Potted Meats.
Boil the meat and let it cool in
the liquor in which it was boiled.
Then mince it fine, rejecting all fat
and gristle. Pound this meat with
a heavy vegetable masher till it is
paste. If the meat is tongue, sea-
son it with a teaspoonfuI of salt,
pepper and little pinch of cayenne.
The amount of salt used will depend
upon whether it is smoked or fresh
tongue. If it is a smoked tongue,
no salt will be needed, only the
pinch of cayenne. Measure the
pounded meat, and to every cupful
add a teaspoonful Of butter and
tablespoonful of mustard, mixed to a
paste with little vinegar. Blend
all the ingredients together by mix
ing or pounding them still further.
Then pack the meat in earthen jars
with straight sides. The meat
should be put in as compactly as
possible, being pounded in place to
make it firm. When the paste is
put in the jars, leave about half az
inch of space at the top. Cover the
jars and put them in pan of boil
ing water, and then let them cook
in this way for half an hour Turn
the meat out Of the jar and slice it

slices when it is cold.

1t is a blight on the fair name of
woman that some should have such
slanderous tongues, and it behooves
our sex to be up and doing, to work

evil is to keep the brain well stored
with the thoughts of good deeds;
draw inspiration from high-minded
writer's of prose and poetry, keep
well posted on leading current topics
and, above all, avoid petty malice
and envy.
Look at the many brilliant and
noble women who have made names
for themselves, and are such an hon

To Renew Velvet.


Velvet can be made to look like
new by this process: Let the fire
in the cookstove get very low, take
large cloth, wiring it out of cold
water and spread over top of stove,
then spread the velvet out upon
this, brushing it very briskly with
whisk-broom. The steam and
brushing cause the nap to rise and
the velvet looks as fresh as when
brought from the shop.
Cleaning Blankets.
1t is most necessary to have a fine
day for washing blankets, in order
that they may be hung in the air
as soon as they are rinsed. It is a
mistake to dry blankets indoors.
They are best when dried in a gen
tie wind. They should not be
rubbed and soap should never be
used on them The best way of deal
ing with them is to have a good tub
full of warm water-just warm
enough to feel pleasant to the hands
and make it into a good 1ather by
melting in it one cup of soap jelly
made without soda. Put the blank
ct in this and let it soak a few min
utes, while a second tub, like the
first, is prepared. Move the blanket
up and down in the suds and
squeeze and press it against the
sides; then put it in the second tub
and place another blanket to soak
in the first tub. Squeeze the blank
ct in the second water, and when it
looks clean, rinse in clear warm
f1,I 70
well out. Each lather will perhaps
serve for two or three blankets, but
1t is most important that the water
be clean. The good color of blank
cts depends very much on the clean
Illness of the water in which they
are washed. Do not wiring the
blanket tightly; to do so would spoil
the nap. Shake well, then hang
singly and quite straight on the
line, and shake and pull the blank
cts several times while drying to
raise the nap. After being thor
oughly dried out of doors, let them
be turned about for some hours be-
fore good fire indoors to air them.
Keeping Old Brass and Plate in Or

Inc lucky poSseSsOr of a genuine
old bit of brass, or a real Sheffield
plate candlestick through whose sill
yer coat the mellow copper CLEANS

clean the antique without injuring it.
Tarnished brass or copper may be

sweet oil. Use three-fourts of a
