HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When pouring out tea one sometimes
is annoyed to find the tea will run
down the spout. To prevent this rub
a little butter round the outside OF the
spout.
When thin tumblers stick together,
and there is danger of breaking them,
do not try to pull them apart, but put
them into a pan of warm suds. In a
short time they can BE easily sepa-

If housewives who dislike to find
worms when cutting apples would Arst

find that the worms would leave the
apples and come to the surface of the
water.
A wire basket, known as a salad
shaker, or drainer, is used to dry
greens after they have been thorough
" washed. The leaves of lettuce often
hold the water, even after a good
shaking. Each leaf should be wiped
off with a piece Of cheesecloth. If not
thoroughly dry the dressing will not
be evenly distributed.

spoonfuls of butter, one cupful Of
sweet cider and salt and mace to
taste. Have a good pie crust for an
upper crust. Put a layer Of pork
within a pudding dish; season with
pepper. salt, nutmeg or mace. Next
a layer of sliced apples. strewed with
sugar and bits of butter. Go on in this
order until you are ready for the crust,
having the last layer Of apples. Pour
in the cider. cover with a thick crust
of good pastry, Ornamented around the
edge: make a slit in the middle, and
bake in a moderate oven one hour and
a half. Should the crust threaten to
brown too fast cover with paper.

SnotIess Dish towels

None but the sloyenly housekeeper
Is content to wash her dish towels but
once a day or even less often. Such
treatment soon shows in a line full of
cloths that look as if they had been
used to scrub the coal bin or a greasy
aOOT-
The tri-daily washing may be quickly
done if the dishpan is filled with boil
ing water in which a little bOraX is dis
solved and the towels are allowed to
soak for five minutes OF more while
the dishes are being put away.
Rinse in several waters and always
dry in the air and sunlight, instead Of
on the line behind the range, as is the
way with many.

Excellent LIniment.

A good liniment that is helpful in
sudden colds when put. on hot is com
posed of "a grains OF camphor, pow
deTed into a quarter of a pint Of tur-
pentine, to which is added 10 grains OF
almond oil.
If you do not have the oil, vaseline
or lard can be substituted, using about
two tablespoonfuls to this amount
Be careful in the heating, as this
mixture is most infiammable. 1t is
well to heat but a little at a time and
put it in so deep a pan that it will not
splatter over the sides.
Apply very hot, rub in well and
cover with flannel.
Be careful about going into the cold
after using any liniment, as the pores
are open and one is more susceptible
to cold.

FRENCH MEAT ROLLS
ECONOMICAL USE OF ROUND
OF BEEFSTEAK.
Cooked with Bacon and a Slice al
Onion They Afford Welcome
Change in the Menu-To
Smoke Meat.

Economical ROast.-Put meat IN the
roaster with water in the pan; let
simmer on top of stove until tender,
then put in the oven for half hour
or three-quarters to brown. Just as
good as cooking in the oven all the
time.
To Cook Steak.-Beefsteak should
not be salted till done and when ready
to take from the skillet. 1t never
should be pounded nor prodded with
fork in turning, as that allows the
Juices to escape. A round steak,
spread over with a a-dressing the same
as used to stuff a fowl, then rolled and
tied with a cord and baked for an hour
is a nice meat service.
French Meat ROlls-Take a choice
round of beefsteak cut thin. Cut IN
six-inch squares. Place a slice OF
bacon on each square, add one slice
of onion, salt and pepper. Roll and tie
or sew them up. Lay them in fat
bottomed kettle, add half cup of wa
ter, butter the size of an egg, two bay
leaves and four cloves. Simmer slowly
for one hour
To Smoke Meat.-Ham or other
meat treated according to the follow
ing plan will be perfectly cured for
smoking without first having stood in
picking fluid or brine. Take ten
quarts of salt, one pound of pepper,
one pound of saltpeter and three
pounds of sugar. Dissolve saltpeter
in little hot water, and then mix all
the ingredients thoroughly together
and rub this mixture into the meat or
hams with the hand until every part
is well covered. The mixture must be
worked in around and under the cen
ter bone pushing well in with knife.
Then lay in a cool place for about two
weeks, but do not let it freeze. The
meat then is ready to smoke, and will
prove of excellent quality.

FOR A DAINTY SANDWICH.
Right Kind of Bread and Proper Knife
Are Essential.

The reason SO many persons think
dainty sandwiches are a nuisance to
make is that they have neither the
right kind of bread nor the proper
knives to cut il with.
When making sandwiches in quanti-
ties 1t is much better to have a long
square loaf with a perfectly even,
smooth crust The grain should also be
close, as the porous bread is more apt
to break.
Such a shape permits the slice to be
cut diagonally to make two tTiangles or
it can be divided into three strips for
OblOng sandwiches.
Some people cut OF the crusts be-
fore slicing the bread, but unless it is
a day old it is more apt to break than
if the crusts are not removed until
the sandwich has been made.
A long, thin knife blade kept very
sharp is essential if the edges of the
sandwich are to look clean cut. When
shaped cutters in the form of circles,
stars or cTescents are used, they
should never be allowed to get dull.
Always butter the bread before cut
ting it from the loaf Have butter
fresh and slightly soft so it spreads
quickly. Do not use too much of it,
but always put it on both slices of
bread
Fit slices evenly together. If the
square loaf is used this is an easy mat
ter; with an irregular loaf care is
needed to put opposite sides together
or there will be waste in shaping.
Should the sandwiches not be needed
for several hours after making, wrap
them in a damp towel and put them in
an alright box
Whatever the filing, do not stint it
and use plenty of seasoning, as a taste
less sandwich is far from appetizing.

Chicory Dishes in France.

A French woman who uses chicOry
more than lettuce for salads uses up
all the green tough parts that are
not tender enough for the table in a
puree. Her rule is this: Boil the
chicory until it is tender in salted
water and then press it through a
sieve. Make a sauce with a table
spoonful of butter, tablespoonful of
-four and two cupfuls of rich milk or
cream, add the chicory, bring to the
boiling point and serve. Spinach, Gel
cry or almost any vegetable at all
may be used in the same way.

USEFUL AND CHEAP PORTFOLIO.
Almost Indispensable Article That Can

One of the most convenient things
for a schoolgirl to have is a port
folio In no other way can she keep
her desk tidy or her odds and ends Of
miscellaneous papers in a place where
she can put her hands on them at a
minutes notice
OF course one can always buy them,
made of leather and beautifully mount
ed, but these are apt to be very ex-
pensive. One can easily be made at
home which will serve the purpose
anil be equally pretty.
Take two pieces Of thick cardboard
13 inches square, cover them on one
side with heavy tan linen; this can be
embroidered in coarse yellow silk Of
any design desirable and in several
shades. The other side of the card
board pieces should be covered with
yellow silken goods to match the
needIewOrk on the outside. The edges
where the linen and silk join should
be featherstitched in heavy twist Of
light shade of brown, then the two
pieces should be whipped together at
one side.
On one part Of the inside have two
oblOng pieces of linen five inches

have a piece of the same material the

Cheese and Nut Sandwiches

Instead of serving plain crackers
and cheese with the salad course, a de
liciOus substitute may be made by pre-
pairing tiny cheese and nut sandwiches.

of brown or whole wheat bread.
Spread lightly with butter and lay on
each slice a thin shaving of Gruyere
cheese.
Cover the cheese closely with fresh
Iy sheIled black walnuts sprinkled
with salt, then put another slice of
the cheese and buttered bread. Cut
the sandwiches either round or in
slightly between weights to blend them
we'll together.
