MINTWOOD'S CONVERSAZIONE, 
Roy’s Suit) Etc. 
A. R. S.—The prettiest serviceable suits 
for “ three-year-old” boys are of gray cassi- 
mere, trimmed with flat gray braid and flat 
gray buttons. The pants come just below 
the knee, and cut large enough at the bot¬ 
tom to allow the foot to slip through easily. 
The coat is a loose, almost straight sacque, 
sixteen or eighteen inches long, has a seam 
down the back and at the sides. The front 
is cut double-breasted, i. e., one side is cut 
diagonal, wider at the lop, and sloping to 
the waist, and the braid is put on in rows 
across like an inverted pyramid, with a but¬ 
ton at. each end. The neck is a trifle Jow in 
froul, allowing full room for the turn-over 
collar of the muslin or linen (hiribaldi Under 
waist, and bow of the tiny necktie. A some¬ 
what broad belt, cut. with a point at the 
back, and passing through braid loops under 
each arm (to keep it in place) and fastening 
in front by a concealed button, finishes the 
suit. The braid passes down the side of the 
pants twice, around the bottom, and four 
buttons are placed above each other at the 
bottom on the outside seam, and similarly 
at ends of the sleeves. These suits may he 
lined with gray silicia. They cost, ready 
made, $12. 
If your "blue merino sluiwl” is large 
enough, you might make it into a sacque 
and overskirt, to be w'orn over a gray, 
brown or black petticoat. Trim with the 
fringe, or folds of merino, a shade darker. 
In any event you could make a pretty house 
jacket of it, bl’uidiug it with braid a shade or 
two darker. 1 7de jackets in Rural New- 
Yorker of Nov. 28, 1870. 
“ Economical M Wedding Trotissenu. 
Lizzie S. contemplates matrimony in 
May, and asks advice about a “ wedding 
dress; also two others, all of w'bicb will lie 
suitable for church and bouse wear; neat, 
yet with an eye to economy,” etc., etc. A 
silver gray, Japanese silk at seventy-five 
cents per yard, trimmed with folds of the 
same, would be a neat, suitable and econom¬ 
ical wedding dress. Or a pin-head check 
Lyons silk at $1 per yard. Overskirts are 
so generally worn, as to be quite indispens¬ 
able, although if you dislike them so much, 
you can have the frill of your basque cut 
deep and dispense with them. Fifteen or 
sixteen yards of silk would be sufficient for 
you. For the other suits an organdy or 
black grenadine, and a white suit of linen 
lawn or jaconet. An organdy should be 
trimmed with flounces and ruffles oft he same, 
and grenadine is pretty trimmed with side 
plaitings of the same, or ruffles bound with 
satin. Linen lawn should be trimmed with 
narrow flounces of side plaiting of the same. 
The grenadine will cost, at least eighty-five 
cents a yard, the organdy forty or fifty cents, 
and the linen lawn from forty to seventy-five 
cents, perhaps. Have your dresses made in 
suits, and you will need no summer wrap. 
For a " wrap,” however, I would suggest a 
black Llama lace sacque, costing from $14 
to $18. You will require collar and cuffs 
or sleeves of Valenciennes lace; also hand¬ 
kerchief, which will cost $12. A hlnck 
Neapolitan Gipsy hat or bonnet trimmed 
with black ribbon and lace, with becoming 
color in flowers or niches, can he worn with 
all suits. Two button kid gloves to match 
shade of your silk and lighter shades of kids 
lor your other suits, with ribbons to match. 
Embroidered white skills are worn. Veils 
are not required with bonnets. You should 
make known your " housekeeping” trials to 
“ Domestic Economy.” As you desire to 
make "home the dearest spot on earth,” let 
me suggest that you never allow yourself to 
overwork, as a tired, careworn face detracts 
more from the sweetness of “ home ” than a 
little wholesome disorder. 
Itliss’s Outfit. 
Mrs. P.—Make a jacket like sample of 
silk enclosed. An overskirt of dark blue 
Japanese silk would be pretty with it, and 
could be worn with white dresses. Her 
sashes will do another season. It is a little 
early to discuss summer clothing, but it is 
always safe to decide upon having a “ white 
suit.” Pique is very durable, and stiff and 
awkward; consequently, for growing gills, 
jaconet or linen lawn is preferable lor church 
suits. Make it, in length, a little below the 
tops of her boots, with a flounce of side 
plaiting on the bottom and a narrower one 
around the overskirt; Garibaldi waist and 
short sacque, or half-fitting sacque, to be 
held down with sash. I do not think she 
needs more than you mention. As you ride 
so far to church, a long duster of twenty-five 
cent, ecru linen would be found very ser¬ 
viceable. 
“ Fifteen Years Old.” 
Some one has asked for information about 
styles for dresses and suits for girls fifteen 
years old. They are precisely the same as 
for their mothers, in general effect. A favor¬ 
ite style of overskirt for young girls is cut. in 
five or six pieces, quite the shape of a full 
grown rose leaf or petal. Short, loose sacques, 
or belted down corsaques, are preferable to 
basques, of course; and their dresses button 
at the back. 
Overs liirl* 
are growing shorter, just meeting the trim¬ 
ming on the skirt, which raises ns high as 
the knee. The front is around, apron shape, 
the sides fulled to the front, and looped up 
at the back.

TO MAKE Aft OMELETTE 
It seems a pity that all housekeepers 
should not understand the art of making an 
omelette. Eggs are generally to be obtain¬ 
ed, and it is a dish prepared with very little 
trouble, and is consequently very convenient 
when unexpected company makes an addi¬ 
tion to the table desirable. There is no need 
of weighing, or measuring, or fussing, to 
make a simple omelette. 
Use four, five or six eggs, not more. If a 
greater quantity is needed, it is belter to 
make two. Break the eggs in a bowl, ad¬ 
ding salt—two or three pinches,—then beat 
willi a large spoon. It. is not necessary to 
beat, them light, as for cake. Put a lump 
of Imtter, about the size of a large hickory 
nut, into a small fryittg-pau, and melt it over 
a moderate fire; then quickly pour in the 
beaten egg, tipping the pun. There is quite 
a little secret, in this; if the egg covers Liu: 
bottom of tiie pan, you will have a kind of 
egg pancake, instead of a light, puffy ome¬ 
lette. Beside, it is apt to become too brown 
in spots. Do not, touch the top, but have 
ready in hand a broad bladcd knife with 
which to lift it, for if the fire is at all hot it 
will begin to cools immediately. Lift con¬ 
tinually with the knife, allowing the raw 
egg to run under. When it ceases to run, 
which will be in three or four minutes, the 
omelette is done, and should be quickly 
doubled together, like a turn-over, and put 
on a platter. 
For a Veal Omelette, add veal which lias 
been cooked. For a Ham Omelette, ham, 
raw or cooked, may be used ; but meat 
added to an omelette should always be 
chopped fine. A Farmer’s Wife.

ODDS AND ENDS. 
A Clienp Breakfast for Eight Persons. 
“ A good breakfast for eight persons for 
about a dime. Put half a pound of rice and 
half a pound of Scotch barley into one gal¬ 
lon of soft water; stew them gently for four 
hours. Then add four ounces of molasses 
and a little cinnamon; boil another half 
hour. This will produce eight pounds of 
good food.” 
The Scientific American comments on the 
above as follows: — The above quotation, 
clipped from a journal ostensibly devoted to 
the promotion of health, is a fair sample of 
the teaching of many of these pseudo-medi¬ 
cal publicat ions. The entire amount of solid 
matter contained in this “mess,” is twenty 
ounces, which gives each person of the eight 
two ounces of farinaceous food and one-half 
an ounce of molasses for a breakfast. The 
writer of this recipe ought to bo made to 
take three meals per diem of his “pap” for 
three weeks. If at the end of that time he 
should retain strength to write another, we 
will concede that six ounces of mixed rice 
and barley and an ounce and one-half of mo¬ 
lasses, are a liberal day’s rations for an adult. 
To Sweden Frowy Rutter. 
A correspondent of the New England 
Farmer says sweet or sour milk will sweeten 
frowy butter much better than salt or salt¬ 
peter. There is nothing which absorbs 
smell or taste so quickly as milk, cream or 
butter; and there is no agent so desirable to 
use iu extracting the wooden taste from all 
new utensils. A churn can have the taste 
of wood wholly taken out by It.

FILTERING CISTERNS. 
We have on file several inquiries, from 
correspondents of the Rural New-Yorker, 
asking how to construct cisterns with filters. 
Alfred Bicknell lias contributed the fol¬ 
lowing article to the Scientific American, (to 
tlio courtesy of whose Editors we arc in¬ 
debted for the illustration,) 
which we transfer to our col¬ 
umns. He says: 
To obtain the best water at 
all times, it is not enough that 
the water be well filtered. To 
illustrate:—A cistern of 2,000 
gallons is filled. After some 
weeks of continued dry weath¬ 
er, the amount is reduced to, 
say, 1,000 gallons, at which 
time the quality of the water 
will have sensibly improved. 
A shower occurs, pouring into 
the cistern, say, BOO gallons. 
The 1,000 gallons is violently 
mixed with the newly fallen 
rain, and the result is, the 
quality of the water is injured 
for a lime, or iinlil sufficient 
time has elapsed to allow It to settle again. 
Again, the process of filtration cannot 
properly be accomplished in the short time 
allowed by some devices. Water should be 
filtered very slowly. 
Then, every filtering apparatus should be 
cleaned out, and all the materials employed 
thoroughly washed or renewed regularly 
and somewhat frequently, ns required by the 
character of the roof and the situation of the 
house, ns regards smoke, cinders, dust, etc. 
To accomplish the best results, I would 
construct a cistern of requisite capacity, 
above the bottom of the cellar, into which 
all the water from the roof should be turned. 
Another cistern of equal capacity, of what 
is known as the “jug” pattern, should be 
built below the cellar bottom, having a neck 
of proper size extending slightly above, and 
kept closed by a tight cover. Between the 
two cisterns, construct a box of wood or 
bricks, say six to ten feet long, and twelve 
to sixteen inches square, with partitions al¬ 
ternately extending nearly to the lop and 
bottom, ns shown. Fill Ibis box with the 
proper filtering materials; broken stone, 
well washed coarse and finegrs'v! andsnnd, 
charcoal, and, finally, at the outlet, fine 
sponge. 
The stream of water from the receiving 
cistern should ho very small, say onc-qiiurtor 
inch in diameter, which, entering the box at 
one end, would gently percolate through tlie 
mass of filtering materials, and by a small 
block tin pipe, be conveyed to the bottom of 
the lower cistern, from which it would be 
pumped as wanted. The flow would be con¬ 
stant, or until the upper cistern was emptied. 
This box should also be kept closed by a 
tight cover, which, when lifted, would allow 
ready access to remove all the filtering ma¬ 
terials, to he washed and returned, or, what 
is belter, to be replaced by clean, fresh 
materials. 
The bottom of the upper cistern should be 
concave, connecting by a pipe and stop-cock 
with the drain. Occasionally, when nearly 
exhausted, it could lie easily and thoroughly 
cleaned and rinsed out, the sediment and 
dirty water escaping by the drain. The 
bottom of the lower cistern should also be 
concave, and at intervals the pipe between 
the two cisterns should be closed, to allow 
the lower one to become exhausted in order 
to cleanse that also. 
The upper cistern should be covered by a 
brick arch, or by matched pine plank, made 
perfectly tight. Otherwise the evaporation 
from such a body of water will be injurious 
to both structure and inmates. 
The device of making a filter by a brick 
partition, or well in the cistern, drawing the 
water from the side opposite the ingress pipe, 
is quite effectual for a time, A little reflec¬ 
tion, however, will show that the sediment 
taken from the water remains; either in the 
pores of the brick, or in the form of a coat¬ 
ing on the surface; and that, after a time, it 
will vitiate its purpose, and become compar¬ 
atively inoperative and useless. 
The objection to the system shown is the 
increased expense; and those parties obliged 
to depend upon a rain water supply, and 
who, from necessity or choice, prefer the 
cheapest article, when first cost alone is con¬ 
sidered, will not adopt it; but in many places 
in the country, where persons want perma¬ 
nently pure water, even if obtained at a 
greater expense, I think no belter arrange¬ 
ment has been devised. 
The principal value of a filler depends 
upon keeping it. clean; and to continue to 
use water, month after month, after the 
filtering materials have become foul, is not 
consistent with our ideas of cleanliness, and 
is positively injurious. 
The cistern from which the water is used 
bciug at a distance below the cellar bottom, 
the water is kept sufficiently cool, even in 
hot weather, to be very palatable. 
Some persons, not using a filter, adopt the 
expedient of having two cisterns ou the 
same level, both connected with the pump, 
using from each alternately as the other be¬ 
comes exhausted. This arrangement is a 
great improvement upon a single cistern, 
hub will not compare with two, arranged as 
shown in the sketch. 
The cost of two fust-class cisterns, of 2,000 
gallons capacity each, with filter constructed

E. A. KrEiiL writes the Rural World :—“ I

the same in an oven, the beat evaporating 
the nicotine, and leaving the tobacco mild 
without destroying the flavor, as is the case 
when soaked in water.”

IUotli on the Face. 
A correspondent at Greensburgh, Pa., 
writes that he had a blotch of moth on his 
forehead, and a Homeopathic physician 
gave him a liquid preparation which re¬ 
moved it effectually in less than a week. 
He thinks any well educated physician of 
that school can prescribe the remedy. Our 
correspondent lias not got the prescription.

Mrs. O. Colt writes:—“The following 
mixture is safe to give children. It is sim¬ 
ple, but I like it:—Take onions, slice thin, 
and sprinkle loaf sugar thickly over them; 
put in the oven, and simmer until the juice 
is thoroughly mixed with sugar. It makes 
a thick simp, very nice. Give a teaspoon¬ 
ful as seems to bo needed, four or five times 
a day.” _ 
A true in tlio Bi'casl. 
My recipe is excellent, and has been used 
by my mother, and by her given to others 
for many years. I know by experience how 
excellent it is:—Take one part gum cam¬ 
phor, two parts yellow beeswax, three parts 
clean lard ; let all melt doirhp in any vessel, 
(earthen best,) on stove. Use either cold or 
warm; spread very thinly on cotton or 
linen cloths, covering those with flannel. 
No matter if the breast is broken, it will 
cure if persevered in. Do not, no matter 
how painful, cease from drawing milk from 
the breast that is affected. 
This recipe is excellent to be used in any 
stage of the disease. It is also useful for 
burns, and any wound which is aggravated 
from taking cold in it. The salve should be 
the consistency of firm lard, when cold, so 
that it. may be easily spread ; mother gener- 
erally takes one ounce of camphor and 
other things iu proportion ; if too hard from 
too much beeswax, add a little more lard.—
