HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

WHEN slicing bananas always use
silver knife, as steel one will make them
turn dark.
SMALL birds that are roasted and are
not stuffed can be improved IN flavor by
putting a few stalks of celery in them
while they are cooking.
A necessary precauuon when roasting
a large aud fat loin OF mutton is to cover
it with paper during the earlier stages
of its roasting; otherwise the fat Will
burn, or, at least, will be scorched and
impart a bad flavor TO the gravy.
CORN MEAL mufiins are appetizing, To
one pint Of meal add one cup of flour, a
lump of butter the size of an egg, two
eggs, nearly half pint OF sweet milk,
and quarter of a cup OF fresh yeast.
Mix this at night, and in the morning
bake in muffin tins,
WHEN you are tired of plain boiled or
fried eggs try this way of serving them
for breakfast: Butter a pie plate and
cover the bottom with fine bread crumbs,
then break enough eggs for your family
and drop them on the plate and cover with
a layer of bread crumbs; sprinkle pepper
and salt over this and put some little
Jumps of butter over 1t. Bake in quick
oven for five minutes.
NOVEL breakfast cakes are made by
taking some bread sponge which was
started the night before and mixing luke
warm water with it until it is like batter;
add an egg or eggs TO it in the proportion
of three eggs to one quart of dough. This
should then be allowed to stand close to
the fire for an hour; have the griddle hot,
grease it slightly with sweet lard, AID fry
la pancakes.
A very good way to use cold roast meat
which you do not care to send to the table
again in its original form is to chop it
very fine, season it with pepper and salt;
il y0u have gravy also m0isten it with
that, but If you have not pour little milk
over the meat, and, after putting it into a
budered pudding-dish, put some little
Jumps of butter round on the top Of It;
then spread mashed potatoes over it all;
wet with milk and set the dish in the
oven; when not and Drowned nicely, serve
it.
AN ornamental and convenient wall
pocket is made by covering a large palm
leaf fan with silk. If the silk is thin put
a sheet Of white wadding under it so that
the ribs in the tan will not show. The silk
must be put smoothly over il. The han
die of the tan must, when il is hung on
the wall, be at the left-hand side, not in
cliDed at all, but pointing straight toward
the left. A pocket is to be shirred on
bottom and straight across the top. At
the top of the pocket put bow Of rib
bon. Above the pocket, on the plain silk,
work, in delicate gray etching-silk, a
SPIDERS web, and at one side pin on a
metal spider, which can be obtained at a
milhner's store. This makes pretty ora
ment for the wall of any room.
STEwED EGGs-Boil five or six eggs ten
minutes, aud throw them into cold water
until they are perfectly cold. Then peel
and cut crOsswise in slices with a sharp
knife. Have on the fire in a frying-pan a
cupiul of soup-stOck or gravy, in which
half an onion has been stewed five min
utes, then taken out. The gravy should
have been strained and seasoned with
pepper and salt. When il comes TO a boil
heat in tin plate a teaspOOnful Of but
ter, roll each slice Of egg in it, coat il
with -four and lay gently IN the frying
pan. Set the pan at the side of the stove
to do this, then remove 70 warmer spot,
but do not allow the gravy to boil again,
merely to simmer round the edges. Leave
the eggs thus five minutes. Line fat
dish with very crisply-toasted bread.
dipped in sailed boiling water and but
tered. Lay the sliced eggs on this and pour
on the gravy. This Is nice breakfast dish.
Chopped parsley improves IL.
