"A correspondent of the Gardener,
Chronicle says that pulverized fresh lime
will effectually drive earthworms from
lawns. The lime also kills moss.

Mix the lime with twice its bulk of fine

-Spirals.-Two eggs beaten quite
light, sufficient flour stirred in to make
the mixture very stiff; add a pinch Of
salt and stir again; then roll out quite
thin, cut strips about two inches wide
and four long, and roll round the fingers
as if curling hair. Fry in batter till of
delicate golden shade, and sprinkle
powdered sugar just before serving.

eggs; bake in layers; for filing, adds
little water to one cup of white sugar:

One of the best ways to cook black
bass, that favorite fish with so many
people, is to broil it. You need a wire
gridiron with a long handle, so that you
can hold it over the Goals and not let the
edges get scorched or blacked. Serve
with lemon sliced on the platter. When
baking whitefish do not let it lie on the
bottom of the dripping-pan; put a tin
plate under the fish in such way that
the oil will drip off into the pan. The
fish will be less greasy and the dressing
will not absorb so much of the fat.
Peach Butter Pudding.-Pare some
ripe and soft peaches, leaving whole.

After keeping house a year I ven-

she used for mop, and found to my
dismay that it was a question open to
much discussion. After various expert
ments 1 find that the best material is old
knit wrappers, cut in convenient strips.
1t is best not to make the mop very
large, as it is then so heavy when wet
that it is burdensome, and although you
would get along faster you would be
more tired and very likely strain your
hands in wringing it. Have as little
space left to mop as possible; carpet
just as much of your kitchen floor as is
consistent with perfect neatness, or bet
ter still, one oilcloth-it is so much more
easily cleaned; grease does not sink in
to it to render you desperate. The hap
py law of compensation may hold good
here, but do not see in what way, COM
mensurate with the expenditure of time
and strength, a woman can be repaid or
have it made good to her for having
scrubbed away SO many of the hours Of
her youth and middle age. There is
something hopeless about it; after eve-
rything else is done there is always the
kitchen floor to clean; it is dangerous to
dwell upon; it needs, as Mr.. Emerson
says, ''all the force of an idea" to lift
the load from off your mind.-N. Y.
