TIMELY HINTS FOR HOUSE KEEPERS — 
No. 1. 
MRS. L. P. ROBINSON. 
Before House-cleaning. 
As house-cleaning time rolls round, I can but 
reiterate the oft-repeated advice, ‘-Don't tear 
up the whole house at once; don’t rush things; 
don’t overtax your strength at first and then 
drag through the remainder halt sick, but go 
moderately about it.” 
Take some warm, sunny day and begin with 
the garret. Once a year—and spring is the 
most convenient time—overhaul every bag and 
basket, every box and barrel, unrolling and 
shaking out the conteuts of each. Iu this way 
the accumulation of useless articles will be 
prevented and all moths destroyed. You will 
probably discover some garments that you had 
forgotten, that, with a little ingenuity, eau be 
made over for Jessie or John, and do nicely' 
for spring wear. Place all such articles to¬ 
gether in a basket to bo conveyed to your sew¬ 
ing room, so that when an opportunity pre¬ 
sents itself they may be at hand, aud so pre¬ 
vent delay in hunting them up. 
You will find good cleaning cloths, both cot¬ 
ton and woolen, and these should be laid in 
some convenient place. You will look Into 
your carpet-rag barrel, fastening the ends of 
the balls neatly and putting the uncut rags 
where they can be easily picked up, to be cut 
and sewed in odd moments ; they should all be 
sewed up once a year. My grandmother in¬ 
structed me in the art of cutting carpet-rags ; 
everything must be cut lengthwise, almost by 
a thread. I have since learned that it answers 
equally well to round the coiners of coarse, 
firm material, and cut around the whole piece, 
leaving it in one length from begiumng to end. 
In this way I can make a ball with but very 
little sewing. 
The paper rags must be assorted, the white 
ones kept carefully by themselves, and placed 
in readiness for the lag-man. 
The piece baskets should not be neglected, 
but subjected to the same scrutiny. The new 
remnants of worn-out cotton garments give to 
Jessie for her patch-work, the woolen scraps 
roll together, to be cut in narrow bias strips, 
and knit into a pretty hearth-rug at your leis¬ 
ure. Empty the box containing the dried 
fruit. Shake the bags and turn them wrong 
side out, or, what is better, have clean ones; 
then, after a careful examination, if no sign 
of worms be found, put them again in the bags. 
As apples are more liable to be affected than 
other fruits, it is safest to put them iu a drip¬ 
ping-pan lu the oven and heat them hot. 
Carry out aud destroy everything that you 
are sure cau be of no further use—things that 
will find their way into a garret, such as broken 
dishes, leaky lius, old dilapidated furniture, 
old boots and shoes. By the way, old leather 
makes a bright, hot fire, and is just the thing 
for a quick blaze in case of an emergency. 
All old carpeting or bedding should he hung 
out in Ihe wind, and the fur robes also, before 
packing them away in tanzy and ailanthus 
seeds or tobacco, to prevent the ravages of the 
ever-present moth. 
Some one has recommended—and I heartily 
indorse the suggestion—that every house 
should hold a trunk containing half-worn 
clothing, sheets and pillow-cases, in readiness 
for sickness. For this purpose a double-gowu, 
made of two calico dresses, might prove ser¬ 
viceable, as well as some 6ofi handkerchiefs, 
baudages and lint; also, plenty of linen, cotton 
and wooleu pieces. While overlooking the va¬ 
rious receptacles of such articles, it would be 
well to remember this timely hint, and collect 
them ugainet a time of need. 
After having accomplished so much, you will 
then bo prepared to clean in earnest, sweeping 
down the cobwebs as far as practicable, wash¬ 
ing the windows aud mopping up thelloor; 
theu, when the boxes, baskets aud barrels are 
once more in the corner, if you have worked 
according to the preceding suggestions, you 
can calmly rest upon your oars until the 
weather grows warmer, in full consciousness 
of having faithfully performed a most disagree¬ 
able task. 
-*-*_*- 
CANNING TOMATOES IN TIN. 
In the early days of our house-keeping we 
firmly resolved that all our fruit, tomatoes, 
etc., should be canned in glass, aud nothing 
else—fruit so preserved was so pure, could 
always be seen, admitted of no chance of be¬ 
coming poisonous, etc. Well, that resolve 
was persevered in fer the first five years, and 
In that time I do not think that we ever saved 
one-balf dozen cans of tomatoes. All other 
articles, except peas, kept well enough; hut 
the tomatoes would cither sour, or become 
tasteless, although they looked bright and 
fresh. 8ome one advised a change to Rock¬ 
ingham ware as the nearest approach to glass. 
That was tried with a little better result. Next 
stone-ware received a trial, but that also, 
sometimes failed. As a last resort tin wsb 
tried and since then no trouble is experienced. 
Our tomatoes are just as good as need be. 
Being very fond of them sliced we made an 
attempt to preserve them for ihat purpose for 
winter, during our last canning season. The 
tomatoes, Golden Trophies, were pared the 
same as apples without scalding, and cut iu 
thick slices into the cans, holding one quart or 
a little more each. The cans were theu placed 
on the stove and slowly healed through, no 
water was put with them, aod wbeu hot 
enough to raise steam the lids were pressed 
on and fastened down with putty. Those 
tomatoes were a treat to ns all through the 
winter. They came from the cans in whole 
slices and were eaten with vinegar, salt and 
pepper. Why any one should desire tomatoes 
to keep b-tier than they did in tin is a 
problem. M. F. M'Ci.oud.

DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
Orange Sherbet. 
Four quarts of water ; four pounds of granu- 
lated sugar, four beaten eggs, the juice and 
grated rinds of four oranges and juice of two 
lemons. Beat the sugar and eggs together, 
then add the water and grated rind. Freeze 
like ice cream. The strained juice of the 
oranges and lemons should not be added until 
the mixture begins to freeze. 
Strawberry Meringue. 
Make a good pie crust, roll out quite thin, 
cut out round as large as a pie plate and bake 
on a flat tin. Wheu a light-brown, take out, 
lay strawberries rolled in sugar over it, and 
cover with a meringue made of the whites of 
four eggs and four tablespoonsful of powdered 
sugar. Return to the oven and bake until the 
top is browned. Eat coli. 
Strawberry Ice-Cream. 
Three pints of thin cream, two pounds of 
powdered sugar and three pints of ripe straw¬ 
berries. Mash the fruit, strain through a fine 
wire strainer, add the cream and sugar and 
freeze as rapidly as possible. 
Excellent Lemon Pie. 
Two cups of granulated sugar, four eggs, 
two lemons, two and a half tablespoonsful 
of corn-starch, two tabespoonsful of butter, 
two cups of boiling water. Beat yelks very 
smooth, add the corn-starch, stir into the 
boiling water, add the sugar, juice, grated rind 
and butter. Let thicken over the back of the 
stove; then pour into pie-tins lined with good 
paste. Bake until you think the under crust 
is well browned. Beat the whites until a stiff 
froth, add four tablespoonsful of powdered 
sugar ; spread over the top and return to the 
oven until slightly browned. Mart B. 
Raspberry Shrub. 
Place red raspberries in a stone jar and cover 
with good, although not too strong, cider vine¬ 
gar, aud let stand over-night. In Ihe morning 
strain, and to each pint of this juice allow a 
pint of sugar. Boil 10 minutes, then bottle 
and seal at once. Mrs. C. 
Raspberry Vinegar. 
Fill a stone pot with raspberries, either red 
or black; cover with the best of vinegar; set 
in a cool place and let 6tand for a week. Strain 
the whole through a thin bag, crushing oat 
all ihe juice from the fruit. To each pint of 
this liquor add a pound aud a half of lump 
sugar ; boil until the sugar is dissolved; re¬ 
move any scum and take from the fire. When 
cool bottle and cork tightly. Two tablespoona- 
ful of this vinegar stirred into a tumbler of 
ice-water makes a most refreshing summer 
drink. Mrs. A. L. M. 
Pickled Cauliflower. 
Separate into Bmall clusters. Make a 
brine, briDg to a boil, skim, put the cauliflower 
into the boiling water and simmer five min¬ 
utes. Take out into a pan of very cold water. 
Prepare vinegar for pickling with mace, black 
and a little cayenne pepper, celery salt or seed 
and a few cloves. Pour over hot. a. p. 
Asparagus. 
It is much, better to roll up the bunches in 
muslin than to depend upon a string. Boil 
in salted water until very tender. Toast 
some slices of thin bread, dip into the water 
in which the asparagus was boiled, butter 
plentifully. Take up the asparagus and place 
upon the toast. Two or three tablespoonsful 
of melted butter may be turned over it and a 
little vinegar added, if liked.
