Ashes for Currant Bushes.

Mr.. w. II. Earl, of Worcester, Mass,
has used coal ashes Tor mulching his
currant bushes for several years past with
very excellent results. The ashes keep
the weeds from growing, and thus save
some labor with the hoe, but the greatest
benefit is due to Their influence in keep.
ing off the currant worm, which is often
so destructive to this fruit. Whether
the presence of the ashes is particularly
disagreeable to the worms or whether it
affords them no suitable place for passing
through the proper stage may be an
open question. 1t is understood that
the worms usually pass through their
transformations Immediately beneath the
bushes which they have dcfoliated, and
that if the surface Of the earth is cleaned
up with q hoe or stiff broom, and the
collection of leaves aud other loose
material burned or deeply buried the
worms will be destroyed. Broods of
chickens encouraged to scratch under
the bushes will prove beneficial by de-
stroying the insects in their pupa cases.
but coal ashes, where they can be had,
are as simple a preventive as anything.
An attache Of the New York experiment
station in a letter to the RWul Mao
Yorker indorses the coal ashes method.
He says: ga plat of bushes mulched
with this material in the spring of 1884,
on which no insccticide application has
been made this year, suffered less from
worms than an unmulched plat that had
been severa.. times treated with helie-
bore" The treatment is equally eff
fcacious for goosebcrries.

Queer JeWelry.

A San Francisco paper says that o
modeler of statuary has a set of cuff and
shirt studs made of Chinese fnger.nails,
set in gold. He points with pride at his
exclusive possessions, which are made of
a Chinaman's tinger-naii, which was four
inches long when cut. The nail in the
studs presents a shiny appearance, and
is susceptible to changes in the weather.
Their owner claims that they were sue
cessfully used by him as a weather ba-
rometer when he first got them, but their
usefulness in this direction had been lost
through age. The question of whether
Chinese fnger-nails will come into gen.
eral use as articles OF jewelry is n
which interests shell and precious stone
dealers. The Chinese Judge their gentle
men as Americans do their i%dlers-by
their long inger-nails. A reporter has
seen among the heirlooms CT a heavy
weight merchant in Chinatown o nail
which attained the great length of thir-
teen inches, and the Chinaman's grand
father was reported by the merchant to
have raised n eighteen inches long on
the index finger of his left hand. The
merchant at that time said there was
nothing wonderful about that, as he
knew a Chinese priest who had a nail on
the little finger of his left hand which
was sixteen feet and some inches in
length, and the priest was then but six
ty.eight years of age.

Recipes

SCOTCH CAKE.-Stir to a cream M
pound of graduated sugar and three
quarters of q pound of butter; separate
the whites and yolks of nine eggs and
beat them to a froth and stir in; add
one pound of sifted flour, the juice and
grated rind of a lemon, one pound OF
stoned ~raisins. Bake a little more.than
one hour in a large tin with a hole in the
middle.
RICE TOAST WITH PoACHED EGG.-
Boil the rice the night before it is used;
put it in a bread loaf pan and keep On
ice; the next morning cut it in slices,
brush a little melted butter over the
broiler and the sliced rice, and broil, or
rather toast before the fire. When done,
butter the slices, place on each a poached
egg, spot the top Of the egg with a little
black pepper, and serve.
Picked CAULIFLowER.- Very small
and imperfect heads can be used for this
purpose. Take six small ones and cut
them up. Take also one pint of small
white onions and two small red peppers.
Dissolve a cup of salt in one quart of
hot water and pour over the caulidower,
draining of the next morning. Boil two
quarts of vinegar with three tablespoon
fuls of mustard seed; add the vegetables
and boil half ar hour.
CRANBERRY SAUCE.-Pick over and
wash the cranberries, and put in the pre-
serving kettle, with half a pint of water
to one quart of berries; now put the
sugar-granulated is the best-on the
top of the berries: set on the fire and
stir about half an hour: stir often to pre-.
vent burning; they will not need strain
ing, and will preserve their rich color
cooked in this way. Never cook cram
berries before putting in the sugar. Less
sugar may be used if you do not wish
them very rich.
PoMoNELLA PCDDING.-Into a. two
quart pail put one quart of apples, pared
and sliced, over which put half a cup of
sugar, a pinch of salt and two ounces OF
butter. Make batter of two cups Of
flour, one spoonful of butter Tor clear
beef dripping), a little salt and two full
teaspoons of baking powder. Wet up
with milk, aud roll out, of a size to
cover the apples in the pail. Cover the
pail and set in q kettle half full Of boil
ing water. Cover the kettle, and keep

Farm and Garden Notes,

Some thrifty farmers place their iron
and steel tools in air-slaked lime during
the winter to keep them bright.
The value of potatoes as a food for fat
tening pigs is increased by cooking, but
beets. mangels and cabbages will give
quite as good results when fed raw.
Always keep your bees strong in num-
bers, and if the flowers secrete honey,
you are sure to reap a good harvest. Be-
side, it is the most perfect and best pre-.
ventive of moth-worm.
For pigs that have the thumps give
them ten drops of the t~incture Of digi-
tails every two hours for twenty, and
then if they do not get well, give them
the same dose every three hours until
they get we'll or die.
One of the advantages of the tomato
as a crop is that the fruit oes not need
to be fully ripe to be salable at good
prices. There is an active demand in
some places this year for green tomatoes
to pickle, and at better prices than the
ripe fruit brought three or four weeks
ago.
Large quantities of leaves drift in Sc
Guided places, and are often burned to
get them out of the way. A better use

ly rub surface with stiff bristle scrub.
bling brush.
To KILL GREASE SPoTs BEFORE PAINT
1SG.-Wash V smoky or greasy parts
with saltpetre, or very thin lime white
wash. If soapsuds are used, they must
be washed of thoroughly, as they pre-
vent the paint from drying hard.
To REMOVE VARNIsH WITHOUT HURT
ING PA1Nr.-Brush spirits of ammonia or
hartshorn on the varnish. These act
upon the oil and soften it, so that it may
be rubbed off easily. Or you may apply
a mixture of carlolic acid one pint, creo-
sote one ounce, turpentine a half pint,
with a soft camcl's hair brush.
OIL FOR FURNITURE Boil together
cold drawn linseed oil and as much al
kanct root as it will cover, and to every
quart of oil add two ounces of the best
rose pink; when all the color is extracted
strain it off, and for every quart add a
gill of spirits of turpentine; it will be a
very superior composition for soft and
light mahogany.
To RESTORE FIRE-GILT ORNAMENTS.
- These ornaments, if the gliding be not
too much worn, may be restored to their
original beauty by immersing them in a
mixture of muriatic acid and aqua forts.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Clean Heads.

Keeping the head perfectly clean is q
great aid to heolth. A distinguished
physician, who has spent much of his
time at quarantine, said that a person
whose head was thoroughly washed every
day rarely ever took contagious diseases,
but where the hair was allowed to be-
come dirty and matted it was hardly
able to escape infection. Many persons
find speedy relief for nervous headache
by washing the head thoroughly in weak
soda water. We have known cases al
NEST wholly cured in ten minutes by
this simple remedy. A friend finds it
the greatest relief in cases of 'rose
cold" the symptoms entirely leaving the
eyes after one thorough washing of the
hair. The head should be thoroughly
dried afterward, and avoid draughts of
air for a little while.

Political life, Of short or long duration, is
very exhausting. as is evident from the great
mortality which prevails among public men.
