Deyonshire Cream.

Persons on their return from their
travels abroad express surprise that
they can never get at home such deli
cious cream as they have in England.
1t is kRown as Qevonshire cream, and
not many people. in this country espe-
cially, know what it is, but suppose it
to be the particularly rich cream of the
county in question, whereas every
American housekeeper may have
Devonshire cream on her own table if
she will take the trouble to prepare it.
Rich new milk is put in very shallow
vessel with an extended surface. and is
then set on the range, where the milk
will be warmed, but on no ACCOUNT must
it boi or even scald. The heat will
cause all The cream to rise to the sur
face in very short time. and the pan
is then taken off and placed in the ice
box or in a cool place. When Thoroughly
chilled the cream may be zen off and
will be nearly of the consistency Of
newly made butter. This is put in jars,
and at breakfast is helped with spoon
and is delicious with oatmeal, jams
berries-everything in fact that ordinary
cream is used for its merits being tina,
not only does one obtain the richest

TheI Household.
How to pistlnguish a GOOD Nutmeg.

Good nutmegs are always oblong,
about seven.eights of an inch in the
greatest diameter, and comparatively
heavy The housewife should always
distrust light nutmeg, for the chances
are that it has been deprived of its oil
by process of exposure to heated
plates and pressure When the oil has
been extracted, the nut is scarcely more
useful as condiment than a lump of
wood. This fraud is easily detected by
the extreme lightness of the nutmeg
which feels little heavier in the hand
than a cork.
Many old. insect ridded and utterly
worthless nuts are exported. The holes
and seams are deftly plastered up with
mixture of -four, cheap olive oil, and
pulverized nutmegs At Marseilles,
and elsewhere on the Mediterranean
coast, and, it is said, even at Batavia.

megs and mace pressed and in a mold.
Both the patched up and the false nuts
are coated with lime wash, and even an
expert cannot detect the imposition by
their outward aspect. But in either
case the fraud may be discovered by
soaking the nuts in water, when the
paste falls out of the doctored samples.
while the manufactured nutmegs speedi-
y crumble to powder. The housewife
should always submit her purchase of
the nuts to this simple test, since, if
sound, the fruit will take no harm, and
she may thus always be sure of obtain
ing her moneys worth She should
always reject the narrow, long shaped,
pointed nut, which is the wild variety,
and very nearly flavorless. These nuts
are often mixed with the round or Gull
t'vated species as an adulteration, be-
cause they cost only the trouble of
gathering them. The fraud is readily
detected by the sight. The mace of
this variety, also worthless, may be dis
covered by its want of the peculiar

Why is that? Has the tariff heer
