HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
To Dress Vegetables.
"Wash greens thoroughly; pick them
close, for an outside leaf will spoil a
dishful; split the stems of cabbages
across twice. They should be washed iu
a pan, sides as particles wooden of sand or dust hang
to the of vessels. Do.not
pour water on them; draw the water and
then plunge them in; throw into the
water a handful of salt, as that willdraw
out worms or other insects, which can¬
not be seen without pulling the vegeta¬
bles to pieces.
All greens should be boiled by them¬
selves in plenty of water, with a good
lump of salt; the water should boil
when they are put iu and be kept boil¬
ing; they should be well done or they
are unwholesome; a very little soda
put into the water preserves their color.
No directions can be given as to the
time vegetables take for boiling, as much
tain depends on the size and age. To ascer¬
when they are doue pass a fork
through they begin the stem, if soft they are done;
to sink when nearly boiled
enough. through Greens should be strained
a colander as soon as done.—

The Lemon Medicinally
Lemonade made from the juice of the
lemon is, according to the People's Friend ,
one of the best and safest drinks for any
person, whether in health or not. It is
suitable for all stomach diseases, excel¬
lent in sickness, in cases of jaundice and
fevers. It is a specific against skin com¬
plaints. The pippins crushed may be
used with water and sugar and taken as
a drink. Lemon juice is the best anti¬
scorbutic remedy known. It not only
cures this disease, but prevents it.
Sailors make daily use of it for this pur¬
pose. I advise every one to rub their
gums healthy with lemon juice to The keep hands them and in
a condition.
nails are also kept clean, white, soft and
supple by the daily use of lemon Instead
of soap. It also prevents chilblains.
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers,
mixed with strong, hot, black coffee,
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the part affected with a cut
lemon. It is valuable also to cure warts
and to destroy dandruff on tho head,
by rubbing the roots and of the hair
with it. It will alleviate finally cure
coughs and colds, and heal diseased
lungs, if taken hot on manifold, going to and bed the at
night. Its uses are
more we employ it internally aud exter¬
nally the better we shall find ourselves.
Lemon juice, according to a writer on
good health, is anti-fcorbutic, useful in
removing tartar from the teeth, anti¬
febrile, etc. A doctor in Rome is try

Better than Pie.
Good wheat bread and butter, or bread
and cream and syrup, or a little sugar
and good apple sauce, will makrHt dish
superior to any apple pie I ever met with.
Very few cooks know how to make a
pie that will be really digestible in stom¬
achs of ordinary capacity. day, and We usually stew a
few apples nearly every

ter. Many times it is impossible to get
good marketable apples, • and which we are
obliged to use “nubbins,” are
scarcely fit for hogs. Yet we make ex¬
cellent sauce out of such very poor fruit.
All tho specks and defects are cut out

the fruit is washed clean and stewed

stewing apples in tho foregoing manner

good brown bread, or wheaten mush, or

place before a queen at a royal banquet.
Try it and see if it is not better than pie,

How Horseshoe Nails are Made.
The great bulk of horseshoe nails that
are used in this city,and in fact through¬
out the United States, are manufactured
principally in Cleveland, Ohio, although
some few come from Rhode Island.
Horseshoe nails are now made by
machinery entirely. They are hammered
hot from head to point by a succession
of blows similar to those made by hand.

Electric Plano Playing.
Electricity has been invoked to supply
a substitute for a musical education. By
means of the Stephonium, or “electric of

Edinburg, proposes to enable persons
ignorant of music to play the piano The and
other instruments of similar action.
music sheet is placed behind wires
spaced to correspond with its scale, and
each successive note is sounded by
touching the wire over it with a metallic
pointer, which closes an electric circuit,
and strikes the proper bell or string. It
is only necessary to follow the notes with
eye and hand until sheet the piece is down played. the
By sliding tho up or
whole range of notes is quickly trans¬
posed into another key. The Stephonium
may be removed to any distance from
the piano or other source of the musical
