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 World. 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 York Observer.

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. William W. B. Miller.
