 Fiowers, Magazines, and Scraps.
 . have wanted to wrlte to the dear Corner for a long time. for il is grand, just grand, Sometimes we hear from some one who desires change in the way the department is managed, but I don't really see how the bylaws could be improved. I have several beautiful roses
 
 from them for a pretty palm--the kind that grows tall and looks something like q little tree. I also have lots of good magazines any one may have who will pay postage on them. have scraps which could be made Into quilts any one is wei come to have, and I hope to help from time to time as T can. Here is good recipe for glaced fruits and nuts. Have the fruits perfectly dry and free from dust. If you are going to f;'ace oranges separate the carpels without breaking the inner skin; they must be perfectly dry White grapes must be cut SO that each will have a short piece of stem attached to the fruit. Put the nuts where they can be easily handled and have them free from loose particles. Set pound of sugar and three drops of lemon juice over the fire and stir until the sugar melts and is slightly straw colored. Take from the fire hold the pan in the left hand, put each piece of nut or fruit to be glaced on the candy dipper, and dip this into tine sirup. Turn each piece at once into small paper. cases. | can send othc recipes for poor candies ELSIE"
 This testimony to the merit of the Cor ner is gratifying. and I am glad to learn that some one thinks the bylaws could not be improved. 1 only wish that Il could make the offer of the flounce of which you speak, but unfortunately one of these same T bylaws precludes such an exchange as you wish to make. trust your other offers may be accepted, and am glad to have the candy recipe and the promise of more of the same kind Good recipes are always welcome.

 Several kinds of dolly holders have come my way. some more ornamental than others. The simplest form consists of squares of pasteboard, little larger than the dolics they are to hold, caught together by ribbons or cords. and openink like Q loose leaf book. The doilies are laid between the sheets of pasteboard and thus kept smooth. If the small finger bowl doilies are the only ones to be thus used the squares need not be large. but for plate doilies bigger pieces will be re

Cake and Doughnuts.

Cdfe and Doughnuts.
 Will you please tell me how to eat properly plain boiled potato? Hero is a recipe for watermelon e..lse: For the white part are required two cups of whte sugar. half cup of butter one cup of sweet milk. three ard half cups of flour. two teaspoons of baking powder, and whites of six eggs. For the red psrt are needed one cup of red sugar. half d cup of butter, half 9 cup of milk. whites of four eggs two cups of -four. one tea spoon of baking powder, and one teacup of seeded raisins. When the two batters are mixed grease pan with a tube in the middle, Put the red part of the batter around the tube then In alternate layers the red and white portions. This Is d delicious cake for those who can afford it. Another recipe which may be welcome Is for economy coughnuts. Here it is One cup of sugar. one cup of unskimmed milk, four teaspoons of baking powder if second rate or two teaspoons of first rate baking powder. salt. nutmeg, and flour enough to make a dough to roll out This recipe makes eighteen doushnuts.
 " AN OPTIMIsr D The only method l know of eating d plain boiled potato ia to cut 1t up or break 1t with a fork. put butter. salt, and pepper on it. and eat it as you would potato cooked by baking. is this the cor respondents meaning? I am little at u loss to understand just what she wishes to know. l am glad to have the recipes for the watermelon cake and for the doushnuts. The former would not be such an expensive luxury on farm where-butter and eggs were plentiful. | would like to know what is red sugar and where it is to be purchased. I should think that if one could not procure it it's place could be taken by white sugar, by using trifle of cochineal for coloriuK. one word also l wish to say about second rate baking powder. do not believe in using second rate preparations of any kind There are several first claas brands on tbe market put up by trusty manu. faoturers. and the housekeeper is far safer both as regards the success of her cooking and the health of her family if she uses only a product upon which shs can depend as first rate regret not Co give the remedies sent. but it Is against the rules of the department to recommend medicines of any kind. whether for cx ternal or internal use.

War taNes always are irritating" he
replied: some Of them should bc ahol-

stare people in the face rilc them. 1t
was never intended. for instance. that
the l-cent tax ON tclegrams and the
tax on ionE-distance telephone mes
saGcs should he paid by the public. In
the coming Congress a bill will be in
troduccd to place both these public
utilities under the Interstate Commerce
Commission. where they belong. and
compel them TO pay their taxes out of
their earnings instead Of passing the
load to the people.
One thing is assured: the Prcsi-
