WHAT sAKEs HOME HAPPY


WHAT MAKES HOME HAPPY,
If home is the kingdom of God, and
the kingdom Of Gods home may be, il
is because the spirit of God is there. II
is because the woman who is the queen
of that home makes home the centre Of
her thought, her hope and prayer. II is
because the man who has sworn to love
her, TO honor her and cherish her knows
that he best keeps his oath by making
her home and his home glad, cheerful
and beautiful; because he does not neglect
il and desert il. To those two there
grow up children who know that the
noblest duty is the duty next their hand:
who are glad to surprise their mother
with a new pleasure or to relieve her
fir m some old care; children who find
their father their best companion, and
who have no secret
TO MAKE METuEGLIN.
Mix honey with water until it will
float an egg to the surface, exposing q
small section of il above the liquid.
Strain and rise the temperature gradu-
ally, and at the SCUM rises skim it off,
When the boiling point is reached take
u
cask, leaving the bung out until properly
fermented-not so long as to become
sour-and then bung tightly; or, If bot
tied, cork well. II may be used soon
after making, but age greatly improves
the flavor. Another way is TO put warm
water and honey in cask, and after
twelve hours or so shake well and add
hops and yeast-of the former half a
pound and of the latter one pint for
about forty gallons. When properly fer
mcnted the air should he excluded as in
the first case
BAKED APPLES.
This is a very healthful dish, and may
be made very enticing one. Pare and
core large, juicy apples, but do not break
them in pieces; fill the centres with
sugar, little lemon juice and thin bit
of the yellow part of the lemon rind;
put Glove in each apple; lay them in
pan with little water IN the bottom;
sprinkle sugar on the tops then bake;
baste them often. and when done set
away TO cool. Put them ON ice if you
can, the colder they are the better.
Whip cream and spread over them thick
ly; send powdered sugar around with
them. If you cannot get cream content
yourself by serving the apples with rich
milk and sugar, or boiled custard may
be poured over them.
