When sweeping a room it is all very
well to open the windows, providing
the wind is not blowing that way. In
the latter case they are better shut, as
the dust is then blown into all parts OF
the room. Open the windows after the
first dust has settled.
Quick Slaw: Chop half fine head
of cabbage, sprinkle pepper and salt
upon it and pour over it vinegar sufi-
cient to flavor it. Beat up the yolks of

and two tablespoonfuls of fresh butter;

Preserving the Color of Spinach:
If in cooking spinach you use only the
water that clings to it after the wash
ing, and add one tablespoonful of salt
for each peck of spinach, the green
color will be preserved. The spinach
is more bitter when cooked in this
manner than when it is cooked in more
water. AS for myself, prefer the more
delicate flavor one gets by cooking it in
large quantity of water Ladies'

To keep griddle in good order so
that cakes baked thereon NAV always
present clear. brown surface, scour it
occasionally with thick stale crust of
bread and a little dry salt, and never
neglect to wipe it clean around the
edges before putting it away. Jelly
and cake tins that are in constant use
should be boiled two or three times
year in strong suds with handful of
washing soda dissolved therein. m. Y.
Times.
Dreamed Celery: The outer stalks
will do for this. Cut into convenient
bits stew in broth until tender, drain
and let them come to the boil in enough
white sauce to cover them. The broth
or stock in which the celery is stewed
will be nicely favored and should be
used in soup. The whole cooking may
be done in the sauce made rather thin
to allow for slight boiling away.-N.

Cracker Crullers: Split common
white crackers Prepare bowl of cold
water with tri1e of salt dissolved in it.
Soak the divided crackers, one or two
at time, in the cold water, while the
spider is heating on the stove add

When the crackers are partly swollen
and tender throughout, drain them
quickly from the cold water and lay
them in the spider, there to sputter and
brown on both sides. Serve neatly piled
on a hot plate, and add more butter while
eating if desired.-Christian Inquirer
