Grains of all kinds should be bought in small quantities, oUierwi.se tliey may get tiny insects in them. Oatmeal soon becomes stale and sour, so sliould bo purchased in small quantities and kept in a tin. Soap should bo nought in largo quantities, cut in pioeesj arranged on a shell, so that air can got to it. It will then dry and harden and waste much loss in the water. Dried fruit snould not be bought in large quantities unless in tae new Iruit season, and it should bo stored in jars. topiccs are best bought in. small quantities, as they soon loso flavour; they must be stond In airtight tins Ruin spots can be removed' tiv steaming the material. Thus is best done wuii a hut iron passed over a wot clorli laid on top oi the marked parts. Oddments ol nutmeg tied in a small piece of muslin, can lie used to give a nice flavour to soups or stews. Remove beloro serving. When beating , whites of eggs sot; that the beater is dry and clean. Add a pinch ol salt to rho whites; this manes them Irotii up very quickly. To remove hot water marks from a polished table make a thin paste of salt and salad oil. Lay this on too marks and leave there lor about one hour. Then rub well with a dry cluster. White paint can bo cleaned very quickly if, instead of soap or any other cleansing agent, a little ammonia is used in the water. Unsightly carpet stains may bo removed by an application of Fuller's earth, made into a paste with cold water to which a few drops of ammonia have been added. Rub the paste well into tho marks and leave to dry, when it can he brushed off’. ft an old fowl "is steamed for an hour previous to roasting, it tasted just as good as tho move expensive kind, and is quite as tender. •Suet puddings cannot be overcooked. The .longer they aie steamed or boiled the easier they' will be to digest. Sleek is not always available when soup is wauled in a hurry, so it is useful to have a recipe by one that dispenses with it, as docs tho following: Chop up a medium-shod onion and fry it lightly in about an ounce of blitter or dripping. Remove tin; skins from Jib ol tomatoes (after dipping them in boiling water for a moment or two so that the skiffs may bo peeled off more easily), slice them up, and add to Die onion, together with ‘Joy. of rico and a quart of water. Simmer slowly until all the ingredients nro thoroughly well cooked. A tiny Joint of pork, enough for two, is generally wasteful cooked in the ordinary way; but if a small piece of loin, minus tho crackling, is chosen, and cooked ns follows, there will bo no shrinkage: Make a plain paste of Hour and water, rather Miff, and roll up your litllo joint in it, pressing Clio ends together (irmly, and allow about 10 minutes extra to each pound when roasting. Pork, which sliould always bo well done, should have half an'hour to tho pound, roasted in tho usual manner. Beforo serving remove the crust. This year velvet is being much worn for hat trimmings. Velvet worn near the face aids in making the wearer’s complexion look its host. A velvet edging to a hat is most becoming, so is a velvet collar to a coat or costume.
