Household ETints and Recipes.

Whole cloves are now used to eXter-
inmate the merciless and industrious
moth. 1t is said that they are more
effectual as a destroying agent than
either tobacco, camphor or cedar shay
ings.
Leather chair-seats may be revived by
rubbing them with well-beaten white OF
egg. Leather bindings OF books may
also be cleansed by this method. White
Roman bindings should be washed with
a soft flannel saturated in soapsuds.
To make corn bread, take two cups of
Indian meal. one teaspoonful of salt, two
teaspoonsful of baking powder, one cup
of molasses, one quart of sweet milk, two
eggs; stir with wheat flour about as stiff
as for cake and bake in a deep dish.
An appetizing way to warm over pota-
toes is to heat them in a saucepan con-
tanning coffee cupfui of beef stock, well
seasoned with salt, pepper and little
parsley which has first been Drowned in
butter; cut the potatoes in thin slices and
let them cook slowly until they are
saturated with the gravy or liquor.
A very nice way to cook mackerel for
breakfast is, after freshening it, TO boil
it for ten minutes, take it out of the
water, drain it, remove the backbone,
then pour over the fish gravy made of
milk thickened with -four and with
lump of butter added. The gravy is just
like that which you make for milk
toast.
Very tender asparagus makes a de-
licious garnish. Pour boiling water
over it, and let it lie in the water for
three Or four minutes, then dip each
piece into little batter, and fry in but
ter, or you may fry it in butter without
dipping it into batter; scatter pepper
and salt over it and place around the
meat or game on the platter.
To make rhubarb jelly, take some
rhubarb, wipe it with a clean wet cloth,
peel it and cut it into pieces an inch long.
70 each pound of rhubarb add three
quarters Of pound of white sugar. Put
it to boil for about ten minutes, or until
the juice is well drawn. Strain it into a
preserving pan, let it boil quickly until
it clings to the spoon, skim it and put it
into jam pots or molds. The quickest
way to know if it will set is to drop a
little on to plate to cool.

A Mathematical Wonder.

A remarkable instance of rapid mental
calculation has been discovered in a
young Polish boy named Paul Zilzisky,
living in Fast Bridgeport, Conn. He
has low forehead, with hair growing
down to his eyebrows, is rather sleepy
looking and stumbling in his move
ments. But whenever his father asks
him question relative to numbers he at
once brightens up and becomes excited.
A reporter found him in grocery store
in East Bridgeport, and asked his father,
who was with him, if it was true that
his son was lightning calculator
Mr.. Zilzisky, who speaks poor Eng
lish, and who is now poor man,
having lost much of his earnings by the
late Frary & Son cutlery failure, said in
answer: ''Paul, how many beans are there
in this handful?" The boy at once com
menced to dance around the store, and
became greatly excited as the father
thrust his hand into a barrel of beans,
took handful, and threw them down in
a corner, where they lay scattered about
The lad leaped into the air, and almost
before the beans had touched the floor
shouted "1769." The beans were care
fully gathered and counted, and while
this was being done the boy grinned and
waited. The result showed him to be
correct to bean. He relapsed into his
usual sleepy manner again. The father
then seized a handful of oats and
threw them in heap upon the counter
"Paul, said he, Chow many oats2" The
boy again jumped to his feet, devoured
the oats mentally, and instantly shouted
"283O" 1t took long time to count
them, but the number was again found
to be correct. Next the father seized a
half-filled pail of water and asked the
boy, GLOW many cubic inches of water
in the pail?" The boy sized it up with
his eyes, and quickly shouted: '416."
A careful computation proved the result
to be right. Other wonderful answers
were given, always in an excited manner,
and no comparison Of his manner at this
time seems to be as apt as that of the ex-
element Of dog when "set on" by his
master At each and every successful
answer the same doleful expression re-
turned. -BOStO1a HeraIl.
