FARM AND FIRESIDE.

BLANKET CAKEs.-Into l quart of
milk put lump of butter the size of
an egg; let the milk get warm enough
to melt the butter; stir in flour sufficient
to form quite stiff batter, and des-
sert-spoonful of salt; one-third cake
compressed yeast dissolved in little
warm water; cover tightly; let stand
in warm place over night; fry on
griddle. +
MACARoNI.-Take pound of maca-
roni and stew in saucepan of boiling
water, slightly salted, until soft and ten
der. When drained, put layer in a
baking-dish, and CRATE over it layerof
cheese, adding bits of butter. Put layer

ing with layer of cheese and cup of
milk. Bake covered ] hour, then brown

BLACK ROACH TRAP.-Fill an earth.
en- or tin wash-basn three parts full of
water sweetened with molasses, wetting
around it in such way that the reaches

work for water-bugs as well. ,..
To RESTORE THE HAIR AFTER ILL
NEss.-Equal parts of best brandy and
strong black tea, shaken well together
and rubbed well into the roots of the
hair once daily, will usually restore the
hair after long illness. Be careful not
to scratch or irritate the scalp with
rough combing and brushing. The
mixture should be made at least once
in three days, even in cool weather.
DANDY PUDDING.-1 quart of milk,
the yelks of 2 eggs, B tablespoonfuls
of corn-starch, a little sugar; scald the
milk, and when very hot stir into it the
corE-starch and eggs, stirring it briskly
a pudding dish; when quite cold, pour
over it a frosting made of the whites of
the eggs, allowing tablespoonful of
sugar to each egg; flavor with lemon
juice; brown slightly in the oven.
