do harm In the end.
HoUsEKEEPERs who have never tried
it will be surprised to see how large
pinch of salt in the water potatoes are
bold in will improve them old potatoes
may be made almost mealy and delicious
by this single process.
To SET CoLoRs IN LAWN DRESS. SO
set the colors In lawn dress, put it In a
pail of water and a tablespoonful of sugar
of lead. Let it steep an hour, then wash
it out of bran water; hang it in the shade
to dry.
LADY FINGERS. -Four ounces OF sugar,

PIcKLIEG BERRIES. -Heat the amount
of vinegar required, sweeten, then turn
in the berries, let heat through, then
turn into a Jar and set in cool place.
Simple, but I think they are much bet
ter than to spoil the berry flavor with
spices. One lady acquaintance, In can
ming berries, never heats her cans. Set
ting them on marble, she pours the
scalding fruit into them, and says she
never breaks can that way, as the cans
heat gradually from the bottom.
FAvoRrrE MEAT PE.-Take cold roast
beef or meat of any kind, slice it thin,
cut it rather small, lay it, wet with
gravy, and sufficiently peppered and
sailed, In meat pie dish. If liked, a
small onion may be chopped fine and
sprinkIed over it. Over the meat pour
q couple Of stewed tomatoes, little more
pepper, and a thick layer of mashed
potatoes. Bake slowly In a moderate
oven till the top is light brown.
FRUIT PEA simple thing to speak
of, but if all ladies have their pies :" run
out as have, they will not think
remedy so simple after all. For rasp-
berry, blackberry, juicy green apple,
etc. Spread the upper crust with butter,
then sprinkle thickly with sugar, then
put the -four under the berries, thenfour;
sprinkle with sugar again, and bake
slowly BY this means one can have the
goodness of the pie in the pie, instead of
the oven.
To Stew TOMATOES. ten large
tomatoes, put them into pan, and pour
scalding water over them to remove the
skins easily; peel them and cut out all
the hard or unripe portion; then cut
through and take out the seeds. Boil an
onion and mash it fine; add it to the
tomatoes, with pepper and salt to your
taste, and piece of butter as large as a
hens egg. Put them ON to stew in an
earthen pipkin, and let them simmer two /
hours. A quarter of an hour before I
dinner is ready add four or five table |
spoonfuls of grated bread, and let it stew /
till ready to serve.
DELMoMco PUDDNG.-One quart of .
sweet milk; the yolks of five eggs; three
of corn starch, mixed /
smooth in half teacupful'' of milk; tea
cupful of suffar and any favoring liked /

range and let thicken for two or three
