HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

BATTER PUDDING.-One quart sweet
rich milk, twelve tablespoonfuls flour, a
little salt, eight eggs. Beat the eggs sep
arately, very light, and have the batter
perfectly smooth. Bake quickly, and
send to table Immediately. Serve with
butter sauce.
ENGLISH MUFFINs.-Make a sponge
over night as for bread, using nothing but
yeast, -four, little salt, and tepid water
In the morning heat it up well and pour
into muffin rings upon the griddle. The
batter should be just stiff enough to drop
(not run) from a spoon
SNOWFLAKE CAKE.-Three eggs, one
cup and half sugar, half cup butter, half
cup milk, half teaspoonful soda, one tea
spoonful cream tartar, two cups -four
whites of two eggs, half cup Of sugar,
beaten together. Bake in jelly cake tins,
frost each layer, and sprinkle with grated
cocoanut. This is excellent.
TEE following is said to be reliable
remedy for chills: Take the Juice of
one lemon, put it in cup of clear, strong
coffee and drink ii before eating break
fast, for seven consecutive days. Take
five grains of quinine twice daily, one
hour after eating. The quinine should be
pulverized and placed in gelatine cap
sules, such as are kept by druggists. AL
ways take quinine in this form, as you
can depend upon its being genuine and
Of good strength, which is not the case
when purchased in the form Of pills
BOILED APPLE DUMPING. One pound
Of suet; one pound of flour; heaping tea
spoonful Of salt; chop the suet in a little
flour TO prevent its caking; chop very
ine-as fine as meal then add -four and
mix thoroughly; then add cold water
enough to make a paste; roll as thin as
pie-crust; pare dozen large apples, quar-
ter and core them, keeping each apple
by itself; place the quarters together again
and cut the paste in square to cover the
apple; tie each dumping in a square
cloth, leaving very little room to swell.
Boil an hour, putting them into boiling
water; serve with hard sauce.
FLOATING IsLAND.-Separate the whites
from the yelks of six eggs, and put the
whites in d very large bowl; beat the
yelks smooth and pour upon them one
quart Of sWeetened milk well boiled,
stirring to the right until the consistence
Of cream; a little salt in the custard; to
flavor, pare the yellow rind Of a lemon as
an apple is pared, and drop it into the
boiling milk; let the custard become cold.
For the float beat the whites with one very
large tablespoonful of currant jelly until
the whip or egg-beater will stand erect.
Any other kind Of jelly is too sweet and
insipid. Drop the float on the custard. If
properly beaten it will pile very high.
COOPERATION OF THE WIFE.-No man
ever prospered in the world without the
cooperation of mis- wife. If she unites
In mutual endeavors, or rewards his Ia
bOrs with an endearing smile, with what
confidence will he resort to his daily toll,
meet difficulty and encounter danger, if
he knows that he is not spending his
strength in vain, but that his labor will
be rewarded by the sweets of home! Solic-
ltude and disappointment enter the history
Of every mans life; and he is only half
provided for the voyage who finds but an
associate for happy hours, while for his
months of darkness and distress no SYM
pathizing partner is prepared. -EGcha1qe.
