BAKED APPLE DUMPLINGS.

Peel and core as many apples
As your appetite may with
Six or eight-perhaps a Dozen
That would be a generous dish.
Make dough like cracker biscuit,
Roll it thin-with skill and care;
Place an apple lightly on it
Take your knife and cut it square
Large enough to fold your fruit in
Then within the vacant place
OF the core. bit Of butter,
Cinnamon and sugar place.
Draw your square up well together,
Pinch - gently on the top,
30 your cough will be protected,
Lest the cooking juices pop.
When your apples are all covered,
Take a fork and prick them through
Twill prove better in the baking
Half a dozen times will do.
Bake them slowly, and, while cooking,
Take of sugar just a cup,
And modest lump of butter
And with light hand cream them up,
Adding extract and your hard sauce
Set on ice to harden more;
Life your apples from the oven,
And your labors will be Ger.
Serve them hottie sauce adds flavor,
And each dumping firm and brown,
Is a practical achievement
Adds jewel to your crown.

When people with small means are

GENUINE EGG SHAMPOO.
Formula for Making n Preparation
That Is Absolutely Reliable and
Sure to Please.

Many of the compounds called ego
shampoos contain no eggs. They are
generally stiff soap paste, made up
in substantially this fashion: Take
four ounces of transparent soap. half
an ounce of carbonate of potash, six
ounces of water and two of glvcerine.
The soap should be coarsely powdered
and mixed with water in which the
carbonate Of potash has already been
dissolved. Heating over a fire bastens
the melting of the soap. The glvcer-
inc should be mixed in last of all. If
the composition is too firm on cooling,
little water may be added. A sam
pie may be tested for this purpose
before the whole batch has cooled.
Perfume may be introduced, if it be
wanted.
For genuine egg shampoo the fol-
lowing formula is recommended by
the New York Tribune:
Three fresh eggs, half an ounce of
spirit of soap, 100 grains of carbonate
of potash, $50 minims of ammonia wa
ter, two drops of rose oil, the same
amount of bergamot oil, one drop of
geranium oil, one of oil of bitter
almonds, and p ounces of rosewater.
The eggs should be well whipped and
mixed with the rosewater. The am
monia water, carbonate of potash and
spirit of soap having first been COM
bined, they may be added to the other
fluid. The whole having been well
stirred, the perfumes may be added.
The volume of the latter will be so
small that another vigorous stirring
is essential to their thorough incor-

CLARIFYING BEESWAX.
An Excellent Method by Which a Re-
liable and Marketable Article
Can BE Produced.

The following method of clarifying
beeswaX. is warranted by its inventor
to produce an absolutely reliable and
marketable article. All scraps and old
pieces of comb should be saved during
the entire season and subjected to this
treatment.
Put all the comb in large iron ket-
all farms, and fill up the kettle with
water. Keep the contents boiling
steadily for several hours. Meanwhile,
fill a large wooden tub half full of
water, and float a clean board on the
top of it. Cover the tub with a clean
hemp sack, or some similar material,
allowing it to rest on the floating
board. Dip out the mixture of hot
water and wax and pour it slowly into
the sack. Here it should be gently
stirred and squeezed with a smooth
round stick. All the wax worth saving
will soon run through and float on the
surface of the water. Clean the kettle
thoroughly and fill it again with clear
water; put the wax into it and boil
up again for some time. Next strain
carefully through a fine meshed cloth
several times. Throw all strainers
away, as they are useless aftwward.
When the wax has cooled again, melt
it without waite Aand pour it into molds.
