Mutton chops prepared in this' way
make q nice dish for lunch: Beat
some chops first; mash the yolk of u
hard boiled egg and mix with it somo
sweet herbs. grated bread. nutmeg,
salt and pepper, cover the chops with
this and put each chop into piece OF
we'll buttered white paper and broil
them over q clear fire, turning them
often. Remove the paper and cover
the chops with smoothly mashed po-
tatoes bound together with yelK of
egg. Fry in hot oil until a delicate
brown.
This way Of stewing carp is said to
be very good: Draw and skin the
fish; brown some butter with little
-four, add some small onions, parsley,
thyme and mushrooms, and moisten
with large wine glass full Of water
and two ot red wine. When the mix
tGre is at boiling point pour it into
the pan in which you place the carp
and stew it on d brisk fire. When
cooked put the fish ON q dish and
gasnish it with crawfish and croutons;
add the sauce thickeued with a
good piece of butter. .,
Gilt frames may be revived by a
mixture of two ounces of white of egg
and one ounce of chloride of potash or
soda. The frames must be free from
dust and then the mixture is applied
with soft brush. Such frames may
be tieaned with q solution of Il small
qtaintitt Of salts of tartar dissolved in
d wine bottle Of water. Soak d piece
Of cotton batting In the liquid and
dab the frames very gently with III:
do not rub them, for the guilt would
como off if you did Place the frames
so the water may drain from them
and syringe with clean water. The
mixture must not be too strong.
The old time occupation of paper
flower making seems to have revived
with an energy unknowti to it's former
days. Whole show windows afe
filled with the wonderful products of
tissue paper and scissors manipulated
by deft fingers. For lamp shades and
for few other purposes these paper
objects are effective; but for general
decoration they are scarcely to be-
commended. Realistic placqltcs D,
eggs in paper, grass studded with
paper, daisies and paper buttcrcups
mounted on elaborate stands may he
very interesting to those who makt.
them; but are hardly the sort of thins
one would like to behold constantly.
An effectual recipe for rendering
cloth or tweed waterproof at homo is
the following: Take OF. of alum and
dissolve it in a quart of water; in an.
other vessel dissolve OF. of acetate
or sugar of lead, also in Il quart ot
water. When the alum and lead are
entirely dissolved, empty ono vessel
into that which contains the other,
mix them we'll together by stirring
them with q stick. then leave it for Il
time to settle, and when a deposit is
formed at the bottom pour the liquid
gently into another vessel, leaving the
deposit behind. The liquid part now
being ready, immcrse the material to
be rendered waterproof. leaving it u
little time to soak; then press it with
the hands to get some of the water
out. and hang it IN q line to dry. Tc
prove tho efficacy of the recipe, try
first on small piece Of cloth or al
paca; you will find that you may
carry water about III it without u sim
gle drop passing through. DO not
put your hand to your mouth while
doing this.
