TIE STORM The storm Of last pight. al
though we got little or none of it here, was
quite severe to the southwark of us and cooled
IF the atmosphere considerably. Down the
river it is reported to have been one of the
most severe storms experienced in many years
The steamer Lady of the Lake was unable to
make laodiDg at some of the river wharveS,
and had to bring her passengers to this city
and send them down on the John W. Thomp-
son, this morpiog. The heavy black clouds
and vivid flashes of lightning could be seen
very plainly from this city, and the cooling
effects of the storm we're very agreeably ex
perieuced The thermometer to'day has been
standing at about 80 degrees, and cool and
refreshing breeze has been blowing all day.

Pigs feet when properly cooked, make one Of
the best of dishes. In preparing them, the
water in. which they are cooked should be very
hot. The hoofs should be peeled off With
sharp-pointcd knife; the hard, rough places cut
off, then thoroughly singcd and boiled till ten
boil about four or fire hours; when taken up
they should be placed in cold water, bones re-
moved, and the whole carefully packed in q
wooden or stone vessel. After it Is packed
close, boil the jclly-likc liquor it WAS boiled in
with IN equal quantity OF vinegar; salt to taste;
add cloves, cinnamon, and allspicc to suit tue
taste. The vinegar in which the ingredients
were added should be poured on the sousc
scalding-hot and covered. When wanted for
cooking, it may be cut in slices and prepared
either Tor for frying or broiing-the former be-
slices cold. This is an excellent receipt, il di-
1cctions arc followed.

valuable contributions I should like also to
add my testimony in favor Of ''Whole-Whcat
Flour,', Wheat has been called "tllc royal
grain," and in whole-wheat -four, or attrition
flour, We get the royal grain, While in white
flour of the very best quality we lose nearly
four-lfths of the most important elements.
I know from experience that whoIe-wheat -four
makes sweet and delicious bread, gems,
aud 1nufIi1s, far superior to anything I've
ever tasted from Grullam flour; but did not
know that nice cake could be made from it until
I rcnl in your issue Of Saturday, March 225,
letter FROM Mrs L. c. j., in which She says she
makes from whoie-wheat flour crulEcrs, drop
biscuit, gingerbread, junlbles, and spongc-cakc.
I shall be very glad to avail myself Of her kind
offer to furnish recipes for them through the
