RAW EGGS.

When raw eggs are ordered for an

make as palatable as possible by hav-
ing the egg as cold as one can make it
and then serve # from cold glass as
soon as it is opened. OF course it is
useless to serve any save perfectly
fresh eggs.
If the white alone is to be taken it
should be beaten with whisk until
very stiff and frothy, then seasoned
with salt or sugar-whichever is pre-
ferred, and eaten with spoon.
Some who object to an egg beaten in
a glass Of milk, sweetened and favored,
can take the egg if the sugar is
omitted.-What to Eat.

Morning Post, who used to be con-

has recently let the secret out as to
how these titles were found. Every
morning there was an assembling of
the staff, and each member would
write on a slip Of paper his sugges-
ton for the days leader The slips
were collected in the Office top hat,
and after a discussion the most strik-
ing was selected. One day, as Mr.
Dunn tells, the selected slip contain
ed the words: Cant think of a title

appeared at the head of the leading
article.

TO CLEAN A CLOCK.

To clean clock, lay rag we'll sat
urated with kerosene oil in the bottom

this should be removed and another
saturated rag placed in the clock, the

In the case Of those popular cheap
nickel clocks that have long since es-
tablished themselves as favorites,
when the timekeeping begins to be
erratic it is very often caused by
want of cleaning. This may be quickly
remedied by the use of naphtha. The

works taken out and immersed in the

THE SCRAPS.

On a farm there are always hers,
pigs, or other animals, who Will eat the
scraps of every kind made in preparing
food for the table, and the left overs on
the plates after the meal is served, and
every careful housekeeper sees to it
that the scraps are made to save as
many purchases as possible of grain,
etc. In many village homes, where no
animals are kept, such refuse is
burned, or disposed of in some such
manner, and in city homes it is not
only wasted, but becomes an expense
to the city. For the city must pay for
the removal of garbage. In every COM
inunity there are persons who keep
few hens or large dog, who would be
glad Of such scraps and often a child
could keep pet dog, which the family
could not afford to feed, if kind hearted
neighbors donated bones and scraps.
Where some people are trying to earn
a little money by keeping a few hens
on small lot, he would very naturally
be glad to feed the scraps from his
neighbours table, for he would reap a
two-fold gain. Els income would be
increased in proportion to the decrease
in expense of feed, and the egg yield
would be much better, Oh account of
the variety of food thus provided. The
moral of this is, before you throw out
your scraps, see if they may not be of
material value to some one.-Inez Red
ding, in The Epitomist.

to the world Castoria, which as every
one knows is a pleasant and effective
remedy for the ailments of infants and
children. It has always been recognized
as a meritori9us preparation, and its
reward has been the greatest popularity
ever enjoyed by any remedy ever put up
on the market; attained. not by hamb0y-

vulgar prejudice, but by Inherent merit.
