The huckleberry. of which the good doc
tor makes so much grows wild in various
| parts of the world, from the woods of
| Maine and the pastures of the granite
state to the tangled chaparal of the Pacific
| slope from the braes of Scotland to the
oak forests of Servia and fertile plains of
| Hungary.
The BURBERRY is probably the best fruit
| Of this family to serve on the table or in
| cake biscuit or buildings, but any member
| of It's tribe is worthy of appreciation When
| great-great- grandmother was a tiny maid
| blueberries, with bread and milk, eaten
from her little pewter porringer formed
| the wholesome supper on which she throve
and grew apace Ana there Is nothing
| more delicious. Burberry biscuit was and
| is dainty that is too good for any save
| very honest folks
| Add a cup of bueberries to the ordinary
baking powder tea biscuit, made from
| quart of flour, three heaping teaspoonfuls
| of baking powder. a large teaspoonful of
| butter and two scant cups of sweet milk
| Make the biscuit as soft as possible and
| with as little handling and bake in quick
| oven.
These are delicious for luncheon or tea.
| The berries should be washed, dried and
rolled in flour before adding them to the
| dough.
| Equally delightful puffs and mullins suit
ed to breakfast or tea may be made with
| huckleberries the prime factor
To make graham huckleberry puffs beat
the yolk of a large egg. Add to 1t half
mixing thoroughly. Beat in gradually three
| fourths cupfu wheat flour, a cup and
| half of graham -four, one cup ice cold milk
| or water, and one-half cupful washed and
foamy fold in the stff1y beaten white of
| the egg. Have the muffin irons hot fill
about third full of the batter and bake
in hot oven for ABOUT twenty minutes.
Another way of using the berry is in pan
cakes. Sour milk is best for them although
sweet milk and baking powder will answer
1t is a good idea to make the batter of
flour and sour mix in the evening: let it
stand over night. adding the soda. berries,
salt and eggs if you use them, in the morn
ing. To make them, sift together two cup
fuls sifted flour and two scant cups of
sour milk: beat well In the morning stir
in one teaspoonful of soda. tea spoonful
of salt, two cupfuls huckleberries dredged
with -four, and the yolks of two well-beaten
eggs. If the batter seems too thin add a
| little more -four and fold in the stifly beaten
whites. Bake on hot griddle well creased.
| These cakes may be made without eggs,
and will be the more tender.
And a real old-fashioned Indian
huckleberry pudding, such as you rarely
| find outside New England. Mix together
| two quarts of warm milk three ourths Cup
| finely chopped suet, two tablespoons mo-
| lasses, half teaspoonful of soda. a tea
| spoon of salt and enough Indian meal to
| make a stiff batter. Add at the last two
eggs whites and Yolks beaten separately.
and a quart of huckleberries dredged with
| flour. Boil for two and one-half hours in a
| buttered bag mold, never allowing the
| water to stop boiling, and serve hot with
| foamy sauce.
Huckleberries would make a delicate and
| nourishing dessert for an invalid. Cook the
huckleberres with n little water until the
| skins are 'mushy.'' Strain. sweeten to
| taste thcken with a little -four or corn
| starch turn into a mold and set away on
| the ice to harden. Serve with whipped
| cream if cream is allowed. though it is
| very palatable without any sauce.
Blackberry mold is made in the same way
| for an invalid. only the blackberries need
not be strained.
| Burberry ice cream is another treat at
! this season. To make 1t, use one quart of
| cream, one cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful
| vanilla, extract. and one quart of fine ripe
| blueberres. Freeze the cream for fifteen or
|
| in the berries. Pack and let 1t stand an
| hour or more before serving.
If all women starting on journey realized
| that the porter was held responsible for
| each shortage in sheets, pillow cases and
| towels there would not be so large a denclt
| in his monthly pay. Last month was the
| first time in two years that l received my
! full pay" said a Pullman porter recently
| during a transcontinental trip. L spose
| women think they're beating the railroad
| company when they walk off with the tow
| els, but every cent of 1t comes out OF the
| porter's wages, and when he only gets S2o a
| month that seems a good deal to lose.
| A pretty garnish to use with hsh is mace
| by slcing a lemon crosswise in very thin
| slices, then powdering each piece with
| fine-cut parsley.
This is not a pleasant theme to touch
| upon, but much may be forgiven to one
| who has recently passed the trying ordeal
| of having rat die under the floor. Search
| for the inconsiderate rodent was unava1l-
| ing for several hours, and 1t seemed as
| if the whole house would have to be torn
| down to find the malodrOus cause OF our
| woe. Wait" said an Englishman, who
| happened in, until l go to the butchers
| and get some blue-bottle flies, then III
| locate the beast for YOU we waited: In
| an hour he back with three or four
| flies in bottle. These he liberated in the
room, having first taken the precaution to
| close doors and windows. In few mo-
| mentS the lies settled down IN one spot on
| the floor. Take up that board, said the
Briton, "and you'll find your rat" The
board was lifted, and there sure enough
was the long sought rat.
| She was woman who knew how to
| turn herself in an emergency. They We're
| going to have a shortcake for dinner, and
! there We're invited guests. The berries
| did not come until about half an hour
! before dinner, and full half of them were
| crushed and spoiled. She thought mo-
ment, and went on stirring up plain cake
| batter. What are you going to do?' l
| asked, for as soon the cake went into
| the oven she was stirring up a cream
flling of flour, milk, eggs and favoring.
| The cakes were baked the cream was
| cooked, cooled and spread between the
| layers, layer of the good berries crowned
the whole. pitcher of thick country
| cream passed with each slice of moist,
| delicate fruited cake made a delicious
| dessert out of what most of us might have
| deemed failure.
