To mend china, take very thick
solution of gum arabic and water, ana
stir into it plaster of Paris until the
mixture becomes viscous paste. Apply
it with brush to the fractured edges
and stick them together. In three days
the article can not be broken in the
same place. The wilderness of this ce-
nent renders it doubly valuable.
Chicken Hash: Mince cold roast or
boiled chicken not very fine, and to one
cupful of meat add two tablespoonful
good butter, one-half cup of milk,
enough minced onion to give slight
flavor, and salt, pepper and mace to
taste. Stew it and stir often, and serve

To make frosted chestnuts for q
winter-evening confection, roast the
nuts, shell them, and then dip them in
the beaten white of eggs. Roll them in
powdered sugar, and let them dry on an
inverted sieve in the oven, which should
be moderately heated. Almonds and
walnuts may be frosted in the same way.
Carrot Salad: Carrots boiled and
sliced help to make very good salad ii
used with fresh, cooked veal. Put a
cupful of chopped celery in the salad
bowl with little over half as much
boiled sliced carrot and one pound of
chopped veal; add a very little raw,
finely chopped onion, season with salt

of the strongest and clearest coffee. Put
the coffee, when made, with two yolks
of eggs and one ounce of sugar, into a
double boiler or saucepan set into
boiling water, and stir over the fire till
the mixture thicl1ens; then let it get
cold. Whip pint of good cream quite
stiff, and then add the coffee to it by de-
grees. so that it is smooth and thick.

In every case of injury, in cuts,
stabs and gun-shot wounds, in contu-
sions, sprains dislocations and frac-
lures, in burns. frostbites and frozen
members, the first measure to be
adopted is the application of cold in the
form of ice, snow or cold water These
substances are best applied in an animal
bladder or a rubber bag. When towels
wet in cold water are used, they require
to be renewed every minute, for, unless
frequently changed, they really act as
poultices to the part, inviting what we
wish to prevent. Cold not only shameless
any bleeding which may occur, unless
the hemorrhage is altogether too severe,
bul also moderates the ensuing infam-
nation.
Coffee as we'll as tea should be made
in an earthen pot. The best utensil for
making chocolate N is wide-mouthed
porcelain pot, where the chocolate can
be cooked very rapidly and where a
large surface is exposed. By this
method the Oh does not separate from
the chocolate as it does in a covered
dish, or when the chocolate is cooked at
low temperature. Pour the chocolate
in an uncovered china or earthenware
pitcher and serve it with bowl Of
whipped cream. Do not be tempted by
a name to bay a so-called chocolate
pitcher. They are good for coffee, or
even tea, but chocolate should not be
served in a covered pitcher. 1t retains
the heat so we'll there is no excuse for
covering it like tea and coffee.
