I take two tablespoonfuls of starch, then make 
a pint of suds with white soap, and after dis¬ 
solving the starch, put half the suds with it. 
After dipping them in the starch and wring¬ 
ing out, dip into the suds and squeeze dry. 
I rub my irons with beeswax, and wipe clean 
so do not dread the ironing, as once E did.” 
It is always pleasant to learn how others 
have overcome difficulties, and that is the par¬ 
ticular use we find for this department of the 
paper—an interchange of ideas given to help 
each other. If I called on you, and found an 
extra-nice cake for tea, ten to one you would 
offer me the recipe. I f I told you I bad trouble 
i n a certain department of housekeeping, I 
know it is in woman’s helpful nature to give 
me the benefit of her experience, that may 
lead to an easier method. And if there is 
nothing else we can do well, we can set an ex¬ 
ample of cheerful submission. No matter what 
our duties may lie, there are others that have 
heavier cares and greater trials. Let us be 
thankful, therefore, and if our lines are cast 
in pleasant places we can all the better help 
those whose way is rough and thorny. It is 
txot overwork that kills; it is not the round of 
daily toil, so much as the constant fretting 
against work that Is distasteful. I know a 
young girl whose daily toil was severe, who 
had to assist a younger brother and feeble 
father iu a 11 the details of their farm. She loved 
them, but chafed against- the labor, and with 
artistic tastes felt herself a slave. A frightful 
steamboat accideut killed the young brother, 
at her side, the farm is now sold, the mother 
died lately of sheer grief. The daughter is 
now at liberty to indulge her love for art, to 
study, But the former life looks happy in the 
past; work is nothing to the wearing grief aud 
sorrow that are hers. Oh, weary heart, try to 
see and accept the joy of the present, and 
make the best of life.

many easily prepared soups. The ingredi¬ 
ents are four pounds of shin of beef, any bones 
or trimmings of other meat; two large onions, 
each stuck with cloves; half a teaspoouful of 
pepper; a head of celery; three carrots; salt 
and mace and quarts of cold water. Cut 
up the meat, put in all the ingredients together 
and stew in a covered pan for four hours. Do 
not let It boil quickly, as that hardens the con¬ 
tents. Remove scum as it rises, and strain 
through a fine sieve. It will be found strong 
enough for all purposes. mrh. barnes. 
MOUS8EI.INE PODDING. 
Take four ounces of sugar, four of butter, the 
rind of one lemon aud the juice of two, with the 
yelks of ten eggs to be mixed in a sauce pan 
and stirred on a slow tire. Strain the mixture 
aud pour among it the whites of the eggs, after 
whisking them to a froth. Place in a mold 
aud steam for half an hour. Serve with jam, 
or sauce.

Fear of discovery, when sin? reso;\s to 
false hair and dyes, is a, source of con¬ 
stant anxiety to her. The very persons 
from whom she most desires to hide tin 
waning of her charms arc the ones most 
likely to make the discovery. But there 
is no reason why she should not regain 
and retain all the beauty of hair that wa. 
her pride in youth. Let her use Avicit’a 
Hair \ tool?, and. not only will her hair 
cease to fall out, hut a new growth will 
appear where the scalp has been denuded; 
ami locks that arc turning grav, or have 
actually grown white, will return to their 
pristine freshness and brilliance of eoloi.

I have discarded the old proportion of a 
pound of sugar to a pint of juice as too sweet 
to be wholesome. The berries are put into a 
porcelain kettle after being squeezed through 
the jelly bag and a quarter of a pound of sugar 
is used to the pint. 1 stir it till the sugar is dis¬ 
solved and boil it from 20 minutes to half an 
hour, when it will usually jell, and be acid 
enough to be pleasant. Leave uncovered till

iug we will boil some potatoes, aud fry some 
ham, which you will fiud in ajar down cellar 
on the broad shelf. It is packed in lard, aud 
will only need thoroughly heating, as it was 
cooked about all that was necessary' before it 
was put in the jar; pickles or lettuce, bread 
and batter; some of those cream doughnuts 
made to-day, aud coffee. Clean the potatoes 
to-uight, and throw them iuto some fresh, 
cold water, and when you put them over to 
cook in the morning, put a good spoonful of 
salt into the water, and lie sure vou draiu 
them as soon as you eau pierce them with a 
fork. If you can get them cooked just right, 
they will go to the table white, dry aud mealy. 
That tills the bill for a good substantial break¬ 
fast for meu who are working iu the harvest

Cousin Mary says their family' breakfast in 
Hummer time, consists of nicely cooked po¬ 
tatoes, seasoned with butter or cream gravy’; 
bread, cake or cookies; fresh berries or can¬ 
ned fruit, with eggs cooked in a variety of 
ways to make changes in the programme. 
Sometimes they are fried in butter or ham 
drippings: occasionally they are broken into 
boiling water and cooked to suit the taste as 
nearly as possible and then laid ou well but¬ 
tered, soft toast. Often they are made into 
quick custards by; beating up four eggs with 
u spoonful of sugar iu a three-pint basin, fill¬ 
ing the dish with milk, then setting it in a 
steamer over a kettle of boiling water; if 
closely covered it will cook about as soon as 
the potatoes. Eggs can be cooked iu so many 
nice ways to break up the monotony of the 
bre kfast table. Then we often make a bowl 
of cottage cheese. When we are skimming 
A GOOD WAY TO CAN SWEET CORN. 
Cut enough corn to till two cans, which will 
require three-quarts or more, as no water or 
anything else is added to it; place over a mod¬ 
erate fire and cook, stirring all the time to 
prevent scorching. Have your cans ready to 
fill liefore putting the corn over the fire. Cook 
tt till the juice has evaporated, stirring well 
so as not to scorch, aud cook all parts alike. 
Then can while hot. seal up, and if done by a 
careful hand the nicest kind of sweet corn may 
lie had, When wanted for use, take out aud 
add water, and carefully cook a short time 
and season with milk, cream or butter.

Angie Pearson asks about "bottling” fruit. 
Ans. —Some prefer the fruit put up in wide- 
mouthed bottles without sugur, but it is a 
doubtful method, sometimes successful while 
in other years the same method proves useless. 
The fruit is put into the bottles dry; they are 
set into u boiler full of cold water which is 
gradually heated: when the fruit is cooked, one 
or more botttes are used to fill up the rest. 
They must be full and then sealed. 
Sufferer has a sprained wrist and asks a 
remedy. 
Ans.—W e kuow of many liniments used for 
this purpose, that “he who runsmay” read, but 
one easily obtained by our Rural readers is a 
decoction of freshly gathered wormwood and 
vinegar. Take also some of the leaves, bruise, 
wot with vinegar, and bind over the jiart 
affected. 
M. E. B. asks if the Primroses sold.by florists, 
chiefly pink aud white, are those the English 
poets mention so often. 
Ans. —No; the flower mentioned is the wild 
Primrose, of a j«ie straw color, that lives in 
the fields aud hedge rows of England. It is 
very sweet and of a delicate fragrance not re¬ 
sembling the Chinese Primrose of the florist 
except in shape of leaf and flower.
