Delicious meat pies or dumplings may also be made of cold meats. Make a rich biscuit dough and roll out. half an inch thick into a pie tin. Spread the top with melted butter and place another layer of the dough on it. Bake in a hot oven. Have the meat chopped. and put it into a steWpan with the gravy left or with enough milk to moisten it. Season as desired and thicken with a little florur. “hen the biscuit is baked split it and spread the hot mixture be- tween and serve hot.‘ Another way is [0 roll out the rich dough or crust thin, and cut into small pieces. Spread a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each piece, foul «up and pinch the edges of the crust together and ‘team or bake. for from twenty to thirty minutes. it there is any gravy left put it in a stewpan with enoughl milk to make a desu‘ed quantity. beason with butter, salt and pepper and thicken “Hill a Very little flour. "-'1his can be poured aiound the dumplings or served iii a sepaiate dish as desued. ' A nice way to utilize cold meats which can be thinly sliced is (to dip the slices in egg, roll in corn. meal or fine, crisp bread crumbs and fry in the gravy left over with the addition of? some fat, either butter or drippings. This served with mashed potatoes is very good. U The meat and the gravy, should not be mixed together at the end of the meal but left in separate dishes. It looks much heater and besides the meat is nicer to handle when it is to be used again. it is a good plan to have other seasonings except. merely salt and pepper in fixing" over meats as the seasoning is a great. point. Cel- ery salt imparts a delicious flavor, and so do the many herbs which most housewives cultivate in their vegetable gardens, such as sage, thyme, parsley, dill and marjoram. Tomato or mush- room catsup, too, is often used for flav- oring and is usually like-d. Meats and soups should not: be highly seasoned and just a tiny bit of herb or a dash of flavoring powders is generally suffici- ent. Cold cooked beef, pork, mutton, fowl or fish left over from previous meals may be utilized and made up in- to appetizing dishes which would nev- er give a hint of a former appearance. All kinds of meat, and also fish, may be. chopped fine, seasoned as: desired. mixed With an egg for every two cup- tuls of meat and a little mllK and crisp fine bread crumbs. ’l'he mixture may then be rolled into balls or cakes and fried in hot fat. Another way to use mutton is to chop it fine and add to every pint of chopped meat a half cup- ful of bread crumbs, one egg With pep- per and salt. b‘crm into balls and drop carefully into a kettle of boiling. wat- er'. Remove the kettle to the back of the stove, where 'the contents cannot boil and after five minutes lift the bails out. Make a cream sauce and pour over them. Very good pies can be made of chicken or turkey left over fromapreviotusmeat. A rich pie crust should be made and put: into a deep pie tin. The fowl should .be cut up in- to small pieces and mixed with whatev- er gravy there is or cream and seas- oned. A very little floaur may be dusted over it. The top crust may then be put on with two or three in- cisions made in the middle. Veal and pork may also be utilized 'in this man- ner. UTILIZING THE PIECES. This problem of making use of “left- overs” is one of interest to the economi- cal housekeepers, and in order to always have appetizing foods placed before her family she must necessarily learn all the new and successful methods of pre- second appearance on the table. '. One becomes tired of cold roasts or of simple hashes, which may do very well once in a while. but if resorted to frequent- ly are not appreciated. The fatslskimâ€" med from roasts Should begput into a clean jar and can be used for shorten- ing unless flavored too strongly of the meat.as is likely to be the casein mut- ton fat; yet if mixed with half butter the flavor will scarcely be. *discernable. Such fats are the best, for frying frit- ters, croquettes and the like. .What- ever grease in which fish has been fried must be thrown away as it will ruin the :iiavor o: anything linto which it may be mixed. ‘ ‘ Cold boiled rice. may beiserved again in several ways. To a cupful of the cooked rice add one egg, a dash of salt and pepper and some chopped meat or fowl. ib‘orm into cakes and fry» in hot fat. Another way is to mix a cupful of the rice with; a pint or more of milk, a pinch of salt. one of sugar, an egg and enough flour to make a batter. This makes delicious griddle cakes. A nice little rice pudding may be made as above, omitting the flour and using two eggs instead of one. For a change this mixture may be baked.in gem pans, and comes out in? dainty little cakes. Boiled, baked or mashed potato can be “made over” in several ways which are very appetizing. Cold boiled pota- toes can be. used for potato salad if mashed or sliced. They may also be cutu up into cubes and Stem ed in cream or milk. and seasoned with butter and salt, being thickened n 1th a little flour. Baked or mashed potato may be mixed with an egg, 3. bit. of butter, 3. pinch of salt and rolled .into cakes and fried in plenty of fat. Sweet potatoes may be utilized in this Iw ay also. An- other way to use cold potatoes prepar- ed in any form is: to grate or mash them, season with salt and add alit- tle butter and cream. The mixture should be briskly beat en and then put into a baking dish and browned in the oven. This is a nice wayâ€"one which the children like ewecially well. Bread puddings, as a. rule, are not; rehshed but occasnonally when nice- 1y made they are good. Of course only wheat bread can beused.P1ace the hot muk ovei- it. \Vhen sufficiently soft beat the mixture smooth. For. an 'E‘HE HOME. laverage-sized pudding add two eggs, a bit of butter,.salt and a little sugar. lf raisins and currants are liked add a lcupful of them carefully picked and lcleaned. The little seedless Sultana [raisins are the best as_they are no ‘trouble to clean. Pour this mixture 1n- to a well-buttered pudding dish and shake in a moderate oven. Serve with la butter or cream sauce flavored with iwine, brandy, or any flavoring extract. iln some houses Stale cake accumulates rapidly and the house-keeper hates. to gthrow it away and '3'et does not know ghow to utilize it. Here is one way: iCrumble the cake up fine (one or more ikinds will do). Beat it well with some lmilk, an egg, a level. teaspoonful of 'baking powder and a pmch of salt, not making the mixture too thick. Pour it 'into a shallow baking tin, and bake. brown. 'Make a sauce- as follows? To a cup of cream or rich milk add a tablespoonful of butter, two of sugar, two of grated unsweetened chocolate, and a very little cornstarch moistened lwith some cold milk‘ or: water. Care should be taken that this does not scorch and it should not. be too thick. Cut the pudding in strips or squares ' and serve with the sauce. t " ‘- For Breakfastâ€"For an appetizing breakfast relish, warm two cupfuls of milk, season with half a teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper and butter. Split. fine Boston crackers, as many as de- sired. Pour the milk over them and let them soak. then the milk! is all soaked in, lay the crackers’ crust down in a deep baking-dish. Put. a. small piece of butter and a pinch. of salt on each; then lay in the rest of the crack- ers, seasoning in the same way. Beat. tvso esgg, mixing with two more cups of milk, and pour over the crackers; bake in a quick oven twentVl minutes. W11“ UU‘ - v Sour cream makes the ‘most. delicious corn cake. ginger bread and cookies by beating a teaspoonful of saleratus into a cup of the cream; and then of course using no baking powder. \ uvu‘vv â€"»vâ€"â€"â€" There need be but little waste if} a house Where. the little. things are taken care of, and if all housewives would only try What others have: tried and succeeded with, they could with the same allowance set much better tables and afford a. few of the luxuries be- sides. ~ RECIPES.

At first glance it seems a remark- ably low average that a city so vast and compact should have but 122 seri- ous fires in a year; but in addition to the fact that a “serious” fire in London usually means a total destruc- tion of the property (exterior walls sometimes excepted), there is to be con- sidered the appalling fact that 106 lives were lost in these serious fires. Com- mander \Vells says that statistics tes- tify to the rapid increase of fatalities as the result of fires, and the inference is plain that better methods of dealing with the great enemy are imperative. \Vithin the county limits of London (some 75,442 statute acres) there is a population of, in round numbers, 4,500,- 000. To fire-guard the immense terri- tory there is a brigade of 84‘? firemen, 25 men under instruction, 1? pilots, and 76 coachmen. There are 58 land fire coachmen. There are 58 land fire en- gine stations, 5 river stations, 8 sub- stations, 15 street stations, 57 land steam fire engines, 9 steam fire en- gines on barges, ’77 manual engines, 115 hose carts, 37 miles of hose, 8 steam tugs, 13 barges, 2246 fire escapes, and 580 call posts. The average number of men avallable for duty IS 652. by day and 38_8_ by night. In the majority of London houses there is but one stairway, and that a narrow one. There is no emergency exit or escape, and the thought or pro- vision to insure safety in the event of a fire seems never to have entered the mind of a builder. That the “fire es- capes” furnished at the eleventh hour by the firemen are to a large extent mockeries is proved by the proportion of 106 fatalities to 12:4 “setrious” fires. That the vocation of firemen is not one of great hazard here is shown by the fact of there having been but 110 ac- cidents of all kinds to firemen last year, and only two fatalities. An economic conservatism is largely contributory to the fire risks of London, Wherea cheap mineral oil is chiefly used in lighting. Lamps are in common use where a brighter illumination than candles af- ford is desired. There is a pretence of gas in most of the better sort of houses, but mineral oil lamps predomi- nate even there. and in the great ma- jority of lodging houses gas‘is used only on the drawmg room and dining room floors. Electric lights are coming into service very slowly. But candles and latrips are still the main opponents of darkness 1n London houses, as through- out the rest of England. Their utility in support of the fire brigade, or in supplying it with reason for existence, is considerable when weighed against other muses of fires. Out of the total 35616 fires, candles may claim the cred- it for 206 and mineral oil lamps 399 among ascertained causes, and proba- bly a fair proportion of the 880 “un- known” causes.

'Ihe sanitary- situation here. is by no means improving, writ-es a Bombay correspondent. When the weather is clear and warm the mortality dimin- ishes, but when the wind blows from the north it increases fearfully. Neverâ€" theless, it is hoped that the plague has reached its maximum point of intenâ€" sity, and that henceforth the sanitary condition of this unfortunate city will be ameliorated ' During the past few days the panic has been on the increase. Up to Christ- mas about ’50 ,000 nativ- as had fled f1 om the city. In three weeks the number of fugitives has been 'increased by from 10,000 to 15,000. Every day trains streamboats, and sailing Vessels carry aVVay the terrified people.

Now the official figures“ 1,638, may well be subject to revision. because the authorities admit that the returns are incomplete. “In other words, the figures‘stand rather under the mark. ‘ Doubtless you have already learned that, although the European element here. was at first untouched by the plague, it is now attacked. The natives employed in the. shops were the first victims. In one large German estab- lishment three natives only out of eigh- teen remain. The rest are dead; and the Europeans are. already beginning to drop off. The plague advances. in the beginning of January Dr. Mauser, President of the Sanitary Commission and professor of the facul- ty of medicine, became ill. It was re- ported that he had inflammation of the lungs ,but four days afterwards he died, and the European hospital nurse who attended him died three days af- ter him. The death of Dr. Manser caused profound excitement, especialâ€" ly when it was reported that in his blood and in that of the hospital nurse the presence of the bacilli of the plague was detected. It is now certain that the plague finds an easy lodgment in the ORGANS. OF RESPIRATION when they are affected with colds or other troubles. ABSOLUTELY DESERTED. The cotton, mills, that employed thous- ands of hands. are closed. “Merchants and business men have all disappeared, and both importation and exportation 113:3? completely stopped. .. . . The Government does all it possibly can to allay the panic. Camps and tents have been set up in the public places to shelter those who have fled from houses in which the plague apâ€" peared. ’l‘he salaries of the employees in. the municipality were doubled, but Without success. The officials fled. It is difficult to diminish the terror of the natives. Lectures, encouragement, and advice in regard to hygiene have all been: worthless. It is impossible to reason with terror; and, as a matter of fact, it is necessary to have a stout heart to the able to resist the contagion of fear,. wheIn, from morning till even- ing, there! is one continuous procession of funerals; and in the evening the sky is reddened with the fires that con- sume the bodies. An absolutely ter- rifying Spectacle is presented at the Queen’s road square, where the Hin- doos burn their dead. For a consider- able distance: we can see the huge col- umns of smoke and hear the wails of the relatives, the lugubrious sound of the cymbals. and the cracking of the blazing wood. * But now the corteges of relatives are becoming more and more rare. The greater. number of the bodies are carried off by the employees of the city, who in brigades labor both day and night in the work of disinfecting hous- es, carrying away bodies, and here and there ‘burning down shantles that fermerly sheltered large families of na- tiv'es. The Government" employes learned doctors, Who hold conferences, debate, and make pr0postition; but the medi- cines that are distributed have no ef- fect upon, the plague. The houses are whitewashed. odoriferous plants are burned in the interior. the clothes and furniture in the houses Where there were deaths from the piague are also burned. and even the tiles on the roofs have been taken ‘away for the pur- poses of ventilation.
