Roll .jut, *:id cut into shapes. Pl.ice on a baking tin, and bake slowly. Jlam in Jelly.â€" Put half a glass oil currant jelly In a chafing dish â- with a tablespoonful of butter. When it is hot, lay in eight thin â- sfcpes of cold boiled ham and sim- n»r five minutss. Serve on toast k'gangles. fTender Drumsticks.â€" To make tik first joint of turkey or chicken tender and juicy, with a sharp knife split the back of the leg to the joint down deep to the bone. Pull out eath hard tendon, beginning at the top and working downward. Bprinkle in a little salt and careful- lyj.sew up to retain shape. The re- suJt will be a tender, juicy piece. Show Cake. â€" Cream a quarter of a 'pound of butter with a quarter of, a pound of caster sugar; add a well-beaten egg; then sift in gra- daally half a pound of potato flour, add a little grate<i lemon rind, and beat for ten minutes. Bake in a flat buttered tin for three-quarters of an hour in a slow oven. This cake should not be allowed to get brown. Potato PufTs.â€" Boil one pound of potatoes, pass them through a wire B^vo, mix well ic two ounces of butter, one ounce of fiour, a little baking powder and enough water tft make it into a stiff paste. Roll this out and cut into rounds, place «Tittle well-flavored minced Ijeef in tbe centre of each, roll them up in- tq a ball, and fry to a golden brown in boiling deep fat. •^Sausage Pudding.â€" One pound of sausages steeped in boiling water to remove their skins. Make a suet •ofust, and line a pudding basin with it. Place on the crust the sausage racat, any scraps of cold meat you have, an onion chopped small, a ffw sage leaves, also chopped, i)ep- per and salt, some stock, and mush- i>oom ketchup to moisten the whole, '3over the pudding with suet crust, and boil in a floured cloth for three IXOVTI. \ Mutton Rechauffe. â€" Here is a savory dish. Slice the cold roast imutton thin, and season with salt ^iid pepper ; have some cold boiled Viacaroni, in inch bits ; put alter- pate la\'er of cracker crumbs, the meat, and the macaroni, in a but- tered b,aking dish, witli a spoonful of tomato catsup on the latter ; pro- ceed until the dish is filled, finish- ing with a thick layer of the crumbs imoistened with two tablespooufuls of melted butter. A breast of mutton, if carefully J^oked in this way, is a very good feint and we all know that it is not an expensive one. Tie the meat in a thin cloth, and simmer gently, allowing ten minutes for every pound of meat. Take it out of the choth. place in the oven, cover with imelted dripping, and baste con- stantly. Ten minutes before serv- ing, dust it thicklv with crumbs, place a few bits of dripping on it, and brown. Servo with thick gravy, anfl garnish with slices of carrots and bits of broccoli, or, indeed, with any vegetable in season. Lemon Solid. â€" Put the thinly pared rinds of three lemons in a basin. Pour on them a pint of boil- ing water. Let these stand for an hojir. Squeeze the juice of fipur le- mons into another basin, beat up thfe yolks of five eggs, mix into tho lemon juice a tablespoonful of corn- fl*ur, now put a breakfastcupful of Iflaf sugar into a stewp.an, straiji into it the water in which the le- mon rind has been soaking, add the lemon juice and eggs. Stir the mix- ture over the fire till it thickens, 6ut do not allow it to boil or it will curdle. This will make a large mould. • Stewed Celery. â€" Trim and cut to Vie same length a number of heads of celery, split them in two length- '"wise, tie in bundles with thread, and parboil for a quarter of an hour in salted water. Drain these ^carefully, place in a clean saucc- 'pan, add an onion, a blade of m.ace, â- » pepper and salt to taste. Add enough stock to cover the contents and cook gently till tho celery is •tender. Take av.'ay the string, ar- range the celery neatly on a dish ; take some of the stock in which it has been stewed, remove all fat ^ from it, thicken with a little but- ter and flour, jjour over the celery, and r;erve. spoon. Let vinegar and butter come to a boil, beat the sugar and eggs together; add mustard, stir into the boiling vinegar until it thickens, but do not boil. Remove from fire, place in bottle, and keep in a cool place. This will keep in- definitely, and always ready for use. chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex us and in cultivating our undergrowth of small pleasures. Try to regard present vexations as you will re- gard them a month hence. Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get. CONFECTIONERY. Cocoanut Drops.â€" To one gr.ated cocoanut add half its weight of sugar and the white of one egg beat- en to a stiff froth ; mix thoroughly and drop on buttered white i^aper or tin sheets. Bake fifteen min- utes. Three Minute Butter Scotch. â€" Use three-quarters cup of sugar, one tablespoon of water, butter the size of a walnut, one-half a table- spoon of vinegar. Boil until brit- tle; pour on buttered plates. Uncooked Candy. â€" Mix one pound of powdered sugar in the white of one egg. Flavor to taste. This can be mixed with nuts and melt- ed in any shape or used to stuff dates with. It is better after stand- ing awhile. It also can be used as a tilling fjr chocolate creams. Wet Corn to Pop. â€" When corn will not pop try dipping the corn and corn popper in cold water, then pop it. You will be surprised how m\ich better it will be and tho kernels will be twice the ordinary size. Take a cup of sugar, a half cup of v.ater, and three table- spoonfuhs of vinegar ; boil until it strings, pour the syrup over the popped corn. Make into balls. Wet your hands in cold water so the corn will not stick to vour hands. GET A TIN T.VBLE. Hou.sekeepers who have never had a tin-covered table for kitchen use are still unacquainted with one of the most valuable articles of domes- tic economy. An ordinary kitchen table takes kindly to the metal cover. Fit a sheet of tin on the table, and perforate the edges for tacking. The tin should cover the thickness of tho board top, that it may bo tacked on the underside of the table. A table so covered needs no scrubbing, is impervious to hot kettles, sheds grease as the prover- bial duck's back does water, and, in fact, cheers the heart of the kit- chenmaid or housewife more than anything on earth. A STATES.HAN'S SOX. Captain Walter Long, A.D.C. to his Royal Highness the Governor- General, is thirty-two years old, and has had a brilliant career in the army. He served throughout the South African war, was fre- quently mentioned in despatches and received the D.S.O. Captain Long is the eldest son of the Rt. Hon.

Cabbage Pudding. â€" Use six crackers rolled fine, three pounds of cabbage chopped fine, one-half »cup of butter, salt and pepper to 1 taste : enough sweet milk to mois- ten ; cover with large leaves of cab- â- oabe and bake. ^ *<:)ttle Salad Dressing- -Take of â-¼inegar three-quarters of a cup ; „ bntter, a teaspoon, melted ; sugar, <Bie-third cup; eggs four; mustard, it • teaspoon, made into paste with â- «old water; ialt, one-third tea- Soap will go twice as far if well dried. It should be cut into small blocks, and then arranged in tiers with spaces between to allow them to dry. The best way to keep windows from steaming or frosting is to clean the inside of the window with a cloth moistened with pure glycer- ine, wiping it so as to leave only a trace of the glycerine. An excellent mixture to remove grease-spots from clothing is made of four jjarts alcohol to one part of ammonia, and about half as much ether as ammonia. Apply the liquid to the spot, and then rub with a sponge and clear water. To prevent a goose being greasy pare a lemon very thin so that the white part is very thick. Place 'chis inside the goose just before cook- ing, and remove it before dishing up. The lemon will not only ab- sorb all the fat, but it will also im- part a delicious flavor to the goose. Shabby velvet can be improved as follows ; First brush thoroughly so as to remove all dust, then spread a damp clnth on a hot iron, and over tliis draw the wrong side of the velvet. As soon Jis the ste.am from the velvet ceases the hot iron must be removed, or the velvet will score!) . A Nice Way to Cook Sausages. â€" Put a pound of saus.ages into a saucepan with one pint of water and boil for three-quarters of an hour ; then place on a hot dish in the oven to keep warm while the gravy is being thickened with two tablespoonfuls of flour and a little browning. Season with pepper and salt and pour over. When washing a new blanket for tho first time, begin by soaking it for twelve hours in cold water, then rinse in clear water. This will remove the sulphur used in the bleaching. After this wash the blanket in a lukewarm lather made of boiled soap and water. Rinse well in clear water, shake thorough- ly and hang out to dry. It is verv injurious to children's teeth to allow them to eat bread and butter biscuits, or any farina- ceous food in bed at night, and to go to sleep with particles of such clinging to the teeth. It ferments during the night, becomes acid» and slowly injures the enamel. Clean the chiklren's teeth the last thing every night. If it is necessary to wash corsets, take out the steels in front and sides. Lay the corsets on a flat sur- face, and with a small brush scrub them tl'.oroughly with a tepid or cold lather of white Castile soap. When quite clean let cold water run on them by holding them under a running tap until the soap is all rinsed off. Pull them lengthwise until they are straight and .shapely, and let them dry tn a cool place, pulling them again when partly dry.

The day had Seen unusually hot and sultry even for Ceylon. But there was the prospect of a change. A cluster of small clouds which liad risen over the hills had been fol- lowed by others larger in volume and blacker in color, until at length the north was darkened with and unbroken stretch of ominous vapor. Presently the foliage, parched and draping, was stirred by the first skirmish of the ap- proaching storm. The wind stead- ily mcreaised in force, and the clouds rose, darkening tho region over which they passed. There, from base to summit, a streak of light separated for an instant the th.ick mass, and a moment afterwiird a distant rumbling reached the ear from the troubled heavens. There was a steady subdued light casting around well defined shadows on the dry earth. But few persons were abroad, and except that occasional- ly a coolie hurried by in t'lie hope of reaching hi.s destination before the tempest burst, the road was left to the dust, which was blown along in diagonal lines, says a writter in the Pall Mall Gazette. In one of the native dwellings that lay back from tho road, embower- ed in palms and a wealth of tropical vegetation, ayoung man lay be- tween life and death. He had been BITTEN BY A COBRA. and an inclination to sleep was over-powering him. More than once he had closed his eyes and al- lowed his head to drop, and for a time had resisted the frantic efforts of his friends to arouse him. The Kapurala had been sent for, and had just arrived with his company of dancers, tomtom beaters and singers, and they were now mak- proceeded his fervor increased, un- til his movements became THOSE OF A MANIAC. He was accompanied in his sparodic gestures and grotesque postures by the other dancers. Suddenly they would bewjme motionless, with hands outstretched, singing t > tho unhallowed mumping of the tom- toms; and then, as momentarily, they would bend their knees almost to a sitting posture, and advance by slow and convulsive steps, while their trinkets tinkled and tlieir wild «ong added terrors to the tempest sliaken night. Then their move- ments wou.ld become more vigor- ous, until they had worked them- selves up into a frenzy, in which the tomtom heaters fully participated. The latter struck their instruments with bare hands and with great force, all the time contorting their faces until they assumed tho most demoniac expressions. To the ac- compai;iment of the storm tho scene was impressive in tho ex- treme, for the devil dancers clapijcd their hands, screamed and haliocd in a manner so wild that it tilled with awe even those who had wit- nes,scd the ceremony many times before.

There, for hours, they marched back and forth before the government insijcctor. In and out, across, up and down the field they went. They pitched their tents and inmates of the hut grew more com- j built their camp fires. They sliowel posed. The storm, too, luid shown all that tiiey had learned to jierfec- signs of abating.

Stars of less size than the 14th magnitude are found in millions in the milky way, and the work of counting them from photogrJiphic plates can best be described as similar to counting blood corpus- cles under a microscope. Prof. Kapteyn places the total .at 842,000,000 stars, the average bcinfi 20,400 stars to the square degree of the heavens. He has further calculated that the total light emanating from all the stars is equal to 2,.3S4 times the luminosity of a star of the first magnitude. According to the Dutch scientist the boundaries of the universe, as far as human science has been able to penetrate, extend to 32,000 light years. . * WOODEN AMMUNITION. Three years ago civil war was raging between two Afghan tribes, the AH Khel and the Mala Khel. The latter tribe built great hopes of success on a cannon of such a size that 160 men were required to dr.aw it. A Sikh trained in a British battery was engaged to work the gun, on the understanding that he received 20 rupees every time he hit the village fort of the foe. This did not prove renumerative, for ac- cording to an eye witness the am- munition consisted of "olive wood halls bound with iron bands, which have a highly eccentric flight an<l are calculated to do about eaual damage to friend and foe."
