CODES OF THE KITCHEN.
Many of the Rules That Govern Cooks
Are the OutErOvvth of
SuperstitiOnS.

"Take good lump of fresh butter and
roll it in flour, place it in lined sauce
pan with half pint OF good, rich cream,
stir it gently over low fire, always the
same way. till it begins to simmer"
This recipe for the making OF melted
butter is quoted from an old-fashioned
cookery book Of a century ago. but the
direction to stir always the same way"
is observed as religiously to-day as it
was then, and probably will be for q
thousand years to come, says the Bos-
ton Journal. ALI cooks of all nations
stir not only the same way, but also
from east to west, sure indication
that the practice originated with sun
worshipers.
Speaking of stirring brings to mind
that in most misunderstanding ones,
at least-the practice of the whole fam
lily joining to stir the Christmas plum
pudding is still in vogue. There are
many peculiar old-fashioned supersti-
tions connected with cooking. For in
stance, in Scotland, when oat cakes are
being baked, it is still customary to
break off little piece and throw it into
the fire. At one time, whenever ball-
ing was made-which was, perhaps,
once month only-a cake was made
with nine knobs on it. Each of the
company broke one off, and, throwing
it behind him, said: This I give to
thee; preserve thou my Sheep" men,
tioning the names of noxious animal
fox, wolf or eagle.
A roast pheasant is usually sent up
with the tail feathers. This practice is
a memorial of the days when peacock
was skinned before roasting, and when
cooked was sewn in its plumage again,
its beak gilded and SO served. Tossing
the pancake is another interesting food
superstition. Formerly the master of
the house was always called upon to
toss the Shrove Tuesday pancake.
Usually he did it so clumsily that the
contents of the pan found their way to
the floor, when fine was demanded
by the cook. The custom is still kept
up at Westminster school, where pam
bled for. The one who secures it is re-
warded with a guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot cross
buns is matter of dispute. There is
little doubt that cakes partly divided
into four quarters were made long be-
fore the Christian era. At one time it
was believed that bread baked on Good
Friday would never grow moldy, and
a piece of it grated was kept in every
house, being supposed to be sover.

USING UP OLD SHOES.
Thrifty Housewife Makes Service.
able Floor Rugs of the Worn
Leather.

The thrifty housewife has discovered
a new use for old shoes. She makes
rugs out Of them, says the Washington
Star.
For this purpose she saves all her
old shoes-her husbands, the chill
dren's and her own. Even though the
soles, toes and back seams are worn
beyond redemption, that does not mat
ter, as only the uppers are Of use in
making rugs.
AS fast as the shoes are discarded,
it will be good plan to cut the tops
off, and after cleaning them lay them
carefully away in a box for future use.
The unders may then be thrown away
to avoid unnecessary accumulation.
The first step is to cut a pattern
diamond, star. square. oblong or right
angle triangle. If the latter is desired,
it should measure four inches along
the straight sides. Two triangles can
be cut from each shoe top. To make
a rug 22x36 inches will require the up-
pers from 1S pairs of shoes.
For the center of the rug purchase
piece Of leather about IA inches
square from the .cobbler or harness
maker. On this outline the words,
what Is Home Without a Rug!''
three words to the top line. one to the
second and the remaining two to the
last line. Then proceed to cut out the
letters. 1t win be a good plan to
draw the letters on paper, basting this
guide down to the leather and cutting
through both the paper and leathes
with sharp knife. Care must be
taken to leave Sits of the leather un.
cut at intervals, or. nothing except q
hole will be left when the cutting Is
{ finished.
To lace the leather together pur.
