JsING EGGs.-In warm weather put

your eggs III OOlu "dCcI oom0 VAAO w
fore you are ready to use them.
To MAKE FLY PAPER.-Equal parts
of molasses and Venice turpentine melt
ed together and spread on paper.
SHRINK BAR SOAP In soap when
first cut should be cut in square pieces,
and put in dry place, 1t lasts better
after shrinking.
COLD WATER CAKE.-One. cup of
molasses; one cup of sugar; one of but
ter; one of cold water or buttermilk;
half teaspoon of soda; knead soft and
bake quick.
FRosTING.-Take the white of one egg
without beating and mix it stiff with
pulverized sugar; spread on the cake.
By the time you get it on, it will be
hard and glossy.
To REMOVE IRON RUST STAINs.-Soak
the stained parts in mixture of sulphur
ric acid one part. and water two parts,
having the mixture pretty hot; then
thoroughly wash in clean water.
To PREVENT STOVES RUsT1NG.-Oil
them with sweet oil. This does not
make bad smell when the stoves are
heated again. They should be very clean
when the oil is applied. Coal-scuttles
may be oiled with boiled linseed oil.
To PREPARE P1NEAPPLE.-Do not peel
it. Cut off the bottom. Insert a fork
over one of the lower "eyes," press
downwards, and thus pull off little
cone. The cones gradually torn off are
much softer than slices of the pine bitten
across the grain.
CHOCOLATE FILLING.-Melto ne-fourth
of cake of chocolate, with half cup
full of sugar, add beaten egg, and cook
on The stove in a small basin until as
thick as jelly, divide equally into as
many parts as you have cakes, and
while hot spread over them and lay
them one above the other.
DURABLE WHIrEwAsH.-The addition
of one pound sulphate of zinc in solution,
to a pail of whitewash, will improve the
color and prevent the wash from rubbing
of. Another way to make the wash
stick is to add to it small proportion
of glue, previously dissolved in hot
water. Fish glue, or isinglass, is the
best.
To MIX MUSTARD Mustard should
be mixed with warm water that has beer
boiled and allowed to cool, or else with
vinegar. Hot water destroys its essen
tial qualities, and raw cold water NIGH
cause it to ferment. Put the mustard
in cup with small pinch of salt, anc
mix with it very gradually suficien
boiling water to make it drop from thu
spoon without becoming watery.
A STRONG LIQUID GLUE.-A strong
liquid glue for repairing broken vessels
cementing glass, etc., is made, according
to NJ. Knaf, by taking three parts o
glue in small pieces, and placing then
in eight parts of water for some hours
when half a part of sulphate of zinc ar
added, and the whole kept at moder
ately high temperature for ten or twelv
hours. The glue thus treated retain
its liquid condition, and will not becom
gelatinous again.
To MAKE MILK YEAsT.-In an earth
en- vessel, as bowl or pitcher, holding
one quart, put one pint of milkwarn
water, one even teaspoonful of salt, ant
stir in -four enough to make it as THO
as ordinary pancake batter. Place th
dish in a kettle of milkwarm water, an,
keep it at as even temperature as posi-
BILE from four to six hours. After
rises, take four quarts of milkwarm wa
ter, mix it with as much -four, with tn
prepared yeast, as can be stirred handil
with spoon, let it stand an hour at tn
same heat as the yeast, then add fou
and knead into loaves. Let it stand i
a warm place until it rises, from ha
to an hour, then bake.
To CLEAN PAINT.-There is a yer
simple method to clean paint that hf
become dirty, and, if our housewife
should adopt it, it would save them
great deal of trouble. Provide pla
with some of the best whiting to be ha,
and have ready some clean warm wat
and piece of flannel, which dip in
the water and squeeze nearly dry the
take as much whiting as will adhere
it, apply it to the painted surface, wht
little rubbing will instantly reno
any dirt or grease. After which wa
the part we'll with clean water, rubin
it dry with soft channels. Paint tn
cleaned looks as we'll as when first la
on, without any injury to the most de
cate colors. 1t is far better than usil
soap, and does not require more th
half the time and labor.
A WASHING FLUID.-We have late
tried washing fluid which has prov
very successful in extracting the d
from cotton and linen, and the prop,
tions are such that they cannot init
