The Therapeutic Qualities of Milk.

Mr.. EDITOR, Please allow me to say that
the article on typhoid Fever Successfully
Treated with Milk" in recent number of
the PRESS, is, as the writer says, "noLhing
new." And likewise in the treatment of Hec-
tic Fever, it has been found invaluable, espec
tally new milk ch,uned. A small churn
should be kept in every family. DIR. Hanna
ford says "Chemistry divides our food into two
classes: those which go to make up aesh and
the framework of the body, and are called
hesh-forming or albuminoids; and those
which fnrnish the material for fat and animal
heat, and are called fat-forming or supporters
OF respiration. We do not use these two
kinds of food in equal quantities; we 'ano
only one of the former to two and oneiourtn
of the latter. They are found in just tni'
proportion in milk.

The Old "CIo' - Nan.

Gathered everywhere the old clothes are
very nearly all taken to Baxter street. The
pedder produces his clothes. The Baxter
street dealer, who generally has tailor's shop
in conjunction, examines them one by one,
throwing what he wants to buy on one side.
Two pairs of pantaloons are very ragged at
the bottom, and he rejects them scornfully.
The others he buys for about 81. They will
row be cleaned, mended and pressed, and will

Baxter street, in this particular IS waning,
and Grand street, Roosevelt street and the

CHICKEN SALAD.-Well fattened chickens,
of medium size, slender and delicate, make
better salad than large, oyergrown ones. Put
them on to cook in the morning, and save the
water they are boiled in for soup. When
cold, remove the skin and cut the flesh i'll
pieces, the size you prefer. Some like the
meat very coarse-others choose it quite fine.
| This is entirely matter of taste. When cut
up, throw over the dish towel, slightly
danoped 3, cold water: 70 knap the meat from
drying. Take the best celery you can get, and
cut it of the size you wish. The "fancy
cook" cut both celery and chicken in bits
about one inch long and half an inch thick;
but we think the salad better cut finer. When
the celery is cut, put it between clean cloths
to dry perfectly, and then prepare the dress
ing. For dressing for two chickens take
three-fourths of bottle of the purest salad
oil, two scant tablespoonfuls of the best mus
tard, the yoks of two raw eggs, and of twelve
hard-boiled ones. Put the eggs to be boiled,
in a saucepan OF cold water, over quick fire;
bring to boil and let them boil hard ten
minutes, then drop them into cold water.
When cool remove the shells. Break the raw
eggs, and drop the yolks into dish large
enough to make all the dressing in; beat
them, stirring the same way, for ten minutes;
then slowly add the mustard, mix it with the
eggs thoroughly, then add a teaspoonful of the
best vinegar, and, when this is well mixed,
add the oil, a drop at time, stirring constant
ly, and always the same way. Then rub the
yolks of the hard-boiled eggs very smooth,
and stir in lightly a teabup of vinegar, and
pour it slowly into the first mixture, and stir
it together as lightly as possible. with silver
fork. Now season the chicken and celery
with salt and pepper, and as soon as
ready for use pour on the dressing. If set
where It is too cold, in cold weather, the
dressing will curdle and be ruined.

a PARIsIAN newspaper of the Figaro type
tells Am absurd story of how a wellknown
french photographer was summoned by the
queen to appear at Balmosal and take copy
of portrait of the prince eonsnrt. The
Frenchman prepared himself for the august
presence by taking his camera and change
Of linen, the latter carefully folded up within
silk handkerchief to preserve it from dust
and mishaps. Arrived at Balmoral he was
referred to the chef as the only person ON the
premises who could speak French, and to him
he made known his desire to change his
linen before meeting her majesty; but the
Chef pooh-poohed him for such niceity, saying
that the queen was not over particular about
such trides. During the alteration which
ensued as the photographer insisted upon be-
ing shown to dressing room, Lady s. ar
rived at the scene of action and took the
agonized Frenchman to the white drawing
room. He made known his anguish to Lady
S., who assured him that no change OF
linen was necessary, and then left him Tor a
few minutes. He saw screen and his op-
portunity. He rushed behind the former and
seized the latter, madly endeavoring to take
off one shirt and put on another, and while
he was engaged in this interesting act the
queen entered and saw the poor fellow strug.
Cling in that most terrible of ordeas-trying
to put on a shirt in a hurry. The queen
laughed and retreated, and since that time
nothing has been seen of the poor aud gallant
French photographer.

GRAPES AND THEIR UsEs.-I have often
been susprised that so few people know of no
other use for grapes than to eat them from
hand or make them into wine. Why, they
are good to cook! Yes, strange as it may ap-
pear, they are most excellent stewed for
sauce, make very rich tart or pie, the incest
of jellies, no fruit better canned. Can be
dried with less trouble than most any other
kind of fruit. But the seeds, the great rough
seeds, and what do you do with them? Pro-
cure brass wire sieve with the meshes be-
tween the wires just coarse enough so that
the seed will not pass through, squeeze the
pulp and seeds from the skins, through the
skins in one vessel then rub!the pulp through
the sieve into another; but when well cooked,
If stirred a little, the seeds will mostly settle
to the bottom, and be out of the way. The
Concord is much better for cooking when half
ripe, or when red, not black. Iges's Seeding
Is Ine pest 1or cooking purposes we have yet
tired, To dry them, cut the canes with the
irult and all the leaves on them, and hang
them in the sunshine. They will dry in a few
days ana can then be packed away for winter
use, when they will be found better, properly
cooked, than most any other dried fruit. The
best thing about the whole grape business is,
that the coarser, easiest grown and most un-
palatable OF our grapes, are the best for cook
ing purposes; and have no doubt but that
there are now and will be produced line of
grapes too pulpy and austere to be eaten raw

some pears. l have now large and produc-
tive white grape that will keep fresh and
