uz..n ol;.a, of cto1a broa1 For zach pQrS0n

and save your steps. Do not make ten
Journeys to the cellar when n is sutici-

set the table, think over all you require
milk, butter fruit-and instead Of going
for each separate thing a separate time,
let one going do.

half done, place round it some large apples;
when done, place your pork on a dish With
the apples round it, put flour and water on
in your pan, (best) iour Drowned, some
thyme and sage boil, strain through a
very small colander over your pork and
apples.
BETTER THAN oAP-A subscriber from
~Tunkhannock, Pa, writes as follows:
Please pass the knowledge around for the
sake of the hands Of suffering womankind
and the pockets of impecunious husbands
and housekeepers. A few spoonfuls of
milk in a pan Of hot water will remov the
grease and dirt from dishes, pots, and pans
far more readily than soap; at less expense
in money and chapped hands, keeping tbs
bright and clean, and with far less accu-
mutation of grease upon the dish-pan and
surface of water than when soap is used
