of cheese crumbs into half pint of rich
milk boil until it melts. Have two eggs

per and butter to taste. Turn IN the eggs;

How TO PREVENT LAMP CH1MNEYs
CRACK1NG.-A Leipsic journal which makes
specially of matters relating to glass, gives
method which it asserts will prevent chin
neys from cracking. The treatment will
not only render lamp chinlneys, tumblers
and like articles more durable, but may be
applied with advantage to crockery, stone
ware. porcelain, etc. The chimneys, tum-
blers etc., are put into pot filled with cold
water. to which some common table salt has
been added. The water is we'll boiled ove1
a fire, and then allowed to cool slowly
When the articles are taken out and washed
they will be found to resist afterward any
sudden changes of temperature. The pro-
cess is simply one of annealing, and thu
slower the cooling part Of it is conducted
the more effective will be the work.
SAND BAG FOR THE S1CK-RooM.-One
of the most convenient articles to be use6
in sick-room is sand bag. Get some
clean, fine sand, dry it thoroughly in ket
tie on the stove; make a bag about eigh
inches square Of flannel, fill it with dr.,
sand, sew the opening carefully together
and cover the bag with cotton or liner
cloth. This will prevent the sand from
sitting out, and will also enable you to hea
the bag quickly by placing it in the oven
or even on top of the stove. After once
using this you will never again attempt te
warm the feet or hands of a sick person
with bottle of hot water or brick. Th'
sand holds the heat a long time; and thu
bag can be tucked up to the back withou
hurting the invalid. It is good plan *
to make two OF three Of the bags and keel
them ready for use.
