"A new form of fancy work now en-
gaging the attention of amateurs is sill
ments are made of the ductile material.
The material consists of plain and
twisted silver of plated wire, in two
sizes, and small beads of various shapes.
The work is done after a drawn design
by means of strong pincers with broad
points, a puncheon, thick and thin
knitting pin or needle. The thick wire
is used for the framework, and the slen-
der wire for securing the beads, making
spirals and tendrils. Ladies' combs are
very tastefully ornamented in this way.

A Good Farina Pudding: Half a
pint sweet milk, little salt, one tea
spoonful of butter. When boiling add
three tablespoonfuls of farina. Let it
cook until stiff. and then add sugar and
vanilla flavoring to taste, stir in the

the whites beaten to stiff froth. Pour

1t is pleasant to the taste and keeps
fruit we'll when used to preserve them.
1t will not make good sugar, from the
waxy properties of the strip, when boiled
to that consistency. One acre will yield
twenty barrels of molasses, and is q
fine substitute for sugar cane. 1t would
be economy to use them in this way
late in the season, when you have more
melons than you can dispose of.-Ohio

Bell Fritters: Put one quart of flour
in bowl with level teaspoonful of
salt, and mix it to a thick batter. Have
ready pint and half of water boiling
in large saucepan. Pour in the bat

twelve eggs. The stirring must be con-
tinuous and hard, so that the mass may
be perfectly smooth and the eggs we'll
mixed in. Have ready kettle of boil
ing lard. Remove the batter from the
fire and drop it, one spoonful at a time,
in the lard. In moment it will be a
delicious crisp bubble shaped some
