RICE CAKES. Use all the rice

it is really inexcusable for any
cook to throw in the yolks with

These cakes are delicious.-The
griddle sholld be hot, and when
first put on the stove a little salt
allowed to burn on it. The best
and most economical grease for
griddles is a piece of fat ham, cut
with the skin on. A piece Of the
size of an egg should last several
mornings.
To PREVENT LAMP EXPLo-
sIoNs. The following cominuni-
cation appeared in the Philadel-
phia Record: ut is not generally
known that a tablespoonful OF
fine salt dropped into q lamp will
effsctually prevent the explosion
of the lamp ard also prevent the
breaking of the chimney after
washing in cold water. A mum
Der of agents are selling a small
powder for so cents package foi
this purpose which is nothing but
fine salt colored to deceive. =

If horses paw in the stable, take
q light chain ana fasten it above
the knee. Let it hang loose, just
so it will touch the floor. If horses
kick in the stable fasten the chain
on the hind leg the same way.
They will keep quiet while the
chain is on and there is no danger
OF hurting them. To cure a halter
breaker take half-inch rope a
little over twice the length OF the
horse, make loop in the middle
of the rope $50 IL cannot slip pass
the horses tail through it, then
pass the ends of the rope
through the rings of the halter,
and hitch the ends. When he
tries to pull, the rope will slip
through the rings and all the
strain comes on the tail. l have
seen several horses broke in this
way.
LOCKJAw.-A correspondent OF
the Scientific american says: "Let
any one who has an attack OF lock
jaw take a small quantity of tur-
pentine, warm il and pour it on
the wound, no matter where the
wound Is, and relief will follow in
less than minute. Nothing bet
ter can be applied to a severe cut
or bruise than cold turpsntine it
will give certain relief almost in
stantly. Turpentine is also SOW
ereign remedy for Group. Saturate
piece of flannel with it and place
the flannel on the throat and chest,
and in every severe case three or
four drops on a lump OF sugar may
be taken inwardly. Every family
should have o bottle on hand.
