the paintings produced by their genius;
old letters connected with Louisiana his
tory or bearing the autographs OF noted
men; OF which many are lying hidden

families. All antique r%eliqnes interesting

Economy counts in the course Of a
year, and the care Of the kitchen
utensils, the wa htubs, ETC., is bv no
means lost or useless. 1t is wise
also to look after the fruit cans (;
when the fruit is taken they should

then have a little soda or ammonia
put into them and be filled with
water, and allowed to stand for an
hour or two, then they should be
rinsed in clear water, and the rub.
bers and tops all be taken equally
good care of, so that when they are
needed next autumn no loss may
occur.
Many persons who are in the nab,
it of freshening mackerel, Or other
salt fish, never dream that there is
a right way and a wrong way to do
it. ANY person who has seen the
process of evaporatlng going on at
salt works, knows that the salt falls
to the bottom. Just so it is in a pan
where your mackerel lies soaking ;
and as it lies with the skin side
down. the salt will fall to the skin
and there remain when if placed
with the flesh down the salt falls to
the bottom of the pan, and the fish
comes out freshened as it should be
In the other case it is nearly as salty
as when pnt in.
