The Southern Farmer. Toplrw for (tie llouichchl. To Wash Silk Stockings.—One tablespoonful of Union juice to a quart of tepid water; wash thoroughly, using no soap; dry quickly in the thade; the flesh tint will l>e preserved. Raised Biscuit.—Take some light bread-dough sufficient for two square tins of biscuit, mold in four ounces of butter, and let it rise again, and when light, pick up small bunches of dough and drop on buttered tins; let it rise a few minutes, then bake slowly. Chili Sauce.—Eighteen large, ripe tomatoes, three green tomatoes, two small onions, one cup of sugar, two and one-half cups of vinegar, two-thirds of a cup of all kinds of spices, four teaspoon fuls of salt. Boil one hour. Ham Cake,—A capital way of dis posing of the remains of a ham. and making an excellent dish for breakfast: Take a pound and a half of ham, fat and lean together —put it into a mortar and pound it, or pass it through a saus age-machine—boil a large slice of bread in a half-pint of milk, and beat it and the ham well together— add an egg beat en up. Put the whole into a mold, and bake a rich brown. White Soup.--This white vegetable soup will be found most excellent: Take four or five good turnips, two heads of celery, four fine leeks, and w ash them and slice them down; then put them into a stew-pan with a piece of butter and a knuckle of liam; moisten with a auart of stock, and let them stew gently till tender; then add a pint of milk and crumbs of bread, give all a good boil up, strain, and send to the table very hot. Nursery Powder.— Take one ounce of pulverized hemlock-bark, one ounce of magnesia, and one ounce of laundry starch; pulverize finely by laying upon a platter and grinding with a knife. Sift through a hair-sieve and put into a tight box, and you have the same article which costs you, if prepared by chemists, a dollar and a quarter per box. Any one can make a puff of swan’s down or scraped linen lint, if they think it better than a pinch sifted from between the thumb and finger. Omelette Soffle.— Separate 6 eggs, and beat them light; having added to the yolks two tablespoonfuls of pulver ized sugar and part of a grated nutmeg; iust before cooking stir in the whites and the yolks together; have on the fire a pan with a tablespoonful of lard, when boiling hot pour in the omelette. Keep lifting the eggs gently with a knife—al lowing the top to run underneath—until done; then slip the knife under one side and fold the omelette; turn out on a warm dish, sprinkle with 3Ugar and serve at ouce. t „ Autumn Leaves for Lamp Shades —Lamp shades made of autumn leaves are very beautiful. To make them, cut the shade in stiff white paper, when the leaves which have been previously dried and pressed, are arranged on it in a wreath, and fastened down by gum. It is then covered with a very coarse net, and the edges bound with gilt or colored paper. The effect of the light shining through the shade is exceedingly pretty; and it is one of the cheap decorations which all persons possessed of a little taste and ordinary skillful fingers make for themselves. Baled Calf’s Head. —A calf’s head, a good one, will cost forty cents, and will last two days. Boil the head until you can pick out all the bones, and mind you keep the water the head is boiled in; take your pieces and lay them in a dish, having cut them small; use some salt, pepper, a little parselv, a grate of nutmeg, a small piece of butter, and some dry bread-crumbs, say a teacupful of the latter; moisten it all with some of the water the head lias been boiled in; put in a baking-dish, and let it bake half an hour. When we cay afford it, we take the yolks of two eggs and make a sauce with the boiled liquor; we make soup of the rest of the liquor. Usefulness of Borax.— Borax water moderately used and afterwards followed by frequent brushings, makes the liair beautifully roft and glossy, and does not injure it in the least. A little borax added to starch will impart a fine gloss to linen when ironed, which is considered by many so desirable. Borax is very much to be prefened to soda as aid to the softening of water for washing pur poses, making the clothes very clean and white, while being harmless to the fabric and hands. It is a very useful addition to the household economy in many ways, and will keep perfectly sweet in solution for a long time. Meat Scallop. —Take pieces of cold beefsteak or roast veal; chop them very fine. Blitter a pudding dish, put a layer of meat then a layer of crackers, season with salt, pepper, pieces of bu her and moiston well with milk; then put in an other layer of meat as before, and over the whole spread a thick layer of pulver ized crackers, and moisten with an egg beaten in aeup of milk, or more, accord ing to the size of the dish; scatter pieces of butter over the top and bake three quarters of an hour or an hour. This is a nice dish if made moist enough. Soft Soap. —Twenty pounds of pure grease to fourteen pounds of potash will make a cleg,n fish-barrel full: the potash can be procured at any drug store; dissolve it in water in a brass kettle over the lire ; put the grease in the barrel; first pour the solution of potash over the grease, and stir it with a stick; let it stand twenty-four hours, then pour a pail of cold wafer in the barrel, and stir it thoroughly; let it stand twelve hours, and as it thickens, add a pail of cold water and stir again, and add water every twelve hours, and stir until the barrel is full. In cold weather we use warm water. Be particular to have the barrel tight, as lye will leak through where water will not. A barrel will not answer more than twice, as the lye de etroys it. He is Called a Gentleman. [Eclipsed Exchange.] Look at that young man, arrayed in faultless costume and polished boots of the latest style. He handles his deli cate cane with such consumate skill, that it seems to be a part of him. See him lift his hat to that lady! It is done with the perfection of grace. Listen to his modulated tones, as he passes the conversational salutation, and the ring of his laughter, subdued to the exact melody, 'fhe community calls him a gentleman. He is a welcome habitue of our best society—the centre of a select circle. To his side purest and fairest of our girls, whom his attentions delight. Mothers and daughters alike cultivate him, and anxious hearts whis per that he is a good match! Last night that gentleman, (?) flushed in face, with bleared eyes, staggering under beastly drunkenness, concluded his revels in a den of imfamy, dawdling to the caresses of the most depraved! The echo yet lin gers in the ribald jest, but society gives him letters of credit as a gentleman. It is no exceptional act, nor secret, done in fear and trembling. It is of frequent occurrence, and the chance is that be fore he left liis lady acquaintance five minutes he was found telling a friend of liis bawdy adventures, to the clinking of glasses over a saloon counter, in the un noticed and uncared-for presence of others. Society sees these things—knows them full well—but instead of eyes start ing with horror, they settle intoan|in dolcnt wink at the peccadilloes. Texts may be learned expounded from the pul- Eits, and moralists, thunder in platitudes, ut so long as society welcomes to its hospital avenue gentlemen such as we have described, and others of a similar character, domestic sorrows and social catastrophes must be regarded as natural results and not mourned as undeserved afflictions Useless Skill. Some months ago a couple of our fast and reckless .young men tried to make a short turn of the corner of Cherry and St. Clair street while the horse was going at a rapid gait. The buggy was upset and the young men thrown out with great violence on the sidewalk. One of them remained motionless. A crowd collected, and one of our well known Gerrnan phvsieians wassummoned to attend him. The doctor worked with him patiently for some minutes when a bystander exclaimed in an agony of im patiene: “Oh, doctor, doctor, can’t you bring him to?” “ Oh, yah,” said the doctor, phlegmatically, as he stopped to wipe his heated forhead. “ Yah, I can pring him to, but vat isde use? He man’s neck it is proke.” The Granger’s Prize Apple. It was at a recen t agricultural fair, and when the influential farmer was pre sented with the “prize apple” by the owner (a politician running for office) he immediately bit the fruit in two, and, munching hard on the piece in his mouth, camly observed: “ I thank ye fur this bootiful present; I shell take it with me whurever I go!” The owner stopped passing around **' prize apples ” right there.
