It is a good summer drink. Summer Drinks for Children. -Bice water, barley water, oatmeal water, with lemon and sugar, should be' ready in every house where children are. Them are surely better than cold tea, which is often given, or milk that cannot always be trusted. Good Lercionade.-- Take two lemons, divide them and put each half into a lemon squeezer. When all the juice it; extracted put the .remainder of the lemons into a pitcaer and pour boiling water on them; after they have stood a little squeeze all the goodness from them ; add the juice, eto, to thine loasugar=enough to svieeten plea- santly -then pour enough. cold water to make the 'strength required -I think about one quart or a little more. • Ice must be added, . The following is an excellent receipt for root beer : Put into a clean tub'2/ Rounds of good sugar; 2 ounces bruised ginger; half an ounce of bruised., gentian root ; 2 ounces of bruised dandelion met and any. other kinds of rootil which may be desired, although these are sufficient and healthful and agreeable, add the juice of two lemons and the peel, with half an ounce of cream ottartar ; pour,over all .these two gallons of boiling water, cover the tub with a :blanket and leave it until nearly cool ; then soak a piece of toast in, two table- speonfals of yeast and leave the beer to ferment for two ;days. Strain it, and bottle it in strong bottles with the corks wired dawn. , • .• Seasonable Recipes. • To Keep jellies trora Moulaing.-Pul. aerie loaf sugar and cover the surface of the jelly to•the depth ef -a quarter of an inch; This will prevent meuld even if the jellies be kept for years. •' When making red or blaok raspberry jarti it is not necessary to weigh the fruit and sugar to get the right propertied of each. Take a large bowl and measure the fruit, and then take just half the quantity ot sugar. • To make pickled preserves take twelve pounds of fruit, six pounds of sugar, one - quart of vinegar ; spice to your taste.' Heat -tilt those tegetherattillarear over .•• Let it stand all night and in the.morning ..draita off thavinegar, heat it and,pour over again,then away jarsor dns Cherries and blackberries are very nice in this way. ' • Cocoanut Pudding. -Take sufficient stale • bread to .make a pudding the size you reqaireapoua boiling water over it. After it is zioaked well, take a fork and see that no lump!' of bread remain ; thee add hall .a capful' of gratedcocoanut, 'make a • .thstard of one quart of milk and -four eggs, flour with 'nutmeg (of coarse you will sweeten it with'white sugar); pour over and. immediately. • - : • Tp 'make pickled peaches, take seven pounds of sugar to one auatt of vinegar.; heat, and di -pp tris -peaches in,. and Oak until you :can pierce them easily with a broom splint on a silver fork; stiok two or three cloves in the ,neaches before cooking 'them ; put stichs of cinnamon in the vinegar, or put ground cinnamon in a little muslin bag and put in the jar. This i quantity of sugar and vinegar s sufficient for' two ordthaty-sized baskets. Some cooks take the skin off the peaches and turn hot sugar and vinegar -over them for twh or three mornings but I prefer them • as the little girl said she- did; "cloth and • . . : A good- rule to follow in making ice cream is this: To one quirt of rich, sweet :cream alley, five eggs,' and sugar enouglato sweeten to your taste; cook in a pail or pea, set in a kettle of hot water. When as thick as boiled custard take it out, and when pool flavor it. If you put the flavor- ing extractin when the custard is hot you.' Will be obliged to use, much more. Let it be cool before putting it into the freezer ; you gain no trine by harrying. Set the oustardanthe refrigerator or down cellar, then pack the ice and salt around the freezer. Constant stirring is what gives the desired fine grain to the frozen cream: In peach time quarters or slices Of the fresh peaches may be stirred ip and frozen with the cream. Pineapple is also used in thie way, but menet he reeommended, as it• must be very indigestible. ' Huckleberry pudding is nice made after this recipe 4 One quart Of flour, three tea- spoonfuls of baking powder, ,one pint of sweet milk ; one egg, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a lump of butter the size.of an egg, a little salt; stir lit as many berries as you • choose, not less than- it pint. Any other fruit raity be substituted for the huckle- berries ateam or boil in a bag for an hour. A delicious Sallee for this is made by baking '• one cup of sugar, One egg, half a cup of butter; beat thele together till light, then fill the:dish with boiling water -there will be a sort of cream on the top -and .when serving be sure to chp the gravy •ladle deep in the bowl, se that 'the finit one helped • to pudding,will not have all of the dream, This fiance may be flavored with vanilla or with brandy -Unless to you as t� me it is' too strongly Suggestive of the sick room.

They were at IWO supposed to be those of animals, and excited no particular atteation until one of the party noticed what appeared to be the top of a skull protruding from the earth. On re- moving the surrounding soil the supposa ton was found to be correct, and further exhumation 'brought to light a complete skeleton. On digging further into the mond, which was of an oblonalorm about six rods long' by four in width,. a large number of other ekeletons were brought to • light, showing that the tumulus was used as an saicientburying-ground.

What avails it that there is light enough forone to write by at 10 o'cloek at night if he is tired 'out, does not want to write and longs for nothing but to go to sleep? If it were dark, and. lie longed to write, nothing would be easier than to light candles and write all niglat, if he obese and could pay for ,bis candles. But neither money nor ingenuity can compass for him a normal darkness to sleep in. The Norwegian house it; one ball window.

During a large part of Mr. Mackenzie's stay in the north ram fell more or leas every day and he came to the con- ohision it was a "horrid climate." In Glasgow he found a combination of soot, dust and ram, which would require one to carry towels and water all the time, while every resident must have a coating of soot on lunge and stomach. Nevertheless this damp air, together with change of scene and the warm gteetiugs of welcome he has toierywhere reeetved, 10.144 restored him to perfect health, and, he sails in a w.eek's time for clear sky land," rehabilitated mentally and bodily.

Owing to the rapid improvement whichtookplace• . in his health he has been able -to enjoy his, stay in England, and has with Lady gm- • clonal& paid. severer visits to persons of political and social distinction. This.

It is a. favorite residence with her and her hus- band, sharing their regard with Dalmeny in the Lothians and the Durdans almoet on the thee course at Epsom.
