CHOIOE RECIPES.
A correspondent is xperiencing trou
ble, nbout tho color in her summer stock
ings j black and dark brown givo tho
most nnnoynnco. Tho beet way known
to tho writor is to inako very woak suds;
it should hardly bo warm, certainly not
heated abovo "lukowarm j" a littlo salt
nddod to this helps to "60t" tho color ;
wash gontly with tho hands ; n lady's
Blockings of fino quality should not bo
so soiled as to nocd moro than this gen
tlo rubbing. Itinso thoroughly in cold
water, with n littlo salt in that just
enough to givo tho water a flavor. Turn
tho stocking wrong sido out, und dry
thorn in tho sha'"o Many n pair ot
handsomo stockings nro ruined by the
sun, after caroful washing.
Iloro is an oxcellont dish for dessort
Lino n mould with .ico cream, fill tho
centro with berries, covor thorn with ico
cream, und set in the froezcr for about
half an hour. It is liot intendod that
tho fruit shall bo literally frozen, but
chilled.
A lady wiches to know how to ranko
potato salad. Sho will bo sure to havo
a most appetizing dieh if sho docs ex
actly ns sho is told. Peel and boil in
salted water as many potatoos us will
meet tho requirement of your family.
Supposo you havo throo quarts of boiled
potatoos ; they should bo cut up while
hot, in small pieces ns nearly equaro m
consistent with tho amount of timo. A
tablespoon ful of finoly chopped onion,
a tablespoonful of finoly chopped pars
loy, a toaspoonful each of blackpopper
and of salt. To this add n teocupful of
tho host salad oil, and a half teacupful
of vinegar. Do not stir tbo salad, as
thoro is groat danger of breaking tho
pieces of potatoos, and giving tho dish
nn untidy look. Lino a salad bowl or
vegetable dish with tender lettuoo leaves,
and then put tho salad into tho dish
In placo of pareloy, tender stalks or very
small leaves of celery may be usod. If )
celery is used, a icaspoonful of tnado
mustard should bo added. Another
substitution1 may be that of buttor for
oil ; tho butler should bo molted vory
slowly, in a bowl sot ovor tho top of a
toakcttlo ; when melted, drain it ofT, leav
ing tho salt in tho bottom of tho bowl.
Another way to preparo potato salad is
to make a cocked mayonnaiso dressing
and pour over tho potatoes. Tho dress
ing should bo cooked ns you cook boiled
custard j an oxccllcnt rulo for this is:
To tho woll beaten yelkB of fivo eggs add
fivo tablcspoonfuls of vinegar, which you
havo heated to a boiling point When
you rcmovo from tho fire, add tbreo
ounces of butter ; season to your tasto
with salt, popper nnd mustard. Cresses
nud endivo nro used with excellent oiled
in potatosalads. It may not bo quito clear
to bow you can mix tho various ingredi
ent if you do not stir tho salad ; this
may bo dono successfully by shaking tbo
dlsli in which you preparo it, nnd by
toBsing lightly with a fork.
Cucumbers peeled nnd boiled until
soft nro served with chickens roasted.
So son tho cucumbers just ns you do
summer squash, nnd add n very littlo
swcot cream. Sorvo in a vcgctablo dish,
or put around the chicken- on n plattor
as' n garnish.
A dolieious pudding is mado in this
way: Chop a pinoapplo quito fino;
tako somo cako which is n littlo dry, rub
it fino in your hands, or crush it on a
kneading board ; put it into n pudding
dish in altornato layers with tho pine
apple, swroUui abundantly, moisten with
cold water, and bnko in a modcrntoovon
for nu hour and thrco quarters. ,
To insuro succoss in making gooso
bcrry pio, stow tho berries in ns littlo
water as it is possiblo to uso; when tho
berries begin to bo tondor mash than
with n spoon ; tlion you will proscrvo tho
richnoss of tho juico, and will not havo
to throw any of it nwny. Sweeten wl'li
light brown sugnrL and bako with two
crusts.
A most oxcellont pudding is mnda by
stowing ono pound of prunes until they
nro so tender that tho stones may bo re
moved without diillculty. Tako ono
quart of sweet milk, and subtract n tea
cupful ; into this stir enough flour to
mnko it liko a thick pasto, then mix it
with tho rost of tho milk; boat four eggs
very light, nnd add, and lastly s!ir in
tho prunes, ovor which you havo first
sifted n littlo Hour. Iioil or steam for
two hours. Sorvo hot, with somo highly
flavored sauco, vanilla or wino preferred.
Train the Doys to Help their Mothers.
This is n most important point in
practical education for tho lifo work.
Thcro is much in tho interior of homo
lifo nnd labor that tho man should know
and bo nblo nnd willing to do when
ncodful. A man need not fool ashamed
to do anything his necessities may ro
quiro or duty prompt. Thoro inn largo
class of malo imbeciles whoso only claim
to "society and position" is total
ignornnco of nnd capacity for doaling
with tho facts nud dotnils of every day
lifo.
Mother will thus hnvo their hoys
moro with thorn and unthought of bonds
of sympathy spring up betweon tho
mother nnd ion that opernto liko n guid
ing star through every scono of lifo.
Mothers bowaro of making n "littlo man"
out of your boy all too soon; rnthor let
him rest on his mother's arm, roly on
hor ndvico. Sho will provo for many,
many years a truo and to bo trusted
companion. Mnko her abovo all others
his confidnato, sho will not betray him
will bo a sterling advisor.
Mothers do not laugh nt our turn to
ridicule tho boy's lovo for a ''baby," a
"thimble," a "mud pio," it is tho imita'
tatlon of amothor, tlm insensible, incom
prehensible) powor that links souls in
sympathy, and may safoly operuto on
his plastio nature till maturity nnd
knowlodga will directit into safochannols.

they nro so early boforo anything clso

nro so hmly thcro is no danger of losing

ns tlioy did initio. Thcro nro the tulips,
crocus, narcissus, hyacinth, and I do not
know how many more, which nro so

lily, which I would liko very much to

anything liko it in my catalogues. It
blooms very early in tho spring, but I do
not know tho botanical nnmo. Thoro
aro somo wild plants nud vines which
nro very nico for tho flower gnrdon, and
in this part of tho country thoro aro
honeysuckles along tho crook" nud in the
mountains, and n wild clemntis, which is
a bountiful vine. Tho soeds hnvo tufts
of feathery down nttached to them, and
they nro pretty, with dried tlowors nnd

Tho Sin Against the Uoly Oaoat.

IMitor Homo Circlet
Somo timo ago Aunt Hetty cxprowd
a wlsu Hint somo unrittinn would givo
thoir vinws on tho nbovo caption, for
publication in tho Farmer. I thought
at tho timo that I would nt oucu givo
my viows, but various circutnstanoos
hnvo till now prevonted. Wo nro in
formed that nil sins, excopt tho sin
ngnlnat the Holy Spirit, shall bi forgiv
en, (I uso tho word Spirit instead of
Ghost, for I liko it better) but that ono
sin is not to bo forgiven in cither world.
Wo aro told by various commentators
that tho word "world," in tho toxt, signi
fies ngc, or dispensation, viz.,: tho Jew
ish or Christian age. But tho question
is, what is that sin? It is vcryevidont
to my mind that it was tho malicious
accusation that Jesus cast out dovils, by
Bclzobub, tho princo of dovils. Con
sult tho twolfth chnptor of Matthew;
nlso third chaptor of Mark, especially
tho thlrtioth voreo; nlso oloventh chap
tor of Luke. Now, it is but right for
mo to sny that I nm not a Christian.
Now, will Aunt Hetty throw this com
munication Into tho wasto basket?

Littlo Jim and bit Dob .,
Littlo Jim, with wido-nwako eyes nnd

his ruddy fnco with the brim of his hend
pieco looking at tho snmo timo up nnd
down tho enr, nnd thou out tho window,
in search of stray amusements.
In a moment ho had rushed out of his
plnce, and on to tho platform of tho
train, nnd taking a frco leap from tho
steps of tho car down tho embankment,
slides nnd leaps until hntlcss lio has
reached tho brink of tho river. Thon ho

with ono nrm ho swings himself n mo

"What in tho worUUnro you doing?"
exclaims tho mother who, brcnthlosrt

"Don't you know him?" tho lad calls
out, looking up with a bright smile nnd
sparkling eyes, "01 mamma, don.tyou

Ab, can it be, tho mother queries, n

"And Miroly, surely, mamma, dear, it
