2 teaspoonfuls of mustard and salt stir
red in a thick paste; next the oil; then
the cayenne and the yelks OF 2 hard
boiled eggs, mashed very fine. Then 2
raw eggs, and lastly the vinegar. This
is for chicken only.
Persons who have a taste for rhu-
barb or pieplant, are reminded by the
Western Rural that the stalks may be
pared, cut in pieces an inch long, and
dried the same as apples or peaches, or
stewed and canned like small fruits, thus
affordipg an excellent relish out Of sea-
son.
Strawberry Preserves: Into per-
fectly clean porcelain or brass kettle,
put your hulled Strawberries and pour
over them sugar in the proportion Of l
of a pound of sugar to each pound Of
fruit; let them stand an hour, then put
them on the fire, boil them rapidly 20
minutes, set them off to cool, and pot
them, covering carefully.
To Prepare Beefsteak with TOma-
to Sauce: Take q dozen and half toma-
toes, scald and skin them, then stew
them slowly in half pint of good beef
gravy; season and add on IN cut up fine
If liked. Stew for l hour. When done.
broil nice steak very carefully and
quickly; and as soon as done, put it in
to hot platter; spread butter over it,
season with salt and pepper, and then
pour the sauce boiling hot over the
steak, and serve hot.
Lemon Pies: teacup powdered
sugar, tablespoonful butter, egg, /
lemon-juice and grated rind, remov-
ing the seeds with care; teacupful
boiling water, l tablespoonful corn
starch dissolved in cold water. Stir
the corn-starch into the water, cream
the butter and sugar and stir over them
the hot mixture. When quite cool add
the lemon and the beaten egg. Remove
the inner rind of the lemon and mince
very small. Bake with one crust. s
To make beef Ia mode, choose
from the round of beef as large a piece
as you require. If you can get the Sec
ond cut, lard it with fat bacon, either
by making missions with sharp point
ed knife, into which push the strips of
bacon about half an inch square and
two or three inches long, or put in
strips of the same dimensions with q
larding- needle; make several incisions
and fill them with savory dressing of
bread in which there is a little chopped
pork and stuff it with the same, skew
ering it well together; tie it in good
form with Irvine. Put some pieces of
pork in pot, and when fried to q crisp,
take them out, lay in the beef and turn
it until nicely Drowned all over, then
add scarcely enough of water to cover
it, with large onion, two carrots
sliced, dozen cloves, small bunch Of
sweet herbs, pepper and salt; cover
closely and stew slowly four to six
hours, according to size. The water
must have boiled down to make rich
gravy, and care must be taken that it
does not burn; it may be thickened
slightly with Drowned -four If desired.
Cure for lngrowing Nails on Toes
Take little tallow and put it into q
spoon and heat it over the lamp until it
becomes very hot; then put it on the
sore or granulation. The effect will be
almost magical. The operation causes
very little pain if the tallow is perfectly
heated. T1I
How often does one see children's
dresses and aprons torn or pulled out of
shape. by hanging up by the neck while
still damp from the ironing! This
should never be. The tintiest apron or
dress, unless always folded, should have
a loop attached TO the inside for hang

hole instead of the neck prevents that
part being pulled out of shape. This
applies with equal force to the dresses
of the mothers.
THAT THE PHoSoGRAPH can "bottle up"
the voice and pass it down to future ages is
indeed q wonder but Is no. the restoration of
