For the Cook.

Corn is sufficiently cooked during the
process of canning and when used should
only be brought to the boiling point.
Further cooking hardens the grain and
impairs the flavor.
Canned tomatoes, corn and other vege-
tables have more delicious favor if they
are turned out upon platter or other fiat
dish an hour or two to regain the oxygen
that was excluded when they were sealed
hot
Canned sardines carefully Drowned on a
double wire gridiron and served with
lemon are appetizing.
Canned tomatoes are more delicious
baked than stewed About ten minutes
before removing from the oven spread
buttered bread crumbs over the top.
Boston crackers split, slightly buttered
and toasted on the split side are delicious
served with bouillon, oysters, etc.
As desert in emergencies serve canned
peaches, sliced pineapples, or apricots with
whipped cream, wafer or cake.
Lemons may be kept fresh a long time
by placing in an open jar, covering with
very cold water, standing in cold place,
and renewing the water every day
Lemons and oranges should be cleansed
thoroughly with vegetable brush and
cold water before using the peel.
Paprika is trife stronger than white
pepper, and while it has not the biting
quality of cayenne has more exquisite
flavor than either when used in cooking
There is no economy in saving cents
worth of stale bread by adding five times
its value in other materials and making Il
pudding that no one relishes when done.
Better dry and roll the bread for crumbs
and keep on hand in glass fruit jar.
Save the tips and stalks of celery that
are left on the table and slice and dry
them in moderate oven, for use in flavor
ing soups and the like.
The thorough heating of the teapot is
the first step towards making nice cup Of
tea.
If you we're to see the refuse from
which paper is made, the chemicals
that are used, and the various processes
that it is put through you would put
piece of buttered muslin in the bottom Of
cake tins and the like.
To roast green coffee perfectly put it in
the oven until thoroughly hot, then turn
it into corn pepper and shake over hot
fire until evenly Drowned. Take from the
stove, add quickly teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar, shake until dissolved, turn
into glass self-sealing fruit jar, and grind
only as required.

Impure Ice.
From American Analyst.


The danger of an impure-ice supply has
been the subject of a very thorough inves-
tigation by the Massachusetts State Board
of Health, which attributes many cases of
typboid-fever occurring in cities in au-
tumn to bad water and the results of bad
draininge, or none at all, In the summer re-
sorts. The board, therefore, urges upon
people who are considering the question
where to spend the summer the import
ance of selecting places which have proper
drainage and pure-water supply. In places
where ponds are made for the purpose Of
collecting water for supply of ice it is
almost certain to be contaminated with
sewage. as freezing does not kill but only
conceals bacteria A most mysterious case
of wholesale poisoning at summer hotel
was finally traced to the impure ice which
had been secured from neighboring shallow
ponds Upon analysis the melted ice was
found to contain, in suspension, large
quantity of decomposed vegetable matter.
The organic matter mostly settled at the
bottom of the vessel, but the lighter mat
ter remained diffused through the water.
The pond, the source of supply, was ex-
amined and found stagpats, and at one
end a putrescent mass emitted an intolera=
bly offensive odor. 1t was reasonably sup
posed that the ice was the cause Of the
sickness and upon its disuse the epidemic
abated. Professor Raphael Pumpelly, who
made investigations for the National Board
of Health, has no doubt that ice can carry
any disease that the water from which it is
frozen can convey and that there is even
more danger from the ice than there is
from the water itself, since sewage is more
easily decomposed in summer than in win
ter. While in cities the greater part Of
the ice received is pure, in towns where
the supply is taken from shallow ponds
both the water and the ice may bea source
of danger.

If you have any trouble in securing per-
feet cleanliness about the kitchen sink and
drain pipe, have little concentrated lye
sprinkled over the strainer every night.
Some Of il, Of course, is washed into the
pipe, and there unites with the grease and
forms strong soft soap. As soon as there is
boiling water in the morning, pour gallon
of il down the pipe. This will cleanse it
thoroughly.

To Prevent Guns from Rusting.

The best way to preserve gun from
rusting, says writer in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, is to have ring of zinc
soldered round the barrel, or, if it is not
convenient to do this, to have long strip
of zinc soldered out of sight underneath
the barrel. The galvanic action which is
excited between the zinc and the iron
efFectually prevents the oxidation of either
metal, and as long as the zinc remains in
contact with the iron not particle Of rust
will appear on either the inside or outside
of the barrel.
