About the House

For Shredding Lettuce-Scissors will be found much more convenient for shred ding lettuce than a knife. The work, too, will be more quickly accomplished.
 Baking Biscuits-In baking biscuits have the oven quite hot at first. but lower the temperature 8 little before the bis- cults are ready to be taken from the oven. This will add materially in mak- ing the biscuits light.
 Oyster Cocktails in Grape Eruit-Oyster cocktails are sometimes served in small grape fruit shells, or in pepper shells. The effect is decidedly pleasing.
 Heat for Cake Baking-In testing the oven for cake baking remember that a greater heat is required for a cake baked in layers than in a single loaf.
 For Dreaming Butter-For creaming butter or butter and sugar a perforated spoon will be found moro satisfactory than a fork or the hand.
 Safety Pin Holders of Silver-Among the novelties in silver are small stand ards with three arms specially designed for holding safety pins of various sizes.

Invincible

An life, thou mighty warrior,
 Thinkest thou that with the noon shall fling my colors down,
 And quit the field so soon? Let not thy brow be poised to meet
 The laurels, showing thou hast won; The seige is at it's thickest now,
 The telling combat just begun, For till the eve and into night
 Thou must face my stubborn will, And cen though Tagged the morning light Shall give me strength to battle still. Though oft my blows dent not thy crust, Rebounding I shall strike again. And not till God doth cease the strife, Canst thou say I have fought in vain. Yea, even then my soul shall win
 A glory which can neer be thine, For life is only of the flesh.
 While death shall bear this soul of mine
 On snowy wings to God

A BOILED SALAD DRESSING.
 It is an excellent plan to have a boiled salad dressing as change from the French dressing or mayonnaise. One that will keep for many days if put in @ self sealing jar and stood in a cool place is this:
 Thoroughly blend three teaspoonfuls of mustard, a pinch of red pepper. four tablespoonfuls of sugar and a teaspoon full of salt then stir these ingredients into two eggs well beaten. Next add one- half cupful of oil. Take a large heaping tablespoonful of flour and stir it until smooth in cup of milk. Add to the other ingredients. Put cupful of vinegar on the stove and when 1t boils stir the mix ture of all other ingredients into it. Stir until the dressing is the consistency of thick cream. If cooked too long it may separate.

iWitchcraft in India

The belief in witchcraft is still fast rooted in parts of India, and the unfor- tunate persons suspected of the black art are not uncommonly done to death.
 In Bengal last year several cases of the kind came before the courts. In the Con- thai Parganahs woman was murdered by her mother and brother, who believed her to be witch.
 Tn Palamau a man was killed, as the village held that he was a wizard In another case two women were murdered on the bare suspicion that they had caused the death of three children by cholera. Human sacrifice also is still practiced among the unciviized tribes of Bengal.
 In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a girl as a propitiary offering against cholera, and in Paiamau a boy was enticed into the jungle and killed as a sacrifice There can be little doubt that any relaxation of vigilance would result in serious in- crease of witch killing and human sacri- flee.
