In the morning wring out the clothes and soap and put on to boil. The water in the boiler must be cold when the clothes are put in. Boil thoroughly. Rinse well in two waters ; add a little bluing to the last water. It is not necessary to soak the clothes over night ; good results may be ob- tained by the following method : Put enough cold wafer in the boiler to cover the clothes ; add a cupful of the fluid and a little soap. Before putting in the clothes soap all the soiled spots.

They were considered then as rank poison, unfit for the proud position they now occupy on the table. Even after that belief was disproved, they were widely suspected of being the subtle cause of cancer, and their popularity suffered not a little thereby. But now they are recognized as one of the chief of vegetables, and new ways of pre- paring them are being constantly devised by knowing Cooks. To make “ tomato eggs" out three or four good sized and not too ripe tomatoes into halves. Take out alittle of the inside; lay them in a pan containing two ounces of heated butter, and fry them lightly. When nearly done carefully drop a raw egg from the shell into each tomato; watch till it has set perfectly, and than take each one separately from the pan and lay it on a slice of buttered toast out to the size of the fruit. Dust over them a little coralline pepper, and sprinkle a little finely grated ham on the white of each egg. Serve on a hot dish, and garnish with the leaves of the tomato. Here is another way of making a dish that will be a feast to the eye as well as to the palate : At the blossom end of six ripe tomatoes make a small hole of sufficient size to hold a dice-shaped piece of butter that has been dipped in pepper, salt, and grated nutmeg (mixed). Place them in a cup- sliaped mushroom, previously soused in heated butter and slightly dusted with pepper. and set them in an oven to cook. Take the soft roes from six bloaters, season them with oil and pepper, curl them round, and grill quickly on buttered paper over a clear lire. \Vhen the tomatoes and mushrooms are cooked remove them from the oven and place a roe on each one. Round the whole pour a gill of ham coulis. To make tomato fritters, boil, peel and pound to a. pulp four tomatoes. Beat this pulp up with the yolks of four eggs and the whites of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of cream and the same quantifly of white wine, season with a little grate nutmeg and a A Baggy Bearoom- dash of cinnamon.

Drain on kitchen paper and To Make a Good Starchâ€"Two ounces of a teacup of water. ' Take three teacupfuls of any good starch, moisten and rub very smooth and mix with the borax and wax, a little at a time until it is all smooth. Spread on a platter to dryâ€"keep in a box. Wash and dry the shirts, collars and cuffs Without starching. When ready to iron take the same quantity of this preparation as you would of common starch to make cold starch. Use luke-warm water instead of cold water. Rub the starch in thoroughly. Do not spread a cloth over the garment. The shirts may be ironed immediately if desired. Cement. â€"â€"-Mix together litharge and glycerine to the consistency of thick cream or fresh putty. This cement is useful for mending stone jars or earthenware, stop- ping leaks in seams of tin pans or wain boiler, or cracks and holes in iron kettles, etc. The article mended should not be used until the cement has hardened. This cement will resist the action of hot or cold water, acid and heat. To Take Out Mildewâ€"Rub on soft soap and salt. Expose to the sun. Repeat if necessary.

It is not generally known that Queen Victoria eats very little, if any, ordinary bread, preferring in lieu of the orthodox “staff of life” what the Italians called grisini. Gen. Lord Wolseley before he would ac- cept a peerage stipulated that the title should descend to his only child, Francis Wolseley. The favor is one seldom granted to the English nobility. The late Prof. Morse made love by light- ning, as it were. He met his first wife i during an evening call at the house of her father and proposed marriage to her before he went away that night. James Gordon Bennett is said [)0 have ac- quired such a distaste for coaching since his narrow escape from death by being thrown from a drag in Paris that he or- deredhis whole coaching establishment sold at auction. x Dr. Schliemanii’s facility in languages is noted by the author of an appreciative ar- ticle iii “ The Atlantic.” He describes the archaeologist as carrying his part, at his own table, in three concurrent conversa- tions in as many tongues. Prince Krapotkin, who will visit this country in the fall, is, despite his noble birth, one of the most active nihilists in Europe and a bosom friend of Stepniak. The prince is a man of profound learning and stands high as a scientist. Archibald Clavering Gunter, the author of “Mr. Barnes of New York” and kindred works of fiction, is making hay. while the sun shines. He is reported as saying frank- ly : “I don’t believe people will read my truck much longer, and I am going to load them up while they want it.” Mr. Carnot, the President of the French Republic, has been unable to entertain dur- l ing the past winter on account of his poor health. He has decided to devote the sum of$l0,000, representing in part the sum he otherwise would have spent on entertain- ments, to charitableLinstitutions and gifts to the Door. Jerome K. Jerome, whose popularity does not wane, and who continues one of the most entertaining of writers, had been in all sorts of professions, , including a brief experience upon the stage, before he settled into literary work and became famous.

With international arbitration, says the London Spectator, we confess to having com- paratively little sympathy. If nations mean to fight, nothing will prevent their so doing, and agreements to arbitrate will be of very little service. The suggestion of an agreement between England and the Unit- ed States ioestablish a permanent machinr cry for regulating their disputes is, how- ever, quite different. Nations in whom the same radical characteristics are to be found, who are influenced by the same ideas. who talk the same language, read the same books and possess the same political traditions, are capable of making, an agreement to settle disputes by arbitration a reality. Again an agreement not to fight till the question in dispute has been referred to a body exercis- ing the functions of a court of'law is a step in the direction of that alliance between the United States and England which, we trust and believe, is the destiny of the two countries. If we begin by an acknowledg- ment that we are not in the position of for- eign powersâ€"i3. e. liable to war at any mo- mentâ€"-we may soon rise to, definite race al- liance, and, lastly, to that declarationof a common citizenship which would prevent any Englishman from being an alien in America, or any American being an alien in England, and would heal the breach in the unity of the race caused by the folly of George III and his Ministers.‘ Be Knew Bis Business.
