mato juice strained, one cup of rice: boil

CARE OF FURS.
Furs mould be combed now and then
while IN use and especially when the
spring approaches. When put away for
the summer they should first be beaten

MACARONT WITH HORSERADIsH.
The cheapness and nourishment of
macaroni make variety in cooking it
desirable. 1t cannot be eaten too often
as food, but it is useless to try it in
variety of ways. It is excellent with
sauce of horseradish. This last may be
merely grated, with vinegar, in the usu-
al way of serving it for roast beef, or it
may have the yolk of an egg beaten up
with the vinegar. Lay the macarom
that has been boiled in salt and water in
q deep dish, with little bit of butter or
cheese on top to make it brown. Eat it
with the herseradish sauce, and it will be
found delicious.
