Household Hints.

A scrap jar should be in every room.
Never take warm drinks and then imm edi-
ately go out into the cold.
A good way to take cod liver oil. to make it
palatable, is by putting it into tomato catsup.
Towels, brushes and combs should be appor-
toned upon the army plan. Each member of
the family shout be provided with separate
outfit.
When going from warm atmosphere into a
cooler one keep the mouth almost closed, SO
that the air may be warmed by its passage
through the nose it reaches the lungs.
The low, old-fashioned sofa, which of late
years has rather dropped out of style, begins to
be seen in all comfortable rooms; its broad
arms and high back made it restful piece of
furniture
This is a most delicious gingerbread, and
always favorite with children Two and a
half pounds of -four, one pound of butter. one
pint of molasses one pound of sugar. one ounce
of ground ginger, one nutmeg, grated. half a
pound of candied citron cut very fine. Work
the butter and sugar together. add the molasses,
spices, citron and -four let the mixture stand
for twenty four hours. then roll the paste thin,
cut it in shapes and bake. This quantity makes
a large batch of cakes.

Mrs. Emma P. Ewing.


Not every young housekeeper knows how to
roast piece of meat, and indeed there are some
old ones who do not. When it seems necessary
to wash roast of beef dry it carefully before
placing in the oven, as soaring almost instantly
the cut side of the meat prevents the escape OF
juices As salt and water have a tendency to
not to be recommended. In roasting meats of
all kinds the method adopted should be the one
that in the most perfect manner preserves the
Juice inside the meat. To roast beef in the best
manner place the c1ean-cut side of the meat
upon smoking hot pan, which must be over a
quick fire. Press it close to the pan I'm til scared
and slightly Drowned. Reverse and let the cppo-
site side become similarly scared and brown.
Then put it atonce in the oven, the heat of which
should be firm and steady, but not too in tense,
and leave it undsturbed until cooked The
time that should be allowed for cooking beef in
this manner is twenty minutes to the pound IT
it is to be rare less half hour deducted
from the aggregate time on account of soaring.
In other words, a five pound roast of beef will
require an hour and quarter, a six-Dound roast
an hour and half, and on. When the
oven is at the proper temperature and the cook
ing is going all right the meat will keep up
gentle sputtering in the pan. If upon opening
the oven door this suffering is not perceptible
more heat is required But if in addition to the
suffering any smoke is discernible in the oven,
the heat is too intense and should be lessened-
Unless the heat of the is too great, the
drippings in the pan will not burn and smoke,
and when the meat is cooked there will be thin
coating of brown jelly in the pan where the
meat rested, which by the addition of stock or
water make delicious gravy.

ENGLISH FARMING DINNERS
School Children Who Must Be Fed BefoI
They Can Be Taught.

School Children Who Must Be Fed Before
They Can Be Taught.
Boston Journal.
Poverty and distress in England have made
necessary elementary food" system, ac-
companyinR elementary education" and for
several years cheap dinners have been dis
trbuted by charitable organizations to school
children with excellent results. The farthng
or half-penny dinner system of the Birmingham
Kitchen, which has supplied 200, 900 meals for
school children during the last year, is one of
the most notable illustrations of interesting
branch of charitable work. 1t was found that
underfed children are not able to digest abun-
dant, rich and highly concentrated food and
that it is necessary to give them not what one
thinks they ought to have, but what they them
selves desire. English children of the poor will
not eat meat nor oatmeal. and the cheapest
dinners are by far the most popular The want
is for something moderately solid and for fari-
naceous food. The bill of fare of the Birmingham
Kitchen consists each school day of choice
between bread and milk and bread and soup for
the first course, followed by bread spread with
jam. On cold days the soup is more popular;
in mild weather more milk IS disposed OF. But
the satisfaction of the children is thoroughly
demonstrated by the attendance and by the
manner in which the dinners are finished. The
mode of making lentil soup demonstrates that
poor people need not starve, II they possess
sufficient intelligence in choosing and preparing
nutritious food. Five pounds of lent1ls, three
pounds of Indian meal. three pounds of Scotch
barley, three pounds of carrots and onions, one
pound of salt, onehalf ounce of pepper. with a
little mint, are boiled in ten gallons of water
and served, not too hot, in the little tin basins
supplied TO the children.
The most valuable deduction from this sys-
tenn of cheap but wholesome dinners il the
proof of the physical. educational and moral
value of wholesome, nutritious food. 1t is found
that the dinners enabled children who are be-
hindhand in growth to begin to make up in a
few weeks their deficient growth of past years.
The chief educational result is the effect of the
dinners upon school attendance and up on after
dinner work, each being greatly improved The
moral result is the most remarkable. SIT has
been found" reports the Hon. Secretary of the
Fund, that ill-tempered, dsobedient, untruth
full children have been cured OF their faults IN
few weeks; vicious and revengeful children
have become docile; VIGOROUSLY greedy children
ask to be allowed to share even farthiIg
dinner with a brother sister" The whole
system is better proof thap Professor
Atwater's statistics of the Usefulness of the
economy of food.
