HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

binary ginger jar Do not paint it OF
paste anything on it. Leave it in its
pretty blue and the wicker covering,
removing only the handles, and get a
common brass lamp that will fit into the
jar.
Coffee stands first in the list of bev-
erages for the breakfast table, though
for nervous people, or those who are
afflicted with palpitation Of the heart, it
is not to be recommended. Now letsome
equally good authority tell you direct
.ly the opposite.

ham flour, one cup of wheat flour, two
tablespoonful melted butter, one. tea
spoonful Of soda, two tablespoon brown
sugar, two teaspoon cream tartar, one.
half saltspOon of salt, milk enough to-
mix, and make into biscuit, bake in a
moderate oven.
Tongue Toast-A very nice dish is
prepared from cold boiled OF potted
tongue. Slice the tongue and cut each
slice into small fine pieces; beat it in a
pan with little butter To prevent
burning moisten with warm water or
clear soup; add salt and pepper; stir
into it two beaten eggs. When set, ar
range neatly on toast.
There never was better advice given
than that which Washington Irving
gave to lady: '.Don't be too anxious
about the education of your daughters;
they will do very well; don't teach
them SO many things; teach them one
thing ..'What is that, Mr.. Irving?"
she asked. '.Teach them," he said,
ito be easily pleased.
Transparent Pudding The yolks Of
eight eggs beaten till very light, one ia
blespoopful of butter and one table
spoonful of sugar to each egg. Flavor
with a tablespoonful of rose water or
other extract that is perfectly clear.
Beat all together well and bake in plates
on puff paste. Serve moderately warm,
with granulated sugar sifted over their
tops. This quantity will fill two plates
Of large size.
A foreign dish that is better without
its name, is made by putting one pint of
split peas into one pint Of water OF soup
liquor, boil for five hours, until they are
soft and pulpy, renewing the liquor, add
a dessert spoonful of curry powder, two
Spanish onions cut up and fried, two
ounces of butter and a little cayenne,
three cloves chopped fine. 1t is better
to boil the peas some hours before re-
quired and then to heat them with the
other ingredients. Served with rice so
boiled that each kernal will fall apart
from the others.

a double boiler. Wet two even table
spoonfuls of cornstarch in little cold
milk, add the yolks of three eggs and
three tablespoonful of sugar and beat
with an egg beaten till very light; then
stir into the scalding milk Flavor with
lemon and let it cool. Line a pie-plate
with a nice crust and bake it, Then fill
with the cream and make a meringue
of the whites of the two eggs beaten
with two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar. Cover the top of the pie with
this and set on the upper CRATE of the
oven until the meringue is pale straw
color.
There is one thing that the best of
nurses should not be allowed to do, and
that is to stand with a baby at window
when the thermometer is much below
freezing. The cold fairly radiates from
the glass and strikes on the delicate
little lungs or legs when the baby is
short-coated. The nurse likes to in
dulge her curiosity as to passers-by in
the street, OF to watch and see who it
is that is getting out Of the carriage at
the door, and the next thing doctors
carriage has to draw up and the baby is
treated for Group or pleurisy. At no
time in winter is the window a good
place for baby to be held.
Rice Pudding A quarter of pound
'of rice, the same weight of sugar, one
quart tof milk, one pint of cream, half
an ounce Of gelatine. Parboil the rice
in water and then cook it soft and
thick in the milk, adding the sugar and
some vanilla, and, when nearly done,
add the gelatine, which has been dis
set it aside to become cold. Beat the
cream to:a stiff froth and mix it thor
0ughly with the cold rice. Put in a
mold which has been moistened with
cold water and set it on the ice. A IL
quor glass of Maraschino may be added
to the whipped cream. This amount is
sufficient for ten persons.
Miss Corson tells us it is quite I'M
safe to put frozen meat to the fire or
into the oven to cook without thawing
it first. The hea5 in the process of
cooking actually has the same effect
upon the frozen tissues that hot
weather would have upon long kept
meat, and the poultry or joint will
spoil before the fire, as it would in the
larders OF hung out of the window, in a
sudden change of temperature. Frozen
meats of course keep well, and there is
very slight if any difference in their
favor If mt INTO ,a,l8 w a ta, o., RI e1lor1od
