To make frosted chestnuts for a
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 If
used with fresh, cooked veal. Put a
cupful of chopped celery in the salad
bowl with a little over half as much
boiled sliced carrot and one pound Of
chopped veal; add very little raw,
finely chopped onion, season with salt
and pepper and very little melted but
ter; pour over half a cupful of good
vinegar and mix well.-Prairie Farmer.
Coffee cream will furnish some
thing new in way of dainty dessert. 1t
is made as follows: Make teacupfld
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 a saucepan set into
boiling water, and stir over the fire till
| the mixture. thickens; 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.
Serve in pretty cups or glasses. 1t may
be frozen if preferred.-N. Y. World.
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 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,
bun also moderates the ensuing infam-
nation.
Coffee as well as tea should be made
N an earthen pot. The best utensil for
making chocolate in is a wide-mouthed
| porcelain pot, where the chocolate can
be cooked very rapidly and where a
large surface is exposed. By this
method the oil does not separate from
| the chocolate as it does in covered
dish, or when the choc olate is cooked at
a 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 buy 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 well there is no excuse for
covering it like tea and coffee
