fowls are boiled, it will serve TO make
them tender.
In canning fruit, use the extra juice
that cannot be put into the jars TO make
ielly. Add enough dissolved gelatine to
the Juice TO make il mold when cold ;
serve it with whipped cream, and you
have delicious dessert.
In washing chamois skin, use tepid
water TO which little ammonia has
been added. Rinse them thoroughly,
stretch, and put them in the shade to
dry. When partly dry, stretch the skin
again, and the skin will be soft and like
new when done.
Wash the glass, the decanters es-
pecially, in hot water, and rub them up,
when well rinsed, with pieces of news
paper. This answers much better than
wiping them with cloth. IL much STAIN

The foods of a yellow and white
luncheon may consist Of cream OF celery
soup, creamed oysters in cases, broiled
or fried sweetbreads, with green peas,
stuffed potatoes, eggs, celery, salad with
waters and cheese, orange sherbet with
angel food, and coffee. A simple
vet delicious luncheon, that may be
easily served by the woman who has
only one maid or no maid at all, consists
of lobster Newburg in the chatting dish,
Graham sandwiches and finger-rolls,
salad Of tomatoes and water-cress, or
tomatoes on lettuce with waters and
cheese, coffee or fruit jelly with little
cakes, or cold or frozen pudding with
coffee.
A number Of appetizing desserts can
be made with French prunes; take, for
example, a prune soufile. Soak q half
pound of French prunes all night; stew
them until soft, and sweeten when hall
cooked; mash them and remove the
stones. Beat to a very stiff froth the
whites Of six eggs and sweeten TO taste,
then drop in the prunes, a spoonful at
time, beating very hard. Turn the
mixture into deep dish, and bake 1t ten
or fifteen minutes. 1t will puff up, and
must be eaten Immediately, as 1t falls as
soon as cool, or IL baked too long. Make
q soft custard with the yolks Of the eggs,
serve In sauce pitcher, and pour some
over each portion a. Il Is helped.

QUEER ECONOMICAL sIRsAks.

IL is very strange how differently the
economical streak Il developed In differ
ent persons. We once knew well-to-do
father OF family, who thought that TO
hire a carriage for any purpose was 10
bespeak an instantaneous removal TO the
poorhouse: therefore II his wife and
daughters CHANGED when nicely dressed
20 get caught in shower of rain, more
dry goods would be ruined In the opera
ton of walking, umbrella In hand,
through il. than would pay for q car
rage several times over. Another
gentleman was so economical OF waters
as invariably to break one In halves when
sealing letter. Another boarded up
the blank page OF old letters TO save
stationery Aud yet, In other respects,
these good people were not niggardly.
II the reader will take pains TO question
himself, very likely the result will be
the discovery in himself OF just such a
queer vein OF stinglness, about some lit
tie every day matter, not before self
acknowledged.

will gulp down baited hook with his

where this gourmahd of the seas has

New Jersey Skater Rescued by Female
 Heroisan aud Originality.
 John Mitchell, well known young man, broke through the ice while skating on Speedwell lake near Morristown, N. J. Tho water was deep aud cold. and Mitchell screamed for help as he strug- gled for life. Several young women who witnessed tho accident went to his as- sistance and by prompt and original plans began a schelne to rescue him.
 Several excited young men skated up intent on bravo deeds, full of suggestions, but devoid of plans The young women pushed them out Of the way without ceremony and set about to work out Mitchell's salvation by their own meth ods. Two of the girls lay down on the ice and the others held on their dresses while they reached into the water and seized tho drowning man by the arms Considerable vigorous pulling resulted ill bringing Mitchell out upon the stron- ger ice, where he soon recovered his breath and went home to thaw out.
