How to Thread n Needle,

An ingenious lady has suggested an
improvement in the method of holding
a needle for the purpose Of threading
1t. 1t is to be held between the third
and little fingers Of the left hand in.
stead Of by the thumb and forefinger,
palm uppermost. The advantage of
this is that the thumb and first finger
can be used to grip the smallest end Of
the thread as soon as it protrudes from
the eye, a method preferable to that of
letting go the thread and endeavoring
to get hold of the end with the right
hand. This prevents the weight Of the
cotton from dragging the end out Of
the eye again.

when used upon the face will tone
down freckles to considerable extent.
The most simple one is liquid mix

HOW TO ROAST MEATS.
Plain Directions For Performing
This Culinary Feat.

Plain Directions For Performing
This Culinary Feat.
Roast meat. though one Of the COM
monest modes of dressing it, Is by no
means an easy task. Roast meat is
or dried up till there is scarcely any
gravy in it. Now good roasting con-
sists in dressing the joint thoroughly
and yet retaining it's juice.
The fire should be prepared some
time before the meat Is put In the
oven. 1t should be so good as not to
require making up while the joint Is
roasting. A great deal of the success
in roasting will depend on the fire.
The meat should be basted from the
first to shut in the juices.
The fat Of lamb or veal should be
covered with piece Of paper tied on
with Irvine. The meat should be bast-
ed very frequently. for the more it is
basted the better it will taste. When
nearly done, the paper may be remov.
ed and the joint lightly dredged with
-four in order to give 1t a savory
brown appearance, sometimes called
frothing. When ready to dish, sprin-
kle lightly with salt.
The usual time for roasting is Is min.
utes for each pound Of meat. Brown
meats, however, require less time than
white meats. When it Is dished, the
fat which is left in the pan may be
poured into a basin previously dipped
In cold water. If removed the next
day, there will be found beneath the
fat fine meat jelly for gravies or
soups. The cake Of fat should be melt
ed and strained into cold water, from
which it can be removed and kept for
future use.
