CArE CIoAKs.-The novelty of the
present season IN outdoor garments Is
a revival Of the winter cloak of many
years ago, shaped and modified in ac-
cordanoe with the better ideas of to-day.
This cape cloak is useful and economi-
cal; the cape Is not detached, but forms
part of the cloak; it admits of q slight
draping at the back, and constitutes
man or visite form. It is fitted in at
the back, and therefore presents neat
and lady-like appearance, and may be
serviceably made in cloth with q braided
trimming for border, and also down the
centre Of tho back, II that is liked. 1t
is much moro desirable form of cloak
for the country, for church wear, and
for riding than the circular, which ex-
poses the arms and chest. It Is beauti-
fully made in dark shades Of cloth, and
also in cashmere cloth in small palm
patterns, with olive shades in them.
These should have black velvet collar.
Another cloak, III imported design, is a
straight sack with mandarin sleeves and
dark velvet COLLAR. It is made in striped
Chinese silk and wool stuf1s with gold
and black in them, the stripes narrow
and indistinct; the lining is quilted sat
ID. Brocaded veIvets aud pl essed plush
are us sd for the outside Of the richest
garments, excepting the few made III
very rich plain velvet, lined with splen-
did furs and clasped with precious
metals. Naturally, of these there are
few. but they must be sad to occupy
the first place, the cost being from $500
to $1,000.
| APPETIZTNG SANpwICHEs.-I equal
quantities of the breast OF q cold boiled
chicken and Of cold boiled tongue.
Chop them very fine; so fine, in fact,
that you cannot distinguish tho separate
particles. Add n good large half-tea-
spoonful OF celery salt, pinch of cay
enne pepper and four tablespoonfuls of
mayonnaise dressing. TEis quantity of
condiments will be enough to season
the breast Of one large chicken and an
equal quantity OF tongue. When this
is perfectly cold, spread some thin slices
of bread with butter. and then with
tbis mixture. Do not prepare them till
you are about ready to serve them. II
you wish to take sandwiches for lunch
when travelling, bo careful not to make
the dressing quite 80 moist us you would
if they are to be eaten at homo. The
better way, it you do not object to the
trouble, is to put the salad filling III
small glass jar, and spread tho sand
wiches as you need them.
DEvILLED CRABs.-One dozen fresh
crabs, boiled and picked (or one can
Of fresh crab meat), quarter of pound
OF fresh butter, one de :sertspoonful of
mustard powder, cayenne pepper and
salt to taste When canned crab is
nsed, draw all tho liquor from the meat
a Obiy fill
equal quantity of fine bread crumbs.
Work the butter to light cream, mix
the mustard we'll with it, then stir IN
very carefully handful at time OF the
mixed crabs and crumbs. Season to
taste with cayenne and salt, fill the
CRIB shells with the mixture, sprinkle
bread crumbs over the tops, put three
small pieces of butter upon the tops of
each, and brown them quickly in a hot
oven. They will puff in baking, and
will be found very nice.
LIVERY housewife should know that
sugar boiled with an acid, if it be but
three minutes, will he converted into a
glucose, which is the form of sugar
found in sweet apples. One pound of
sugar hns rs much swectening power
as two pounds of glucose. In other
words, one pound of sugar stirred into
the fruit after it IS cooked, and while
yet warm will make iho fruit as sweet
III two and qualt,r pounds added
while the fruit is boiling. Save your
"ugar by chcmica! KNOWLEDGE 1t is
an established fact that If fruit is sweet
ened when it ,s hot it requires much
moro sugar than If sweet med whom
cold.
ALCOHOL COOP FOR BURNs.-Ihe
most cleanly dressing for burn or
scald is to saturate soft piece of fabric
with alcohol, lay it over the bnrn, thor.
cover it with cotton or finely picked
oakum. 1t may be thought. says the
Boston Jouo2tat Of Chemistry, that al
cohol applied to IL burn will produce
moro pain; but try 1t, and you will be-
agreeably surprised to observe how
quickly it will allay tho pain. Subse-
qucntly disturb tho dressing as little as
possible; wet the dressing occasionally
with alcohol, and tho result you will
find better than 10y any other method.
A BAR. HARBoR Dish.-Take half
pound OF salt pork, cut in small pieces,
fry them TIL brown; take them ou',
and in the fat thus obtained put pound
of haddock or OF fresh goldfish, half q
dozen potatoes cut in thin slices, some
crackers or pieces of hard bread broken
in small bits, half n teaoupful of sweet
milk, lump of butter the size of q
small egg, and pepper and salt to taste;
thickcn with little flour rubbed smooth
with the butter. When tho potatoes
are done serve.
PUTpINa AN Eaa IN Borr1E.-To
accomplish this seemingly incredible
act requires the following preparation:
You must take IN egg and soak it IN
vinegar and i'll process of tlme it's shell
will become quite soft, so that 1t may
be extended lengthwise without break
ing, then insert it III the neck of
small bottle and on pouring cold water
upon it, it will assume its former figure
and hardness. This is really q curiosi-
ty, and battles those who arc not in the
secret, to find ont how it 10 Accomplished.
ONE dram of carbolic aeid, six drops
of oil of lavender, and two and q half
ounces Of olive formed the prescription
which proved effectual in destroying n
parasitic affection of the moustache OF
gentleman who consulted DIR. George
