I'll tell you how my husband says his mother makes an Indian uuudlng, and he says it will be just right if you'll follow the directions exactly. "Mother's always Is”: Exactly In Hie middle of a brand new tin six-quart pin set a coffee-cud full of good molasaea; place on the ton nf the molasses stesspoonful uf salt.

The trouble with the pictures Is (hat after painting them the artists touch the paper with turpentine in erasing some parts that don’t exactly suit, and repaint. In putting the turpentine on they cut the oil, and It drlea oat, thereby losing Us trans parency and making 11 spotted. If the following directions are followed no trouble will be met: Baste the picture on the glass wltbsiarch paste aod let It dry thoroughly. Then soak with castor oil at least twenty-four hours. Wipe with a dry cloth, and (hen varnish with Demur varnish. When drv—lt will dry In ten minutes—proceed to paint. Windsor .to Newton’s tubes are the |»st for the purpose. Paint carefully, and study the color you wish before you put lion,—it Is best to have an old picture to try the colors on.—and when It Is painted let 11 dry, and give It a coat of clear white varnish, and paste the glasses together with gum paper. Then varnish tho edees well, so as to ex clude all air. When dry, paste a piece of varnished cardboard on the back of the whole, and varnish the edges again, and it will be a success. For pict ures already painted and[sp<itted, soak with castor oil, and then varnish as before. C. O. Juxbo. BUCKWHEAT CAKES. To the Editor o) The Tribune.
