cold water constantly upon it will
never have mites on it; or, If it has,
this soon destroys them and also
greatly improves the cheese, keeping
it always moist.
Line your trunks and big boxes
with moth-proof paper, sold by the
roll. So shall it come to pass that
will find the fur brown and soft upon
your sealskin next fall and your tian-
nels and heavy clothing as whole as
when you put them away.
Chloroform will take grease spots
out of silk or poplin.
In laying in coal, if possible, store
it in an airy place, as it will burn out
much less quickly than if kept in close
quarters. When kept from the air
the coal gives out its gas and renders
it less powerful when burned.
Small slender-legged tables covered
with Louis XVI. brocade are most
suitable for the display of the small
silver ornaments now SO fashionable.
All mattresses and pillows should
have covers made of unbleached u
lin and tied or buttoned at the end to
protect the ticks. These do not re-
quire washing oftener than every six
months and are a real saving.
CHERRY ToAsT-To make cherry
toast, toast thin slices of stale bread
and spread over them, while hot, a
trife of butter. Stew one quart of
cherries either with or without the
pitts, adding half a cup of water, and
pour over the toast in alternate layers
Of bread and fruit. Set away and
serve cold. The cherries while warm
should be sugared to taste.
For a delicious sherbet crush a
quart of strawberries or other small
fruit to a paste; add three pints of
water and the juice of q lemon. Let
the mixture stand two or three hours,
then strain through a cloth to clear of
seeds; add three-fourths of a pound of
sugar and stir until dissolved; add ice.
A delightful beverage is lemon beer.
Make a pitcher OF hot lemonade with
boiling water, sugar and lemons to
taste; when it cools to a tepid degree
stir in a yeast cake and set the pitcher
away covered with a napkin till the
next day. When it ''sings' it is ready
for use and may be drunk without
pouring into bottles, but will be bet
ter if poured off into bottles and
corked up tightly. 1t then has a fine
foam and sparkle. After corking it
should be kept in the refrigerator I'M

ALTAR OF Reconsideration the rose
petals dry into a jar, take a bottle
that will fit exactly into the mouth of
the jar when inverted Soak clean
pieces of sponge in pure olive oil and
place them in the bottle. Invert over
the ia. and set it in the hot sunshine
for five days. The heat will distill
the perfume of the petals. and satu-
rate the sponges. AS often as the
leaves are dry change to fresh ones.
When the sponges are wet squeeze out
the oil and keep it in a,,tightly corked
vial. EsNS =

water, and place in on the ice until it
melts out a hollow sufficiently deep
to support it. Cover a platter with
fine ferns, and put the ice in among
the green sprays. AT the last moment
