the bottom of the dish pan and allowed
to grind around till the white dishes
are washed. The pieces lose their plat
ing and beauty very soon. Wiping
them by handfuls is not good plan for
the same reason. A box or drawer in
which are placed knives, forks and
spoons is TO be avoided, as the constant
turning wears the most prominent
parts very quickly. Rural New
Yorker.
Pumpkin Pie. Pare the pumpkin
and cook in but little water, so that
when done it can be sifted quite dry

Veal and Ham Sandwiches. Chop
fine the remnants of cold roast veal,
using any bits of crust or stufing, and

Mix to smooth paste with table
spoonful of butter rubbed to cream,
and spread between thin slices of but
tered bread. An easier way is to cal
culate the quantity of butter required
to spread the desired number of sand
wiches and, instead of spreading the
bread, cream the butter and mix it
with the filling. The result, as far as
taste is concerned, is the same and the
process much easier. -Harper's Bazaar.
"A good way to amuse sick child
who can not sit up or entertain itself
in ways ordinarily dear to the infantile
soul is to arrange a mirror on an easel
in such a way as to reflect the objects
to be seen from the window. If no
easel is procurable, an upright stick
fastened to the back of chair will an
swer the purpose, and the mirror can
be tilted at various angles and moved
backward and forward to bring differ
ent portions of the outdoor scene into
view. If the child is too weary to care
for the moving panorama of the street,
the glass can be made to reflect the
restful blue of the sky or the billowy
cumulus clouds, which will generally
have soothing effect and make tired
eyelids droop and tired little bodies re-
lax into health-giving slumber.
