A low, broad shoe heer1s best for
cbiIdren's wear, IN the opinion Of the
Shoe and Leather Reporter. Spring
heels fatten and lengthen the foot,
and mothers are awakening to that
fact
Pure air is the food Of the lungs.
This is obtained by scientific vehtila-
ton, which consists in admitting cur
rents or movements through two or
more apertures.
Proper and sufficient clothing should
be worn; that which is loose, light and
warm. Light colors for summer, dark
for winter In summer wear flannel
bandage about the abdomen.
Personal cleanliness is essential.
Battle once a week. Battle to be of
the same temperature as the body.
Bathing enables the skin to throw off
effete matter, causing the dead and
useless epidermis to peel of.
If it is necessary to take charcoal
medlcir ally, a good way is tc put it
III a wide-necked bottle, pour in an
irch of water cork it and give it a
good shake. A few moments will
suffice to mix the charcoal and water
thoroughly.
Lemon Cheese.-One pound of sugar,
One-half pound of butter, juice of
three lemons, grated rind Of one, yoIks
Of six eggs, whites OF four; mix well
together, put into a bowl or jar and
place in a pan of water and boil until
thick, then turn into a mould; serve
cold with delicate cake.
PIums in Batter.-Make a batter of
four eggs, eight tablespoonfuls Of
flour, six ounces of sugar, a pint of
milk, and one heapedup teaspoOnful
of baking powder. Put some ripe
plUms in a deep dish and sift sugar
thickly over them. Pour in the bat
ter until the dish is full, and bake in
a hot oven until done.
Pineapple Syrup.-Pare a West
India or English pine of the outward
skin, then cut it up and put it into
mortar and pound it-adding pint of
water by degrees to every pound of
pulp; strain, and then add enc pound
of sugar to every pint of juice; boil for
twenty minutes, and when cold, bottle.
The easiest and best way to wash
carpets is to sweep and pound out
al. the dust possible; then sew a strong
loop to each corner, stretch out on the
grass and hold to place with pegs
driven into the ground and clean with
& broom same as floor: first sweep
with clean water on both sides till all
the dirt is out; then go over it with
clean water till thoroughly rirsed, and
stretch on clean spot and leave till
dry. 1t dries much quicker than on
line, and no danger 0 being streaked.
If cleaned right after breakfast on
clear day it will be dry by night.
Homemade Marmalade-Take five
large bitter oranges and one lemon,
put twenty large cups of water into
basin, cut the oranges lengthways into
eight, and with a very sharp knife cut
them into slices crossways on u dinner
plate. Pick out the stones and put
them in a basin as you cut them, let
it stand twenty-four hours. then puC
it on the fire in a brass pan. When il
comes to a boil put in six pounds Of
sugar, boil for one and half hours,
put it into small pots. If it is not
quite jellied, cover and put it on a
kitchen shelf. In a week or two you
will find II quite stiff. I make this kind
every year, and we like it better than
any other kind. February is the best
month for making maTmalade.
