beaten separately. The yolk should be
beaten till it is very light and thick,
then pour it into the sweetened milk;
afterwards beat the white till it will
stand alone, and add gradually half
teaspoonful of white sugar; pile the
white on the top of the milk and serve
as before. Boston Budget.
When linen has been stained with
fruit juice of any kind, it should be
Immediately washed in hot water to
which little soda has been added. If
the stains are of long standing and are
very obstinate, draw the discolored
fabric over vessel filled with boiling
water and allow it to become saturated
with the steam; then, while it is held
in this position, rub salts of lemon upon
it until the stains are removed, place it
in hot water and leave it to soak. II
this does not avail, dip the stained part
of the material in a weak solution of
chloride of lime, and then wash it
thoroughly with cold water. The So
luton must not be too strong, and the
fabric should be allowed to remain in
it for only very short time.
