MINCE MEAT-Four pounds of
meat, two pounds of suet, eight
pounds of apples, four pounds of SUI
gar, two pounds Of raisins, two
tablesoonfuls of cinnamon, one table
spoonful of allspice, one nutmeg,
half pint of molasses, half a tea
cupful of salt. If you like the flavor
of mace add a teaspoonful of that.
There is no reason why the first mince
pie should not be excellent. Round
steak is good, if tender and sweet !;
of course the better the meat, the
better the pies will be. The meat
should be boiled until it is done. Use
just as little water as possible, so
that the liquor need not be wasted,
as you can use the most of it to
moisten the mince with. Chop apples
suet and meat together until uniform
ly fine then add the spices and all
other ingredients. This needs to be
well cooked and then should be put
away in a cold place for few days
OF a week. Almost all old house.
keepers and cooks give an individu-
atty to their mince pies by the addi-
lion of the juice of fruit or cup of
sicily that did not jelly" or by put
ting in canned fruit or jam left over
from supper, or even by leaving the
peel of fair, red apples upon them
and chopping them peel and all (not
the core howeve). When you are
ready to make the pies take some of
the mince meat out Of the jar into a
pan; set it over kettle of boiling
water and heat it thoroughly in that
way. Then make your crust, and
be careful not to have the pie toe
thick; that is a danger young
housekeeper needs to bear in MIND
and to avoid. English currants arc

OUR SLEEPING ROOMS.


A physician of note says "we hear
n great talk about malaria now-a-
days, but there is more malaria to be
found in most modern bedchambers
than anywhere else." Persons who
are moderately intelligent on other
topics, appear to have small thought,
or that very perverted, on the sub
ject of hygiene in their rooms, and
especially those occupied by children.
The ventilation of bedchamber can
not be too carefully attended to; and,
as Horace Mann says, ''seelng the
atmosphere is forty miles deep all
around the globe, it is useless piece
of economy to breath it more than
once" yet nine mothers out of ten
will carefully close all the windows,
'sfor fear of colds and night air.
and leave two or three children to
sleep in sitting atmosphere, and
see no connection between the cold
throat troubles they have, and the
Initiated air she compels them to
breath night after night. Let the
morning air and sunshine into the
bedroom as soon as possible after
the occupants have risen; and If
there is no sunshine, and it is not
raining, let in the air. Do not make
up beds too soon after they are va
Gated. You may get your house IL
died sooner, but is not cleanly nor
healthful TO snugly pack up bed
clothing until the exhalation of the
sleepers' bodies have been removed
by exposure to the air
Look carefully after the wash
stand and the various utensils be-
longing thereto. The soap-dishes
and tooth brush mugs cannot be kept
too scrupulously clean. All slops
and foul water should be emptied
very promptly. Wash out and sun
all pitchers, glasses, whatever vessels
are used in the sleeping room. Never
allow water, or stale bouquets of
flowers to stand for days in the spare
chamber after the departure of a
guest. Towels that have been used
should be promptly removed, and no
soiled clothing allowed to hang or,
accumulate about the room. Closets
opening into sleeping apartments
are often the receptacles of soiled
clothes, shoes, etc., and become
fruitful scources of bad air, particu-
larly where there are small children.
After such places the housewife
should look with a keen eye for OBJ
jectional articles, and remove them
with an unsparing hand. 1 have en-
countered such closets, in which one
might find all the odors additionally
belonging to the city of Cologne
any one which was enough to sug-
gest ideas of disease-germs.
Even so innocent piece of furni-
ture as the bureau, by carelessness
becomes the recipient of articles,
which may faint the air of your bed
chamber. Damp and soiled combs
and brushes are only unsightly and
disgusting, but lying soiled and I'M
aired from dap to day, will certainly
contribute to evil air and odors, as
will also greasy and highly scented
hair ribbons, etc. Never lay freshly
Numbered clothes upon the bed; nor
air the same in your bedroom, if pos
sible to do so elsewhere. Do not hes
itate to light fire on cool mornings
and evenings; and if so fortunate as
to have an open fireplace, you pos
sess grand means of comfort and
ventilation in the bedchamber. -Lucg

The walking gait of a horse is the
one most important to farmers. Yet
at our agricultural fairs trotting
seems to be the only gait to which
much attention is paid. 1t will soon
be time to break young horses into
harness. If they are accustomed TO
a fast-walking gait they will be
much more seryieable on the farm
all their lives.

THE GENESIS OF SUGAR.

The exact date of the invention of
sugar says the american Druggist,
is lost in the mist of fable. Howev-
er, sugar is said to have been known
to the Chinese three thousand years
ago, and there is not much doubt but
that the manufacture of the article
was carried on under the Tsin dynas-
ty two hundred years B. G. A strong
claim for priority has been made for
India. Probably the Hindoos learn
ed the art from the Chinese, and
from India the knowledge was car
ried west.
Three hundred and twenty years
| B. c., Alexander sent Nearchus with
a large force down the Indus to ex-
plore the adjacent countries. When
that officer returned from his expedi-
ton, he brought to Greece All account
of honey Sugar which the Asiatics
made from cane, without any assist
ance from bees. This WIGS the earli-
est idea the western nations had of
sugar, the Jews, Egyptians, Bahylo-
mans and Greeks knowing nothing
of its use. As late as A. D. $50,
sugar was prescribed by Galen, the
famous physician, as medicine.
During the wars of the roses, about
1454, Margaret PASTOR, wife of a
wealthy gentleman of Norfolk, wrote
to her husband, begging that he
would .'vouchsafe'' TO her pound
of sugar. As late as the wear 100
all England consumed only twenty
million pounds in the course of 6
year, but since the consumption has
greatly increased, twenty million
cwt. now being used by the En-
glish people. The process of rein
ing sugar was not known in England
previous to 1859. That was prob
ably an invention of the Arabs. A
Venetian merchant learned the secre
from the Saracens of Sicily, and sole
the art for one hundred crowns.
