BLACK CURRANT PIE. 
To a pint of currants, add nearly half a 
pint of water, and cook on the stove for a 
few minutes. Add a generous amount of 
sugar, and two tablespoonfuls of boiled rice 
to each pie. Line a deep plate with a deli- 
cate crust, fill with the black currant mix- 
ture, and have an upper crust or not as you 
choose. 
Cherry Pie. 
Look over and pit the cherries. Mix with 
them a generous cup of sugar, two table- 
spoonfuls of flour, and a little water. Near- 
ly fill a pudding dish with them, and cover 
with a light crust. In the centre of the 
crust, place a pipe-shaped piece of white pa- 
per which will carry off the steam, and pre- 
vent the juice from running over. 
Easy Washing. 
“Good Housekeeping" recommends the 
following to its readers as a satisfactory 
and easy manner of washing: “Early Mon- 
day morning, take the clothes, look them 
over carefully, and soap the dirtiest places; 
then put them into a boiler tilled with cold 
water. Into the water put about a cupful 
of kerosene. Doubtless you are rather ex- 
cited over this, but kindly give it one single 
unprejudiced trial, and when you see how 
white the clothes become, and that there is 
no kerosene odor left in them after rinsing, 
you will always wash with lamp oil after- 
wards. Let the boiler remain on the lire 
until the clothes have boiled some ten min- 
utes, after the water has gone through all 
the stages from cold to hot. Then take 
the clothes out of the water: the small ar- 
ticles, and those which are not very dirty 
to begin with — pillow-cases, napkins, hand- 
kerchiefs, etc , — will be all ready to rinse, 
wring and hang out. The very dirty clothes 
may ne *d to be put on again, in cold water 
and kerosene, but a second boiling will be 
sure to leave them sweet and white as any 
one could wish. Children’s creeping dress- 
es, farmers’ shirts, and other garments 
which were actually dirt-colored, from the 
amount of dirt ground into them, come out 
white as paper after two boilings. This 
way of washing may not be very expedi- 
tious, perhaps, but it does away with back- 
aching, muscle-tearing rubbing, and kero- 
sene in no way injures the finest fabric.” 
Another use for kerosene, in regard to 
which most housekeepers will be somewhat 
skeptical, is for washing dishes. Mr. At- 
kinson, the inventor of the Aladdin oven 
to which we have previously referred, has 
discovered that a pailful of water in which 
is a teaspoonful of kerosene, will serve to 
clean plates and dishes more effectually 
than hot water and soap. 
Fashion Clippings. 
For the summer a favorite material will 
be grenadine, tucked in some contrasting 
color. 
The prettiest outing dresses are made of 
finely twilled striped flannels in cream, al- 
ternating with summer colors. 
The washing silks displayed this season, 
though very closely woven, are soft, pli- 
able. and warranted to wash, although this 
did not always prove the case in similar 
goods sold a year ago designed for summer 
blouses. The color mixtures in the checks, 
plaids, and stripes, are delicate and beauti- 
ful, and are used variously for tea-gowns, 
waists, night dresses, and for children’s cos- 
tumes. The darker melanges are made 
into traveling and beach dresses and long 
wraps for- summer jaur.ts. Raw silks and 
fancy shot surahs are prominently display- 
ed. Stylish young women who have a lik- 
ing for uncommon effects are having these 
fabrics made into rather striking costumes 
for tennis use and mountain wear. They go 
to the other extreme and have the skirts as 
noticeably full and short as the typical 
street skirt is noticeably tight and disgust- 
ingly long. 
The new corduroy cloth is made into sty- 
lish and serviceable beach and mountain 
dresses, with short, full skirt, open English 
jacket, and blouse waist of red or blue 
polka-dotted surah. Fawn, tan, gray, and 
golden brown are the popular dyes. 
A new fabric for curtains and draperies 
is the • beautiful Shakii silk, which is both 
wide and reasonable in price, being thirty- 
six inches wide and selling for a dollar ten 
a yard. It is loosely woven, but hangs in 
soft, rich folds, and does not become 
stringy. It is only to be had in plain col- 
ors. Plain colors are, however, now more 
frequently used for vestibule, sash and oth- 
er curtains, both in this and in the India 
silks, than those that are figured. 
All the shades of yellow are most popular 
for such curtains. White, pistache green, 
and old rose are also liked. The color, 
must, of course, be determined by the fur- 
nishing of the room, and in country houses 
by the color of the exterior of the house. 
Among the figured India silks is a scroll 
pattern in dark blue on a white ground that 
is much liked because it does not fade eas- 
ily. — N. Y. Evening Post.

‘WE TAKE THE COUNTRY" 
This unprecedented success is due: 
lnt.To the fact that before commencing the 
^manufacture, exhaustive scientific investiga- 
tion and experiments were made by a skilled 
mechanical engineer, in which over 5,000 dy- 
namometric tests were made on 61 different 
forms of wheels, propelled by artificial and 
therefore uniform wind, by which were set- 
tled definitely many questions relating to 
the proper speed of wheel, the best form, 
I angle, curvature and amount of jail surface 
\ the resistance of air to rotation. obstructions 
in the wheel, such as heavy wooden arms, 
[ obstructions before the wheel, as in the 
vaneless mill, and numerous other more 
abstruse, though not less important ques- 
tions. These investigations proved that 
the power of the best wind wheels could 
be doubled, and the AERMOTOR 
daily demonstrates it has been done.
