HOUSEHOLD NOTES,

THE little books of rice paper that cigar
cite smokers use for the manufacture OHIO
meOpathic smokes are handy things for
people who wear spectacles. The paper
is said to be the best thing in the world to
wipe lenses with.
A PRETTY FAN, intended to be hung on
the wall, has the upper halt covered with
dark green plush and the lower part with
bright red surah silk shirred on. A bIfnch
of golden rods is tied on in front with
bow Of bright ribbons.
DARK MARBLE CAKE.-TWo CUPS dark
brown sugar, one cup OF butter, one cup
of molasses, one cup sour milk. five cups
flour, the yolks of seven eggs. two table
spoonfuls of cinnamon, one OF cloves, one
Of allspice, one of nutmeg and one tea
spoonful of soda.
EGG MOLD.-Four ounces of butter. four
ounces of sugar, the yOlks OF eight eggs,
the grated peel and the juice of half
lemon, and tablespoonful Of flour must
be whipped to foam, then stir in the
whites of four eggs in a stiff snow. Bake
it in buttered form or dish.
Potato MOULD.-Whisk three eggs
with two ounces of sugar and a little
grated lemon peel, then stir IN pint of
cream and enough grated cold potatoes to
form a very thick batter, which must be
so stiff that it will not drop from the spoon.
Bake it in well-buttered mold.
POIsoN.-If poison Of any kind has been
taken into the stomach an emetic should
be given as quickly as possible. Mustard
and warm water, or salt and warm water,
or ipecac, are effectual. or the latter,
give sixty grains. If vomiting, drink
freely of warm water or warm milk until
the stomach is thoroughly washed out.
PINCUsHION.-A novelty in the shape
of plncushiOn cover is to cover thick
cushion of medium size with satin, then
cover one corner with very sheer white
muslin. This should be cut in the form
of a triangle, and where the muslin ends
and the satin begins put jabot of lace
there. The effect is both pretty and quite
new.
ALMOND MOLD.-Stir three ounces of
butter to a cream, then mix in four ounces
of sugar, the yOlks of six eggs, four ounces
of almonds, sliced thin, and when the
above has been thoroughly stirred, add
the whites of six eggs. whisked to firm
snow, stir the latter lightly. Steam in a
well-buttered mold, with sugar sprinkled
in over the butter.
COFFEE CAKE.-To make one goOd-sized
loaf take one beaten egg, one-half cup of
molasses, twO-thlrds Of a cup Of brown
sugar, one very small cup of butter, same
sized cup of very strong cold coffee, one

teaspOOnful OF Saleratus, one cup of raj
sins; flavor with nutmeg, cinnamon and
allspice; put in enough flour to make as
thick as pound cake.
A SWEET NUDEL DIsH.-Use fresh made
nudels, cut fine and straight, not rolled.
Put butter into stewpan and brown the
dry nudels in it, shaking them occasion
ally. When they are nicely c0.ored pour
over them some good milk and let them
stew till soft. Add sugar to sweeten.
Beat two or three eggs and stir them into
the nudels. Cover and let them steam
few minutes before serving.
COOKING ONIONs.-A very appetizing
way to cook onions is to boil them in salt
and water until they begin to be tender;
drain the water from them and wrap each
onion in soft paper; set them side by side
into dripping pan, let them bake until
done, then put into vegetable dish and
pour rich brown gravy over them. Span
ish onions are especially nice cooked
this way, as they have so delicate
flavor.
To CURE COLDS, keep a cup Of pine tar
and when you feel cold coming on drop
some OF the tar on live Goals and inhale
the smoke three times day. 1t is a great
relief, will often effect a cure on one ap-
plication and rarely requires more than
two days to break up a cold. The tar can
be obtained at drug store. Like all other
remedies, this will be found better for
some persons than for others. No two
systems are exactly alike.
DATE SAUCE, which is very nice with
bread buildings, is made by stewing dates
i'll Just enough water to cover them; let
them simmer for three-quarters of an hour,
then if the dates are soft rub them through
a cOlander, beat it until it is light, add
water if it is needed to thin ii, let it come
to a boil. If you have saved the juice of
fruit when canning it, use this instead Of
water to thin the sauce. The juice of cur
rants is especially appetising.
A DELICATE dish for dessert is made by
pairing six ripe, tart apples, cut them in
halves, put half pound of sugar into
saucepan, with half pint of water, add
the juice of one lemon and let this boil
until it is thick; then lay in the apples.
When they have simmered until they are
tender, take them out, drain them on a
sieve and let the syrup boil few min
utes longer. When the apples and syrup
are both cool put the apples carefully
into glass dish and pour the syrup over
them,
