HOUSEHOLD MA TTEBS.

ROLL CAKK.—Four egg*, one cup su-

HKAD WA-sri.—Sage

HAND DJIESSINO.—TO preserve the smoothness and softness of the hands, keep a small bottle of glycerine near the place where vou habitually wash them, and whenever you have finished washing, and be/ore yofi wipe them, put one or two drops of the glycerine on the wet palm and rub the hanas thoroughly with it as if it were soap then dry lightly with tho towel. Household work and bad weather will not prevent your skin l'rom being smooth and soft, if this plan of using glycerine is followed.

GOLDEN HAIR.—Since golden hair is so much in favor, it is well for mothers to know that they can preserve the golden color of thoir children's locks bv a persistent and careful washing with eastile soap and water. The hair should be braidea and dipped repeatedly into the suds, and then wiped with a towel, and this operation should be performed once in four or five days. If persevered in, tho roots of the hair may darken as the child grows older, but the mass will keep its sunny tints as long as the owner wishes.

A GOOD CAKK WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE. —One pint of cream, one pint of sugar, yolks of threo eggs, soda, if cream is Hour, and soda and cream of tartar if cream is sweet flavor to taste, Hour enough to form a moderately stiff batter bake in loaf if you want a plain cake, or in layers, if you want a jelly *ako or coeoariut cake make stlffor and put in two cups of fresh, bost currants, and you liavo a nice, plain fruit cake. This cake recipe should be named "hard times cake," as it is valuble to a person whoso supply of buttor, sugar, and eggs is limited.

BRIMSTONE A MATCH FOR IiKimros.— Tho bost inodo of getting rid of bedbugs is to fumigate ihem with brimstone. Houses standing long and empty which have swarmed witl. them, have by this means been effectually freed from them. Place in tho center of tho room a dish containing about four ounces of brimHtone remove from the room such metallic surfaces as might bo affected by tho fumes closo every aperturo, even to the kov-holo, and light the brimstone. After four or five hwurs, ontor the room and open.tho window fora thorough airing.— (.Inter Ocean.

How TO CURE A SOKB THROAT.—1"One who has tried it," communicates the following seasonable item about curing sore throat Lot each one of your half million readers buy at any drug store one ounce of camphorated oil and five cents worth of chloride of potash. Whenever any soreness apioars in the throat, put the potash in tialfa tumbler of water and with it gargle the throat thoroughly, then rub tho neck thoroughly, with tho camphorated oil at night before going to bod, and also pin around the throat a small strip of woollen flunnel. This is a simple, cheap and sure remedy.

ANT one who has beon in Paris and eaten the Parisian fried potatoos has not forgotten the sensation. The manner of production ha* been a secret to the? outaide world for thirty years, but it is now given in full as follows: In was in 1845 that those first made their appearance, and this was owing quite to chance.

CARPETS.

[Amerloan Qrooer.]

There is no question but the bare painted floors of a German or Swiss home make the air of a house much more healthful to breathe, than the thicklycarpeted English or American ones. Think of the aeeamalatlon of a year's dost under, or in, the substance of a carpet rising in an imperceptible eloud inhaled by the in the house.

very best washings and dressings for the without our warm carpets, not to speaK hair. The hair should be aarefully of the flwt that we have become aocusbrushed and braided in two firm braids, tomed to the furnished look which then the roots rubbed with

braids

The writer of this, adopted this plan some ten years ago, and finds such comfort in it, that she feels impelled to state some of Its advantages.

Firstly then there Is the wholesome ness. Secondly, saving of labor a room covered with a square of carpet being much more easily kept clean than one entirely covered.

Thirdly, economy as tho amount of carpet which usually covers one floor will in this case, nearly oover two.

And fourthly, the delivareace from annual or semi-annual house cleaning, which is so dreaded and so necessary in every household where carpets are nail ed down, and must be "taken up."

Of course the space of floor which is left uncovered should be painted, and it is a very good plan to paint it in stripes, to imitate the floors laid of alternate pine or oak and black walnut.

When the planks are of uniform width, this effect can bo produced by painting the half of every board (longitudinally) in dark brown, leaving the other half the natural color if it is then oiled, a verj' poor floor will look well, and be easily taken care of.

For ordinary rooms, a binding finishes the square of carpet sufficiently, but where something in the way of ornament is desired, a black yarn fringe, or a fringe of woolen cloth cut in strips, or a border of carpet of some other color than the square central piece, answers the purpose well, and gives the look of a large srug, which is the thing to be desired.

Every ingenious, intelligent woman will soo how possible it is to make nice contr.il rugs from carpets which are very much the worse for wear, by taking the unworn edges and putting them together and using the worse parts fringes and borders. A paintea floor, such as we have described above, is In summer pleasant and copl-looking without even the square of carpct.

A square or carpet which leaves bare foot, or two ieet of space along the sides of the wall—for the chairs and furniture, Is quite as nice in effect, and has the advantage of being easily handled and shaken.

Such a one, for inordinary sized room, can be taken out of doors weekly or fortnightly, and hung upon the lino, or laid upon the snow, or grass, for a good sweeping or beating, and brings in with it a sense of cleanliness, when It is again laid down, which is highly refreshing.

MESSRS. W. N. HEDGES A Co., Gentlemen—Through your agents, Messrs. H. L. Stiles & Co., we were persuaded to try your Champion Baking Powder, and having been using it for some months past we can cheerfully recommend it as being of superior quality. Our cook pronounces it to be more economical in use than others used by us. and we have used many of tbe so-called best brands.

We find after an impartial trial that the Champion excels, consequently would advise all persona wanting a Baking Powder that is fully up to the standard not only in quality, but in quantity, to try Hedges' champion Baking Powder. Respectftilly,

W. N. HEDGES A Co., Gentlemen—A month or so ago

in Spriagfield visiting a friend, and noticing the wonderftil suooess abe had in baking, led me to inquire into her mode of baking. She seemed to think one reason she succeeded so well was because she used your Champion Baking Powder, and in addition to this, she lauded It so highly that since I earn* home I have been trying to persuade one of our grocery men to send and gat some, but aayeth ave not succeeded.
