HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

LITTLE walters Of polished brass or cop
per are used instead of silver.
FINGER-GLAssE Of heavy cut crys-
tai are now used in preference to any
other.
CENTER-PIECEs of beautiful Venetian
glass have mirror at the base surround
ed with flowers In Venetian glass-wOrk.
SNOw-DRoPs-Onec cup of butter, cups
Of sugar, whites OF eggs, / small cup of
milk, full cups of prepared flour; flavor
with vanilla and nutmeg. Bakein small,
round tins. Those in the shape Of fluted
shells are very pretty.
CELERY Is sometimes deceptive and not
so tender as it looks, and in tact is too
tough TO be eaten; but do not throw 1t
away. Chop it and put it into jars Of to-
matO or cucumber pickles. 1t Will give a
most excellent flavor.
RICH JUMBLEs-Rdb to a cream
pound of butter and a pound of sugar /;
mix with it a pound ana a half Of flour /;
4 eggs and very little brandy; roll
the cakes in powered sugar; lay them on
fiat, buttered tins, and bake in a quick
oven.
MOLAssEs COOKIEs-One cup butter,
cups Of mOlasses, 1 teaspoonful cloves,
tablespoonful ginger, flour to make q
stiff batter, not dough. Mold with the
hands into small cakes and bake in a
steady rather than quick oven, as they are
apt to burn.
To REMOVE smell Of paint water neu-
tralizes the smell Of paint. Vessels OF
water placed in a newly painted room
will remove the smell, especially if inn
pregnated with little sulphurlc acid. Or
straw and hay saturated with water. Or
chloride Of lime and water.
A ppuT,srXr IN ar.r-a :, ero b1oua 2, oro
is to mold it in small cups, then put a
mold of jelly in the centre OF a platter
and place the blanc-mange around il.
Sweetened cream should be served with
it. II chOlate. enough to favor and color
the blanc-mange is added to halt OF it,
so that every other mold is brown. The
effect is pleasing.
To REMOVE unpleasant odOrs burnt
coffee is the best dislnfectant, and it is
very agreeable. For water closets, night
chairs, etc, chloride Of lime and even
common lime should be used. Or sugar
Of lead, l ounce; aquafOrtis, l ounce; in
nearly quart Of water. This is eIectual
to cleanse utensils from bad OdOrs. Or
charcoal powder and camphOr dissolved
the articles well rinsed with the compost
ton.
A FANCY which has been seized upon
by French ladies may be utilized by our
countrywomen who are def with the
needle. Before RELOCATING to the rag-bag
old embroidered muslin or lace curtains
first cut away the delicate designs OF flow
ers, whatever they may be, and use these
as models in applique work for table
scaris, screens, cushions, etc. Nothing is
easier than to embrOider over the contour
Of the figures, either in silk or wool, a
handsome ''raised" effect being the result
of the 0verwOrk.
If FEARS are entertained that the
pickle supply is not going to equal the
demand make some chopped pickle after
this rule. 1t is appetizing, and will take
the place OF more expensive pickles:
Chop two quarts Of cabbage and two
quarts Of celery, put them into pOrce-
lain kettle, pour over them three quarts
Of vinegar, half an ounce each of crushed
white ginger root and turmeric, one
quarter of pound Of white mustard seed,
, tsblespoonfuls Of salt and 8 of sugar.
Let this cook slowly until the cabbage is
tender without being soft.
