Poison OAK AND IvY.-Last summer
we published number of recipes for
the curing of woodland poisons. Here
is the specific employed by DR.. s. A.
Brown, U. S. N, Mare Island. CAL,
as published in the New York Medical
Record: "This specific is bromine. I
have used it with the same unvarying
success IN at least forty cases. The
eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, and it promptly
begins to diminish. Within twenty
four hours, if the application be per-
sisted in, the patient is entirely cured.
I used the bromine dissolved in olive
oil, in cosmoline, and in glycerine.
1.-The application with glycerine is
painful. and, I think, possesses no ad-
vantage to compensate for irritation.
The strength of the solution is ten to
twenty drops of bromine to an ounce of
oil, used by rubbing gently on the af-
fected parts three or four times day,
and especially on going to bed at night.
The bromine is SO volatile that the So
luton should be renewed within
twenty-four hours of its preparation.
FRIoAssEE OF COLD BREr.-Take
some roast beef that has been under
done, and having cut off the fat and
skin, put it, with the bones broken up
into stewpan, with two large onions,
sliced, two good-sized potatoes, sliced,
and bunch of summer savory, and
leaf of sweet basil, or any other sweet
herbs you may have handy. Add to
this the gravy and about pint of warm
water; cover it closely, and let it sim
mer for about an hour, then skim and
strain it, carefully removing every par
ticle of fat in another saucepan melt
piece of butter the size of walnut,
which thicken with spoonful of flour,
stir it few minutes and then add the
strained gravy to it; let it come to q
boil, and then put to it tablespoonful
of catsup, and the beef cut in thin
slices; let it simmer from five to ten
minutes, but on no occasion let it boil,
as this would render the meat tasteless
and insipid.
BREAKFAST DIsH.-Take about half
pound dried beef, first sliced thin,
then pulled in small pieces. Have
quart of milk boiling. into which put
the beef with good piece of butter
and little pepper. When it comes to
q boil thicken with little flour or
corn-starch, then toast bread, slice
for each member of the family, and
poach in hot water an equal number of
eggs; place one ON each slice of toast;
put all on large platter and pour
over the above dressing and send to
the table hot; lean ham may be used
in place of the beef.
BEAN SoUp.-Take pint of beans
and put them in two quarts of cold
water; place on the stove and cook till
they are soft, and reduce it about one
quart if you have no cold pork or
rather meats, put in with your beans
about half apound salt pork; about
haitian hour before your dinner hour
cut your meat up fine and put back in
the kettle, and mash any of the beans
that remain whole; then put in two
quarts OF rich milk, O piece of butter
as large as hens egg, pepper and
salt,to taste.
DEvILEp TURKEYS LEas.-Score the
legs of roasted turkey; sprinkle them
with cayenne, black pepper and salt;
boil them we'll and pour over them the
following sauce, quite hot: Three
spoonfuls Of gravy, one of butter,
rubbed in little -four, one of lemon
juice, glass of port wine, spoonful
OF mustard, some vinegar, two or three
chopped green chillies, o spoonful OF
mushroom catsup and Harvey sauce.
MINoE PIE MEATs.-Four pounds of
meat after it is boiled, eight pounds of
apples. one and one-half pounds OF suet.
two pounds of raisins, four pounds of
sugar, two quarts OF cider, one pint of
molasses, two tablespoonfuls of CHINA
mon, two tablespoonfuls of cleves, one
teaspoonful Of alspice. one teaspoonful
Of mace. three nutmegs.
RICE PUDDNG.--Take one gallon of
new milk (skim will do), one teacupful
OF rice, two teacups of sugar, put in an
earthen pan, cover and put in stove
to bake. 1t will take two or three
hours to cook it soft. Raisins are an
improvement. This is better than
cooking it on the stove.
To remove stains from knife handles,
rub with pulverized pumice stone and
soap; then polish with dry whiting.
