They gave the following recipe, which makes a delicious and refreshing wash .for the sickroom: Take of rosemary, wormwood, lavender, rue, sage ana mint a large handful of each. Place n a stone jar and turn over it one gallon of strong cidar vinegar, cover oiosely and keep near the fire for four days, then strain and add one ounce Of powdered camphor gam. Bottle and keep tightly corked. It is very aromatic, cooling and reflreehing in the sick room, and is of great value to nurses. Afghan for a Baby Carriage.— Get two yards of bleached cotton flannel, with long heavy nap aud about one-half yard of pale blue marino. Cut the fla'inel into two equal parts, and fringe the ends and sides by drawing the threads. Make the fringe about an inch in length. Now out strips of the merino about an inch and a quarter wide, and fringe on side and tne ends. Place the pieces of cotton flannel together with the nap side out, putting between them the strips of merino, and t-tltoh altogether with blue or white silk thread. About three inches from where the fringe begins, put on a border of the merino about two inches wide, letting the strips cross at ti.e corners and fringe the ends to match the .rest. In the center of the robe work, in some prettystyleof letters,the word “baby” upon one side and npon the others rose or bunch of violets, or any other pretty design. Of course this is to be worked in blue. This afghan will wash.
