FLAyoRfNa SyRUPs AND f'RrIT JUICES
In making syrups simply express the
iuice bv squeezing the ripe fruit IN som;
porous though strong cloth; linen tow
cling is an excellent thing for thls
purpose; this requires some strength
and it is best to prepare small portions
at time; TO every pint OF juice thus
obtained a,h two ponnds OF the bes'
white sugar. aud dissolve by gentle
heat: strain through flannel while hot
and bottle. The best receptacles foi
sirups are demijohns or TASKS, wrapped
in wicker-work. Light affects the col
or, and perhaps makes some othel
chemical changes, injuring the taste
they should he kept in AS cool place
as possible. After the above foImuli
syrups have been kept the whole sum
mer, and are useful for variety OF pur'
roses. In fiavoring ice cream no more
sugar is needed than that contained IN
the syrup.
To REMOVE SPECK OR AN EYELAsH
FROM TIE EYB.-This, We all know, re-
quires the aid of a looking-glass or the
kindly haud of friend, whether In oI
out of the house; but there are times
when neither of these helps are near;
SO Nature has provided that, if We will
use her appliances, she will assist us,
and with little practice it will be found
the best and quickest in the end. The
upper and lower eyelashes are given us
as protection to the eyes, but they
also serve as little brushes when an ac-
cident happens. By taking the upper
eyelashes between the thumb and fin
ger, and drawing the Ind completely
over the under lashes, and gently mov-
ing backward and forward, any specks
in the eye fasten on to the lower fringe,
and remain there after having let go the
upper. This is sure plan and can be
adopted anywhere; but it requires some
perseverance to acquire IT, and should
not he given up if the first attempts are
unsuccessful. Any disag reesble feeling
about it is not half so painful or danger
Gus as is occasioned by the smallest
speck.
APRICOT ToAsT.-Take some ripe (bdt
lot over-ripe) apricots; halve and stone
them. Make some syrup with plenty
of white sugar and water; when boiled
for couple Of hours, strain, lay the
pieces Of apricot III the syrup, and add
glass of white wine; simmer for few
minutes. Cut out of the crumb OF a
milk loaf some rounds a little larger
than the apricots. Fry them pale
yellow In fresh butter, drain. and ar
range them in a circle on dish, with Il
piece Of apricot on each round, concave
side uppermost; pu: kernel in the
centre OF each, pour the syrup well
over, and serve with some whipped
cream IL the centre OF the dish.
For a simple and good pudding take
two cups of finely grated bread crumbs,
Fix apples or half can of canned APP
pies. four eggs, one cup of sugar, little
grated nutmeg, and a little grated lemon
peel; steam this in pudding dish for
an hour and half, having first moist
ened the bread crumbs with warm water;
serve with sauce Of sweetened cream,
or -four, butter and sugar, mixed in the
proportion of two spoonfuls of -four to
one Of butter and two Of sugar; beat
these together, and add boiling water
until the sauce is OF the proper thick
ness: flavor with nutmeg and lemon.
CoLD PIE FOR PrCNIc.-BOll chloken IL
or rabbit and cut the flesh as thin as
possible. Then boil two ouncts Of
macaroni, the same quantity of ParmC-
san cheese, grated, "a little finely -chopp-
Ell parsley, half pint of cream, some
pepper and salt. Line a basin with q
good paste sprinkled with vermicelli,
bake an hour, and serve with or WITH
out brown sauce. Cold poultry or
game may be used instead OF something
purposely cooked
LITTLE CAKES FOE LUNCH.-Two
quarts of -four, two cupiuls of sugar the
yolks of six eggs and one dessert-spoon-
full of soda dissolved In tablespoonful
of salt. To be favored with mace. cir
namon or nutmeg and cut into little
shapes. Bake on fiat tins.
CoUGH TBooHEs.-One ounce SPAN, h
licorice, two ounces refined sugar, two
ounces of finely powdered gum arabic,
and extract of opium one scruple. Beat
the whole together. make into small
troches; to be dissolved i'll the mouth
when the cough is Troublesome.
NEVER ht m braize or tissue veil with
sewing silk. Take some of the ravelings
of the material, thread coarse needle
with it. and hem the We |. The stitches
Will not show at all ii small ones are
taken.
RoAsr paI tridges are Lice served W tn
bread crumbs fried brown in butter,
with cranberry or currant Jelly lai1 be-
side them in the platter.
HEAT the bread knife very hot when
about to cut new bread: this Will pre-
vent the breads crumbling.
A GRAIN or two of salt sruffed up II to
the nose, when that useful organ is
stopped up" viii afford relief.
