HOUSEKEEPERS HELP.

REGILDIEG PICTURE FRAMEs.-Get
bottle of gold paint, take sauce dish and
mix up little at time, for it is in two
bottles, and apply with a small paint brush !;
it will cost sixty-fVe cents, and will regilo
a number.
BOILING CABBAGE.-When you boil cab
bage, turnips, onions or any other vegetables
that give out strong odor, put piece OF
charcoal or red pepper (being careful not
to break the skin of it) into the pot with
them, and you will find that this is a strong
deodorizer.
FRIED ToMAToEs.-Cut the tomatoes ID
slices without SHINING. pepper and salt
them and fry in butter until brown. Put
them on a hot platter, and pour little
cream into the butter and juice; when boil
ing hot pour over the tomatoes. This dish
is very nice served with birds.
BUNIoNs.-To cure bunions use pulverized
saltpetre and sweet oil. Obtain from drug
gist five or six cents worth of saltpetre, put
it into a bottle with sufficient olive oil to
dissolve it, shake it up well, and rub the in
famed joints nights and mornings, and
more frequently if painful.
FRIED CABBAGE.-Chop a quart Of cold
boiled cabbage, fry it fifteen minutes with
sufficient butter to prevent burning, season
it highly with pepper and salt, and stir into
it half cupful of cream or milk with a
teaspoonful of -four with it; let it cook five
minutes longer, and serve it hot.
BANANA AND APPLE TART.-Make crust
of fine -four and fresh butter. Make little
crust but make it good. Slice apples fine,
put in dish with three or four bananas
sliced, only adding sugar and perhaps a
little syrup if you have it. Cover crust
over fruit; brush a little melted butter
over top, strew white sugar on and bake
twenty minutes or more as required.
CLEAN MLK-Whoever places much
dependence on the strainer for securing clean
milk will never make gilt-edged butter.
Allowing dirt to get into the milk and then
depending on the strainer to get it out is
poor apology for cleanliness. More or
less of the dirt, especially everything Of a
soluble nature, and some that IS not,
will find its way through the meshes of the
strainer.
SPAGHETTI TOMATO SoUP.-Boil six
ounces ofthe fine white macaroni (spaghettD
in slightly sailed water for fifteen minutes /;
q ;
into saucepan with two quarts of beef
broth, quart of tomato PURGE and little
sugar boil ten minutes longer, skim, pour
into soup tureen, and serve with grated
Parmesan cheese arranged separately on a
plate.
APPLE JELLY-Cut your apples in quar-
tiers (do not pare or core them), dip each
quarter into clear water, and put them into
a jar to cook in the oven until quite tender; ;
then strain the juice as usual, and boil with
a pound of sugar to pint of the juice.
The most delicious jelly will be the result
with the full, pure favor Of the apple
heightened by the cores having been left in
and not spoilt by the Objectionable addition
of lemon peel and juice.
CREAM PIE AND ORANGE DEsERT.-Cut
the oranges in thin slices and sprinkle sugar
over them let them stand for two or three
hours; serve on ordinary fruit plates. The
pie is made with bottom crust only, and
that not thick, but light and flaky. Take
one coffee cup of thick, sweet cream, halfa cup
of pulverized sugar, tablespoonful of flour,
one egg flavor with lemon extract; bake
until you are sure the crust is brown and
hard, so that it will not absorb the custard.
PEACH SHORT CAKE-One quart of
flour, one teaspoonful of salt, two tea
spoonfuls of good yeast powder, two table
spoonful Of butter, one pint of milk. Sift
the flour, salt and powder together,
rub in the butter cold, add the milk and
mix into a smooth dough just soft enough
to handle, divide in half and roll out to the
size of breakfast plates, lay on a creased
baking pan and bake in a hot oven twenty
minutes, then endeayor, if possible, to sepa-
rate the cake without cutting, as cutting
makes them heavy. Have two dozen
peaches peeled and cut in slices, Use half of
them to cover the bottom halves of short
cake, sprinkle plentifully with sugar and
cream, lay on the top halves with the crust
use the rest of the fruit over
them and sugar plentifulIy. Use nice, ripe
peaches.
