ROUND ABOUT THE HOUSE.
Pieces of licorice laid where ants run is recommended. Meringues should be put on puddings after they are slightly cool, as, if the pudding be hot, the egg will liquefy. A little memorandum book, or slate, in the kitchen is a great convenience for busy housekeepers in which to write a list of things needed for the kitchen and table. Old newspapers torn in small pieces and wet in water softened by the addition of a little ammonia, are excellent to wash lamp chimneys. Steamed dumplings, with stewed chicken or veal, are an acquisition. Cook both these meats until nearly done, then make the dumplings like baking powder biscuits ; pour all but a little of the water from the meats into another vessel for gravy, and put tne dumplings in the pot on the meat so they will not touch the water, and cook until all the water is boiled away.
