Her Secret.

We occasionally meet a woman
whose old age is as beautiful as the
bloom of youth. We wonder how it
has come about-what her secret is.
H ere are few of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagreeab1e
things.
She kept her nerves we'll in hand
and inflicted them on no one.
She mastered the art of saying pleas
ant things.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work came to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions and did
not believe all the world wicked and
unkind.
She relieved the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sorrowfu1
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discourag-
ed.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has come to her and there is a halo
of white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered This is the Sc
cret of long life and happy one.

Original and Selected Recipes.

Chicken Pies.-Cut cooked chicken
into small pieces and re-heat in a
milk frlcassee sauce, highly seasoned
with butter, pepper, salt and parsley;
place in individual dishes; cover with
one-fourth-inch thick baking powder
biscuit crust and bake until a delicate
brown. Serve in small dishes.
Baked Bananas.-Remove one-fourth
Of skin Of bananas. Bake in oven till
skins are disco1ored and pulp soft. Re-
move from skins and pour over them
sauce made of melted currant jelly,
to which has been added piece of
butter and grating of nutmeg.
Hot Cakes.-Very good and quickly
made hot cakes are prepared by beat
ing one egg very light, stirring in a
cupful of flour, half a cupful Of milk
and two tablespoonfu1s of sugar, beat
ing them brisk1y till light and then
stirring in quickly a good teaspoonful
OF baking powder. Bake in muffin
tins for twenty minutes in a quick
oven. This will be enough for half
dozen mullins.
Egg Ro1ls.-Two cups flour, one lev
e. teaspoon salt, two level teaspoons
baking powder, two level tablespoons
lard, two level tablespoons butter, one
egg, one-ha1f cup milk.
Sift together the -four, salt, and bak-
ing powder, work in the shortening
with the fingers. Add the egg well
beaten and mixed with the milk. Mix
well, toss on to a foured board and
knead lightly. Roll out and cut in two
inch squares. Place a half inch apart
in buttered pan. Cash the center
of each with a sharp knife. Brush
over with sugar and water, and bake
fifteen minutes in a hot oven.
Orange Marmalade. Slice very thin,
rlnd and all, three large seedless or
anges and one lemon. Pour over the
sliced fruit eleven tumb1ers of cold wa
ter, and set away for twenty-five hours.
Then boil slowly for one hour. After
boiling, add four pounds of granu1ated
sugar and set away for twenty-four
hours longer, then boil for one hour
and twenty minutes, or perhaps a lit
tie longer. Pour into jelly glasses.
This amount will fill eight jelly glasses.
Cover with parafine The total cost
Of the marma1ade is not more than Is
cents, glasses included

A Kitchen Club.

If few women who live far in the
country and were anxious to gain a
little time over and above that taken
for housework would found kitchen
club they might accomplish a great
deal. They could meet at each other S
home once a week during work hours,
all taking some work to do. They
would discover which one of them
could do certain work the quickest
and best, then by exchanging this work
they would each help the other while
fastening her own duties.
For instance, suppose Mrs. A was
able to iron collars very we'll and very
fast, and Mrs. B made pie crust bet
ter and quicker than anyone else could,
and Mrs D mended stockings faster,
while Mrs. E could scour tins and sill
yer with most celebrity. Isn't it PLAIN
that they could be of material assist
'ance by dividing their work?

Renovating a Floor.

If you have an old floor full Of
cracks but cannot afford a carpet to
cover it. try this way of fixing it and
you will be pleased. First cut, brush
and punch all dirt from the cracks,
next give the floor a thorough wash
ing with hot soap-suds. Let it dry
thoroughly before giving the floor a
coat of ready-mixed cream paint. Dry
for "a hours and then fill all cracks
with patent filler (there are several
kinds on the market). Wipe up all
crumbs of the patent filler and give
another coat Of the cream paint Dry
for "a hours and stain with an oak oil
stain. When this is dry give a coat
Of varnish and you will have a hand
some imitation of a hardwood floor

In Making Fruit Cakes-The tops of
fruit tarts should be pricked with a
fork before baking, in order to keep,
symmetrical shape.
Removing Paint-stains-Turpentine
is excellent for this purpose, but a
homely aid is hot vinegar, which will
answer the requirement, and is always
near at hand.
To Prevent In From Corroding.-
A good way to obviate the un-
pleasant effect of certain kinds of ink
on pens is to keep several old nails or
tacks in the ink bottle.
In Washing Curtains.-Add an
ounce of gum arabic, dissolved and
strained, to gallon of starch water
when washing curtains. This gives
crispness to the curtains quite like the
dressing they have when purchased.
To Prevent Rust on Tinware.-Be
fore using tin pot lids rub them all
over with fresh lard and heat thor
oughly. Any new tin treated in this
way will never rust, no matter how
much it is put in water, also the steam,
when cooking, will not affect the lids.
Do Not Keep Turpentine in Warm
Room-I am told that turpentine
sometimes exp1odes if kept in warm
place. 1t is we'll to be careful, there
fore, and put it away in safe, cool
place where it will have no inducement
to fly out of it's confines.
Doughnuts.-Fors sourmilk doughnuts,
take two eggs, we'll beaten, one cup su-
gar, one cup sour milk, a half teaspoon
each of salt, cinnamon and grated nut
meg, teaspoon each of soda and cream
tarter, one tablespoon melted butter,
and flour to make a dough as soft as
can be handled, roll out, fry in hot
fat.
Buttermi1k Bread.-Take one and
one-fourth pint of fresh, sweet butter
milk, two heaping teaspoons sugar, one
teaspoon heaping of salt, one-half cake
yeast, enough flour to make a rather
stiff batter. Scald one-ha1f pint of sift-
ed flour with the buttermilk, boiling hot,
then add sugar and salt, dissolve the
yeast in little tepid water, and add
to the sponge when it is milk-warm.
In the morning it should be very light
In mixing the dough, sift six pints
-four, one teaspoon of salt, and add
one tablespoon lard, one-half teaspoon
soda. Knead fifteen minutes into a
smooth dough. When light, mould
into 1oaves, and when risen again
bake in moderate oven one hour.

Soft Soap.

To make 5 gallons, take II bars
Of white soap and shave it finely. Put
it in 2 gallons of water (sofD on the
stove, and let it dissolve. Add 1-2
pound of pulverized borax, I-2 ounce
of glycerin and I'd ounce of oil of ce-
oar. Let all dissolve, then set it off;
add 3 gallons Of water; when cold it
is ready for use This soap will not
fade colors that water will not affect.
Apply the soap to the soiled parts of
a garment and let it lie few moments ;,
then make suds of warm water and
soap and wash in the usual way.

When Boiling Puddings always
place a bit of stick in the bottom
Of saucepan when boiling custard or
any sort of pudding containing milk
to keep it from burning. This is why
stick cinnamon is excellent for flavor
ing custard, as it serves double pur-
pose.
