When powdered sugar gets hard,

In department store man is apt
to buy the first article shown to him
a woman the last; but it takes her
long time to decide which shall be
the last.
To thicken gravies for pot roasts or
stews, put a piece of brown bread in

the gravy rub it up for the thickenlng.
Be careful not to fill the kerosene

Never leave a trunk lid raised when
there are children about. They are
naturally inclined to investigate
things, and leaning against the trunk
to look in may bring the lid down

Comfort in a cold country house can
be gotten from a small log Of hard
wood which is slowly heated for some
hours in the cook-stove oven, and then
slipped into a bag of heavy cotton
flannel. 1t has very pleasant fra

There are candies sold in the form
of cigarettes, in boxes in imitation Of
those the real articles are in. l do
hate to see little five and six-year-old
lads with these in their mouths pre-
tending to smoke them. Couldn't you
discourage the habN of buying such
candies, mothers? When the demand
ceases, they will not be made.
Apple butter is made with new I'm
fermented cider. Fill preserving
kettle with fresh cider and boil it
down one-half. Repeat this until you
have the desired quantity. 1t is well
to do this the day before making the
apple butter. To every four gallons
of boiled cider allow half-bushel of
nice, juicy apples, pared, cored and
quartered. Nearly fill large kettle
with cider and put in as many apples
as it will cover. Stir it often, and
when the apples are soft stir it con-
tinuously until they are a pulp. Cook
and stir until the butter is dark brown
and as thick as marmalade. Add
boiled cider If it becomes too thick;
and apples, if too thin. It requires no
sugar Spices can be added if liked
but we think it better without them.
When cold put in stone jars and
cover; it is not necessary to seal
them-Farm Journal.
