HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


save scorching your fingers.
The very best way to warm over
cold boiled potatoes is to chop them
fine, season with pepper and salt, put
lump of butter in skillet, add the
potatoes and very little water; cover
closely and let them heat through
thoroughly without stirring. Hash is
also much better not stirred while be-
ing cooked.
A lady writes to The Rural Nel0
Yorker that she gave her lace curtains
a very fashionable creamy tint, by
rinsing them, after washing in water
in which little yellow ochre powder,
Just mixed with a little water and
strained through muslin bag, had been
stirred. Add the dye until the desired
shade is obtained Do not wiring, but
press the water out with the hands.
Every cook knows how disagreeablc
it is to have the nutmeg or cinnamon
which is added to cream and sugar for
pudding sauce rise to the top of the
sauce, and when it is served to have
the first spoonful taken out too highly
favored and the rest without taste.
TO remedy this mix the nutmeg or
cinnamon with sugar before pouring
on the cream: it will then be grad
ually distributed through the sauce.
Pour the cream on a little at a time,
and the spice will tend to dissolve.
In the bring up of children an en-.
couraging word has in it a great deal
more of power than most people i'm
agine. So thinks the Rev, DR.. Guy
Ter, who says IN the New York Evan
gelist; cone sentence of honest praise
bestowed at the right time is worth
whole volley of scoldng. The sun
understands how to raise plants and to
open flowers at this time of the year
he Just smiles on them with warm
rays, and they begin to grow and un-
fold.' A storm of scolding that sets in
in the morning, and lasts till night,
has about as good effect on childhood
graces as q hailstorm has on young
plants.
A way to make good cream candy;
Toa coileecup of white sugar add
two tablespoonfuls Of water to dis
solve it, and boil, without stirring, in
q bright tin pan, until it will crisp in
water, like moasses candy. just be-
fore it is done put in teaspoonful of
vanilla or lemon or peppermint cs-
sence and quarter OF a teaspoonful
of cream tartar. When done pour out
into buttered pan, and when cool
enough TO handle work as you would
mOlasscs candy until it is perfectly
white; then stretch and lay on 4 board
and with chopplng knife cut into
mouthfuls, or you can cut with the
shears, and lay on buttcred paper on
plate. Grease your hands with but
ter before working it and it will not
stick to your fingers. Granuated
sugar is not as good as other white
sugar.
