DISHFOR BREAKFAST
FRIED BREAD A SPLENDID ADD.
TIoN TO MENU.
New York Newspaper 5emoans Fact
That This DeIicacy Is Compare
lively Unknown in the North
Cuban "OyaIda."

Visitors to New Orleans never fail
TO retain the most pleasant recollec-
tions of the hours spent at the old
French market, aad among these mem
ories few are recalled with more genI-
Inc delight than those which bring
back the scene Of some quaint old cof-
fee stall. with its great. thick cups Of
strong black coffee and its invariable
accompaniment. a plate heaped high
with that greatest Of all attractions
fried bread, says the New York
Times.
1t is rather strange. in view Of the
fact that fried bread is eaten with
such gusto in New Orleans, that it
does not appear more frequently upon
the breakfast tables in the north. Com
paratively easy to make and a most
deleCtable change from the ordinary
round Of rolls, toast and biscuits, IL
would appear as though the energetic
housewife who is always on the look
out for novelties OF a culinary char
acter should be only too glad to take
advantage Of this opportunity to break
the monotOny Of her morning menu.
And if you don't believe that it is
good-this fried bread of the French
market coffee stals-just try it some
morning when you have mixed bread
and still some dough on hand. That
is to say, instead of molding this
dough into the form of biscuits. to be
baked in the oven, shape it into oblong
pieces about the shape of the regula-
tion French roll and then drop them
into deep fat, to fry to that attractive
bFown tint that is recognized as the
proper hue for dOughnuts. Served with
coffee and plenty Of fragrant butter
they will prove a delight TO the heart
Of the most morose of pessimists until
life to him will seem actually worth
living
Still another delectable breakfast
bread is the "oyalda," or fried bread
that is so invariable a part of every
mornings repast in Cuba To make
this bread mix two cupfuls of -four
with the well-beaten yOlks Of two eggs
and generous tablespoonful of lard
Salt the mixture a little and stir the
ingredients together thoroughly. When
We'll mixed, add enough water to make
a dough, but keep working it over and
over until it shows by its texture that
it is extremely light. When this re
suit has been secured, roll the dough
very thin, and, having cut it into small
cakes, either round, square or oblOng
In shape, fry them in deep fat. Serve
them as hot as possible, sprinkling
them, if desired, with powdered sugar.

TO REMOVE STAINS
PREPARATIONS FOR THE MOST
OBSTINATE CASES.
To Furbish soiled Woodwork-CIean-
ing the Bathtub-Greasy Sink
Treatment for Creaking Door
HINGES.


Pour kerosene on the soiled wood
work and let it stand for an hour or
more TO soften the dirt; then wash
with soap and warm water and wipe
dry.
Next rub on a mixture of kerosene
and turpentine-one-third turpentine
and two-thirds oil Polish with soft
old flannel Let it rest for an hour
or two; then polish with soft linen.
If the surface is very dull. dirty and
scratched. instead OF washing with
soap and water, add more oil and
sprinkle powdered rottenstone over it.
Rub gently and regularly, first with
circular motion and then with the
grain of the wood When the surface
is smooth and bright, rub off the rot
tenstone and finish as you would after
washing with soap and water
To clean the bathtub, first dry ii,
then rub the stains with a piece of
flannel dipped in kerosene. Ii the
stains are very obstinate, scour them
with a flannel we'll moistened with
kerosene; then sprinkle them with
salt. After the bath has been cIeansed,
remove all traces of kerosene by wash
ing it thoroughly with hot water and
soap.
If the sink gets greasy, a little kerO-
sene we'll rubbed in will make it beau
tifully clean.
Zinc buckets and tins, if cleaned
with kerosene, will look as good as
new.
Kerosene is also used to dissolve
grease that has hardened on the metal
work of mangles and wringing ma
chimes The metal work should be
oiled with the kerosene and the ma
chine worked for a minute or two I'M
til the grease becomes liquid, which
should then be wiped off with an old
duster.
Kerosene is employed for the re-
mOval of paint stains. The stain, if
on colOred clothes, must be dipped in
the coal oil and rubbed between the
hands, then washed in soapy water.
If the stain is on a white garment
it should be treated as for kerosene
washing. If after boiling any trace
of stain is left it can be removed by
washing and rubbing in soap and
water
Creaking door hinges should be
rubbed with feather dipped in kero-
sene. This simple treatment will at
once stop the unpleasant, neTve-jarring
noise.
Grass stains on table linen yield to
kerosene.

WHEN PUTTING AWAY CLOTHES
Proper Ways to Pack and Avoid
Formation of Creases.

Never fold trousers into less than d
third of their length as it ruins the
shape.
For a neat fold place the two in
nermost buttons on the top of each
other, when the trousers will lie natur-
ally of themselves. Double from the
legs upwards. and if then too long
for the space in trunk or in suit case,
fold the legs in two outwards, never
inWaTds.
Always turn up the collars of coats
before folding. This avoids ugly creas
ing.
Lay the coat lining downwards, and
fold the sleeves in two towards the
shoulder. Then fold the coat in two,
shoulder to shoulder. Make a dent at
each armpit, and double once more
from base to collar this time
If packing a frock coat repeat the
same process, folding the garment
over from lapels downwards over the
sleeves before doubling the first time,
and the tails up towards the collar
before putting in the last fold.

opium called "yenshee" and there
flashed therefrom gigantic red spid
