To broil mutton chops after the
English fashion, salt and pepper one
side and, putting the chops between
the bars of folding gridiron, put that
side first over a very clear, hot fire.
Allow them to remain two minutes,
till colored; pepper and salt the other
side, and reverse the gridiron; broil
two minutes and turn again; repeat
this process, without the salt and pep
per, eight times, shortening the time
to one and q half minutes after the
first round. When the chops are soft

take them out with the fingers, never
touching a fork to them till they are

For cleaning tinware there is moth
ing better than dry -four applied with
a newspaper. After being thoroughly
washed in very hot soapsuds and
wiped dry, the tin vessels should be
set on the top of the stove for a few
moments, and then vigorously secured
for a few minutes with the dry flour
rubbed on with a wad of newspaper
crulnpled and softened. In this way
tinware may be kept free from rust,
and almost as bright and glistening as
silver-care being had that it is never
put away damp, and that it is kept in
"a dry place.
On hygienic as we'll as housewifely
principles every woman should have a
rubber scraper for the sink. After the

iron rust, rub it over with a rag
dampened with kerosene.

face and neck generally broughthome
from a hard days shopping and from
a long round of calls aud afternoon
teas. She regards with intense dis
satisfaction the heavy lines drawn
around her eyes and mouth by the
long strain on the facial muscles, and
when she must carry that worn coun-
tenance to some dinner party or
evenings amusement it robs her of all
the pleasure to be had in it. The
| sponge and hot water represents the
best remedyin vogue. Battle the face in
water as hot as it can possibly be
borne; apply the sponge over and over
again to the temples, throat and be-
| nerves and muscles of the head centre,
and then battle the face in water run

smoothness of outline return to the
face, an astonishing freshness and
/ comfort results. and if followed by a
nap of ter minutes all trace Of fatigue
vanishes.
