HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

little borax dissolved in it; wipe it with
flannel cloth that you have dipped
into milk, and then wiring it rs dry as
possible.
An English cook of note observes
that if you use young fowl for max
ing chicken broth it will have
stronger anG more distinctive flavor if
the chicken is roasted for twenty min
utes before cutting it up to boil.
Pies made of apple butter are highly
recommended. For one pie take half
a cup-a good large half cup-of the
butter, one egg, half cup of sugar,
one-third of teaspoonful of allspice,
ami sweet milk to make the requisite
quantity for one pie. Bake with a
lower crust only.
Oyster fritters are made thus: To
one cup of sweet milk allow two eggs,
with flour enough to make thick bat
ter; salt and pepper to suit the taste
must be added; chop the oysters and
about this you must consult your own
taste. for some good cooks cut them
only in halves, while others chop them
fine. Have hot lard or beef drippings
in small but deep kettle, drop the
batter into this from a large spoon,
and fry until a delicate brown.
Tender turnips cooked thus make a
good entree: Put into pan six
ounces of butter and tablespoonful
of flour; simmer these over quick
fire until they become slightly brown.
Add a gill of boiling water, then six
ounces of raw ham cut into small
dice, little salt and peper, one onion,
a little parsely, and four or five small
turnips cut into small bits. Cover the
sauce pan, and let this cook until the
turnips are done. Carrots are also
cooked in this way, and the seasoning
is sometimes removed and the vegeta-
bles served without it.
A very plain pudding, but one
which is nice if eaten with good
sauce, is made of three parts of bread
crumbs rolled quite fine, one part tart
apples chopped about as for mince
pies, and one part raisins and English
currants either chopped or whole, as
your taste may dictate, teaspoonful
of salt, and water TO mOisten suili-
ciently are all the ingredients required.
Mix well together and steam for two
hours; serve hot with rich sauce,
taking the precaution to make the
sauce sweeter than is usual, as the
pudding is not sweetened at all.
A most appetizing salad is made by
shaving cabbage about as fine as it is
possible to shave it; sprinkle white
mustard seed over it, using enough SO
that there will be distinct mustard
flavor. An ounce of seed to one small
head of cabbage will do; one or two
yellow peppers should be cut into very
small slices and added; pour cold
vinegar over all, add little salt and
sugar, and then let stand for day OF
two, so that the cabbage and pepper
are really picked. This may be
packed in jars or be put into cans and
kept all winter.
Very pretty match pockets to hold
burnt matches are now made to hang
on the gas fixtures and are highly or
namental. One intended for the par
lor is made in this way: For the bot
tom IA small basket painted drab anC
Vanished is used the basket is no
round, but almost flat and is about iiv'
or six inches long; to this is sewed
strip of pink satin about nine inche
deep. This is gathered at the top an'
drawn up like IA work bag; very mar
