A VERY GOOD TAPIOCA PUDDING.

Boil a pint and a half of milk with three ounces of sugar and a piece of butter the size of an egg. Directly it boils, drop gradually in three ounces of. tapioca; stir it continually for flvo minutes to avoid its forming into lumps. Draw the stewpan on one side, a net let it simmer for fifteen minutes. Pour the mixture into a basin, add to it a handful of stoned raisins, the grated rind of a small lemon, one and a. half ounces of candied orange and

lemon peel (sliced thin), one whole egg, and three volks. Mix the whole well' Rent the throe egg-whites to a stiff froth, add them very gently to the other mixture. Pour tho white into a. buttered mould, sprinkled with powdered sugar Set the dish in a larger nr.c, half-filled with water, and cook for 45 minutes. Serve with sweet sauce BEETROOT AND ONION. Those make a very uieo vegetable toent with roast beef or roast mutton. Well boil the beet and remove the outside skin. Serve in a dish with a boiled Spanish onion ; sprinkle with salt and pepjier, and pour a little of the gravy from the mint over. * • • • TASTY. Take some good sound cheese, cut or stamp it into rounds, not too thin. Sprinkle them with salt and cayenne pepper. Egg and bread-crumbs the cheese twice, and fry it a golden brown m boiling fat. drain well, and serve on fancy paper. A slice should be used to remove the cheese from the pan so as not to disturb the ertimbs. FARLEY SUGAR FOR THE YOUNGSTERS. Clarify 7 as much sugar as required until it will on being touched, break with a. slight nmse, which is called “crack.” When the sugar is nearing this, put in a teaspoonful of lemon juice to prevent it graining. When it comes to the “crack,” remove it instantly. and clip tho pan into cold .vater to prevent it burning. Allow it to stand a few 7 minutes, then pour it upon a marble slab that has been oiled. Cut the sugar into small pieces and twist It will then be ready for use. A. GARDEN HINT. Instead of throwing away old worsted ‘■'Ochs and •.tocking®, cut out the best parts, unravel tlie wool, wind into balls, and put away for use in the garden. You will find the worsted very handy for stretching across your flower and vegetable beds to prevent the birds getting at the scxl when just appearing above the ground. It is also good for wrapping round the stalks of flower-., and attaching to sticks for temporary training, especially for sweet peas: the worsted, being rough, allows the runner to cling better. I have done this for seveial seasons, anil find it cheaper than buying string or cotton. 11 AIR-BRUSHES.

To prevent tlie bristles of hairbrushes getting soft when wadicd. rinse in niilk-and-water -an equal quantity of each before putting to drv before tlie fire, or in the sun. Tho bristles will be as stiff as when tho brush was new.
