How to Use Lard: Lard for pastry
may be used as hard as it can be cut
with knife, and will make far better
paste than II let stand TO warm. It
needs only to be cut through the flour,
not rubbed. Christian Inquirer.

very light add one cupful of white
sugar, one teaspoonful of soda, two tea
spoonfuls cream tartar and flour to
make a stiff dough. Roll thin and

touch in the pan or become too brown

If pumpkin is peeled, cut up and
stewed rapidly, it makes coarse pies
which have very little of the native
cooked in a very small amount of water,
in thick, porcelain lined kettle, where
it will gradually steam for six or eight
hours, it acquires richness and sweet
ness that can not be obtained by any
other process of cooking it-Boston

-Croquignoles One pint of cream,
three eggs, one cup of white sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of baking powder, four
cups of flour; whip the cream to thick
froth; whip the yolks and whites of the
| eggs separately, and beat the sugar
well into the yollSs, to which add the
cream and the whites of the eggs To
the four cups of sifted -four add two
tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Stir
into the mixture as much of the flour
and baking powder as will enable you
to roll it out into soft paste. Cut the
paste into fancy shapes, and throw into
boiling lard until they turn a light
brown, then take them out, laying them
over drainer to dry; while still hot dust

The engravings which form the
srontispieces of magazines, if carefully
taken out and laid fat with piece of
tissue-paper over the black ink, will, in
time, form a collection. Make or buy
a portfolio large enough to project an
inch beyond the pictures, aud have a
separate portfolio for French, German
and American pictures. Make title
page index of white Bristol board, and
write in legible letters the name of
each artist, the dates of birth and DEATH
and the title of the picture that repre-
sents his work. These portfolios will
be found to be a great help in entertain
ing visitors, art being neutral topic
and not likely to provoke the clash of
opposite convictions, like personal be-
liefs in religion or politics. .-Demorest's
Magazine.
"A delicious method of serving cold
potatoes for breakfast is hashed and
Drowned Hash eight cold boiled pota-
toes. Put tablespoon and half of
butter in frying pan; season the pota-
toes with pepper and salt, turn them
into the hot butter in the frying pan,
smooth them out and set them back
where they will brown slowly. In from
ten to fifteen minutes begin to turn
them. Fold them over on one side of
the pan like an omelet, and dish the
Drowned roll as you would an omelet,
into the center of a meat platter. 1t re-
| quires some skill to manage this dish
without breaking it in the taking up. 1t
is sometimes an improvement to add
two tablespoons of cream to the hashed
potatoes before they are put in the pan.
