HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Food, for Feattiered Peta,
To make food for singing birds, knead
together three pounds of split peas,
ground pounds or beaten fine to flour, bread, one and a half
of crumbs of the same
quantity of coarse sugar, the raw yolks
of six eggs and six ounces of fresh but¬
ter. Put about a third of the mixture
at a time in a frying pan over a gentle
fire, and stirit until a little browned,but
not burned. When the other two parts
are done and all cold, add to the whole
six ounces of maw seed and six pounds
of bruised hemp seed, separated from the
husks. Mix together, and it will be
found excellent food for thrushes, robins,
larks, linnets, canaries, finches and most
other singing birds, preserving them in
both song and feather.
Cheese Straws
There are various recipes for making
cheese straws, but an English authority on
culinary matters claims that the foliow
“•
Take two ounces of best pastry flour
and mix with it a little pepper and salt,
together with just a dust of cayenne,

(Parmesan preferable, but any
dry, strong sort will do.) Work the mix
ture to a smooth paste with the yolk of
an egg. Should there not be suiiicient
moist ure in the yolk of one egg, use part
of another, or a very little lemon-juice,
but on no account add water, which has
a tendency to make the crust tough,
Work the paste till it is smooth and
•tiff, and roll it out till about one-eighth
of an inch thick. Then cut into straws
about five inches long and one-quarter of
an inch wide__ Ne o York World.
To Wash Blankets.
Put a pint of household ammonia in
the bottom of your tub, having had the
blankets well beaten to remove all cling
ing dust before you get the tubs out.
Then lay the blanket lightly on over the
ammonia, and pour upon it a sufficient
quantity of warm water to cover-the
blanket entirely. Then with a stick or
the hand, flop ihe blanket about in the
solution, pressing all the water that will
come out of it against the side of the
tub, without wringing as you remove it
to the rinse water. T on will be amazed
to see the dissolved dirt washing®? coming out
bing through with the fibres, as no rub
soap suds will bring it out.
Rinse in the same wav, in the same
moderately and warm water (not boiling
water), by simply tub. pushing the
blankets about in the cress through
the wringer and hangout to dry in a
windy place not in the sun. As the
blanket hangs there drying, foSr a little
water will collect in the corners,
which it is rather an amusement to
squeeze out to help the drying process.
If you do not care to put another blanket
in the first ammoniated water, which
must be done promptly, as the ammonia
evaporates quickly, divide the quantity,
taking half a pint for each one of the
two tubs, and xvash two blankets at once.
The evaporating ammonia, released by
the warmth of the water, can only escape
through the blanket which is laid over
it in the tub before the water is applied.
Hence you get the value of every drop of
it. In ordinary cleaning with ammonia,
for paint, brasses, silver, etc., mix it
with cold water first, and then add a
little warm water to the pail.— Ledger.
Marmalades.
Fruits that are too ripe for preserves
or canning which may be used to make mar¬
malades, will be found delicious.
only very ripe fruit is good for mar¬
malade. It should be cut in pieces and
put in a preserve kettle with a layer of
sugar at the bottom.
tor marmalades made of peaches,
pears, grapes, quinces, pine apples or

quarter fruit. water should
be added if the fruit is juicy, as it
should be. Care is necessary in order to
prevent the marmalade from burning
while cooking. Different fruits require
a different length of time in boiling, but
whenever the fruit begins to look clean
and thick it is done, and may be taken
np and put in jars at once.
Quince Marmalade.—Peel the quince,
weigh and put in a very little water.
Boil tender, work and add three-quar¬
ters of a pound of sugar to each pound

An interesting discussion of bird music
is furnished by a correspondent of /Sci¬
ence. Incidentally pointing out that the
catbird is our Northern mocking bird,
capable the of writer imitating any noise he it may
hear, takes up what says is
a complete evolution in the song or notes
of our ordinary robin. Ordinarily, he
is a “clumsy that singer, having a rough,
seesaw note, he repeats with little
variation.” He has precedence of the
other birds in the morning song with
which daylight is greeted in June, and
his song, though not musical, is well
adapted to constitute a matin cry. In
June of last year, however, the writer
says, he heard acrv “so particurarly like
articulation that I was‘startled: ‘Hear
this birdie! Hear this birdie! Hear
this pretty birdie!’ the last notes being
exquisitely rendered, with a wave and up¬
ward bend.” On careful examination,
he found the singer to be a veritable
robin redbreast. This year the bird re¬
turned, and, “better yet, it was apparent
that thi babes of this family were
singing, not the old robin’s seesaw, but
the'new song.” These robins, too, sang
all day long. Later in the year the writer
heard a robin singing a set of notes
“most heard.” charmingly unlike anything I had

of robin music. Any such evolution can¬
not but compel us to give a w armer wel¬
come than ever to the bird which though
a traditional favorite in England, has
hitherto been accepted by us less for his
beauty of plumage and of song than for
his and amusing and charming impudence
