®t*M, plants &c 
edges were fastened underneath with strong 
wrapping twine. In a very short time I had 
at least five good, tidy, comfortable chairs, at 
a trifling expense, and they lasted for half a 
dozen years. Cane seated chairs are often 
renewed and made quite handsome by tacking 
on Brussels carpet., with bright headed nails.” 
Mrs. N. usually washes on Monday; but, 
about five times out of six, the clothes hang 
upon the line during four or five days, whip¬ 
ping in the wiud, and as the line is seldom 
straight, they must drag upon the ground. 
As a result, her clothes are frayed at the 
edges, and worn out in half the time they 
would last with proper care. 
Mrs. Conomy insists upon having a line 
raised so far from the ground that there is not 
the remotest chance of a sleeve or hem of a 
garment touching even a shrub ; and if the 
wind whispers of a coming gale, the clothes 
are put into the clothes-basket or rinse tub to 
await more favorable weather, which is sure 
to come ere the clothes receive harm from 
close confinement.

SEA PIE. 
Two pounds lean meat cut small. Put a 
layer of this meat iu the bottom of the sauce¬ 
pan ; slice a layer of onions, carrot and tur¬ 
nip; add savory, sprinkle with pepper and 
salt; add nearly as much water as will cover, 
and boil one hour over a slow fire. Then 
make a paste of three-quarters pound flour 
to one-half pound of suet, a teaspoonful of 
baking powder. Cover over the stew with 
this paste, and simmer half an hour longer. 
It is appetizing if not elegant. I should omit 
the carrot and turnip. 
The baking powder we purchase in pack¬ 
ages is said to be composed of equal parts 
soda and corn-starch to half the quantity of 
tartaric acid. 
GROUND RICE PUDDING. 
Soak one teacupful of ground rice for an 
hour in milk. Put on the Are in a saucepan a 
pint of milk, with sugar to taste, and a trifle 
of salt. When hot stir in the soaked rice and 
continue to stir till boiled rather thick. Beat 
up two eggs with a little cold milk, add flavor¬ 
ing, and mix. Babe slowly till browned. 
CHICKEN BROTH. 
Cut up a fowl and crack the bones. Boil 
slowly in a little over a quart of water. 
Wheu the bones can be taken out take out the 
meat and strain the liquid which may have 
needed a little more water. Add two table¬ 
spoonfuls of rice wnich has been previously 
soaked and a little chopped parsley. Simmer 
till the rice is cooked. Season moderately 
and serve with a little broken cracker in it.

napkin; butter dishes. 
Dear me, I am getting nervous. Why 
don’t Annie L. Jack set her table with cup 
plates. And as she must have learned ere 
this that it is not those that talk bsst who do 
the best, so do Dot put napkins that are easily 
spoilt on the table for any one. 1 saw in the 
Rural last Summer that some one recom¬ 
mended scouring the butter utensils with 
white saud. I should advise securing with 
rushes, as then the w'ood is left smooth and 
without any grit. A. A. C. Colic.
