HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

! CURE FOR WASP STINGs.-Cut a fresh
| onion, scrape the juice and put it on the
| sting. 1t is sure and speedy cure.
REST is as essential to the stomach and
| other organs of digestion and assimilation
as it is TO the limbs. OverWork of the
stomach induces dyspepsia.
MIXED SPICEs.-Two ounce. each Of
| cinnamon, allspice, cloves and coriander
seed, u ounce of nutmeg, u ounce of GIN
| ger, ali finely powdered and mixed. They
| should be bottled and kept tightly cOrked
! to preserve the strength.
YOUNG ONION SOUP.-PeeI and blanch
your onions carefully; cook them in a lit
| tie fresh butter until good brown color,
! put them into your stock with pinch Of
! black pepper; when boiling clear the soup
| of all grease and pour into the soup tureen
| over slices of fried bread.
| To KEEP WORMS FROM DRIED FRUIT
| Place your fruit in a steamer over a pot
| Of boiling water, covered tightly. When
| thoroughly heated tie them Immediately
! in clean linen or cotton bag and hang
them up: This method is preferable to
| heating in an oven, as that is apt to rem
| der them hard, even if you are so fortu-
nate as not to burn them.
| IMPROVISATION of the atmosphere of a
| sick chamber when the patient is i'll of
| diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever, or of
| any allied disease, with the odor of
mixture of equal parts Of turpentine and
| carbolic acid, is recommended by DR.. vi
Lind. Half teGspOOnful of the mixture

| the sufferer and tends to prevent the
| spread of the malady.

| yellOws of eight eggs beaten separately.
| To the yellows add l q pint Of loaf sugar,
| q pound of butter, creamed into the yell
| lows and sugar, and two tablespoOnfuls of
| cinnamon added with the whites. Put the
mixture in tin pan, set 1t on the stove
| and stir until it becomes hot throughout.
| Make very light pastry, put into pie
| pans and cook little before the mixture
| is put on them. Then set the buildings in
| the stove until light brown.
QUEEN OF PUDDINGs,-Beat together
| the yOlks of four eggs, one teacup of brown
| sugar and grated rind of a lemon; stir
this into one pint of grated bread crumbs,
| and over the whole pour quart of boiling
milk. Put this in pudding dish and bake
light brown. When quite cold spread
over the pudding a thick layer of cuTrant
| Jelly, plum jelly, raspberry jelly or some
thing of the kind. Then cover the whole
! with merangue made of the whites of
the eggs, four teaspoontuls Of white sugar
and the juice of the lemon. Set in the
stove and bake light brown; serve cold
| with cream.
! COCOANUT TARTs.-Line small tins
with a nice light crust and fill with this
| mixture. Dissolve a quarter of pound
| of sugar in a little water, add as much
grated cOcoanut as you can stir in and
have well mixed with the sugar. Let this
simmer slowly tor a few minutes; then
when it cOols add the yelks of two eggs.

quick oven. Cover the top with a me-
| raDgue made of the whites of the eggs
| and two tablespoonfuls Of powdered su-
| gar; brown in the oven. If preferred, the
whites and yolks may be put in with the
Cocoanut and sugar.
For ROUGH-AND-READY FILTER
make partition across a small wine bar
rel, from which the head has been re-
moved, by means of circular piece of
wire gauze supported upon light frame
of wood and fitted across the barrel with
few French nails. Sift upon the gauze
some clean silver sand to the depth of from
two to three inches; then place on the
sand some small charcoal from which the
dust has been sifted away previously. A
two-inch layer of the sand above this and
about an equal thickness of clear, sharp
gravel on the top, completes the filtering
arrangement. The barrel may then be
filled up with water and the purified fluid
