FRUIT CAKES. . PINEAPPLE CAKE.—Beat tip Six eggs well for five minutes, tflen acid six ounces of castor sugar, and; whisk for twenty minutes, or till thick and frothy..'Next add very lightly six ounces of sieved flour and three ounces of pineapple cut into shreds. Ponr the mixture into a tin lined with greased paper, and hake in a quick oven for about half an hour. PRUNE CAKE.—One cup of sugar, one half-cup ox butter, one and a-half cups of flour, one teaspoonful of soda, and four tablespoons of sour milk, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves, one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg, three eggs, reserving the white of one for frosting; one cup of cooked prunes cut up fine. This cake is delicious, and will keep moist for weeks, even in hot weather. WALNUT CAKE.-Required: Five ounces of flour, four ounces butter, four ounces sugar, four ounces grated walnut, grated ring of half a lemon, three eggs, one teaspoonful baking powder. Bake in a moderate oven. For icinsr: Half a pound of icing sugar, two tablespoonfuls of cold water. Put in a pan, and warm slightly. Stir in one ounce grated walnut, pour over the cake, and put a few pieces of walnut on the top before the icing sets. This makes a very nice cake. We recommend the Mikado Brand Tea as one of the most economical of family teas. The retail price is only Is fid per lb, but it is worth a good deal more. It is very carefully blended, and brews a fine tawny liquor which pleases the palate.

SOMETHING - FRESH v «i Old Toper Tom was feeling glum j He'd toped till he was "tight"! • The doctor said, "Your system's rum, : But I'll soon put you right!" . "Your nose is red, you're overfed ; And drunk; there's nothing surer: i There's just one thing for you to take, And that is 'aqua-pura." ' \ Give this prescription to chemist Keen: And take three times a day." ' Old Tom's wits wandered like his feet, He loßt it on the way! To grocer Green instead he went, And asked for "ashwah-poora." ■ The grocer puzzled; then understood—! And gave him' Suratura! The days passed by, bright grew Tom's eye! His nose is nearly normal! , With spritely gait, his; feet walk straight, His speech lacks nought informal. The doctor's fee, Tom paid with glee. ; "Well, Tom, how's 'aqua-pura' 1" "Oh, Doc., it's great, I'm pleased to state, Men boiled with Suratura!"
