Wild flowers to the city garden.
The woods and fields of Jersey and some

wealth of country blooms much more
grateful to city eyes than the prim arti-
ficiality of pansies and pinks and other
fadylike posies.
In digging the wild flowers, especially
those having dubious roots. care should
be taken to dig deep enough to get all
of the roots and to haves as much soil
as possible clinging to them. After wrap

watered and shaded for a week or more.
Do not plant them in a sunny part Of the

Two an one-half hours are required for
a mosquito to develop from it's first stage,
a speck resembling cholera bacteria, to it's
active and venomous maturity, says the
"Public Health Journal" The insect in
all its phases may be Instantly killed by
contact with minute quantities of erman
ganate of potassium. 1t is claimed that
one part of this substance in fifteen hum
| bred of solution distributed in mosquito
marshes will render the development of
the larvae impossible: that a handfu of
| pernanganate will oxidize a ten-acre
| swamp, kill its embryo insects and keep
it free from organic matter for thirty
days at a cost of Is cents; that with care
a whole State may be KEPT free of in
sect pests at a small cost. An efficacious
method is to scatter a few crystals wide
~ apart. A single pinch of p-ermanganate
has killed all the germs in a thousand
gallon tank.
This is a recipe for chutney:-
One pound of salt, four pounds of sugar,
half pound of garlic, half pound of green
! ginger, one pound of sweet almonds. two
pounds of stoned raisins weighed after
stoning), one pound of mustard seed, four
ounces of dried chillies, eight pounds Of
finely chopped, unripe, juicy baking APP
Piles and six quarts of vinegar. Previous
to blending these together soak the green
ginger in the vinegar for ten days. Pound
all the ingredients separately in a mortar
and moisten with vinegar. After thor
oughly pounding, mix them together in
a stone jar, stand in a large pan of water
and cook over a slow fire till all the in
gradients are soft enough to pass through
a colander. When cold place in bottles
for use. This chutney will keep for years
and improves with age. The green gin
ger can be procured from any good seeds

There are also many excellent entrees

which are very wholesome and novel. One
/ needs a cook trained to make such vege-
table dishes. Here is an important Tip"
Tn making a milk soup the milk must be
boiled in an absolutely clean saucepan
before a particle of salt is added to it.
| Neglect of this detail insures a curdled
(, soup. Again, even in cookery books, one
is told to beat an egg in a. tureen and
] pour the soup on it, Not SO, If you
value the smoothness Of your soup, but
have the eggs we'll beaten in a basin. pour
your soup boiling from the fire into
heated tureen, and then slip in the eggs
by degrees. stirring vigorously all the
time.
Ninety-nine women in a hundred max
ing sandwiches for company expected
in the evening, and wanting them crust
less, will cut the crust off after slicing
the bread. Take a whole loaf of bread,
cut the sides and top crust off, leaving
the bottom crust on. Then, having
squared off one end, spread on your dew
| lied ham, sardine paste or whatever, and
cut a thin slice back to the bottom crust.
Release the slice by running your knife
down just inside the bottom crust. Then
neither the bread nor your meat is crum-
pied.
A well known and successful exhibitor
of fine vegetables recently remarked that
asparagus was rarely properly cooked
when sent to the table, because Of the
practice of submerging the whole Of the
stems in water, thus treating green tops
| and blanched bases alike. The proper.
/ way is to cook 1t erect, covering the
bianched stem with water and leaving
the green tender tips to be cooked by the
| steam. In this way the entire system is
completely cooked at the same time.
Most mothers have a dread of rornps, so.
they lecture the girls daily on the pro-
prieties and exhort them to be little ladies'.
They like to see them very quiet and gem
tie and as prim as possible. The lot of
such chilren is rather pitiable. for they
are deprived of the fun and frolic which
they are entitled to. ChildrenAboys and
girls-must have exercise to keep them
healthy. Deprive them of 1t and they will
fade away, like flowers without sunshine.
