THOSE NOISY MOONS.
The hungry stomach feels the noontide
The csammy waiter lions his unclean coat
OF furnished white. from OFFICES remote
Or near dy~spepties, halchet-faced and sour,
and glover
Like children put at tasks of rule and
Each forcing down his hal~f-reluctant
Some strange connection wrought of woe
and -four.
And all about a clash and crash resounds
As of some ancient, elemental strife
OF chaos, matching to pernicious life.
Where on9y boom or gun and martial
Might i1Il our senses while our belts en-
large! Chicago Record.
Not only is the wife of the German
Emperor a notable ~housekeeper and
manager, but his grandmother, the late
Empress Augusta, was also
for her housewifely accomplishments.
Besides being a good cook, she was an
excellent dressmaker, in which branch
of industry she took great pains.
Another royal dame, and an exceed
ingly young one, who has housewifely
tastes is Queen Wilhelmina. Her ma
jesty could take a job as housekeeper,
since she is not only a good cook but a
laundress as well.
1t is well known that the Princess of
Wales and her two sisters were early
trained in all the domestic economies.
They had to make their own gowns
when at home, and the Princess of
Wales has always been an industrious
worker. She has become an expert
bookbinder.
CORN AND RICE MUFFINS-Two
cups of white cornmeal sihted with a
teaspoonful Of salt, one and one-half
cups of boiled rice, one teaspoonful Of
butter, enough boiling water to scald
it all and leave it thick; let cool, then
add n cup sour milk, one-half teas
poonful of soda dissolved in milk, and
two well-beaten eggs. Bake in gem
tins n half hour.
OYSTER PIE-Make a biscuit dough
OF n quart flour, two teaspoons bak-
ing powder, one-half "teaspoonful of
salt, two tablespoonfuls of butter, milk
or water to make a dough not too
stiff. Take two-thirds of the dough
and roll out to fit a good sized baking
dish, sprinkle this with a little flour
and add quart of oysters. To the
juice of the oysters add one teaspoon
full of cornstarch; pour over oysters,
cover with small Jumps of butter and
season highly with salt n pepper.
Roll out the remaining dough and
cover pie with it, making missions in
ate oven until the crust is a rich
brown.
RICHMOND SAUCE-One pint cook
ed tomatoes, one cup water, two cloves,
one teaspoonful Of mixed herbs, two
sprigs of parsley. Put all on to boil
in a granite saucepan. Fry one table
spoonful of chopped onion in one table
spoonful Of butter until yellow; then
add a tablespoonful of c%ornstarch and
stir all into the tomato. Simmer for
ten minutes; add one-half teaspoonful
of salt and one-half t~easpoonful of
pepper, a dash of cayenne and strain,
and it is ready for use. This should
be poured over the oyster pie while
hot.
Pickles, catsups and reliShes are now
SO largely used that all of us feel as
if a meal is hardly complete without
something OF that sort. One item in
their favor is that they may all be
prepared in the autumn and then kept
for a day of need. All condiments con
tanning vinegar should be cooked in a
porcelain vessel. never one of tin.
1t is about time now for gathering
walnuts for picking. To make the
pickle, gather the number Of walnuts
required while still tender. Prick them
