THE HOME.
When the backlettere list to the gods was pre-
sented,
The st Of What fate for each mortal intendsl
At the long string of ills kind goddess relented
And slipped in three blessings wife, children and
friends.

vet, making pretty contrast Of color.
Tweeds in three colors are already shown
for spring wear. The ground is of one
shade. the cross.bars which make the
checks are of the other two.
The Princess of Wales and the Queen of
Spain are using note-paper decorated with
embossed devices initiating coins bearing
their arms. Persons intent on aping
royalty will please take notice.
The combination of checked and plain
goods in summer costumes is to be plain
basque and checked overskirt and under
skirt Kilt plaitings and very simple
draperies appear in the early models.
Children are now fairly smothered in
aprons, as they were thirty years ago, and
as it was then, there is very little to choose
now between an apron and dress in size,
or in the quantity of stuff required to
make one.
Handkerchief bags of quilted satin may
be very prettily ornamented by cutting out
flowers in colored flannel, and arranging
them on the smooth satin SO as to look like
an embroidered bouquet. The veining and
the sewing about the edges are done in
silk.
For the sake of variety try this for
breakfast Buy some nice pork.chops,
with little fat about them fry them del
icate brown, and pour hot tomato sauce
over them. Make a gravy, using little
OF the fat fried out of the pork send to the
table with baked potatoes, warm cornbread
and coffee.
Cabbage, cooked as you cook caulihower,
helps to make variety at this season when
it is difficult to do so. Cut the cabbage in
small pieces and boil it until it is perfectly
tender then drain off the salted water,
and pour over the cabbage cup of cream,
with lump of butter and some pepper
and salt. Serve hot.
a light and toothsome cream cake is
made of four cups of sifted flour, three
cups of sugar, one cup of butter, one of
cream, five eggs, one cup OF English cur
rants, and a small teaspoonful of soda.
This makes large loaf and requires an
hour and half to bake. 1t is good plan
to line the entire tin with paper, SO that
the cake can be lifted out without break.

Durable and pretty covers for bureau
are made of drab aida canvas, with the
edge finished with deep scallops crocheted
of macreme cord, or make the cover SO
large that the edge will fall over the edge
of the bureau. After the canvas is fringed
to the depth of an inch, overcast the can
vas so that it will not ravel. a narrow
border of worsted above the fringe is a
pretty addition.
Many deluded child has been cured of
cold by this means Take cup of brown
sugar, and put it in saucepan to
make candy, but instead of adding water
in which to dissolve the sugar, put in a
little tea made by sleeping thorough
wort. This will impart bitter taste,
which is not unpleasant to the child after
the first mouthful, and is really a good
remedy for I" tickling in the throat"
To make delicious waffies, take one and
one.half pints of sweet milk, one tea
cup butter and lard, or one cup of either
melted and put in the milk, then stir in the
-four; next beat the yolks of four eggs,
and add with two tablespoonful of yeast,
and beat hard. Beat the whites last, and
stir them in gently. The consistency of
the batter should be about like griddle-
cakes, SO it will run easily in the irons.
Now, when the country housewife looks
with dismay at the empty jars of pickles,
and fears that there will be none left for
spring use, she can occasionally substitute
pickles made in this way for those put up
in summer. Take some small turnips, boil
them until they are tender, then cut in
slices little more than an inch thick, pour
cold vinegar over them, and let them stand
for day and night. A few pepper.corns
or kernels of alIspice improve the flavor.
For a delicious dessert lay thick slices of
any kind of delicate cake in deep pud.
ding dish, over this pour hot boiled custard
made from the yolks of three eggs and a
pint of milk, sweetened and favored to
TASTE Do this several hours before the
dish is to be served; just before serving
put layer of sliced peaches or oranges
over the cake have the whites of the eggs
beaten to stiff froth, with little sugar,
and put over the fruit. Put in the oven
few minutes to brown.
A cocoanut pudding to be eaten cold is
desirable dish, as it may be made and be
out of the way while the heavy dishes of
the dinner engage the cooks attention.
Take a medium sized cocoanut, CRATE it,
CRATE also six milk crackers, place layer
of the crackers in the bottom of we'll
buttered pudding dish then layer of
cocoanut, and so on until the dish is full
now beat six eggs until they are light, the
whites and yolks together; add quart of
sweet milk and sugar to your taste; stir
well together, and pour over the crackers
and cocoanut until it is all absorbed sift
sugar on the top and bake for an hour. See
that the top is nicely Drowned before tax
