream; if milk, piece of but
ter as large as a walnut, with heaping
tea-spconful of baking powder, and sifted
flour sufficient to make batter thin,
but not running. This will make two
cakes in common-sized pie't Have ready
stemmed and layered in sugar since morn
ing-if for dinner-two quarts of soft ripe
berries. Split the cake with fork (run the
sharp point of a knife round the edge first
while hot; dip the berries out of the juice,
and place ON the bottom crust; thenS drop
pieces of butter on the berries, sprinkle with
sugar, place on the top crust, and set in the
oven few moments to melt the butter.
Turn the juice into tin, place on the stove
to boil, making syrup OF it to come on the
table as sauce for the cake when served.
The cake should be timed so as to bring it
on the table from the oven just as the fami-
ly are sitting down to dinner, or a little af-
ter, in order to eat it warm and crisp. Ev-
erybody whom have known to taste this
mode OF making calls it delicious.

The Herb Garden.

Many people have the idea that a finely
favored dish must cost a great deal; that is
a mistake; if you had untainted meat, or
sound vegetables, or even Indian meal to be-
gin with, you can make it delicious with
proper seasoning. One reason why French
cooking is much nicer than any other is
that it is seasoned with great variety of
herbs and spices; these cost very little
if you would buy few cents worth at a
time you would soon have good assort-
ment. The best kinds are sage, thyme,
sage, sweet majoram, tarragon, mint, sweet
basil, parsley. bay leaves, mace, celery seed
and onions. If you will plant the seed of
any of these seven first mentioned in little
boxes on your window sill or in a sunny
spot in the yard, you can generally raise all
you need. Gather and dry them as follows
parsley and tarragon should be gathered and
dried in June and July, just before flower
ing; mint in June and July; thyme, major
am and savory in July and August; basil
and sage in August and September. All herbs
should be gatheredin the sunshine and dried
by artificial heat; their flavor is best pre-
served by keeping them in air tight tin cans,
or in tightly corked glass bottles.

Wash for Fruit Trees.

A correspondent Of the Fruit Recorder
writes as follows: 81 notice in recent
issue a number of recipes for killing the
coddling moth. l have tried various rene
dies on my orchard, some of which have
been suggested by scientific men. will
now give you my experience with them.
Ny orchard consisted of trees ranging from
one to fifty years of age, and find the cod
ling moth ready for attack at any age. Last
year, when pruning, made wash of my
own, and tried it with good results. The
following ingredients compose the wash:
One quart of lime, such as is used by the
plasters in "whitecoating;" one peck of
leached wood ashes, two pecks of cow ma
nure. one quart of soft soap, and one large
tablespoonful of Paris green. wet the
mixture thoroughly, to make it like paste,
beating it thoroughly until it became tough.
l added twelve quarts of water, or enough
to give the trees another coating. 1 find,
on the old trees so washed the old bark is
dropping off and leaving the new bark per-
fectly smooth. On all the trees l have
washed see perfect improvement"

AT Booths theatre yesterday afternoon a
reporter found Mile. Bernhard and two or
three women and men walking up and down
the stage in the dark. One of the women
shot out of the main door, popped in again,
and said something to Mile Bernhard that
caused her to faint and fall into the arms of
one of the men. Apparently she was dis.
pleased with the manner of her own fainting,
for she directed the man TO stand in ore part
of the stage and then in others, and placing
herself near him, she tainted and fell into
his arms six times in rapid succession. She
did this by fist facing the man, then sudden
ly twirlng on one heel and falling backward
against his left arm; which il was his duty to
pat cut at the proper instant She was re-
hearsing in"Frou Frou" Again she spent
the entire day on the stage, talking, laughing
crying, gesticulsting, falling down, throwing
herself in chairs and lounges, and at time.
playing bits of every part in the play. She
felt so much at ease that she sat on the stage
carpet with her feet straight out before her,
or with her hands clssped over one knee, and
every now and then she sprspg to her feet to
see about light, scene, bit of furniture,
or an imperfect recitation. She wore q
plain black silk dress, drab cloth sacque,
