The Hot Baked Bean.
oh! dainty thing is the hot baked BEAM
In the wintry time, wnen the lresh ana
OF garden truck is not.
He must be dyspeptc and victim Of bile
Who scorneth its rudy brown
AS it comes to the table, all smoking the
with a slab of rich pork for its crown.
Food for an emperor, king or a queen;
Oh! a dainty thing is the hot baked bean.
The lumberman droppeth his shining ak
When he heareth the whistle blow,
And straight for the shanty he maketh MS
Through the pine woods o'erladen with
snow; s
And the cowboy with appetite keen, -.
Spurs his broncho amain, for there wind
AssuTances most sweet of the bean.
Quickest of all moves of that day, ween;
Are moved at the call Of the hot paKeo
bean.
Whene'er there occurreth fierce vacuum
In the maiden OF Bostons ln ba Correct
And scorneth all visnds inferior, ho1o
Though Ibsen and Browning ct ah' nave
And give her pleasure serene. .,,o
There's naught fills the vacancy unueF INC
Like the browning on top of the bean.

Egg rolls are made in the same
manner as milk biscuit one beaten egg
being added to the milk. The dough
is lightly nodded into long rolls.
Oatmeal, wheat-oats or any cereal
may be served with dates, figs or other
fruit. The dates should be stoned
and lightly mixed through the cereal.
with a fork five minutes before serving
Figs should be cut into small bits.
Corn meal is too heating for warm
weather, but through this and the
next two months it can be used often.
Many raise the objection that it has
raw taste. This can be obviated by
thoroughly scalding the meal with
boiling water and for breakfast breads
this is best done over night; pour
over the meal and salt just enough
boiling water to thoroughly mix it, no
more; stir through and cover closely.
This gives the meal chance to swell
and the result is we'll worth the lore
thought. Do this on Monday night,
using one pint of meal and one tea
spoonful each of salt, sugar and butter.
next morning add one-half cupful OF
flour, one beaten egg, one scant tea
spoonful of baking powder and suffi-
Gent milk to mix to a thick pour-bat-
ter. Divide into two shallow, we'll
creased pans and bake in hot oven.
Do not use tea leaves in sweeping
delicate carpet or rug. They will stain
it. Bran or bits of newspapers damp
ened are much better. See that the
sweeping Is done the way Of the nap
of the carpet, it will last much longer.
If there are spots do not let them re-
main but wash them out with flannel
cloth and one tablespoonful of house
hold ammonia to quart of water. See
that the windows are opened when
your room is swept. All the windows
In the second floor should be opened
daily for at least twenty minutes.
This will change the air of the whole
house, as cold air falls. Even deli
cate plants are not injured if you are
careful that the air does not Blow on
them directly.
Very delicious and easy to prepare
in a chatting dish is a certain brew"
of vanilla caramels. Put into the
blazer two cupfuls of sugar, cup of
cream, and two generous tablespoon
fuls of butter. Stir constantly 10 pre-
vent scorching, until a little of the
boiling liquid will turn to a firm
paste If dropped in ice water. Re-
move from the fire, stir in two tea
spoonfuls Of vanilla extract, and beat
hard for several minutes before turn
ing the mixture into buttered pans to
cool. Mark off in squares. These are
relished by people who like granulat-
ed or sugar caramels.
Fresh fish are best when just taken
from the water. They are fresh when
tie eyes are clear, the fins stiff the
gills red and hard to open. Unless fish
have been frozen or have inhabited
muddy streams, they should not be
soaked. II frozen soak them in ice
cold water to thaw. If they have in
habited muddy streams, after they
have been cut up soak them in strong
salt water. A fish, or part of a fish,
of less than three pounds weight, ex-
cept rockf1sh, is too small for boiling.
Exact time for boiling fish cannot be
given, as much depends upon the size
and kind.
Useful Hints.
All rose leaves which are to be used
for pillows or sachets are improved by
having three or four drops of altar of
roses sprinkled over them.
