celery or lettuce. Save the tender ends
and greens, and II you dine at night
place these in water to give the songsters
for their morning reireshunent.

Dried fruit can easily be preserved
from worms, which are the larvae of flies
or moths, or both, by packing them in
paper bags or cotton grain bags, and
tying them up closely. The bags should
be kept in dry, airy, well-lighted
roems It is a common error to believe
that flies and moths will not 90 into
dark rooms. Moths are nearly all night
flying insects and would rather work in
dark rooms than light ones. If the win
dows of the store-room are opened for
airing they should be protected by fine
wire gauze. III ~
! For snow-pudding cover one-third
of package, of gelatine with . little cold
water and, when sbftened, stir into a
pint of boiling water. Add one cupful
of sugar and the juice of two lemons.
When cold and beginning to thicken
add the well-beaten whites Of three eggs.
Beat all smoothly and lightly together,
pour the mixture into q mold and set it
away until hard. Serve in the center
of a platter, with boiled custard poured
around, made with, the yelks of three
eggs, one pint of milk and half a cupful
of sugar. sV
Miss Corson recommends buildings
as being good substitutes for, pies, and
believes them to be as a rule more easily
digested. A chocolate pudding is very
easily made. Proceed as if you were to
make a common custard pudding, and
just before taking it from the fire add
enough grated chocolate to color and
flavor it; pour it into cups to cool; first
wet the cups in cold water. When din
ner is ready turn from the cups or
saucers and serve with cream; the
cream may be sweetened and favored
with vanilla.
"A Good and Cheap Whitewash.-
Few people know how easily whitewash
is made and how valuable it is when
properly applied. 1t not only prevents
the decay Of wood, but is greatly con-
ducive to the healthfulness of buildings,
whether wood or stone. Out-buildings
and fences, when not painted, should be
supplied once or twice q year with a good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-.
pared in the following way: Take a.
clean, water-tight barrel, or other suita-
BILE cask, and put into it about half a
bushel of lime; slack it by pouring wa
ter over it boiling hot, and put in. a suf-
ficient quantity of water to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till thor
oughly slackened: when the slackening
has been thoroughly effected dissolve it
in water and add two pounds of sulphate
of zinc and common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden and prevent
cracking, which givesian unseemly ap-
pearance to the work. If desirable a
beautiful cream color may be given to
the above by adding three pounds of
yellow ocher, or sagood pearl by lead.
lamp, vine or ivy black. For fawn col
or add four pounds of umber, Turkish
or American-the latteris the cheapest
one pound of Indian red, one pound
of common lampblack.
