EAR PIERCING IN CHINA.

Every Chinese woman has her ears
pierced. In fact, the custom is nearly
as important as the binding of the
feet. When the child is year old, the
operation may be performed as soon
as convenient. 1t is considered quite
an art.
First, two little tassels Of red cotton
are prepared, with a blue bead on each
and a long end hanging loose. Then
the child's ears are pinched till they
are, numb, when needle is run
through and the thread after it till the
tassel hangs under the lobe, where it
is secured. Of course the child often
makes considerable objection to the
operation, and then, il there is kitten
anywhere near, its ears are often
pierced to encourage the human vic
tim. This accounts for the frequency
Of cats with holes and Sits in their
ears in the Celestial empire.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES.

If bathtub is not in such bad con-
dition that 1T needs to be reenameled,
it can be cleaned by the use Of a pow
dered whiting mixed TO a paste with
water. This must be left en- for an
hour or more and then washed off with
hot water. To re-enamel bathtub re-
move as much Of the old paint as posi-
Bile, then sandpaper it until it is very
smooth and it will be ready fer paint
ing. Use the proper bath enamel and
apply thinly. This enamel can be got
ten at most of our drug stores Three
coats are necessary to make the tub
look like new.
Open canned fruit an hour or so be-
fore using, that it may regain the ex-
cluded oxygen, this improves the flavor
wonderfully. 1t should be turned as
soon as opened into an earthen dish.
Hot dishes will ruin a polished table;
the best table mats are linen bags, into
which is slipped a piece of asbestos,
which gives absolute protection from
heat and dampness.
To keep tortoise shell bright the best
polish is rouge powder user for bright
ening silver. If thus treated regularly,
no tortoise shell, however old, need
look dull. as is so often the case.
If you have a garden, save soap suds,
for they are very beneficial to flowers
as well as vegetables. MARTHA.

Asparagus loaf is much more deli
cious, although little more expensive
than asparagus on toast. Cut the as
paragus into small pieces; cook until
tender in sailed water. drain and mix
with dressing made of -four, milk,
butter, salt and pepper; pack in hol-

Here is a very dainty and new way
of serving those delicious strawberries
just beginning to come into the market
Select some firm berries for the salad
and place on lettuce leaves, sprinkle
with very little lemon juice, and pour
over them some mayonnaise (made with
lemon juice instead of vinegar) and
serve, garnished with few strawberry
leaves.
There is probably no article of food
used by the housekeeper that requires
so much Judgment in its selection
as gelatine. Experts say: "Gelatine
is one of the best known agents for
the rapid propagation of germs" This
being the case great care should be
exercised in selecting pure unadul-
terated brand of this popular article.
Of late years many new brands of gel
atine have appeared upon the market,
some having merit, other of doubtful
commendation.
Spanish cream is really nothing but
gelatine made in little different way
than usual. Soak about a half cupful
of gelatine in a half cupful of water,
when it has softened add a little boil
ing water to dissolve it. Beat the
yolks of three eggs with three table
spoonfuls of sugar and add about one
pint of scalded milk. Put this into a
saucepan over the fire and stir until
it is little thicker, then add the dis
solved gelatine and strain and when
almost cold add a little vanilla and
the whites of three eggs beaten stiff.
- again and pour into cups to
mold.
