UOTSEKEEPERS' HELP.

SUMNER SQUASH.-Cut the squash in
quarters. remove the seeds and skin, cover
with saltcd boiling water and boil until
done. When cooked mash the squash and
add one ounce Of butter Tor each small
one. Moisten with gravy or broth and put
i'm little pans or dishes; cover with brc Il
crumbs, place tiny bits OF butter on the
top and bake a delicate brown in Il brisk
oven.
TOMATO SoUP.-To one pint of canned
tomatoes, or four large raw ones cut up
fine, add one quart of boiling water and
let them boil till done; then add nearly Il.
teaspoon of soda; when it tuamS up add
one pint Of sweet milk, pepper and butter
or one pint of sweet cream instead OF but
ter, a few crackers rolled fine, and serve.
\ DREAM CAEE-Make rich batter
and bake in three layers. The layers
should bc frosted with cOntcctioncr'S sugar
and the white of eggs. The troSting for
the first LAYER should be favored with
lemon, for the next layer with vanilla,
and the top layer should Ia favored with
n few drops of rOSI-watcr and thickly Gov
cred with cOcOanut.
TONGI'E TOAST.--A very nice dish is
prepared from cold boiled or potted tongue.
Slice the tongue, and cut each slice into
small. fine pieces; heat it in a pan with Il
little butter. To prevent burning moiSten
with warm water or clear soup. Add salt
and pepper; stir into 1t two beaten eggs.
When SGT, arrange neatly on toast.
LEMON WATIR-ICE,-Th juice of two
lemons, two te,SpOOntulS of the extract OF
lemon. one quart Of water, one pound OF
granulatcd sugar and one gill Ofrich, sweet
cream. Mix all well together, strain and
freeze. the SINE rs ice cream. Orange
waterloo is made in the same way, using
oranges.
MILK LEMON In one
quart of LOiling water one and one-halt
cups of loaf sugar, add One-half pint OF
lemon juice, and, lastly, one and one-halt
pints of boiling milk.
To CLEAN GLASS AND SILvERwARE.-
Esr-shells crushed into small bits and Sha-
ken well in decanters three parts filled with
cold water, will not only clean them thor
oughly hat make the glass look like new.
Bv rubbing with flannel dipped IN the
best whiting, the brown diScOlOratiOn may
be taken off cups in which cuStardS have
been baked. Again, all Of us are aware that
emery powder will remove ordinary stains
from the white ivory knife handles, and
that the lustre of morocco leather Is re-
stored by vanishing with the white OF
egg. Nothing, it is said, is better to clean
silver with than alcohol or ammonia,
finishing with a little whiting on soft
cloth. When putting away the silver tea
or coffee pot which is not in use every
doy. Law a stick across the top under the
cover. This will allow fresh air to get in
and prevent the mustineSS of the contents
familiar to boarding house sufferers.
ToAsT,-Many seem to think that they
have made toast when they brown the out
side offs slice of bread. Have they? The
object in making toast is to evaporate all
moisture from the bread, and holding a
slice over the fire 10 SINCE does not accom-
plish this; it only warns the moisture,
making the inside of the bread doughty and
decidedly indigestible, The trQe way OF
preparing it is to cut the bread into slices
a quarter of an inch thick, trim OFF all
crust, put the slices into a pan or plate,
place them into an oven-which must not
be too hOt-take them out when delicate
brown, and butter at once.
