Hints for the Housekeeper.
In selecting salt mackerel, examine them
carefully. If rusty in appearance reject
them.
In "trying out" or clarifying butter it is
done oyhen the froth begins to rise. Skim,
strain, store in a cool place and keep well
covered.
THE sauce par excellence for broils Is
mushroom ketchup; and the garnlsh crisp
lettuce, watercress or endive.
THE water drained from macaroni, cab
bage or any vegetable, sfmmered with
the bones from roast beef, little boiled
rice, bit of onion and thicken1ng OF hour
makes a good, palatable soup.
NEW tins should be set over the fire, filled
with water, for some hours before using
them.
BREAD that is to be kept for week should
be kneaded longer than that to be eaten
soon.
THE marrow in bones should be scraped
ont and used for cooking. 1t Is more deli
cate for this purpose than suet.
BUTTER for cooking should always be clari-
fed.
MUSTARD for instant uses should be mixed
with milk--to which a little thin cream
should be added.
SOAR lasts much longer If bought by the
quantity, cut in squares and kept in dry
place to harden. ELLICE SERENA.
