HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
The Philosophy of Boiling.
All cooks do not understand the dif¬
ferent effects produced by hard and soft
water in cooking meat and vegetables.
Peas and be ms cooked in hard water,
containing tender, lime or gypsum, will not boil
be, ause these substances harden
vegetable caseine. Many vegetables, as
onions,boil neatly tasteless in soft water,
because all the flavor is boded out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions,cau-ing the vegetables
to retain the peculiar flavoring prin
cipies, beside such nutritious matter as I
might be lost in soft water. For ex
trading broth the juice of meat to make a
or soup soft water, unsalted and
cold at first, is the best, for it much
more for readily penetrates the tissue; but
retained boiling where the juices should be
hard water or soft water salted
is preferable,and the meat shouid be put
in while the water is boiling, so as to
seal up the pores at once. —New York

Cauliflower Pickle
I know of no nicer pickle, writes a
lady flower in the Prairie Farmer, than cauli¬
alone. It is quickly and easily
made and is gene: ally very popular. It
is always well to lay the cauliflower
heads for a half hour or more into cold
water before cooking to draw out any in
sects that may be hidden within. Boil
the heads whole in slightly salted water,
remov ng them as soon as the stems be
gin to be at all tender. Cut them into
pieces convenient for serving and drain
well. Scald just enough cider vinegar
to barely cover the cauliflower, adding \
to each pint of the vinegar used, two
table spoonfuls flmr mustard; or, if pre- j
t'erred. less of the flour mustard and a ;
substituted. tablespoonful of French mustard can be |
Stir this smoothly into a
little cold vinegar first and into the
other when boiling. Let it cook five
minutes, stirring it all the time to pre¬
vent its becoming lumpy. Pour it over
the cauliflower that has been packed
closely iu bottles. It is soon ready for
use.
” Coffee Making Fine Art.
a
To make a really good cup of coffee
has always been ranked among the tine j
arts, requiring considerable skill and ex- !
pericnce. bo much so, in fact, that
many persons have tor a lifetime put up
with a decoction that is coflee oniy in
name. With proper apnliances it is not i
at ail difficult to make the very best cup
of coffee. In boding coffee we lose all
the delicate flavors contained in the
berry, aud bring out all the noxious
qualities and bitter oils that tend to i
make consumers dyspeptic and bilious, i
A native of auy of the countries where !
coffee is crown would ridicu'e and put
away iudisgust what the average Ameri
can has grown aecu-tomed to as his morn
ing beverage. In Brazil, Ceylon or Java,
after roasting the coffee it is ground to a
fine powder, and instead of boiling, very i !
hot water is poured through it and til- j
tered. This gives a beautifully clear
and pure cup of coffee, without any bit
ter or pungent taste. By grinding the |
coffee very fine double the strength is I
obtained, making the same quantity of
coffee go twice as far as by the old
fashioned way. There is no waste in the
coffee grounds, every available part of
the coffee being used, and all the food
properties and delicate flavors thorough
ly e traded. To prevent the fine
grounds special from getting into is the liqu d
coffee a fabric filter absolutely
necessary,* as no perforated metal liter
can he made fine enough to prevent the
grounds from gettiug through. — New i

Their Onlv Medicine Chest.
Deerlodqe, Montana, Deo. 16,1885.
I have been using Brandreth’s Pills for
the last thirteen years, and though I have had
nine children, I have never had a doctor in the
house, except three times, when we had an epi¬
demic of scarlet fever, which we soon banished
by a vigorous use of Brandreth’s Pills. I
have used them for myself,two or three a night
for a month, for liver Complaint, dyspepsia,
and constipation. In diarrhoea, cramps, wind
colic, indigestion, one or two Brandreth’s
Pills fixed the children at once. A box of
Pills is all the medicine chest we require in the
house. We use them for rheumatism, colds,
catarrh, biliousness, and impure blood. They
never have failed to cure all the above com¬
plaints in a very few days.
