HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To remove rust on copper rub the
article with liquid ammonia
Never put salt in soup when cook
ing it until it is skinned. as salt pre-
vents the scum from rising.
The best housekeeper is the one
who passes less time in making things
clean and more thought in keeping
them clean as she goes.
Keep camphor in cupboaTds where
clothes are stored, for not only will it
keep away moths, but mice, which
dislike it exceedingly.
Parafin split on a stone floor may
be removed by rubbing bath brick over
the mark and letting it stay till next
day, then wash in the usual way and
the floor will be perfectly clean.
Paint can be removed from glass
by rubbing 1t with hot, strong vinegar
Stains on the hand can be removed by
acetic acid or salts of lemon and
ink marks will soon yield to pumice
stone
It is said that potatoes will bake in
much less time if the skins are creased
before putting them into the oven.
The skins will come of more easily
and will be as thin as when boiled.

Cold Potatoes ScaIloped.

Cut cold boiled or baked potatoes
into dice until you have a large cup
full Have ready an equally large cup
ful of rich drawn butter, into which
you have beaten the yOlks of two eggs
and a heaping tablespoonful of finely
grated cheese.
Put layer of potato dice in the bot
tom of a buttered dish; pepper and
salt TO taste. Some think it is i'm
proved by few drops of onion juice.
Cover with the sauce and go on in
this order until the materials are used
up. Sprinkle fine cracker crumbs and
CRATE cheese on top; stick bits of but

Lemon Sauce.-CD When used for
boiled fowls: Peel and seed a large
lemon and cut in small slices. Chop
fowls liver, which has been boiled
very fine; add it TO the lemon. with
half a pint Of melted butter. Serve in
a saucebOat 90 When used for fish:
Put a quarter of a pound of butter in
a saucepan; add the juice of a large
lemon, with pepper and salt to taste.
As IL heats, beat it constantly so that
1t may become thick and hot without
boiling. When cooked sufficiently. re-
move and add the beaten yolks of two
eggs. (3) A sweet lemon sauce for
puddings: Boil a pint OF water and
a cOffee-cupful of granuIated sugar to-
gether for five minutes; then add
three heaping teaspOonfuls of corn
starch that have previously been
mixed with cold water. Finally. add
both the grated rind and the juice of
a large lemon and a tablespoonful of
butter Cook until the butter has
melted; then serve.
Lemon Butter Sauce.-Put two table
spoonfuls Of powdered sugar and half
that quantity of corn-starch in sauce
pan; crate the rind of one lemon over
the top; then add half a pint of boil
ing water, the juice of the lemon and
a piece of butter about the size of a
hickory nut. When these ingredients
have blended thoroughly, add, little by
little, the beaten yolk of two eggs,
being careful to stir the mixture con
stanty during the minute or two that
1t must remain over the fire. Other
wise the eggs will be certain to curdle.
Lentil Sauce.-SOak the Ientils in
cold water about six hours. Drain
them and put them in saucepan with
some bones of ham. or a quarter of a
pound of salt pork; cover with water,
and season with bayleaf thyme, pars-
ley, chopped carrot and two onions
in which some cloves have previously
been thrust. When cooked sufficiently
remove the pork and discard the herbs
and onions, but mash the carrot
through colander with the LIQUID. If
too thick, add the necessary quantity
of good broth to thin; season with
pepper, salt and butter, and. when the
butter has melted, serve.

IN TIME OF PRESERVES.
Bsst Method of Putting Up Grapes
and Ounces.

AS this is the season when grapes
and ounces are plentiful, the fol-
lowing two recipes sound attractive.
Select large punches OF perfect
grapes. and with a silver fork prick
each one carefully; put them in pre-
serve Jars that have been thoroughly
cleansed, and stand them in a shallow
pan OF hot water so that they will not
cool Make a brandy sirup by cook
ing together three quarts Of wa-er
with seven pounds of sugar until ve-y
thick. remove from the FIRE and adj
an equal quantity of best brandy; re
heat and pour Immediately over the
grapes. seal and do not use for a
month or two. Of course. a small
er quantity can be made as an expert
ment.
Peel half peck of ounces and cut
in thick slices. dropping them in cold
water to prevent discoloration; then
drain well and add two pounds of
figs, sliced in quarters, and three
oranges cut into cubes; place in pre-
serving kettle and cover with cold
water cooking until the ounces are
soft Take out the fruit and from the
water in which they were cooked
make a sirup, allowing three pounds
OF granulated sugar and the white Of
one egg to every pint and a half Of
liquid. AS soon as the scum rises.
add a tablespoonful Of cold water;
skim until you have a very clear
heavy sirup, then return the fruit and
cook about five or ten minutes; pour
into jars and seal with air-tight covers.

The Attic Room

In cities the attic room is given as
much attention as any part of the
house. A clever arrangement of such
a room is to paper it all in white and
make a fancy border near the ceiling
outlined with a fancy wide paper. The
hunting scene is pretty if matched
with some red rug on the floor. Have
the furniture all white, the bed and
dresser trimmed in white and dotted
white curtains at the windows. Il can
be made very attractive with neat
furnishings and decidedly unattraetive
if not nicely papered or filled with
refuse furniture from other rooms.

Pin Cushion for the Machine.

When sewing on the machine o1e
often wastes a lot of time having TO
look for the pin cushion, which usual
y is under the sewing machine and
out of sight. a great time saver is to
cut an oblong piece of flannel two in
ches by four and at one end cut a hole
the size of pea Hem all four sides
of the flannel neatly, and buttonhole
stitch the hole Slip this over the
spindle where the spool belongs be-
fore the spool is placed on it. You
will be able to take pins out of your
work and stick them in this piece of
flannel without stopping the machine

WHEN CALLERS DROP IN.
Almond Waters Are Delicious to Have
in Readiness.

Beat to a cream a quarter cup but
ter, then rub in one-half cupful pow
dered sugar Add drop by drop a
quarter cupful milk, then, gradually,
seven-eighths' cup sifted -four. Flavor

pistache, and spread very ,thinly over
the bottom of an inverted dripping

Sprinkle with chopped blanched al
mOnds and brown delicately in a very
slow oven. Take from the oven, turn
the squares over one by one with a
knife, and roll loosely. Take up and
spread on a waxed paper to cool and
dry. If the squares harden before
you get them all rolled, place over
the fire minute to soften. Serve
with cocoa, afternoon tea, ice cream
or preserves.

two eggs, a cup of sugar, a piece of
butter the size of an egg and a heap
ing tablespoonful of corn starch made

Olive Oil on Bruises.

In the treatment Of bruises. where
there is extensive discoloTation of
the skin, if olive oil be applied freely
without rubbing, the discOloration
quickly will disappear. Absorbent
cotton may be soaked in the oil and
applied If the skin is broken a little
boric acid should be applied over
the abrasion. A black eye thus treat
ed can be rendered normal in a few
hours, especially if the oil be applied
warm.
