OUR THANKSGIVING- DINNER. 
After deciding upon what w© should 
have for our Thanksgiving dinner, we aban¬ 
doned the whole scheme, and declared we 
should have none of it. One said he was 
sick for 11 1 rec weeks from trying to do jus¬ 
tice to last Thanksgiving's goodies, and in 
order to feel duly thankful this time, he 
needed to fast, or at least eat temperately. 
Another wanted to go to church ; a third 
said she didn’t sec any gratitude manifested 
in ft season of feasting. It was heathenish 
and behind the age ; after hearing the opin¬ 
ions of the entire family wc resolved our¬ 
selves into a committee of the whole, and 
made a “ new departure.” All this hap¬ 
pened a year ago, and we had the happiest, 
gladdest, wholesomcst Thanksgiving iu nil 
the country. 
We did not fast. But we had n simple, 
easily prepared dinner, and a great deal of it. 
Half the poor children in the neighborhood 
dined with us, and after the eating we had 
wlmt Charlie termed a “ jollification.” The 
men and women told stories, the. girls played 
and everybody sang. There were pleasant 
games, and after everybody were tired we 
nil sat down in a circle about the fire, and 
each one in turn—children and all—told 
what lie or she had to he thankful for. It 
wns funny and pathetic, too. One poor, 
young thing, who had been ill a long lime,a 
poor, crippled sufferer, and who seemed to 
have 60 little to he thankful for, outvied all 
of us in her catalogue of grateful feelings. 
When the last one had finished a good man 
prayed; then the big wagon was driven to 
the door, and our poor little guests were car¬ 
ried to their homes. 
They may have been thankful all the 
year for that one bright day. It is true that 
no one can honor Cod more than in making 
human souls happy,for wclove Him in pro¬ 
portion as we love our fellow creatures. 
On this Thanksgiving many souls will 
feel thankful for house and home, for shelter 
ami clothing, be they ever so homely. The 
terrible conflagrations in the West, despoil¬ 
ing so many happy firesides, have reminded 
us of the preciousness of our own. But it is 
not for peace, ami home, and health and 
prosperity, and sowing machines, and clothes 
wringers, that the truly thoughtful woman 
is so thankful after nil. There is another 
side to life, to which these comforts indi¬ 
rectly minister, but which is above and in¬ 
dependent of them. It is that which makes 
her as happy in a cot as in a palace. And 
she who is in such wise happy, has much to 
thank God for and call all days Thanks¬ 
givings. _^_ 
CONTRIBUTED RECIPES. 
dirty clothes ten minutes, but no longer, as 
it is apt to give them a very yellow tinge. 
Should the wristbands, or other parts that 
are very dirty, require a little rubbing, it 
should bo done with the hands before the 
water in the wash-kettle gets very hot. In 
using this compound all the tine clothes 
should be gone through with first, as col¬ 
ored or very dirty clothes should not he 
washed with those of liner fabric containing 
loss dirt, for the water must of course par¬ 
take more or less of their contents, which 
would render dingy the line clothes. The 
same water that has been used for the finer 
clothes a vill also do for the coarser. Whop 
water is added to the wash-kettle, a propor¬ 
tionate amount of the compound must also 
he added. Follow the above directions care¬ 
fully ; satisfaction is guaranteed.

Friend JIoore: — Some person asked 
through your paper, in May or June last, 
for a recipe for seasoning sausage. I have 
not seen any reply. I did not send my for¬ 
mula at the time, as l thought if I did it 
would be forgotten before the season came 
around for making the article among fann¬ 
ers. But as the “ hog killing time” is now 
near at. hand I send it for your useful sheet. 
meat cutler, spread it out in any convenient 
vessel, then weigh out ten ounces of salt, 
four ounces of pepper and five of sage, pul¬ 
verized ; sprinkle this over your meat and 
then mix it in a little; then pass it. through 
your cutler, and all is right. Then put up 
as you choose; or, if you wish, you may use 
summer savory, or you may transpose the 
pepper and sage, according to quantity. I 
have used this formula twenty years, and 
wish no other. I suppose any novice will 
know that this preparation will answer for 
a greater or lesser quantity. If any one has 
a bettor recipe let them give it.—J. M. West- 
cott, Editor of Dundee Record .

Preparation of llmiccutvil Vegetables. 
The American Artisan says:—“ A con¬ 
venient method of preparing desiccated vege¬ 
tables, as practiced largely in some countries, 
consists ill drying them for a short time and 
then exposing them to a slow boat in ovens. 
When soaked lor cooking, peas, roots, pota¬ 
toes, beets, corn and other substances, swell 
out and show very little change in their 
esculent, properties. A modification of the 
process consists in placing the substances, 
after being sun-dried, in paper bags, which 
aru pasted up at the mouth, and Hum cover¬ 
ed with garni and heated until perfectly crisp, 
hut not burned nor materially changed in 
color.”

ODDS AND ENDS. 
Washing Compound. 
Please fmfl inclosed a recipe fur making 
ami using a washing compound dint Inis 
been used hereabouts for over two years. 
The recipe was given my brother, who gave 
it to me, an i 1 send it to you.— Mrs. B. C. 1). 
Recipe :—Take one pound pure concen¬ 
trated potash and one pound sal soda; put. 
these in three gallons of soft water. Boil 
until all is dissolved; then add three pounds 
of any kind of soap grease—the cleaner the 
hotter—and sot it lo boiling. This usually 
becomes bountiful white soap, after boiling 
from one to six hours. Keep about the 
same quantity of water in the kettle ns at 
first. After it becomes soap add two ounces 
aqua ammonia, one-half pound borax, one- 
quarter pound rosin, nine gallons soft water, 
and stir well together. When cool it will 
bo beautiful white soap, if the grease was 
clean. All the above-named ingredients 
should not cost above filly or seventy-five 
cents, and the quantity is sufficient to last 
au ordinary family a year. 
In some cases the lye may lie too strong ; 
in this case more water should lie added; 
and on the other hand, if not strong enough, 
simmer away. In this matter you must use 
your own judgment, and exercise some little 
skill, for the mixture will not. turn to soap 
unless the lye is somewhere near the proper 
strength. There is spurious potasli in the 
market, and should you be unfortunate 
enough lo get this article, you would fail in 
making the compound. 
The night before washing, put the clothes 
to soak in cold water. If the wristbands, 
collars, &c., are very dirty, it would be well 
to rub a little common soap on them, or put 
a small quantity of the compound in the 
water. Ia Lite morning, operations are com¬ 
menced by selling the wash-Ucttle on the 
stove or furnace. Into this put about two 
pounds (one quart) of the compound for 
©very ten gallons of water. Wring out the 
clothes from the cold water, and place them 
in the wash-kettle, and gradually raise the 
temperature of the water to a scalding point. 
stirring the clothes with a slick every few 
minutes. Drain them well, rinse twice in 
clear cold water, blue them if you wish, ami 
hang out to dry. It is well to buil very 
How Restore the Color of n Water-Proof. 
Can any of the Rural readers tell me 
how to restore the color in a gold mixed wa¬ 
ter-proof? I think the cotton has been coi¬ 
ned with copperas and the color has been 
changed from the original to a greenish col¬ 
or. Any one who can answer will greatly 
oblige—A Subscriber.

Spittoon*. 
Some housekeepers refuse outright to 
have spittoons in their houses. Their se¬ 
verity in the mailer is entirely pardonable, 
as the sight of thorn is never an agreeable 
one, no matter how fine the ruttpidore may 
be. One of the best devices in use is the 
encased spittoon, resembling a small otto¬ 
man or foot-rest. A spring near the bottom 
is pressed by the foot, which raises the cover 
and the withdrawal of it allows it to fall 
again. Spittoons in use require daily 
cleaning. 
Stepping on Chairs. 
Never step on a chair without first placing 
a newspaper on it. The trouble is slight 
and the saving is great.

For Curing Meat. 
The Germantown Telegraph gives the 
following:—To one gallon of water, take 
11.< lbs of salt, It), of sugar, oz. of salt¬ 
peter, Yi ° 7 - potash. 
In this ratio the pickle can he increased 
to any quantity desired. Bet these he boiled 
together until nil the dirt from the sugar 
rises lo the top and is skimmed off. Then 
throw it into a tub to cool, and when cold, 
pour it over your beef or pork, to remain 
ilm usual time, say four or five weeks. The 
meat must, he well covered with pickle, and 
should not he pul down for at least t wo days 
after killing, (hiring Which time it. should be 
slightly sprinkled with powdered saltpeter, 
which removes all the surface-blood, vfec., 
leaving the meat fresh and clean. Some 
omit boiling the pickle, and find it to answer 
well, though the operation of boiling puri¬ 
fies the p'fckff: by throwing off the dirt al¬ 
ways to be found in salt ami sugar. If this 
j’ccipc is properly tried, it will never he 
abandoned. There is none that surpass it, 
if so good. 
How to ISll*i^^^ 'Fits. 
The Maryland Partner, gives til© follow¬ 
ing useful recipe for exterminating fleas:— 
“ Tim oil of pennyroyal will certainly drive 
these pests off; but a cheaper method, where 
the herb flourishes, is to throw your dogs 
and cats into a decoction of it. once a week. 
Mow the herb and scatter it in the beds of 
the pigs once a month. Where the herb 
coiniot he got, the oil may be procured In 
this cuse, saturate strings with it and tio 
them around the necks of dogs and cats, 
pour a little on the back and about the ears 
of hogs, which you can do while they arc 
feeding without touching them. By repeat¬ 
ing these applications every twelve or fifteen 
days, the fleas will tleo from your quadru¬ 
peds, to th mi’ relief and improvement, and 
to your relief and comfort, in Ihe house. 
Strings saturated with the oil of pennyroyal 
and tied around the neck and tail of horses 
will drive off lice; the strings should be 
saturated once a day.
