MEAT PIE AND SOUP.

A very good dinner may be prepared
from ten.cent soup bone as follows:
Early in the morning place the soup
bone in the pot and cook over a slow fire.
About half-past 10 take from the pot and
cut off slices of the lean meat to make
meat pie; return bones to pot.
Make crust from one teacup sour
cream, one teaspoon soda, pinch of salt;
roll half an inch thick, line the sides of a
pan and lay the slices of meat in and
cover we'll with soup from the pot.
Some small pieces of dough may be cut
off and added to the meat to make dump
lngs, season with dash of cayenne pep
per and salt to taste; cover with the
dough and bake about one hour. When
done take off the top crust, and if it has
cooked nearly dry add more soup from
the kettle. Then mix one tablespoon
-four in a little cold water and add.
When it boils take from oven, replace
top crust and place on table. To soup
in the pot may be added vegetables,
noodles or whatever is iked.-Detroit

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
GETTING RID OF ANTS.

Among other annoying insects ants of
the various species are sometimes the
most troublesome when they get into the
house. For ants in the cupboard, writes
Delaware housewife, sprinkle very
little sulphur on the shelves or tie up a
little of it in bags and leave them around
in places where they frequent. This
seems to keep them away. A few days
ago discovered multitude of little red
ants about the steps of the back door. I
sprinkied few tablespoonfuls of gasoline
on them and they quickly dispersed

HINTS. ABOUT HOUSE PLANTS.

When do you want your plants &c
bloom2 It is question you will need to
decide at the outset, for while most
plants with fair chance will bloom in
the summer season, special treatment is
necessary and unremitting care if you
would have the CHEEKY, bright blossoms
come to you when winter winds are moan
ing dirges over the "dead past" of out
door plant life.
Is the location of the windows to which
your plants must be confined during the
cold weather such that they will have the
benefit of the morning Or midday sun
shine? If not, your chances for winter
blossoms are quite diminutive, and you
would better encourage your plants to do
their best for you while they respond so
readily to your care, and for the winter
plants content yourself with the beauti.
full greenery of those named as being the
best all-the-year-round, general-purpose
plants, aud for variety place them among
a few of the harder varieties of such as
are admired for their foliage alone. Or
you may add a few plants, which from
their natures, are less dependent upon
direct sun-rays for the development OF
their flowers.
Plants intended for winter blooming
should be brought early into winter quar-
tiers, and if possible, placed just where
they are to remain. And when I say
early, do not mean that one may wait
till there are threats of frost. The chill
atmosphere that precedes and warns of
coming frost may work dire results to the
buds of promise with which the plants
are freighted, and they will blight and
fall away ere the time for ful6lment, leav-
ing you to wonder that the carefully kept
plants do not bloom, though you are sure
they were not touched by the frost. A
chill to the buds is as a nip of frost to the
stalk, and after either you must wait for
blossoms.
And now if you will 60 back and read
that item again, and think, you can
make fair guess at one of the principal
reasons that SO few plants bloom in the
winter. The variable temperature of an
ordinary room, even though it never
falls to the point of frost, works ruin
among the buds, and that, too, where
there is no perceptible effect on the
foliage of the plants. In room whose
temperature in the day time is kept high,
as most of US enormously keep our rooms,
and which is allowed at night to fall
within ten degrees of freezing, there will
not be very satisfactory floral display.

Much OF the heat of our houses is sup
piled by the kitchen range, which Bridget
keeps red hot even in the dog days. Pre-
vent this by using a gas stove or oil stove
as far as possible. Then shut up tight all
rooms not in use. Not only should the
shutters and windows be closed. but the
blinds must be lowered to exclude every
ray OF light, and the doors locked to pre-
vent the running in and out of the chill
dren, who thus admit waves of heated air.
Perhaps 1t would be neither wise nor prac-
tica5lc TO Theoretically seal all the rooms
OF house, but one room, at least, can be
so treated-the parlor. and also the dining
room between meals; the room selected
should be closed early in the morning
while the air has some freshness. and be-
fore the sun strikes the windows; then it
should not he opened until late in the after
noon.
Every house should have an accessible
trap door in its roof, and when this is left
open a current OF heated air must rise
through il and make n general draught
over all the house. Awnings should be
light in color, and should be at all windows
and doors except those to the north. They
are great helps in keeping out glare, but
they should be chosen of kind which is
readily raised and lowered. After sun
down, aplentiful watering OF your street
