Among the numerous rhymes. this
one Is current in some Of the midland

"a sunshiny shower
Never last half an hour"
There is n popular fancy that rain
on Friday insures n wet Sunday. a

couplet:
"A rainy Friday. rainy Sunday;
A fair Friday, fair Sunday"
Another version Of THIS rhyme says:

In Norfolk II is commonly said:
''Rain afore clutch (churchl,

The best cooks use glaze TO Pre-.
vent the juice from spelling the under
crust Of a pie. This glaze is simply
the beaten white Of an egg, brushed
lightly over the crust before the filling
is put in. and if It Is also brushed over
the top ernst 1t will give an especially
nice yellow-brown bake.
Too much handling OF the ingre.
dlents will make the crust tough. Use
q knife to mix with and have every
thing chilled. II possible, use a glass
rolling pin filed with Clipped ice, and
avoid, as far as possible, putting the
hands to the dough. Lard and butter
in equal parts make the best crust, and
the best results must not be expected
II ordinary bread -four is used. Use
pastry flour and slft It twice; also use
as little water as possible. pouring 1t
in by drops, and be sparing OF salt.
Put plenty Of -four on the board to pre-.
vent sticking, and roll the crust only
one way-away from you.
Never put n hot filling into crust.
If the filling is to be cooked one, pre-.
pare 1t in advance and give it time to
get thoroughly cold before combining
1t with the dough. Cut three or four
Sits in the top crust to let the steam
escape and prevent undue putting.
Finally see that the oven is hot, so
that the pastry will not be scorched
or set before IT has had time to risc.---

way also. Our usual Gummer drouth,

those grown from sets, the same as the
cold may knock cabbage out Of bust

to grow again it goes TO seed.
