der, one cup of hickory nuts (choppedD,
one teaspoonful vanilla.
WALNUT CAKEs.-One pound of -four,
one pound of sugar, three-quarters of a
pound of butter, one and one-half
pounds of raisins, one nutmeg, SIX eggs,

walnuts before cracked; bake in a
quick oven.
OATMEAL BLANC NANCE. "A delicious
blanc mango may be made by stirring
two heaping teaspoonfuls fine oatmeal
into little cold water and then stirring
in a quart of boiling milk boil few
minutes flavor turn into molds when
cold eat with jelly or cream.
To CLEAN. HAIR BRUSHES. As hot
water and soap soon soften the hairs,
and rubbing completes their destruc-
ton, use soda dissolved In cold water.
Soda, having an affinity for grease,
cleans the brush with very little friction.
After well shaking them, stand them on
the points of the handles In shady
place.
INDIAN MEAL PUDDING. pint of
Indian meal cooked, one quart OF milk,
half cup of butter, one pint Of molas-
SEES, four eggs, with little cinnamon or
nutmeg; boil the milk, stir in gradually
the meal, mix all together and let it
stand two hours, add the eggs when the
pudding is ready to put in the oven ; let
it bake two hours.
SUPERIOR SPONGE CAKE.-One pound

rind of q lemon, grated, with the juice.
Beat the yelks very light and mix them
well with the sugar add the lemon;
beat them well together; add the whites,
beaten stiff; shake the -four IN very
gently-should not be stirred when the
-four is well mixed If in one pan, two
hours, If In two pans, one and q half
hours.
To FREsHEN PAINT-Tea leaves may
be saved from the table for few days,
and, when sufficient are collected, steep,
and not boil, them for half an hour in
tin pan strain the water off through
sieve, and use this tea to wash all var
nished paint. It removes spots, and
gives fesher, newer appearance than
when soap and water are used. For
white paint, take up small quantity of
whiting on damp piece of old white
flannel, and rub over the surface lightly,
and it will leave the paint remarkably
bright and new.
To Boil A HAM.-Scrape and wash
carefully in plenty of cold water. Put
it to cook In boiling water enough to
cover it entirely, hook end up; let it re-
main on the front of the stove till the
ham begins to boil then put it back
and let it simmer steadily for three
hours. Take it off the fire, and let the
ham remain in the water it is boiled In
till cool enough to handle; then skin it;
put in baking pan, and sprinkle with
about three ounces of brown sugar run
your pan in hot oven, and let it remain
a half hour, or until the sugar has formed
brown crust. This not only improves
the flavor of the ham, but preserves its
Juices.
LIVE out of doors as much as you can.
1t is the place for man to be. It is
good for the health. A distinguished
physician was in the habit of saying
However bad the air may be out of
doors, it is always worse in the house"
It is good for the temper. People who
are always shut up in house are apt to
grow fretful and peevish. They are
prone to acquire narrow views of things,
and to worry over trials not worth con-
sidering. It is good for the whole char
acter-for strength, hope, patience and
fortitude. It expands and softens ones
nature and makes one more charitable.
To REMOVE iron rust or ink spots:
Moisten the spot and apply salts of
lemon until it disappears, and rinse
well. Salts of lemon are made of equal
parts of oxalic and tartaric acid, and any
person can make them for his own use.
Another way is to moisten with lemon
juice, sprinkle ON salt, and lay in the
sun. Ii ink is spilled on colored goods
that will not bear acids, soak them i'm
mediately in sweet milk, boiling hot.
Hot melted tallow poured through ink
stains will remove them.
TIE best substance to preserve pol
ished steel from rust is pure parafine.
The steel should be warmed sufficiently
to melt the paraffine, which should, how
ever, be already in melted condition.
Lay the parafine on with brush Or rag,
and wipe it carefully off with very
warm and dry rag. The thin coat Of
parafine left adhering to the metal after
this process Will not be perceptible to
the eye. Being solid, it does not leave
the greasy feeling that remains when oil
or tallow is used. It does not affect In
the slightest degree the color Of the OBJ
ject, and we think it would prove excel
lent for the protection of fine gun bar
rel from the action of damp and saline
atmosphere.
BEANS AS FooD FOR STooK. -Chemi-
cal analysis and observation in feeding
alike show the large amount of nutri-
ment contained in beans. There is no
more valuable food for forming muscle
than beans. liz the production of fat
they are greatly inferior to corn and the
small grains, but they are superior to
them in the production of flesh. ALI
young animals are benefited by an oc-
casional ration of beans. Sheep are as
fond of beans as boys are of watermel-
ons, but they are not relished by most
domestic animals when they are first
given them to eat. Many animals need
to be educated to eat beans, but, after
short time, they will acquire q taste fox
them. Hogs, cows and fowls will ac-
luire taste for beans as readily as hui
man beings will for tomatoes, celery and
ripe figs. If beans are ground with corn
