Show HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Mr. William Kedd'mgton,a butcher well known in this city, hands us the following recipe, clipped from an old ng,,P- wb'eb civs liio often, with ihc best of results: Get a tub nearly full of rain or creek water, put Iko thin pieces of wood across it. so.tk the meat about two hours in water to draw tho blood out, then put the meat on the wood about an inch from tho water. Heap as much bait as will stand on the meat and let it remain from twelve to twenty-four hours according to thickness of meat. You will find it as salt as if it had been in pickle lor weeks, the water having drawn the salt through the meat. Olive Logan criticises the mania among American women for expensive expen-sive siik dre.-sts. Even now, in tnese our limes of tightening of purse-strings, purse-strings, this heavy and costly fabric is almost in universal use, and it is nothing no-thing uncommon to see girls not out of tiieir teens wearing silks of a heaviness heav-iness of texture fit lor the pompous apparel ot gray-haired dowagers. Many Frenchwomen whose attire has always been "as finished as an epigram" epi-gram" have never owned so costly a dress as gros grain. No respectable woman in France would consent to wear appartl not in ctrict accordance with her establish at position in life. For the wife of a clerk or other small-salaried small-salaried person to appear wearing a iace flounce or India shawl, or any ether expensive garment, would be to invite such comment ns "no modest dame can meet, without a blush." A writer in .1 r-l-.fo.-i's Journal advocates ad-vocates a more general and thorough musical education. He says: "Tho i lremtently adopted plan of waiting to sec whether children have any taste or show any love for music.is a wrong one. No child would prefer practising prac-tising scales to playiugball; and few boys, if the cultivation of their tastes depended upon the whims of their ever-dying limcies, would turn into educated men. But all parents should first give t'neir children the opportunity oppor-tunity of forming a taste, and for iti development trust to ttie resthettc element of their nature." As a cure or relief for catarrh Dr. Hagar suggests: "Five parts of carbolic car-bolic acid, six of aqua ammonia (specific exavity DO) ten of distilled water and fifteen of alcohol. Mix I together in a wide-niouthed bottle, hail" tided with cotton or abestos, and isuuij up from time to time. Dr. Brand states that this prescription (will shorten tho first stage of the j disease, prevent tho second, and alleviate al-leviate ali the symptons. He pre-! pre-! fers, however, to apply it by inhal-ation inhal-ation through the nose, by pouriner a few drops on porous paper, and holding hold-ing it in the hollow ot too hand, before be-fore the face, with the eyes closed."! |
