guests were mostly mothers, one of
them remarked that she wished there
were some cast.iron rules to bring up
boys, in which case she might hope not
to 90 astray so often Another mother
thought cast-iron boys would be needed
to fit the rules II once met a woman,
she went on to say. ''who had a large
family Of sons grown to manhood at
the time. How did you bring them
up" I asked eagerly OF her. 'Well,'
she replied, with smile, 4 had nine
sons aud nine systems, one to a son.

could stand identical treatment" Any

Beef Tea--Cut in small pieces two
pounds weight OF fresh lean beef. add
three pints of cold water, when on the
eve of boiling carefully remove the
scum, the moment it boils add a pint of
cold water, then let it boil up again
and remove the scum as before. If by
this time it is not pefectly clear, the
same quantity of water may be added
the second time. which will cause more
scum to rise. The same remarks apply
to all other broths and gravies, which
will always be transparent and finely
favored if the same rule be observed
Beef tea should be allowed to simmer
not less than three-guarters of an hour
and not more than one hour from the
time it is last Standardization
