AN innovation in buildings is to add APP

eggs, half a teacupful OF sweet milk, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder; add

handle.
! lovely lambrequin for long shelf is
made of dark crimson felt. 1t is finished
on the edge with handsome fringe, and on
one side is a large bunch of yellow
daises and some wild roses. The effect is
surprisingly pretty, and 1t does not take a

Broken bread is excellent for thickening
purees and sauces. The bread should be

color as well as consistency to the pu-
rec.

proved by many. 1t can be made quite

thin, and toast it slowly till it is very
crisp and dry throughout, and of dark
brown color. Plunge 1t into jug OF
water. let 1t stand for about half an hour,
and then decant it into n water bottle.

VARIOUS cases Of poisoning from the
use OF perfumes have been reported in re-
cent English journals. In one instance
little girl had bought some heliOtrope
! perfume at bazaar, and had applied it
on her face. This caused a vascular
! eruption, swelling, itching, and, in fact,
erysipelas, which lasted for some time
The scent was made with some of the
! products Of coal tar, and not with the
Odorlferous principles of plants, thus &C
quiring its irritating properties.
