BIsCUIT.-Very nice biscuit can be
made for tea by taking a portion of The
bread dough before it Is nodded into
loayes, and working into this a table
spoonful of butter. Let this stand In a
tolerably cool place for four hours,
knead again and let 1t alone for three
hours longer, then roll, very lightly,
pieces of the dough into round or OBJ
long biscuits and place close together in
a CREASED pan. These must rise for an
other hour, then bake in a quick oven;
or you can make very nice crumpets by
taking one pint Of the raised dough af-
ter the second rising, and working into
it three tabIespoonfuls of melted butter.
Beat three eggs and a half a cup of
sugar together until very light and
work this into the dough. Bake IN
muffin rings about twenty minutes.

The Germans are utilizing a discovery
for hanging paper on damp walls. 1t
consists in coating a lining paper on
one side with u solution of shellac
spirit, Of somewhat greater consistency
than the ordinary French polish"
and then hanging it with the side thus
treated to the damp wall. The paper
hanging is then performed In the usual
manner with paste. Any other resin
that is equally soluble In spirits may be
used in place Of the Ishellac. Accord
ing to the representations. this process
is found equally effective in preventing
the penetration of dampness.

clean bedding and an earth floor to
