SteWed Steak.-lake a round steak,
fry it in butter just to brown, but not
cook, then place in stewpan; take one
onion, one carrot, and two turnips,
and pare, cutting into pieces the size
of dice; fry brown in the frying pan;
then toss into stewpan with enough
water to cover. Let it stew two
hours: then add salt and pepper, and
thicken with -four. Dissolve the -four
in little catsup or sauce. This i'm
proves the flavor. Serve with mashed
potatoes.
Russia Cream.-Four eggs, one cup
full of sugar, one quart of milk, one
half box of Cox's gelatine dissolved in
One-half pint of warm water. Beat
the yolks of the eggs and sugar togeth-
err. and cook with the milk like GUS
tard. Take off the stove and add the
Well-bcaten whites of the eggs, STIR
ring rapidly for few moments. Now
add the gelatine, and then teaspoon
full of vanilla. Pour it into pretty
shaped dish to harden, and turn it out
on platter and cut off in blocks, as
ice cream. Make this the day before
you use it.
Eggs Newport Style.-Take one pint
of bread crumbs and soak in one pint
of milk. Beat eight eggs very light,
and stir with the soaked crumbs, beat
ing five minutes. Have ready sauce
pan in which are two tablespoonful
of butter, thoroughly hot, but not
soorching; pour in the mixture, sea-
son with pepper and salt, as the mass
is opened and stirred with the ''scram-
bling" which should be done quickly
with the point of the knife, for three
minutes, or until thoroughly hot.
Serve on hot platter, with squares of
buttered toast.
Speaking of Toast-Comparatively
few know what really good toast is.
A hasty SINCE of one or both sides
does not make toast nor do thin sli-
ces Of bread dried through. Cut slices
of uniform thickness, plump half
inch OF five-eighths inch; move around
over brisk fire, to have all parts
toasted alike; keep only SO near the
Goals that the pieces will be heated
through when both sides are well
Drowned. If the slightest point is
blackened or charred, scrape it off, or
it will spoil the flavor of the whole.
If covered with an earthen bowl, it
will keep both warm and moist. A
clean towel or napkin will answer if
it is to go at once to the table. But
nobody can make good toast out of
poor bread. Stale bread may be used
for milk-toast; sour bread may be i'm.
proved by toasting it through; heavy
bread makes poor toast. Sweet light
bread, only day old, or less, makes
the best toast.-[Ana. Agr5cultu''ist.
A Very Good Preparation of City,
cerine to have always on hand can be
readily prepared by any apothecary or
druggist: In two ounces of sweet oil
of almonds melt, by a slow heat, half
an ounce of spermaceti and one drachm
of white wax. Then add one ounce of
good glycerine, stirring until cold.
When cold, scent it by stirring in we'll
a little oil of roses. Keep in small
jars or small wide-necked bottles. In
hot weather, keep closely cOrked, as it
sometimes gets little rancid If long
exposed to warmth. Half or fourth
of the above quantities may be used.
Every drugstore should keep a jar of
it, and recommend its use. 1t is ex-
cellent for softening the skin, for most
injured skin surfaces that are not open
sores, for chafed places, for moistening
corns or callouscd feet or toes, and es-
pecially for chapped face, lips or hands.
When the hands are chapped or crack
Cd, or roughened by cold, wash them
clean with soap, and rub them we'll
with this glycerine ointment, wiping
it off enough to prevent soiling cloth
ing. If this is done at night, the hands
will be soft and in good condition in
the morning, except when deeply
cracked. It is very good to apply to
the hands after washing day." This
is an excellent preparation for use by
those afflicted with the distressing
trouble known as hemorrhoids or piles.
