CARROTS FOR EGes. 1T is not generally
known that boiled carrots, when properly
prepared, form an excellent substitute for
eggs in puddings. They must, for this
purpose, be boiled and mashed and passed
through coarse cloth or hair-seive
strainer. The pulp is then introduced
among the other ingredients of the pud-
ding, to the total omission of eggs. A
pudding made up in this way is much
lighter than when eggs are used and is
much more palatable. On the principle
of economy this fact is worthy of the pru-
dent housewives attention.-N. Y. Neos
WINTER SUocoTAsH. - This may be
made with Limas, horticulturals, garden
beans or white field-beans. The latter are
seldom used for succotash, but they make
il very nicely. The method of proceeding
in each case is the same. Boil the beans
without soaking until three-fourths done.
In the meantime put an equal amount
dry of dried sweet corn with three parts
water, and let it steep on the stove for two
hours without boiling, then add it to the
beans and let them cook together gently
until the beans are done. Serve warm
and do not break the bcans.-Sctence of

How TO JUDGE THE WEATHER.-The
colors of the sky, at different times, are n
wonderful guidance. Not only docs a
clear sunset prcsage fair weather, but there
are other tints which speak with clearness
and accuracy. A bright yellow in the
evening indicates wind; apale yellow wet; I;
a neutral gray color constitutes favorable
sign in the evening-an unfavorable one in
the morning. The clouds are full of
meaning in themselves. IF they are soft,
underlined and feathery, the weather will
be fine; if the edges are hard, sharp and
definite, it will be foul. Generally speak
ing, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind
and rain; while more quiet and delicate
tints bespeak fair weather. Simple as
these maXims are, the British Board of
Trade has thought fit to publish them for
the use of seafaring men,--EGchdnge.
How TO MAKE A VALUABLE RECIPE
BooK.-Every housekeeper should have
her own recipe book-a book of her own
creation, Of gradual growth and proved
excellence. In the first place buy blank
book and write your name and date on the
first leaf. Divide the book into as many
different departments as you wish, heading
each page with the department to which it
belongs, as follows Recipes for cleaning,
recipes for soups, recipes for cooking
meats, recipes for cakes and so on through
family cooking. Then comes cooking for
the sick, care of the sick, and all the
various things that are part of woman's
duty, and for which, unfortunately, there
is no school but experience. Number
your pages if they are not numbered in the
beginning, and make an index, leaving
blank spaces in the index to correspond
with the blank pages between departments
which you do not expect to fill immediate.
ly. Write down under these different heads
every recipe which you have actually tried
or the results Of which you have seen in
the houses of your friends, and enter the
page in the index.
