1T is reported that physician in
Springfield, o., of some celebrity as an
electrician, has invented practically
self-sustaining storage battery. The
ordinary storage battery will only sus-
tain an electrical current about twelve
hours, when it must be recharged. But
it is claimed that the current from this
battery will continu: without sensible
uiminution four Or five years. The in
vention is not yet patented, but is said
to consist in combination of chemicals
whose action, though slow, is very
strong. A self-sustaining battery
would produce a revolution in the up
pl;cation of electricity to the arts.

The blanching Of vegetables Is . pro-
cess which American housekeepess do
not generally understand. There ore .
great many vegetables which hsvo .
rank flavor, and this may be removed
by blanching. To blanch il not to par
boil in water. Adelicate vegetable like
green peas or sweet corn does not need
blanching, nut coarse vegetable like
cabbage orjonion is very much improved
by the process. Cabbage should always
he blanched. To do this, pare OF the
outer leaves and cut the cabbage into
four equal pieces Put them in IN
abundance of boiling water and let
them cook about ten minutes. Then
drop them into cold water. and when
they are cold complete the cooking.
Spinach also is always blanched by our
best cooks
All boiled greens are better for this
process of blanching. Brussele sprouts
and caulif1ower should be blanched in
about the same time and manner -
cabbage. Spring beans and lima beans
should be cooked in boiling water sailed
for at least an hour, cooled in cold
water, and then cooked till done. Tur-
nips should be parboiled ten or fifteen
minutes, according to their age, but they
should not be coolsl in cold water. as this
would give them q bitter taste. Drain
them while they are hot and finish tho
cooking. Onions are very much better
to be cut off at either end, put in boil
ing water. cooked for fifteen minutes,
then cooled and peeled and cooked again
for twenty-five or thirty minutes Longer,
till they are done.
There is difference of opinion Is to
cooking potatoes. They are never
cooled after they are cooked the first
time, but they are often improved when
they arc old by cooking them in two
waters At this season old potatoes have

Young potatoes should be cooked in

to the process of blanching. The mis-
