Sprigs of wii.tergreen or greiind ivy
■ffill drive away red ants ; branches of
wormwood will serve the same purpose
for black ants.
Ginoer Bread.—Two caps molasses,,
one-half cup butter, one tablespoonful
saleratus dissolved in one oupcold water,
tablespoonful ginger, flour to the consis
tency of stiff pound-cake.
Custard Meringe.—One quart milk,
velks of four eggs, sweeten to your taste ;
two tablespoons corn starch, flavor with
lemon and vanilla, and when well cooked
turn into the dish in which it is to he
served, and cover the top with the well-
beaten whites and a little sugar.
CnioKEN Cheese.—Boil two chicken.^
till tender ; take out all the bones and
chop the meat fine; season to taste with
salt, pepper and butter; pour in enough
of the liquor in which they are boiled
to make motst. Mould it in any sliape
you wish, and wlieri cold turn out and
cut into slice.?. It is an excellent travel
ing lunch.
Fruit stains and stains of red wine can
be riioely removed by applying the fol
lowing mixture; Equal parts of slacked
lime, potash and soft soa)). Rub on and
e.xpose the garment to the sun foi an

moved by salts of lemon or oxide of pot
ash.
Linen next the skin very readily gives
sensation of cold after the body has
Harmonizing Colors.—The Journal of
.FAucation gives the following list of har
monizing colors ; Red with green ; blue
with orange ; yellow with violet ; black
with warm brown; violet with pale green;
violet with light rose ; deep blue with
golden brown ; chocolate with light blue;
deep led with gray; maroon with warm
green ; deep blue with pink ; chocolate
with pea gieen ; maroon with deep blue ;
claret with buff ; black with warm green.
Bay rum is a useful, agreeable and in
expensive application to the scalp. Ev
ery body should use it, so we will give a
formula for making it,as good as can be
purchased anywhere and at a small cost;
Take oil of bay, ten fluid drachms ; oil of
pimento, one fluid drachm ; acetic ether,
two fluid ounces; alcohol, three gallons ;
water, two and a half gallons. Mix, and
in two weeks filter it carefully, then you
will have a superior article of bay rum,
better than can be purchased at an ex
travagant price, already prepared.
The following is commended by those
■who have, tried it for scrubbing and clean
■sing painted floors, washing dishes, and
other household purposes: Take two
pounds of white olive soap and shave it in
thin slices; add two ounces of Lorax and
two quarts of cold water ; stir altogether
in a stone or earthen jar, and let it stand
■upon the back of the stove until the mas.s
is dissolved. A very little heat is requir
■ed as the liquid need not simmer. When
thoroughly mixed and cooled it becomes
■of the consistence of a thick jelly, and a
piece the size of a cubic inch will make a
lather for a gallon of water.
To Refasten Lamps.—If the fountain
■Or the glass globe that holds the oil, has
■come loose from the standard, it is very
easily remedied by the use of plaster-of-
Paris. Mix a small quantity with water,
making it as thick as cream, and fill it in
between the glass of the fountain and the
hollow in the top of the standard as quick
ly as pos.sible. As it hardens immediately,
everything must be done with promptness
If the fountain is broken in pieces, and
there is a whole bronze or brass standard
remaining, it will pay to purchase a new
fountain and set it upon the old standard
as described above. The brass top can
be fastened on in the same wav.
been heated and has perspired, so that it
rather tends to give than to prevent
colds. Muslin absorbs a larger quantity
of moisture, and is much warmer under
the same circumstances, but woollen,
whilst it absorbs less, is the warmest of
all. As the skin perspires in hit weather,
it is not desirable to wear linen next it,
and muslin o" woollen should be substi
tuted according to the heat of the w e;vth-
er. In cold or cool weather there can he
no doubt that woollen is preferable, but
in the heat of summer muslin may be
substituted. In our climate we are, how
ever, liable to chilly evenings with warm
days, and a thin \vooilen vest is safer
than an extra muslin shirt. In this re
spect, however, persons differ, as they do
or do not perspire readily, and as their
skins are sensitive ; tor he who perspires
readily requires woollen to prevent cold,
whilst a dry and hot skin may be siiffi-
cieatly protected by muslin clothing.—
It is much to he regretted that women do
not always wear woollen next the ski-i,
whether III summer or winter; and still
more so, that there are men who are
much exposed to cold, .and do not wear
it. All per.sons should wear it from their
infancv. Clothing at night is also worthy
of attention. A thick and heavy cotton
counterpane weighs down the body with
out giving much warmth, so that the
body i.s working during sleep, and is less
refieshed in the morning. Except the
.sheets, all coverings of the bed should be
of wool, which gives the greatest warmth
in proportion to its weight, and the coun
terpane should be either equal to a blank
et or a blanket should be substituted for
it, and a thin light covering like a sheet
thrown over it, If there be too much
warmth the body is relaxed, the skin
made sensitive, and health is impaired.-- ■
If too little warmth, the body is unnec
essarily wasted by loss of heat. The rule
is, however, a good one—viz : to keep the
feet warm and the head cool. Hence the
number of blankets to be used must vary
with the weather and season. Young
children .and old people need more cloth
ing at night than those of middle age,
and in winter the most is required for
all ages at about four to six o'clock in the
morning, when the cold is the greatest.—
The sick demand great consideration in
this matter, and u.sually need more cloth
ing than those who are well. Pay atten
tion to the ventilation of t’ne bedroom,
and see that there are two openings into
it through which air may pass all night.
The chimney of the bedroom is often
stopped lip to prevent the dust and soot
falling, but as this prevents ventilation
it is very improper. Better t® have dust
which can be cleared away, than bad
health and fever. It is often very dilE-
cult to ventilate a bedroom without giv -
uig colds, because no one should sleep in
I a draugnc, and dise.ase is sometimes pro-
I duceJ by thoughtlessly having too much
I ventilation. If the door be left a very
: little open by using a peg or chain, and
j a window be ojiened at the Cop half an
: inch, it will u.sually be enough to secure
moderate ventilation, and the bed should
be placed out of the draught; but the
; amount must be tested by the smell of
I the room, and if in the morning it is dis-
i agreeable, it will be necessary to have
I more ventilation. Neither put the bed
i in a draught nor in a corner so far away
that the air about it pan not be purified
by ventilation, and take care that there
isbedclothing proportionate to the venti-
■ lation. Never let the bedroom, or any
j room, become too warm for want of ven
tilation, and then open a door or window
to cool it, for by so doing y-'ii wi.l be
sure to give colds; but keep a proper
temoeratura from the beginning. L>be
care also that the rooms are not too oo
by ventilation, or you may greatly injure
the health of cliUdren .and old people,
but let everything be done with judg
ment and moderation.
