 covered with henzoline. After soak- 

 ini» a few minutes, knead and squeeze 

 them well, and any specially spoiled 

 part, such as the tips of the fingers, 

 may be rubbed separately. After ruli- 

 bing any part, immerse the whole 

 ,ulove, or it will be marked with the 

 rni)bing. Squeeze out one at a time, 

 and draw quickly on the hand, and 

 nib lightlj' and evenly over with a

 the rubbing is heavy or unequal the 

 gloves will be streaky. Draw the 

 glove carefully from the hands and 

 hang it in a current of air for a few 

 hours. BenzoHne is highly inflam-

 room with either gas or a fire; even 

 strong sunshine is better avoided. 



Summer Rules for Children. 



The over-anxious mother feels that, 

 according to some authorities, "it's 

 pretty dangerous living anywhere," and 

 she would add, "at any time." But the 

 maternal heart does not feel the danger 

 for herself, but for her children. A 

 child should neVer be allowed to go out 

 of doors before breakfast, unless he has 

 stayed his stomach with a slice of bread- 

 and-butter or a biscuit and a glass of 

 milk. Exercise early in the morning is 

 all very well if the night's fast has been 

 broken, but to walk or play out of doors 

 while the vitality is at the lowest ebb, 

 and before the weakened system has 



lieeii fortified by nourishment, is to 

 court trouble. The wise motiier will see 

 to it that her children eat their ibrec 

 meals at regul.ir hours, and that all 

 vegetables and fruit in which they in- 

 dulge are fresh and ripe. If her boy 

 rdches a sun-warmed cucumber from the 

 garden antl eats it out of hand, she need 

 not be surprised at his sudden and vio- 

 lent attack of illness; and if he mun- 

 ches verdant apples between his meals, 

 intestinal disorders will but be the na- 

 tural result of this course. Children 

 cannot too early learn habits of moder- 

 ation and self-control, and if the mother 

 demands the establishment of these 

 habits, her anxiety and her children's 

 illnesses will be the exception, not the 

 rule. 



Tried Recipes. 



— Preserving Peas. — 



Procure sufficient wide-mouthed 

 bottles, which must be clean and per- 

 fectly dry. Select Peas fully grown, 

 but not old; put them in the bottles, 

 shake them down, cork securely, and 

 cover the corks with bladder. Place , 

 the bottles in a large saucepan and 

 pour into it enough cold water to 

 reach within in. of the corks. 



Wood wool or hay should be wedged 

 l)etween the bottles to prevent them 

 knocking together. Put the saucepan 

 on the fire, where it should remain 

 for two hours after the water has 

 lioiled. Then remove the saucepan, 

 and when the water is cold take out 

 the bottles, seal the corks, and place 

 in a dry store. Another way is to 

 fill the bottles with the peas and seal 

 the corks. Then bury the bottles in a 

 dry corner of the garden, taking 

 them up as wanted. Great care must 

 be taken that the bottles are perfectly 

 dry before the peas are put into them. 



h .uide.iu of Veal. — 

 Trim a filb i nf ve;il weighing about 

 J lb., and bird it evenly and thickly 

 wilii strips of fat bacon. Slice some, 

 vegetables - turni;), carrot, onion, &c., 

 put them in a stewpau with a few 

 slices of bacon, the trimmings of the 

 meat, a bunch of herbs, six or eight 

 peppercorns, and salt. Place the 

 \ea! on llic vegetables, and pour in 

 a pint of slock. Cover, and simmer 

 slowly till the meat is (|uite' tender, 

 and baste frequently with the gravy. 

 When done put the fricandcau in the 

 oven for a few minutes till the bacon 

 is crisp. Meantime strain the gravy, 

 add a little glaze to it, and baste the 

 fricandeau till it looks bright and 

 shiny. Serve with a puree of spinach 

 or any other vegetable. 



—Jam Puffs.— 

 Roll out some good puff pastry 

 very thinly, or if short crust or flaky 

 pastry be used let it be about quarter 

 of an inch thick. Cut the pastry into 

 squares, lay a spoonful of jam (with- 

 out stones) in the centre, and fold 

 over like sausage rolls. Moisten the 

 edges, and fasten them securely to 

 prevent the jam from escaping. 



— Baked Fish. — 



Dress your fish nicely, salt to suit 

 the taste, and lay it out flatly in a 

 nicely greased dripping pan, leaving 

 the flesh side up. Scatter small pieces 

 -of butter on the fish, and then bake 

 until done, from 20 minutes to half 

 an hour, according to size of fish; 

 then pour over the fish a teacupful 

 of sweet cream, and return to 'the 

 oven until nicely browned. A very 

 hot oven is required to bake fish in 

 this way. 



— Apple Jelly. — 



Peel, core, and cut into slices a 

 quantity of apples; throw them into 

 cold water to prevent them from turn- 

 ing brown. When all are peeled and 



Smallpox, Diptheria, Measles, and all Contagious Diseases.
