long and rather wide Mt the corners, Is
trimmed around the corner, which gives
temporary relief. But it then begins
to grow wider in the side where it was
out of, and as the shoe presses the flesh
against the corner the nail cuts more

BILE. To treat ingrUwing nails,
proceed as follows: Begin the effort at
cure by simply application to the ten
der part of small quantity of chloride
of iron. 1t is found in the drug stores
in liquid form, though sometimes in
powder. There is Immediately mod
crate sensation of pain or burning. In
o few minutes the tender surface is felt
to be dried up, tanned or mummitied,
and it ceases to be painful. The patient
who could not before put his foot to the
floor now finds that he can walk without
pain. BY permitting the hardened,
woodlike flesh to remain two or three
weeks, il can easily be removed by
soaking the foot III warm water. By
wearing shoes of reasonably good size
and shape, all future trouble will be
avoided.
PLAIN Plum CAKE.-Four pounds of
-four, one pound of dripping, the same
of good moist sugar, three pounds of
sultana raisins, quarter of pound of
candied peel, one teaspoonful of mixed
spice, two small teaspoonfuls of bicar-
Donate of soda, one quart of sour milk
or buttermilk, and small pinch of salt.
Rub the dripping well but lightly into
the -four, then throw in the sugar, raj
sins, peel and spice, and mix all well
together; dissolve the soda in table
spoonful of water and add it TO the
buttermilk Just before wetting the cake
with it, which must not be until you are
quite ready to put it into the oven.
Have your tins well creased with good
butter aud half-fll them with your cake
mixture; bake as usual. Cake made
after this recipe will be found very light
and wholesome. Caraway seeds or cur
rants may be substituted for the raislns.
BoUILM BEEF.-Prepare your vegeta-
bles, two carrots, two turnips, one head
of celery, two onions, four cloves, herbs
sown in muslin, few peppercorns, a
little salt; put all these in your pot,
with about a quart of water, and let
them gently boil an hour before you put
your beef in; then fill up your pot with
water, and put your beef in. Seven
pounds take about three and a half
hours to boil. After it boils, be sure
to skim your pot well as 1t boils up.
Allow your cabbage three quarters of
an hour to boil; your little suet dump
hngs twenty minutes. For gravy, melt
little butter in a saucepan with little
-four; add the liquid in which the beef
has been boiled; add little soy. This
gravy must be ready to pour over the
cabbage and carrots when dished up.
Put the cabbage and carrots IN vege-
table dish when you pour the gravy
over them. Glaze the beef over.
SwEETBREADs WITH TOMATOES. Take
sweetbreads and parboil them, put them
in a stewpan and season with salt and
cayenne pepper to taste; place over a
slow fire; mix one large tablespoonful
of Drowned -four with small piece of
butter, add leaf of mace; stir butter
and gravy well together and let all stew
for half an hour; then set the stewpan
in the oven, and when the sweetbreads
are nicely Drowned place them on a
dishpan, Pour the gravy into a half
pint of stewed tomatoes +hickened with
teaspoonful of flour nd small piece
of butter, and season Srain it through
wire sieve into the stewpan, let it come
to boil and stir until done; then pour
over the sweetbreads, and send to the
table very hot.
GREEN TOMATO SAUCR.-SGce toma-
toes; put them in a weak solution of
salt and water for two days; then scald
them well, as the salt is not to season
but to tougher them little. Put them
in kettle with water enough to just
prevent them from burning, and let
them slowly cook for an hour; then add
quart of vinegar, one full tablespoon
full of powdered mace, allsp1ce and
cloves, one half spoonful Of mustard
seed, one teacup of brown sugar, and a
few slices of onion. A little celery seed
or other haYoring of celery is an improve
ment. Pour this on and cook half
hour longer. This is an excellent relish.
For chair or sofa back take square
or oblong piece of cream-colored linen
monte cloth; on this work in outline
stitch bouquet of flowers or picture
of any kind; at each side of the cloth
pull out threads for about two inches,
leaving a little space outside, and
enough also to make narrow hem.
Catch the threads together at intervals
and run in bright ribbon of the exact
width of the space left; fringe out the
ends of the ribbon and of the monte
cloth.
EVERY cook knows how disagreeable
it is to have the nutmeg or cinnamon
which is added to cream and sugar
for pudding sauce rise to the top of the
sauce, and when it Is served to have the
first spoonful taken out too highly fla
yored and the rest without taste. To
remedy this mix the nutmeg or CHINA
mon with sugar before pouring on the
cream; it will then be gradually distrib-
uted through the sauce. Pour the
cream on little at time and the spice
Will tend to dissolve.
