This term has an American origin. In 1914 n
hungry pilot entered a New York porter-honse
Pearl street, where lunch as well as drink
could be obtained. Morrison, the keeper, had
nothing bat the beef ordered for the next day
family dinner, in the shape of a srlOin roasting
piece, and from this he offered the pilot cut,
which he accepted. After ravenOusly devOurng
it, he turned TO his host who expecting dis
satisfaction with the order, q Messmate, another
steak just like that" After having finished his
steaks and porter the old pilot ordered his steaks
to be cut off the roasting piece for the future"
and soon his companions learned the good that
lies in the ''small steak" and Morrison was OBJ
liged to order his butcher TO cut his siroin into
steaks for his customers, and the butcher, order
ing his subordinates and messengers, designated
them as 'pOrter-house steaks" and increasing
custom and extended rupnte soon established the
term now SO common in all eating houses Of Onr
country and Enplana.

How 10 Cook N Turuin.

/ will ask the reader to cook two turnips in
two different ways The first is to be peeled and
Sliced and left to soak in cold water for an hour
or more. The slices are to be boiled until quite
tender, and then are to be drained and nicely
mashed with butter. This is the most common
way of cooking them, and it has the demerit of
washing out the gum and the sugar, and the 9TH
fine constituents of the root, and consequently
the flavor is very much reduced. The other root
is TO be washed quite clean; but it is not to be
peeled, or cut, or soaked. Boil it whole in its
Jacket" 1t will take twice as long to cook as
the one that was cut. When, by trying it with
a fork, yOu find it quite tender, take it up. peel
IT, press it moderately, and mash it with butter.
Instead of being, perhaps You will expect,
strong, rank, or bitter it will be deliciously full
favored, and will contain all the nOurishment
that was in it before it was cooked.-Gdrdener's

Night Dresses for Children.

\ mother writing in the Household says that
she made her little ones night dresses of cotton
flannel, with legs to them, that if he got I'M.
covered he should not take cold. Observing that
he lost flesh and grew cold toward morning, she
called in physician. She continues:
''He said that cotton flannel was not the mate
rial for children, for when it gets wet it cings
to them and is cold rs ice. He also denounced
the idea of making legs to the dresses said that
the limbs should not be separated. but should
come together. His directions were to make a
night dress of flannel long enough to lay on the
floor half yard just like big bag; run a strin g
in the bottom of this and when the child goes
TO bed tie it up. In this way the legs can not
get ont, and there is perfect freedom of motion.
We did so at once, and it worked like a charm.
No more laying awake nights and wondering
what the trouble is. The little fellow sleeps
soundly, and wakes in the morning refreshed
and with good appetite

a Too Gallant Conductor.

Conductor B is always very polite to the
ladies, particularly provided they young
and handsome. Miss c was handed on

was .'glass-to be handled with care" An extra

For TIE LADIEs.-S Save the tea leaves for a
few days, then steep them in tin pail or pan
for half an hour, strain through sieve, and use
the tea to wash all vanished paint. 1t requires
very little "elbow polish" as the tea acts a
strong detergent, cleansing the paint from all its
impurities, and making the varnish equal TO new.
1t cleans window sashes and OlclOths, indeed
any Vanished surface is improved by applica-
ton. 1t washes window-pInes aud mirrors much

Care of tiie Feet,

Concerning this subject, the Scientific american
very truly says: Many are careless in the keep
ing of the feet. If they wash them once a week
they think they doing well. They do not
consider that the largest pores located in the
bottom of the foot, and that the most offensive
matter is discharged through the pores They
wear stockings from the beginning TO the end of
the week without change, which become per-
tectly saturated with offensive matter. Ill health
is generated by such treatment of the feet The
pores are not repellants, but absOrbents, and this
fetid matter, to greater less extent, is taken
back into the system. The feet should be wash
ed every day with pure water only, as well as
the armpits, from which an offensive Odor is also
emitted, unless daily ablution is practiced.
Stockings should not be worn more than day or
two at time. They may be worn one day, and
then aired and summed and worn another day, if
necessary

The value of Hamamelis in relieving pain, and
reducing Inflammation, is not as generally under
stood, as it should be. In the little experience
that have had in its use, have found it, more
than once to have effect almost magical. A
little of the fluid extract, mixed with common
bread and milk poultice, will sometimes insure
peaceful nights rest to suffering with q

BURYING PoTATOEs.-The Canada Farmer gives
the following methods of burying potatoes Po-
tatOes should be laid in compact heaps and GOV.
cred carefully with straw. Over the straw put
about eight inches of earth, and over the earth a
good thick layer of straw. Over all, put six or
eight inches of earth. Frost will go through al
most any thickness of earth alone, but it Will
suffice to keep it in place. By nsing straw and

IN answer TO the question: Why are farmers
so liable to rheumatism 1.-THE Science Of Health
says; " Because they wear wet clothing, heat and
suddenly chill the body, Over-eat after very hard
work, and because thew do NOT keen the skin in
a vlgorons, clean and healthy condition. If farm
ers would avoid suddenly cooling the body after
great exertion. if they would be careful not to go
with wet clothing and wet feet, and if they
would not over eat when in an exhausted condi-
ton; and battle daily, using much friction, they
would have less rheumatism
