How to Make Chicken Salad.
Pierre Blot says that this salad i.
made with chicken. When cold til,
meat is detached from the bones ant
cut i'll small dice then cut table celery
IN the same shape, and nearly as mucl
of it as of chicken cut also in small
pieces little of lettuce. Mix the three
well together add salt, pepper, vine
gar, and very little oil stir well, ant
place on a dish of an oblong shape
give to the mixture the shape of n small
mound on the middle of the dish, no
quite as wide as the breadth of the dish
and not quite as long either, and hav,
1t as smooth as possible. Then take
mayonnaise sauce, and by means of
table knife, spread some of the sauc,
over it in a thin layer, just enough t,
cover the whole salad. When the sauc,
is over it, split hard boiled egg in tive
lengthwise, then again the two halve
IN two, and again each piece in two, tn,
white side of the piece being on tn,
table, and commencing to cut on tn,
yolk; you have then eight pieces il
each egg cut each piece in two acros
the middle, put the pieces around tn
salad, the white part touching it, anC
the middle part or cut end resting OF
the dish, each piece of egg touching
another; cut thus as many eggs as ar
necessary to surround the salad. Thel
cut another egg in two across the mid
die, cut off a little piece from tn
smaller end of each piece, and pu
those two ends together; scallop tn
whole egg all around with a sharl
knife take off part of the yolk fron
the top half, so as to make holloy
INTO 1t, and then put into that holloy
the centre leaves of head of lettuce
after which you put the egg on tn
middle of the salad. Add few caper
here and there on the leaves, also som
all around the salad, and one on tn
top of each piece of egg. Stone half
dozen olives, and place them on tn
salad also; then cut red beets, boile
and picked, i'll fancy shapes, and pu
them on also. Very thin slices of lerlo
can be placed all around the borders Q
the dish, together with petals of roses
pinks and violets. Picked cucumber
or any other fruits may also be used t
decorate the salad.

A Newark gentleman who suffere
horribly from pains from neuralgia
hearing of noted physician in Ger

doctor freely gave him the simpl
remedy used, which was nothing bu
poultice and tea made from our commo
field thistle. The leaves are macerate
and used on the parts affected as

Worth Remembering.
Keep some strong spirits of hartshor
IN ground glass bottle. A teaspoon
full in a tablespoonful OF water wi
clean combs and brushes and restor
colors injured by acids. A weaker sc
luton, applied to ill-smelling feet an
arm-pits, removes the odor, and re
moves the grease spots from carpet
and clothing. Aweak solution in waite
makes a good wash for the hair, an
stimulates it's growth when impaired b
fever, and cleanses the scalp effectuallN
A weak solution, scattered over th
leaves of plants, from a soft, fine, lin
ber brush, gives new life to plants
