Recipes.

FROSTED APPLES. Pare, core and
slice apples of large, tart kind. Bake
them till nearly done. Put them away
to get entirely cold; then prepare some
sugar icing, and, first pouring off all the
juice, lay the icing thickly on the tops
and sides, as much as you can. Return
them to the oven to just harden and bs
set. Serve with cream.

CoLD-DINNER BEEF.-Take piece OF
beef flank six or eight inches wide, as
long as can be got. Sprinkle salt on it,
if fresh; prepare stuffing as for fowls,
and spread over it, roll up very tight
and tie with strings to keep in place, as
the heat will curl it. Then tie or sew il
up in a cloth, and drop into rapinly
boiling water. Cook several hours the
larger the piece the longer it will take,
Try with a fork. When done lay be-
tween boards and put a weight on it,
keeping the cloth still on. When cold
it will slice beautifully. 1t is best cooked
the dav before IL is wanted

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
How to Roast Meat.

Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, of the school
of domestic economy at the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, says:
In roasting meats of all kinds the
method adopted should be the one that in
the most perfect manner preserves the
juices inside the meat. To roast beef
in the best possible manner, place
the clean-cut side of the meat upon
smoking hot pan, which must be
over quick fire. Press it close to the
pan until scared and slightly Drowned.
Reverse and let the opposite side become
similarly scared and brown. Then put
it at once in the oven, the heat of which
should be firm and steady, but not too
intense, and leave it undisturbed until
cooked. The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound, if it is to
be rare, less half an hour deducted from
the aggregate time on account of soaring.
In other words, FIVE pound roast of
beef will require an hour and quarter,
a siX-pound roast an hour and a hal, and
50 on.
If the oven is not too hot the beef re-
quires no basting and is better without
it. When the oven is at the proper
temperature and the cooking is going on
all right, the meat will keep up gentle
suffering in the pan. If, upon opening
the oven door, this sputtering is not
perceptible, more heat is required. But
if in addition to the sputtering any
smoke is disc ernible in the oven, the
heat is too intense and should be lessened.
Unless the heat of the oven is too great,
the drippings in the pan will not burn
and smoke, and when the meat is cooked
there will be a thin coating of brown
jelly in the pan where the meat rested,
which by the addition of stock or water
will make a delicious gravy.
Aroast of beef should never be washed
and if it has accidentally been wet OIL
mo;stened, it should be carefully wiped
dry before it is scared or put to cook.
Soaring almost instantly coats the cut
side of piece of meat, and prevents the
escape of juices in the after process Of
roasting, while firm, steady heat gently
but thoroughly cooks it, and thus botf
juices and flavor are preserved. Bastine
is troublesome as we'll as damaging
| process. And as salt and water have {
tendency to tougher and extract th'
| juices of meat, they should not be useC
on it while roasting, if it is desired tc

A WhOOping.COugh Cure.

Dr.. Mohn, of Christiania, commun.
icates to his Norwegian contreres a new
method of treatment for whooping-cough
for which he claims remarkable results,
the disease being cured in n single
night. His plan consists simply in the
thorough disinfection, by means OF
burning sulphur, of the rooms, clothing,
ETC., used by the affected children. The
children are taken out of the room, the
bedding, furniture and playthings are
exposed, and two ounces of sulphur are
burned for every 100 cubic feet Of space
in the room. After the room has been
thus exposed to the sulphurous acid
fumes the affected children are allowed
to return and occupy it. AS result of
this treatment it is claimed that attacks
Of coughing are Immediately alleviated
and often entirely disappear.

Drinks for the Voice.

Tea coffee and cocoa are three admis-
sible drinks, but none in excess. For
the voice cocoa is the most beneficial. 1t
should never be made too strong, and
those cocoas are the best that have been
deprived of their oil. A cup of thin
cocoa just warm is more to be recon-
mended between the exertions of sing
ing than any alcoholic beverage. Tea
must not be taken too strong, nor when
it has drawn too long, for tea then be-
comes acid and has bad influence upon
the m cous membrane of the throat.

Waited from the roses bloom;

Robins, hush youf little throats,
Cease those sweet, ecstatic trills!

Through the valleys-down the hills,
Roses, keep till I have grown
Glad againI My bird has flown,
And the rose l call my own

THE RHINE FALLS.
Utilizing the Water That Flows fro
Constance to Schaffhausen

Utilizing the Water That Flows from
Constance to Schaffhausen.
Visitors to the Rhine are we'll ac-
quainted with the Rhine Falls, situated
at Schaffhausen, these forming the
largest cataract in Europe. Some
twenty miles below the point where it
issues from the Lake of Constance, the
Rhine, with width of $50 feet and
an average depth of about 81 feet,
plunges over a barrier OF rocks vary
ing in height from As feet on the right
bank to about 60 feet on the left. H.
GLIDING the rapids, the total fall within
a distance OF y little over third of
mile is estimated at $50 feet. The vol
ume of water passing over the falls
per second varies from q minimum of
118 cubic meters in February to a max
mum of SOP cubic meters in July, when,
in consequence of the melting of the
snow in the mountains and the rise in
all the tributary streams and brooks,
the Rhine reaches its highest point.
In this practical age of inventions and
progress very few will be sur
prised to hear that an applica-
ton has been made for . concession
to utilize these magnificent falls
for the manufacture of aluminium the
story of which, with numerous illnstra-
lions and maps, has been recently told
by one of the American Consuls. The
applicants are Messrs. !. e. Nethers,
Sons & Company, iron worksr' at Schaff:
hansen, who ask for the privilege OF
constructing a dam from Laufen Mill
to the railroad bridges, a length suf-
ficient to furnish them, with q volume
of seventy-6ve cubic meters per second.
If this is granted they propose to cstab-
lish works for the manufacture Of
aluminium. furnishing employment at
first to 500 workmen and latter to
double that number. They estimate
the water power requisite to carry on
their works at an equivalent of 1900
horse power and submit with their ap-
plication the necessary maps. plans
and drawings. They further announce
that a company with a capital Of H.
600, 900 francs (about G480, 000) is pre-
pared to conduct the enterprise, and
they offer all reasonable guarantees
against any marring or defacemsnt Of
the natural beauties Of the falls. The
proposition is being met with strong
opposition, this being@l led by the hotel
keepers, mon of influence in Switzer-
land and many others who are depend

trously and all over the Rhine district
