The Care of Meat and Vegetables—To
Keep Silver from Tjwnisbing—
Recipes for Cooking—The Care of
Childreu.
Silver in daily use may be kept
bright a very long time if always
washed in hot suds and rubbed
briskly on a soft, dry towel. Sil
ver and glass should" both be wiped
right out of the suds without rins
ing. Dry salt will remove egg
stains from spoons, and gum cam
phor kept with silver will prevent
it from tarnishing.
Cream toast is a delightful old
fashioned supper dish, not at all
like its modern substitute—milk
toast. Heat the cream by netting
the dish containing it in a dish of
boiling water. When the cream is
thoroughly heated salt it and drop
thin slices of delicate brown toast
in it. When all the toast is dipped
•erve what hot cream remains in a
gravy boat. As the toast i.s served
pour a little cream from the boat
over it. This toast must be served
very hot.
Do not let fresh fish lie in watei
as it makes them soft and unfit to
sat.
Silver becoming black may be
avoided by keeping that which is
not often used in Canton flannel
bags, with small bags about the
size of a thimble filled with bits of
gum camphor packed in around
the articles.
Never allow meat to remain in
paper, nor in the hot kitchen, as it
will soon spoil. Put it on a china
or earthen dish in the coolest place
you have until it is wanted. To
“cook meat in its own juice” it
must be put in a stone jar or crock
with a close cover without any
water, and subjected to slow, gen
tle, long-continued heat. This
method makes tough meat tender
and palatable.
A simple cure for the hoarse
colds which are so general in an
open season like the present con
sists of the white of an egg beaten
with the juice of a lemon and
sweetened with sufficient sugar to
make it palatable. While such a
mild prescription as this has no
remedial effect in the case of a
violent cold, it certainly does cure
hoarseness, and is a great relief to
the sufferer. It should bo taken
by the teaspoonful every half
hour.
Scratches on furniture may be
refinished by rubbing 'with a wool
en rag dipped in boiled linseed oil.
The varnishing may he done with
shellac dissolved in alcohol.
Housekeepers very often find
that the crisp, white celery or the
firm lettuce which they bring into
the house in the evening has be-
wilted and worthless by
morning. The cause of this is the
exposure of the plant to the strong
light of the early morning hours
or to heat. To keep thoroughly
firm, any green vegetable should
be kept at as cold a temperature
as possible and in the dark.
Choice Recipes.
Portuguese Cakes. Take
butter, eggs, sugar and flour of
equal weight. Beat the butter tc
a cream, add the eggs, then the
sugar and at last the flour. Stii
half an hour and drop in little
heaps the size of a walnut, on a
sheet iron pan, which you have
dusted over with flour. Take
some preserved cherries and place
one in the centre of each cake,
pressing it down to steady it.
Bake in a moderately hot oven.
Squash Pie. —One quart of
stewed and strained squash, a
scant quart of boiling milk, two
thirds of a nutmeg, 1 1-2 teaspoon
fuls of salt, two cupfuls of sugar.
Mix slowly and well; when cold
add four well-beaten eggs, and, if
one chooses, two tablespoonfuls of
Madeira. Line deep plates with a
plain paste, and after filling with
the mixture bake in a moderate
oven for forty minutes.
Broiled Lobster.—A lobster
not less than ten and a
half inches long should be
selected, and split in two length
wise, which instantly kills it. .Re
move the entrail and stomach.
Brush a little butter over the lob
ster, and broil the shell side first,
then turn and broil the other.
Serve with molted butter. The
lobster should never be boiled and
then broiled.
Milk Gravy.— One pint of
good sweet milk and two tea
spoon fa Is of- white flour to each
pint ox good milk. Dissolve the
flour ia a little cold milk, and then
stir this into the hot milk, and
mix the whole together, and let it
boil up once; then immediately re
move from the fire and serve.
. Fried Potatoes. — Boil some
■otato-js; when done, peel them,
■d set them away to get cold.
Bien chop them up fine, and add
Hpper and salt to the taste. Flour
Bin, and fry in hot lard. They
Ast he brown. Some add a lir.tlo
Bbgar just before they are taken
H of the pan.
Hysterical Hen.
, flry Man —What the blazes is
with that hen?
Bonner —Nothin', she has jusi
Han egg.
Bty Man —Great Scott! cnc
Bfcßauppose she ha l laid the
BWjxfipon of a brick block. —Tex-
A gggggggggggg
v aiED Chicken with Oys
te is.—Clean and cut a young
chi ‘ken at the joints into pieces
for serving. Dredge with salt,
pepper and flour, and fry thorn
brown in butter or chicken fat.
Make a cream sauce, with one
heaping tablespoonful of flour
mixed with one tablespoohful of
hot butter, add gradually one cup
of hot cream or milk; season with
salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Cook one pint of oysters in one
tablespoon!'ul of butter till plump.
Pour them over the chicken, and
pour the sauce over the whole.
Hasty Pudding.— Put a quart
of milk in a crock and set it on
the stove to cook. As soon as it
comes to a boil, sift in the flour, a
little at a time, stirring it well till
it is thick and stiff. Serve with
sweetened cream or thickened
milk, made in this way: Take a
piece of butter, size of a walnut,
jne heaping tablespoonful of
sugar and one of flour. Cream
this together, and pour on a pint
if milk. Dot this cook ten min
utes. Flavor to suit the taste.
In Tornadoes.
Those living in portions of our
country exposed to tornadoes will
be glad to know that scientists tell
us there is always warning of the
approach of a tornado to those that
are observant. Clouds may be
seen hurrying together in the
southwest and west, a low dull
roar of the wind in those clouds
may be perceived, while there is a
great stillness and sultry heat in
the air, all of which signs are
sufficient to bid people look for
safety. This safety they vail
never find in any easterly direc
tion. One who faces the cloud as
it comes should seek safety to die
right. The only absolute safety,
however, is to be found under
ground, in the cellar of the house,
if it is a wooden house, as the
storm will whirl off the beams and
boards of the structure; but if it is
a brick or stone house the shattered
walls will only tumble in; the
brick or stone house, moreover,
will fall sooner than the wooden
one, which yields and gives. In
the tornado countries, especially in
the more open portions, there
should he an underground place
provided for refuge, with its roof
arched and strengthened by ma
sonry and beams so that it cannot
be broken in by anything heavy
falling upon it. —Harper’s Bazar.
Cookery Teaching' in England-
The London 1S : ows says the num
ber of women who go about the
country giving cookery lectures is
constantly increasing. In England
these teachers are fairly paid. In
die county council work the
teacher lias to drive a considerable
disUvnce rive days in the week, and
back again at night, often in an
open conveyance, so that women
who are not physically strong
are foolish to undertake the duty.
Occasionally three demonstration
lessons have to be given in one
day, which means about six hours’
working and talking. Many of the
teachers arc quite girls, and it has
been remarked that the village
mothers to whom the vlecture show
but little faith in them, resting
more confidently upon the asser
tions of older lecturers. There are
many new lights to be thrown
upon domestic cookery, and these
are apt to be smiled upon with
pitying superiority when shown by
a girl.
About Collars.
The exponents of liihg art in
dress condemn the high, stiff col
lar, which they say robs the neck
of perfect freedom of motion, de
stroying the natural expression and
grace. The neck is to the head
what the stem is to the flower.
They consider even anunbeautiful
neck freed bettor than the stiffy
bridled carriage, which is the pro
duct of the tailor coat. The soft
frill of lace that has encircled the
throats of the heroines in English
novels since the beginning is rein
stated for the aesthetic maiden,
while the tailor-made girl will still
cling to her ‘•chokers,” Princess of
Wales “dog collars,” etc.
Winter Dangers of Childhood.
An idea prevails that winter
weather is beneficial to young chil
dren. If the temperature be be
low freezing point the more dan
gerous it is for the child’s health
the colder and drier the air gets,
no matter whether the skin is kept
warm or not; the cold, dry air, ir
ritates the respiratory organs and
it apt to cause inflammation. This
is the more dangerous the younger
the child is. Cold, damp weather,
with or without rain, when the
temperature is above freezing
point, is much less to be feared if
the child be sufficiently well
wrapped.
St. Vitus’ Dance.
Parents should keep in mind
the fact that twitching of the eye
ids, of the mouth, and other in
voluntary movements of tka mus
cles, as in St. Vi.as’ dance, may
easily be acquired by imitation. It
is therefore dangerous for children
to associate with victims of any
such infirmities of the nervous
system.

HISTORICAL.
I he first American paper money
was made in 1740.
Calico printing was first cxe
eu.ed by the Dutch in 16 70. It
was first made in England in 1771.
Wooden railroads were built in
England in 1602; iron rails were
first used in 1780; the first iron
rauroad was laid in America in
1827.
In 1759 the legislature of Massa
chusetts passed a stamp act in
which newspapers were included.
The printers remonstrated and
asked for a repeal of the clause
which applied to newspapers,
pleading that they were vehicles of
knowledge and necessary informa
tion. It was done.
Wood engraving was introduced
into the United States by Dr. Alex
ander Anderson in 1704. The de
mand for wood engraving was not
extensive until a comparatively
late period, and in 1830 the whole
number of professional engravers
on wood in the United States did
not probably exceed 20.
Yellow fever was prevalent to a
considerable extent in Boston in
1603. It was carried there by a
fleet and army from the West In
dies, which had been ordered to
Boston to co-operate in an attack
upon Canada. In 1699 this fever
swept off many of the inhabitants
or Philadelphia. It was carried
there from the West Indies, where
it had been prevailing extensively
for some time.
Washington died on the 13th of
December, 1799. Intelligence of
his death reached President
Adams at Philadelphia, by a
special courier on the morning of
December 18. Congress was in
session, and John Marshall an
nounced the event the same day,
and that body immediately ad
journed. The funeral took place
on Wednesday, December 18,
according to the ritual of the Epis
copal church.
Yucatan was discovered by
Francis Hernandez Cordova, who,
with three caravals and 110 men,
sailed from Havana on February
8, 1517. They first saw land at
Cape Catoche, the eastern point of
Yucatan, an Aztec name for the
great peninsula. He landed at
several places but was driven off
by the naked barbarians, who used
bows and arrows skilfully. Cor
dova was afterwards mortally
wounded by some natives north of
Campeaehy, who killed forty
seven of the Spanish intruders,
only one man escaping. On his
return from Yucatan " Cordova’s
vessel touched the coast of Florida.

that Mr. Leezer told him he was
feeling pretty rocky. Chicago

VACRANT VERSES.
An Addition to the Poets.
“Man wants but little here below,”
Young- and Goldsmith say;
But lovely Woman wants it all.
And wants it right away.—Puck.
A Conflagration.
From hall to hall, from tower to tower
The flames in joyous rage are leaping;
To stay them passes mortal power;
High o’er the castle now they’re sweeping.
A cottage nestling by its side
Beneath the crumbling walls has vanished,
I watch, no longer tearful-eyed,
For every ray of hope is vanished,
Now all to thinnest smoke is turned
And I’ll not get a cent’s insurance—
r r they were love- letters I burned.
Gut. ah ! Mr soul son; of durance.—Judge.
