I —Bran Bread. —This i# said to lje a : capital recipe, for the bread keeps fresh iJfor a long time and is very easily made & Two «nd a half poapds. of brow n flour/ I that is. the wheat as ground, no bran boI ing taken out, one quarter of a pound of white Hour, one half ounce soda, four j teaspoon! uls tartaric acid, a ki rup of ammonia the size of a nut, one and onehalf pints of milk and water, or pure water, To be baked in a tin. —Cranbefry Mann abide.—Sweat pnd insipid apples and those which ate past then' prime and need to be cut up on aci eptmt -of decay may jbe made very »r- ---‘ otfpfable by stewing had miting wall 4ewect cranberries in* the: proportion, say, of one part cranberries to two parts apple. Not quite so much sugar will be required as for the cranberries alone, urnless the apples are sour. Strain thrhujp a colander, mix evenly and serve at any meal. T no Oncooked or luuf-cooked hog’s lfefh. The raw flesh of the hog, whatevtfijuS shape or condition, whether ham, bacon <>r pork, sail or fresh, snibkee. u%, smoked, is liable to contain tliis pjrasug, full of life and activity that may VoYk a remediless mischief in the human body. Bologna sausage, If pork he In it -a*-** cooked, is as, dangerous aB any fojrrfepf this meat. The heat that cooks moat utterly destroys the life and mischievous powers of these vermin and no one nued tear any harm if this fact is observed —l'rof. (1-nhba has been ex'aminiq|r tJhe : effects of ammonia on the color of Hewers. It is woll known that the smoke of tobacco w ill, .when .applied in sufficient, quantity,change the tint of iloweis; but Prod, (iabba experiments by pouring a little ammonia liquor into a’saucer aml inverting a funnel over it. Placing the flowers in the tube of the latter he jm|l§ that blue, violet and 1 pnrpleroforCa blossoms become of 111 fine gif |n; carmine tmd crimson become black; white, ; yellow ; white parti-eolored flow ers such as jvd and w hip' are changed to green and, yellow. If the flowers are Immofsedf in’ water the natural color will return in a few hours. Pro!, (iabba also found that asters acijuiro a pleasing odorWlltm submitted to the. fumes of ammonia. ... t —PYrtf. Wilder gives these short rules for action, in ease of accident: For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dasli water into them; removing cinders, etc., with the round point of a lead pencil. Remove inaects front the car by tepid water ; neye»®a hard instrument into the ear. II UPtrfery is Cut, compress above the wound; if a vein is cut, compress below. If choked, get ( upon ail fours and cough. For light burns, dip the part in cold w ater; if the skin is destroyed, cover with varnish. Smother a tire 'with car})ets, efc.; water will often spread burring oil, and increase the danger. Before passing through smoke, take a full breath, and then stoop low, but if carbpn is suspected, then walk erect. Suck poison wounds, unless your mouth is sore. Enlarge the wound, or, better,' cut out the part without delay. Hold the wounded part as long as can be borne to a hot coal, or end of a cigar. In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling the throat, or by water or mustard. For acid, poisons, give adds; in caseofopium poisoning, give strong coffee and keep moving. If in water, float on the back, w ith the nose and mouth projecting. FoY apoplexy, raise the head and body; for fainting, lay the person flat.
