two teacupfuls cold corned beef. Scald
slice of onion in teacupful of the
liquor in which the beef was boiled, If
not too salt, or instead use teacupful
milk. Thicken it with tablespoonful
each of flour and butter rubbed smooth
ly together, add two well-beaten eggs,
and the minced beef. Season to taste
with salt and pepper IA few spoonfuls

"A convenient and excellent method
of laundrying handkerchiefs is extern
sively used by European lady travellers,
and is serviceable to many others.
When properly washed, they should be
wrung out of either hot or cold rinsing-
water, but not wrung very dry. Now,
having wiped off any dust from the
mirror, marble table or in an emer-
gency, the window-pane, smooth the
wet linen carefully on the glass or mar
bic surface, being very careful to press
out all wrinkles, and see that every
part clings closely to the surface. EN-
broidery can be made to look very
nicely. In a few hours the handker-
chief will be beautifully smooth and
