Some Time Savers and Helps for
the Busy Cook.

II you have no fish kettle tie the fisn
in a piece of coarse muslin before
cooking it, SO that there may be no
delay in lifting it out when done. Rub
it slightly with vinegar or add a little
Ito the boiling water. as it whitens the
fish and makes it firmer.
Small mustard tins make good spice
boxes If neat label is placed on the
front of each tin. An earthen pan Is
the best receptacle for keeping bread
fresh, but if this cannot be obtained
large tin with a good lid makes a
capital substitute.
For the cutter which is used for
stamping out rounds of pastry use lids
of tins, tops of tumblers or wine
glasses. A good set of weights and
scales should find a place in every
kitchen. Quantities may sometimes be
guessed pretty accurately, but there

Air the Linen.

With regard to the airing of house
hold linen, it is impossible to be too
careful at this season of the year.
The clothes on the return from the
laundry should, without fail, be un-
folded and hung on clothes-horse in
the kitchen for night before being put
away, while linen which has been
put away for some time should like
wise be aired in front of the fire be
fore being worn again. Sheets and
pillow cases., although kept in hot
air cupboard, should invariably be
properly aired before being put on the
beds, as the heat of the cupboard is
apt to be moist, and the closely fold
ed sheets hold the damp. Careful air
ing preserves the linen itself, and pre-
vents spots and mildew on the sheets.

health point of view.
