not desired. “ What does this mean gentle¬

spokesman, with some hesitation, “the people 
have got the impression that you are Inclined to

the doctor. “I never have preached that doctrine;

CONDUCTED BY EMILY MAPLE. 
THE KITCHEN CLUB TALK - 11 WASHING.” 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
It is a week since the Kitchen Club met at 
“Every-Day House” to discuss the all-impor¬ 
tant subject of washing, which was suggested 
to us by the elaborate fifty-dollar machine we 
had examined at the residence of Mrs. Horatio 
Hnpperton, at our last meeting. There was 
no doubt it did its work well, was a saving of 
time and labor, but not eveiy one among our 
members felt able to afford the money it e 06 t 
or the space it occupied, all not having a separ¬ 
ate laundry room. So we agreed to discuss 
the. subject from our different standpoint. 
Miss McGreggor did not believe in washing- 
soda, which was sure to make the clothes 
yellow. She advised a mixture of two pounds 
of soap dissolved in live gallons of hot water, 
three tablespoonsful of liquid ammonia, and 
one of turpentine. This, well beaten together, 
and the clothes left in for three hours (beiug 
previously soaked over-night in cold water) 
will save time, wear and rubbiug. She told 
us that her first movement on washing morn¬ 
ings was to take the clothes from the water in 
which they were soaked, and put them into 
this preparation; the tub is covered, and by 
the time breakfast is over they are ready for 
their boil aud fiual washing. 
Mrs. Chapman believed in thu old-fashioned 
wash-board and plenty of clean, soft water, 
She found, however, a wringer of great ser¬ 
vice and a saving to the strain on the wrists 
besides doiDg the work more thoroughly than 
it could be done by hand. The minister’s pale 
little wife, with a half-repiessed sigh, wished 
there were better inventions for ironing 
starched clothes, and a young Miss who was 
said to be engaged to ouj of the students of a 
well-known theological college, covered her¬ 
self with confusion and glory by remarking 
that she “ did not 6ee why ministers should 
have any law that compelled them to wear 
white neckties more than other men,” at which 
some oi the wiser ones smiled. 
We had been silting iu the maple avenue all 
the time aud at this point the amateur laundry- 
maid came forward aud invited us iu to the 
kitchen to see the operation of washing per¬ 
formed by our new machine. It is called the 
Bobbin's Washer and only weighs five pounds, 
is eight inches long, five wide and oue aud 
three-fourths deep. It was placed iu position iu 
a ilat-bottomed boiler and soou commenced to 
throw out from the dischaige-pipe a stream 
of water over the clothes at the rate of eight 
gallons a uiiuute. We put in a quarter of a 
pound of soap aud a piece of borax the size of 
a hazel-nut. The clothes boiled twenty min¬ 
utes and several of the members, after they 
were taken out, tried how easily the fin¬ 
ishing process was gone through of washing 
out and turning. Then with the aid of a 
wringer the rinsing is made easy. My “ wash¬ 
er " has proved very valuable this season, and 
saved ns many a weary rubbiug, proving a 
veritable good fairy. It pleased the members 
to see the process, and yet so grasping is 
woman's nature for something more, that we 
parted after tea echoing the minister’s little 
wife’s wish for “ something to iron starched 
clothes.” 
KEEPING CANNED FRUIT. 
I prefer the late, yellow peach—fill glass cans, 
cover with the cooled sirup, lay on the tops 
but do not tighten, set into a boiler of cold 
water, bring to the boiling point, note the time 
and boil 20 minutes. Remove and make air¬ 
tight. 
Tomato CaUup. 
Wash and wipe (this to prevent the addition 
of any liquid) oDe bushel of just ripe tomatoes, 
cut into pieces and put over the fire to heat. 
When cooked sufficiently to strain put through 
a fine sieve. Allow two ounces each of whole 
black pepper, cloves and allspice—then tie in 
a thin muslin bag—add one ounce each of 
ground mace and cinnamon, a teaspoonful of 
cayenne pepper and a cupful and a half of salt, 
stirring the ground spice into the tomatoes. 
Boil until reduced a little more than one-third. 
I cannot specify the time required to boil 
down, because it varies with the quality of the 
tomatoes. When cold, bottle and tie down the 
corks. Mrs. E. Snedeker. 
DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
Japan Quince Fruit. 
It iB said that the fruit of the flowering Japan 
quince—Cydonia Japonica—readily produces 
a firm jelly of fine flavor, and that baked or 
stewed by itself it is very palatable and 
is also useful to flavor other cooked fruits. 
We have for many years gathered this fruit lay¬ 
ing it away in our chest-of-drawers for the sake 
of its pleasant, aromatic odor, but this is the 
first we have learned of its being used for cul¬ 
inary purposes. 
Making Cotton Fabrics Fireproof. 
Dr. Kedzie states that cotton clothing could 
be prevented from burning with a blaze by the 
use of borax in starching. A teaspoonful to 
each pint of made starch is the quantity to be 
used. It was shown by experiments that the 
most inflammable of cotton goods, when 
treated with borax-starch could not be made 
to burn with a blaze. This is a simple ex¬ 
periment and one that any laundress can try 
for herself and prove whether the starching 
of all cotton clothing in this preparation 
would not be likely to save life and suffering 
by its use. 
QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
Coloring Pickles and Sweets Green. 
Is there any harmless substance that will 
color pickles, ice-cream, etc., green ? 
Mrs, J. J. 
Ans. —The following green coloring extract 
is said to be destitute of any poisoning proper¬ 
ties: Dissolve five grains of saffron in one- 
fourth ounce of distilled water, and in another 
dish dissolve four grains indigo carmine in 
one-halt ounce distilled water. After mixing 
thoroughly let staud 24 hours, then put togeth¬ 
er, and the result will be a green solution cap¬ 
able of coloring four or five pounds of sugar. 
To Restore Old Tea-Trays. 
Our trays have become sadly worn. What 
cau we do with them? m. l. 
Ans —Wash them thoroughly with soap, 
water and a little pumice-stone. Wipe and 
dry before the fire. Procure good copal var¬ 
nish, mix, with it some bronze powder and 
apply with a brush. Put the trays into an oven 
at a heat of 212 deg. to 300 deg. until the var¬ 
nish is dry. Two coats will make them look 
very like new.

I have just opened an overlooked can of 
peaches which was not less than six years

limit to the keeping of properly canned fruit ? 
And as regards keeping in tin, is there any 
proof whatever that acid fruits in air-tight 
cans ever act upon the metal ? I took partic¬ 
ular notice in regard to this point, and found 
that there was not the s'ightest evidence to the 
taste, iu these peaches, of the presence of any 
metallic salts, nor was there the least corrosion 
of the inside of the can, either of the tin or the 
solder. And yet I see it frequently stated that 
“ acid fruit will not be healthful if preserved in 
tin.” Asappliod to air-tight tins, I believe this 
to be an error. T. H. Hoskins, M.D.
