RECIPES, ETC.

—Rice .Telly.—Boil one pound of-rice flour with half a pound of loaf sugar in a quart of water until tag whole becomes a glutinous mass; strain off the jelly and let it stand to cool. This is nutritious and light. —Carbonado, a Norwegian Dish.—lt consists of mince meat, eggs and fine herbs made up into a kind of cake and then fried or baked. meat probably if cooked in an ordinary way would defy mastication, but thus treated it is really a dainty plate. —There is no ingredient in cooking cabbage that gives it quite as good a flavor as a heaping tablespqonful of sugar. Cook the usual way, crown, butter, pepper, salt, a sprinkle of nour.if you like, but don't forget the finishing touch that is found in sugar. —Cauliflower Omelet. —Take the white part of a boiled cauliflower after it is cold jand chop it very small and mix with K a sufficient quantity of wellbeaten egg to make a very thick batter, and then fry it in fresh butter in a small pan and send it to the table hot. —To Stuff a Ham.—Parboil and place the ham on a tray; make incisions over it with a sharp knife some two or three inches deep, and stuff these with a dressing made of crackers cooked to a brown crisp and crumbled tine; add salt, pepper, egg, butter, parsley and onion chopped line, then bake it brown in a moderate heat and serve when cold. — As a rule warm water and a soft cloth are all that is required to keep glass in good condition; but water bottles and wine decanters, in order to keep them bright, must be rinsed out with a little muriatic acid, which is the best substance for removing the “fur” which collects in them. This acid is far better than ashes, sand or shot; for the ashes and sand scratch the glass; and if any shot is left in by accident the lead is poisonous. —How to Make Erasive Soap.—Here is an excellent recipe for making genuine erasive soap that will remove grease and stains from clothing: Two pounds of good Castile soap; half a pound of carbonate of potash, dissolved in half a pint of hot water. Cut the soap in thin slices, boil the soap with the potash until it is thick enough to mold in eakes; also add alcohol, half an ounce •. camphor, half color with half an ounce of pulverized charcoal. —To make a nest egg, take an ordinary hen’s egg, break a small hole in the small end about three-eighths of ;rn inch in diameter, extract the contents, and. after it is thoroughly dear inside, till it with powdered slacked lime, tamping it in order to make it contain as much as possible. After it is full seal it up with plaster of Paris, and you have a nest egg which cannot be distinguished by the hen from the other eggs, and one which will not crack (like other eggs) by , being frozen.— Scientific American.. .A —Pure, soft water is the best of all blood-purifiers. It dissolves almost every impurity that may find its way info the blood, and passes it off through the skin, lungs and kidneys, thus wash ing out the blood w ithout any irritation in passing through the system and without those chemical changes and deposits which are likely to arise from the action of (hugs. Why then use doubtful, dangerous" and often injurious drugs for purifying the blood when pure, simple, sate, pleasant and far more effectual water may be bad without money and without price’: ""
