THE" BEST KITCHEN UTENSILS.
English Paper Admits Superiority Of
~ 4, It,. German Methods.

: 5The superiority of German house
hold and kitchen utensils over English
ones is discussed by correspondent
who instances as a delightful exam
pie, the china or earthenware rolling
pin, which has superseded our print
tive wooden one. 1t is almost super
fluous to. point out that it is more
easily and thoroughly cleaned and is
cooler for pastry baking than is the
wooden rolling pin. If the well-to-do
English woman were to work in her
own kitchen she would surely never
tolerate such a thing as the ordinary
jug, always narrower at the top than
at}the base, and therefore impossible
to get clean, except with much unnec-
essary labor; she would invent a
soup spoon with: lip at the side; and
she would insist on everyday cup and
jug and vegetable dish, handles being
put on square, SO as not to harbor dirt.
