SEND THE CHILDREN TO BED WITH
A KISS.
O, mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play.
For the day brings so many vexations,
So many'things going amiss.
But, mothers whatever may vex you.
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
The dear little feet wander often.
Perhaps from the pathway of right,
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who’d give all the world for your bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings,
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
For some day the noise will not xex you,
The silence will hurt you far more,
You will long for the sweet, childish voices,
For a sweet, childish face at the door;
And to press a child’s face to your bosom—
You’d give all the world just for this;
For the comfort ’twill bring in your sorrow,
Send the children to bed with' a kiss!
Florence A. Jones.

Oyster Soup.—Bring a quart of milk to
the boiling point, add one tablespoonfulof
flour, which has been made thoroughly
smooth in old milk. When this boils,add
one pint ot oysters, one-fourth of a pound
of butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Boiled Salmon.—Put a can of salmon
in boiling water, for half an hour; open,
and turn the contents on a warm platter,
pouring around it a white sauce, to which
two hard boiled eggs, chopped fine, have
been added. Serve with potato chips.
Chicken Pie.—Cut a fowl in pieces, as
for a fricassee. Wash it thoroughly.
Boil the fowl very slowly until tender,
putting it at once into boiling water, which
has been properly salted. When the fowl
is tender, remove to a baking dish. Thick
en with flour the broth in which the fowl
was broiled, snd pour it over the chicken,
adding salt and pepper to taste. Some
people invert a small cup in the center of
the dish, to prevent the liquor
(rem cooking out. When the chicken is
cold, cover with a rich pufi paste. Be
sure and make plenty of slits in the crust,
that the air may have ample opportunity
to escape while the pie is cooking. Bake
about an hour. This may be baked the
previous day, and warmed up in a few
moments.
Plum Pudding.—Cover the bottom of a
pudding dish with split crackers which
have been liberally buttered. Over these
sprinkle sugar, salt, nutmeg, and a hand
ful of stoned raisins. Put on another lay
er of crackers, covering as before, and
continue until the dish is about two-thirds
full. Cover with milk, and let it stand

over night. In the morning, beat six eggs
very light, add to them a quart of milk;
sweeten to taste. Pour this over the pud
ding and bake five or six hours, in a mod
erate oven.
Mince M eat.--Two and one-half pounds
of beef heart, chopped fine; five pounds
of chopped apple, two pounds of suet, two
pounds of sugar, one pint of molasses, one
quart of cider, nine teaspoonfuls of cas
sia, three of cloves, three of salt, five gra
ted nutmegs, a little candied lemon or or
ange peel. Mix thoroughly, and cook
slowly for six hours.
Pies, puddings, etc., should be baked a
day or two previous to using, also cran
berry jelly should be made beforehand.
Wash all vegetables, wipe fruit, etc., the
day before the feast. Also clean and
dress the turkey, so that on the gala day
itself, but little cooking may be required,
and more time obtained for care of the
table and its ornamentation.

ONIONS AS A DIET.
There is not a single article that enters
into our dietary that is more wholesome
than the onion. It is sooth ng, acts as a
nervine, cleanses the kianeys, relieves
hoarseness and colds. It is I jsl to serve
them baked or fried. Som < object to the
odor of the breath after ea Ing them. A
small teaspoonful of Listeri.. 3 after eating
them remedies this, or a d. op of oil of
musk on sugar will do the same.

For “Domestic Keys.”
USEFUL ITEMS.
Hot lemonade, with gum arabic dis
solved in it, is an excellent drink for scar
let fever. While the fever is on, sponge
hourly with alcohol, and place hot, wet
cloths—covered with dry flannel—upon
the stomach.
For trouble accasioned by poison ivy,
wash the skin with sugar of lead dis
solved in boiling water. Also wet a slice
of bread, sprinkle washing soda upon it,
and apply the soda side to the affected part
for thirty minutes. A solution of borax
is safe and sure for any skin affection, or
for poisoning of any kind.
For a felon, make a poultice of linseed
oil and white lead. If that fails, apply a
Spanish fly blister the size of a pea. This
painful complaint demands heroic treat
ment based upon the principle that the
pent-up poison must be drawn to the sur
face.
SWISS CAKE.
One fourth pound of butter, one and one
half cups of sugar, three and one-half of
sifted flour, one cup of sweet milk, three
eggs, one teaspoon of cream of tartar, one
half teaspoon of soda; flavor with pine
apple. This cake is inexpensive, and I
am always successful with it.
SPONGE CAKE.
Beat the whites of four eggs, and the
yelks of the same, until very thick. One
and a half cups of sugar, two cups of
flour, half cup of milk, in which has been
dissolved one teaspoonful of cream of tar
tar and a half teaspoonful of soda.
BATTER CAKES WITHOUT EGGS.
For a family of four, take one quart of
sour buttermilk with two thirds teaspoon
of soda in it, and beat well; add a little
salt, then stir in flour—but do not make
too stiff; they are splendid.

FOB THE HOUSE-WIFE.
A raw cranberry, divided, and one-half
bound over a corn, is recommended as a
cure.
Ammonia water, used to wash off win
dows, will remove the coal black and
make them bright and clear.
To take mildew out of linen, rub well
with soap, then scrape some fine chalk
and rub that also on the linen, lay cloth
out, and as it dries, continue to wet a little
until it comes out.
A black lace shawl, mantle, or any oth
er black lace, may be easily cleansed.
With a soft handkerchief carefully take
all dust from the lace. Brushing must
not be resorted to, for it will render the
lace rough looking. Pin it on a board or
table. Wash it over with a soft sponge,
with table-beer; when dry, remove the
pins, and it will look like new.
Hot water, as hot as can be borne, is
recommended as a cure for poison of ivy.
Put a little powdered borax in the chil
tren’s bath, and they will not be so liable
do have the “heat” this hot weather.
