containing juice which ierments in
his stomach and intoxicates him to
such an extent that he strays from his
usual haunts and follows his nose.
Thus it came to pass til t o deer in

also in liquor lying dead drunk "
in ditch on tho road to the village of
Queue en- Brie. The peasant, delighted
at the godsend, tied the deer's legs to-

deer, reused from his drunken sleep
by this treatment, became SO trouble
some that the peasant, who was of an
inventive turn, took off his blouse,
passed it over the deer's head, and i'm

USEFUL HINTs.-If coal fire is low,
throw on a tablespoonful of salt, and
it will help it very much. A little gin
ger put into sausage meat improves the
flavor. In icing cakes, dip the knife
frequently into cold water. In boiling
meat for soup, use cold water to extract
the juices. If the meat is wanted for
itself alone. plunge in boiling water ut
once. You can get bottle or barrel of
oil off any carpet or wooden stuff by
applying dry buckwheat plentifully and
faithfully. Never put water to such q

keep these in if possible. Cook over q

both sides. Place on a platter ; salt and
pepper to taste. Beef having a ten
dency to be tough can be made very
palatable by stewing gently for two
hours, with pepper and salt, taking out
about pint of the liquor when half
done, and letting the rest boil into the
meat. Brown the meat in the pot.
After taking up, make gravy OF the
pint of liquor saved. A small piece of
charcoal in the pot with boiling cab

soap will ruin them. Tumblers that
have had milk in them should never
be put in hot water. A spoonful of
stewed tomatoes in the. gravy OF either
roasted or fried meats is an improve

the most eflicacious remedy that can
be applied to boil. Peel it carefully,
wet it and apply it to the part affected.
