an oval they are done. While the mid
die Of the pie remains depressed and
sunken they are not done.
-Pommes au Beurre: Peel and core
a number of apples, lay them in a bak-
ing-tin plentifully buttered, fill the core
Of each apple with brown sugar and a
small piece of butter, and put the tin in
a slow over till the apples are a good
color and quite done. They should he
occasionally basted with the butter dur
ing the process of cooking, and the core
should be filed a second time with
sugar, and they may have a slight
sprinkling of powdered cloves or CHINA
mon, according to tasse.
Lemon Pie: Two lemons, six eggs,
two t~eacupfuls of sugar, two tablespoon
fuls of flour, one teacupful boiling wa

apples; her cut them across in slices
rather less than half an inch thick; put
them in a fiat dish with half n tumbler

Miscellaneous.
To keep stove-pipe from rusting,
brush it over with kerosene.

four gallons of water, poured into sink
a few times, completely destroys often
sive odor.
-Roaches: Patience and persever-
ance are required To get rid of this YER
min, when it once takes up its abode in
a house. Insect powder and borax are
specific poisons to drive them away.

man beings, will kill them when sprin-
kled on their bodies.
Cement for kerosene lamps: Three
parts resin, one of caustic soda, and
five of water. Mix this composition
with half its weight of plaster-of-Paris.

not to have this defect.

fects- The moisture produced upon
