HOUSEHOLD KINDS.

The time was when tables were en-
tircly set with white; now we go t o the
other extreme and have a clutter
of all sorts of colors mixed together
without harmony.
Salads are good decorations. One
can not put anything on a table more
beautiful than celery. Blue is not q
very good color for use. 1t is apt to
look cold and spotty with white.
1t is said by IN experienced seam
stress that if you would only thread
your needle from the end farthest from
from that broken off last, you would
never be troubled with the thread
knotting.
Frozen Fruit Cream-Mix one
pound of fruit with one quart of good
fresh cream, sweetened to taste. Press
all through a fine sieve and put in a
freezer and proceed as with ice-cream.
If put into fancy molds, freeze first
and then pack well in the forms and
put back in the ice and salt.
Rice Bread-Boil one pound of rice
when cool, mix it well with four
pounds of flour, two ~tablespoonfuls of
salt, and one small ~teacupful of
Yeast. Knead it well, set it to rise, and
bake as common bread. Add moro
water in boiling, shoGld the rice re-
uuire it.-Cdterer.
Lemon Sponge-Half an ounce of
gelatine, two gills of water, rind and
Juice of lemon, n unce of ugar,
one white of egg. Dissolve the gelatine
in the water, add the lemon rind and
sugar, strain the lemon juice into a
basin with the white of an egg, then
strain onto that the dissolved gelatine,
and whisk all together till quite stiff,
so that the spoon could stand up in it.
The best way to fasten an oilcloth
to the floor is to have the boards well
scrubbed, dried and covered with the
thick scrapings of a house painters
pots, and to lay the cloth on it and
keep it pressed down with weighted
planks until the paint sets. Then the
cloth becomes part of the floor itself
and will remain s~erviceable for years.
Indeed, it may be said that good oil
cloth, laid in this way, win last for a
lifetime.
Connecticut Loaf Cake-Three pounds
of flour, one and a half pounds sugar,
one pound of butter, one pint milk, seven
eggs, one pound currants, one gill Of
yeast. Melt the butter in the milk and
mix with the flour, adding the yeast last
Set to rise over night, and in the morn
ing beat the sugar and eggs together,
with a quarter of IN ounce of cinnamon,
and add them and the currants. Bake in
loaves when light.-Caterer.
Dat Flake Griddle GLADSTONE pint Of
oat flakes, a teaspoonful of salt, an
ounce of melted butter, two eggs we'll
beaten, a scant pint of milk; mix wen
and stir in a tablespoonful of -four.
When the griddle is hot grease it
slightly; pour from a large spoon on the
griddle; continue until the griddle is
covered with small cakes, then turn the
first one, and so on until all are done.
Wipe the griddle with a clean cloth, and
grease slightly after each baten.-The
Cook.
The secret ola good puff paste, or
even plain paste, is to have the butter
waxy. Wash it in ice water and fat
ten it into waters; put it into a cold win
dow. 1t should be almost brittle. If
you keep to this rule about the butter,
and always work it with a knife, Touring
your hands when you have to touch the
paste, you will have light pastry. A ta-
b~lespoonful of salt and one of sugar goes
to a quart of flour for light paste. Add
the water judiciously,a as too much water
makes pastry hard
If any article of household furniture
requires disinfecting occasionally, it is a
carpet; especially if it has beer used n
considerable time. The following is q
method recommended by a lady house
keeper, both as a disinfectant and pre-
ventive Of moths. Add three table
spoonfuls of turpentine to three quarts
OF water. Saturate a large sponge
with this mixture, squeeze it about two
tnlrus ury, ana go ver the carpet care
fully. As often as the sponge becomes
dirty cleanse it and take in a fresh sup
ply of water.
Furniture Forgeries A so-called
ancient piece of furniture may often be
discovered as an imposition if made of
new oak; however, this may have been
stained with artificial color, which fails
20 give the rich, mellow hue which
comes from age. Furniture forgeries
are, on the whole, best detected by want
OF antiquarian accuracy, as, for instance,
chairs and tables alleged to belong to
the middle of the seventeenth century,
the legs of which are not strengthened
floor.
Orange Puddings-Soak a cupful Of
stale bread in half a cupful of milk UNI
III 1t can be beaten to a pulp; mix with
It the grated rind of one orange, the
JUICE Of two, sugar to taste, and the
yoiks Of two raw eggs; butter six small
cups. md set fhem In q nan of hot
