To Preserve Mushrooms.

Choose perfectly unblemished mush-
rooms, wipe them clean, removing the
brown parts and the skin; then lay
them on sheets of clean paper IN cool
oven, and let them dry very gently; they
will shrink immensely in the process.
When perfectly dry store them either
in paper bags or strung on threads,
and hang them in cool, dry place.
The great secrets are to have perfect
ly sound mushrooms and let them cook
as gently as possibly till every drop Of
moisture has been evaporated and they
are as dry as leather. When wanted
for use, put them in a pan of cold
sauce or stock, bring them very slowly
to simmering point, and let them cook
at the same gentle heat till they have
swollen out again almost to their orig
inal size. The best way to keep them
is to have some perfectly clean bags,
such as grocers use, and prick these
all over with very tine pin or needle;
this will allow the air to reach without
letting in the dust on them. If by any
chance the mushrooms are too dry to
keep in this way let them stay in the
oven till perfectly crisp, then pound
them to a fine powder and store IN
tightly stoppered bottles.

Proper way to Cook Eggs.

The best way to ''boil" an egg is to
never boil it! Put quart of water in
a covered saucepan on the stove, and
when it boils furiously, lower into it
gently four eggs; removelthe saucepan
Immediately to table, and allow it to
stand (covered) seven minutes If the
eggs are not more than day old, eight
or nine minutes if a week old; take
them out and they are perfect, soft,
even, yet firm Jelly throughout.
To Poach-Have a rather deep
spider nearly full of salted water just
below the boiling point; break the eggs
in saucer and slide them gently into
the water; when they have slowly
iellied, take them up carefully Ito but
tered toast slices, if desired), trim
ming the edges and seasoning lightly
with salt and pepper. 10 facilitate
the taking up flor which a pancake
turner is better than a skimmer) pour
off most of the water with care.
To Fry-If not to be served with
bacon when, of course, the bacon fat
would be used), fry in good butter,
and when the part next the pan is
cooked, stand the pan on the upper
grating of the oven to finish, that nc
part may be overdone.
To lizard Boil'-Keepin water just
below the boiling-point for half an
hour. Home Companion.

On the R1tflpfgJd

ganzation known as the Woman's Relief
Corps whose aid to the soldier of to-day,
fighting against the word fora living, is no
less notable than the herOiSm OF the early
COS.
One OF the most earnest members OF the
corps at Byron, H., is Mrs. James House
weart, but illness once put stop to her
active work. A year or so ago, when she
was nearing fifty years of age, the time
when women must be most careful Of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweart was taken
seriously i'll. The family physician told
her that she had reached a critical period
OF her life, and must be very careful.
His prescriptions and treatment did not
benefit her and other treatment proved un-
svailing.
At last Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with
indisputable evidence that they were help
full in cases such as hers. and with renewed
hope she tried the remedy. Last March
she took the first box Of the pills, which
gave much relief. She was determined to
be cured, and kept on with the medicine,
until now eight boxes have been consumed,
and she feels like 4 new woman.
Mrs. Houseweart said: II have taken
only eight boxes but have been improv-
ing since l took the first dose. l do not
believe | could have lived without the
pills. They certainly have done me more
good than any physician or any medicine l
have ever tried"

Household Hints.

Tumblers that have contained milk
should never be washed in hot water,
as it clouds the glass permanently.
Many house cleaners do not know
that an old carpet scrubbed with COM
mon yellow soap and hot water and
afterward with clean cold water will
be wonderfully improved.
Remember that mirrors should
never be hung where the sun shines
directly upon them. They look misty,
and grow rough and granulated, and
do not give back correct picture.
To powder parsley, dip the bunch
quickly into boiling water to make 1t
brilliant green, then put it into a
hot oven for few minutes to dry
thoroughly. Break into fine flakes.
Someone advises that the stringy
coat left on bananas after they are
peeled should be removed before eat
ing. 1t is this, like the white, pithy
underskin of an orange, which is indi-
gestible.
The height of beds can be changed
easily by new reversible grip rail
which has a double head to fasten in
the head and tail boards of the bed
stead, thus bringing the springs on
the upper or under sides as desired.
If in the house cleaning the cor
ners of drawers and closet floors are
scalded with hot potash water, allow
ing tablespoonful of the potash to a
half gallon of water, germs of nox'
ious kind and insects eggs will be de-
stroyed and the air of the house
sweetened and purified.
A clothespin bag made of bedtick,
ing or something stout, in the form Of
a pocket, with slit on the front side,
is much easier to get at than com
mon bag. A bedticking apron, with
large pocket across the bottom, is
better than either. A basket exposes
the clothespins to dust, and the
clothes suffer accordingly.

Ferti1izinr for Strawberries.

Nitrate Of soda is valuable fertilizer
for Strawberries and raspberries, and
should be applied with powdered phos-
phate Of lime. This application to
strawberries will sometimes treble the
yield. The berries are larger in size,
handsomer in color, more solid and
finer in flavor. Ordinary manure will
not produce such results, as it is not
converted into plant food until after
the demand of the fruit. Nitrate of
soda and powdered phosphate Of Sme
are assimilated by the plant at once,
and appropriated at cost of less than
$40 per acre, using 400 pounds of the
mixture which contains the three In
gradients considered necessary to use
for feeding plants; nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and an alkali.-Meehan'S Monthly.

Jelly From q Mould.

1t is very easy to turn Jelly from a
mould. First, remember that air
must reach the very bottom before
the Jelly can come out. AS soon as
you succeed in getting the air to
reach the bottom it will at once force
out the jelly. Dip the mould i'll cold
water before you put the Jelly in.
When cold and ready to turn out, dip
the mould for an instant in warm
water. Then loosen the edges and
hold the mould on the side, allowing
the jelly to leave the mould. The
air will rush in to fill this space, and
as you turn it over gently on the
plate, will force the Jelly out.-La-
dies Home Journal.

CUBAN PINEAPPLES.

Nowhere on the globe do pineapples

Before the war it was the sight of
8 lifetime to go out TO Marianao, a
suburb Of Havana, and there drive
through an estate which had $4,000
pineapple plants in full bearing. Over
in Nassau they call the pine planta-
tions groves and orchards" as if
they were trees. Whether groves or
fields the plant is about the same, pro-

A plant produces only one pine at

How to Cook Corn.

Corn on the cob is not always
cooked properly. To have this nutri-
tious vegetable in perfection the husks
should be left on the ear just before
cooking. Remove the husks and
plunge the ears into boiling water.
Cook from five to eight minutes, ac-
cording to the size of the corn. Do
not salt the cooking water. as it tends
to tougher the corn.
