ANOTHER WAY OF CLEANING BLACK
SILK.-Black silks can be sponged on
both sides with ammonia water, one
tablespoonful to one pint of water.
Allow each piece to lay on the table
until dry. The Partisan method, which
is thought by many to be the best in
use, is as follows: The silk must be
thoroughly FURNISHED and wiped with
a cloth, then laid flat on a table or
board, and we'll sponged with hot
coffee, thoroughly freed from sedi-
ment by being strained through mus
lin. The silk is sponged on the side in
tended to show; it is allowed to be-
come partially dry, and then iron on
the wrong side. The coffee removes
every particle of grease, and restores
the brilliancy of the silk without i'm
parting to it either the shiny appear
ance or crackly and papery stiffness
obtained by beer. The silk really ap-
pears thickened by the process, and
this good effect is permanent,

A FEW WORDS ON CAKE.

What puzzle and a bother it has
been to so many women to make cake9
And yet how easy to make when one
knows how. Sponge cake (the easiest
thing in the world to make). One
pound of pulverized sugar, ten eggs.
half pound of sifted flour, Juice and
grated rind of one lemon. Beat yolks
OF eggs and sugar until thick and light.
then add the lemon, then the flour
and whites of eggs beaten stiff; beat
all for five minutes, put in a creased
pan and bake for three quarters of an
hour in moderate oven.

gar, half cup of butter, half cup of
water, half cup of corn starch. one
and a-half cups of flour, whites of six
eggs, two teaspoonsfuls of vanilla. two

beaten whites of eggs; bake in ielly-
pans. three, in a moderate oven.
For the filling, whites of three eggs
three small cups of pulverized sugar:
put the sugar in a stew pan and mois-
ten with half cup of water: boil until
thick syrup; do not stir while boil
ing. Pour the boiling sugar slowly in
to the beaten whites of eggs, beating
them all the time, and beat until per
fectly light, then take out enough to
Ice the top of the cake, and stir into
the rest one POUND of figs cut in small
pieces; this will form a stiff paste:
spread the cake as you do jelly cake;
then ice the whole cake. Flavor the
icing with vanilla. Instead of figs.
raisons or sliced citron may be used.
Then the yolks may be used in making
another cake. Yolks of nine eggs.
two cups of pulverized sugar, one Of
