Table Use OF Dat Meal.
OATMEAL BREAKFAST CAKE


This Is made OF No. cat meal, with water
enough to saturate it, and little or no salt.
Pour 1t into banking-tin half An inch or three.
quarters deep, shake it down level, and when
this Is done 1t should be go wet that two three
spooDfuls of water should run freely on the sur
face. Put 1t in quick oven and bake twenty
minutes minute Eat warm: Il will be as light and
have wet 1t too much or baked it too long. This
If one OF the most accommodating baked dishes
that can be made. 1t will do very nicely with
little longer time If the oven is not quite hot
III 1t will not bake there at ALL pour it into a
frying pan, cover it close and set it on the ton
OF the stove where 1t will even bake in fifteen
For a hurried breakfast and slow coal fire it
Is invaluable. Scarcely any wholesome thing
IN the bread line can be prepared more readily.
IL can be made still thinner and baked quicker
1T is good either crisp or moist. For emergen-
cies alone every housekeeper will find 1t conve-
Gient to be able to make the breakfast cake
Many use oat meal mixed with buckwhsst,
wheat or corn for griddle cakes For this use
prefer it cooked first. Take, saw one half pint
OF the porrldge or the mush, diffuse it in one
quart Of water, and add the wheat meal, sitting
1t in and stirring slowly.
HYGIENE PIE CRUST.
A long trial proves the thorsugh adaptability
OF oatmeal for that purpose. Take No. meal,
water. 1t can be easily rolled thin enough; it
will swell but little in baking. 1t Is not SO
white as those pie crusts made of white -four,
though that is q matter of taste. To nv notion
they are far preferable, even in appearance to
the cTusts soaked in hogs lard, which here in
the city have earned themselves the suggestive
sobriquet Of "scabs," and they are certainly
far more wholesome than any shortened Die
crusts whatever.
To avoid the unaccustomed appearance, how.
ever, tarts tart pies and fruit and berry pies of
many kinds can be without an upper crust or
the upper crust can be removed after baking.
blackberry, raspberry, plum, peach, grape and
many other kinds Of pies can be made In this
way. The crust bakes very uuicklv En- that nv
kind of fruit that requires much cooking should
be cooked before it was put in. 1t also makes
very pretty ornaments cut In various shapes
tart pies, Is agreeable to the taste, and very
few persons would notice the difference when
made without an upper crust. As people come
TO recognize its wholes0meness they will prob
ably be brave enough to eat it openly.-Science

There is one story which IL 10 said Washington
has related OF q man who went into an inn and
asked for glass OF drink from the landlord, who
pushed for ard wine glass about half the usual
size-the tea-cups also in that day were not
more than half the present size. The landlord
said, "That glass out of which you are drinking
is 20 years DID, "Well," said the thirsty trav-
eler, contemplating its diminutive proportions,
al think IL is the smallest thing l ever saw
That story as told Is given ~ . story of Athens
315 years before Christ was born. why! all these
Irish bulls are Greek-every one Of them. Take
the Irishman who carried around brick as q
specimen Of the house he had to sell; take the
Irishman who shut his eyes and looked into the
glass 70 see how he would look whe n he was
dead; take the Iriehman that bought q crow, al
and he meant to set out and try It. Take the
Irishman that met a friend who said to him,
"Nhy, sir, heard you was dead" swell"
says the man, 81 suppose you see am not"
.'Oh! no." says he, al would believe the man
who told me good deal quicker than I would
from Athens. Our old Boston patriots felt that
tarring and feathering q tory was 3 genuine
patent Yankee frebrand-Ysnkeeism. They
little imagined that when Richard Occur de
Leon set out on one OF his crussdes, among the
orders he issued to his camp Of soldiers was that
any one who robbed ahen-roost should be tarred
and feathered. Many man who lived in Con-
necticnt has repeated the story Of taking chill
dren TO the limits OF the town and giving them
. sound thrashing TO enforce their memory Of
the spot. But the Burgundians in France, In .
Law new !, 100 years old, attributed valor In the
east Of France because 1t had . la. that the
district and there soundiy whipped, in order
that they might forever remember where the
limits came. So We have very few new things
